THE CHINESE MARTYRS

big beheading knives with long handles,
to help kill the others. Pastors Stokes,
Simpson and Whitehouse were next kill

other two by several. When the men were
finished the women were taken, Mrs.
Farthing had hold of the hands of her
children who chung to her, but the soldiers
parted them and with one blow beheaded
their mother. The executioner beheaded
all the children and did it skilfuIly need

clumsy and several of the ladies suf-

to his doctrines in preference to all 9TH

the doctrines of Jesus been always
preached as pure as they came from the
lips, the whole civilized world would now
have been christened. Had there never
been commentator there never would
have been an infidel." And again, in let
ter to Samuel Greenhow written four
years after he retired from the presi-
dency, he says: There was never more
pure and sublime system of morality de-
livered to man than is to be found IL
the four evangelists."

These bitter reflections were provoked
by the publication in pamphlet form for
campaign purposes of a sermon preached
by prominent clergyman of Connecticut,
who accused Mr.. Jefferson of the grossest
immortality and dishonesty. He was
charged with debauchiDg his slave Wo-
men, swindling widows and orphans, and
embezzling trust funds. Mr.. Jefferson
wrote to a friend in Connecticut, denying
the embezzIement story, and explaining
that he never had charge of any trust
funds. Aside from general contradiction
he paid no attention to the other charges,
which was according to his custom, and
it is said that this was the only time
that he ever took public notice of an
attack upon his morals.

The following letter was written to
the North China Herald by a native
Chinese Christian. The details of these
martyrdoms are just reaching us. as it
was not until March that these events,
which took place in July, were reported
at the coast. This clipping was sent to
the Associate Reformed Presbyterian by
one of our own missionaries. Rev. Mark
B. Grier, and the trustworthiness of the
account is youched for by another mis-
sionary. These murderers are the devo-
ted patriots whom some of the secular
papers have been extolling and the mis-
sionaries are some of the class who have
been most roundly abused by their coun-
trymen. This is one of the evidences of
the power of Satan over the minds of
men, But Satan always over-reaches
himself, and the truth always prevails.

Mr. Jefferson was accused of being an

as odious as the other, and if the law had
been enforced against him he would have

for denying that doctrine. When the news
Of his election as President reached Mass

ladies, in pious CONSERVATION. hid their
Bibles in butter coolers and lowered
them into their wells
Mr.. Jefferson was a member of the
Episcopal church at Charlottesville, which
still stands and is attended by some of
his descendants. The little congregation
first worshipped in the court house and
he was to be seen there every Sabbath
morning bringing with him folding chair
