by very large audience. Mrs. L. NJ.
Wheeler of Lake Mills, Wis, re-
turned missionary of China who spent
II years in the work in that country
delivered the address, which was not
lin conformity with the usual
missionary sermon. She spoke in
eulogistic terms of the Chinaman and
seemed glad to admit that they had
been her friends and agreeable
companions. She severely criticised
our own and foreign countries for
their acts of aggression and democrat
ization in the Orient, and called the
Boxers, despite their many acts of
barbarity. patriots. 1t was the best
missionary talk, most truthful and
ingenious. we ever had the pleasure
of listening to.
