CHINA MISSIONS
 WERE REVIEWED John W. Wood of New York
 Told of the Work SERVICES INTERESTING At Night New vestry Was Elected and Reports of Church Officers
 Were Read-Impres-
 slve Music.
SERVICES INTERESTING

The services of the Church of the Ad- vent yesterday were of a special nature and were possessed of considerable inter est. In the morning at Il o'clock MT. John W. Wood of New York, correspond ing secretary of the Foreign and Domes- tic Missionary Society of the church for the United States, delivered an address on China.
 This address was one of the most inter- esting speeches ever delivered In this city on the question of missionary work in foreign field, and was listened to with marked attention by very large congre- gation During the course of the address MT. Wood reviewed the reports of the missionaries in China, all of which showed that wonderful amount of good work was being done In the country where the life of the worker was never safe.
 Denied Reports.
 After speaking at length of the work the missionaries are doing MT. Wood re- ferred to reports that have been published in this country relative to the ignorance of many of the workers. These reports he absolutely denied and gave proof that they were false by showing the statistics regarding their education and training.
 New vestry Elected. At the evening services the regular an- nual reports of the vestry were read and a new vestry elected. The reports were full of interest and showed the church to be in a very satisfactory condition. Among the interesting items was the statement that s12.OOo had been spent in Improvements on both church and rec- tory.
 The election of a vestry resulted in choosing of the members of the last year yestry. They are Messrs R. H. Pearson, Robert Jemison, Rufus N Rhodes, E. M. Tutwiler Charles Roberts, s. H. Arm strong, Judge s. E. Greene, M. A. Porter, s. E. Thompson H. K. Miller and Robert A. Terrell.

THE SERVICES AT
 ST. PAUL YESTERDAY
"feace Be Unto You" Was the Note of Benign Ben-
 ediction

Peace be unto you" was the note of benediction that rung benignly through out the services in St. Pauls Catholic church at high mass yesterday forenoon. It was the text of the sermon and it sounded in the splendid music, which was grand and wonderfully inspiring. The Gospel told the great facts of the appear again when the Saviour appeared a sec- apostles after the crucif1xion, first when Thomas was absent and again when he was present with his brethren when the Saviour stood in their midst. though the doors were closed. st.
 Peace be unto yotn" he said to the god ly ten, and when they related the glory to Thomas he declared he would not be- lievs unless he could see the Master and thrust his hand into the holy wound and again when the Savious appeared a sec ond time and bade Thomas to convince himself, and he was convinced.
 The divine meaning of all this was what the Rev. Father O'Reilly taught with re- markable force, fervor and eloquence. This priest of the good heart and the great human sympathy and charity was never stronger in presenting this lesson that is so dear to all Christians of all creeds His words filled and were clear in every part of the spacious and splen- did place of prayer.
 The music was Memoli's mass and was furnished by the full choir. with an or chestra of fourteen Instruments and ex- perts declared that nothing nobler in church music had ever been heard in Bir- mingham. In add. O. fso the powerful choir of the chur 5 gs.SH. H. sinnige's voice made mHsic < would lend dis tinction to any ;a.,,, |. Twenty-six al tar boys in beautiful vestments sung the responses with marked skill, beauty and force.
 i The, music was the same as that of Eas- ter Sunday. with the exception of Mrs. Sinnege's assistance.
 An immense congregation filled the church.

A DINNER PUDDING
Of Grape-Nuts Is Charming.

It is known fact that many people fail to properly digest the starchy parts of bread and other food and ordinary buildings are especially hard on the '.in- ternal machinery.
 The pudding described on the package containing Grape-Nuts is very delicious and unusually digestible.
 Grape-Nuts food is made of the grape sugar which results from preparing the starchy parts of cereals. in the same way artificially as the body should do by natural processes. Therefore this food furnishes food all ready for immediate assimilation into blood and tissue. The food is ready prepared requires no cook ing whatever. Grape-Nuts will be found most valuable by Athlete. Brain Worker or Invalid.

Sheridan, and as they are of COM
paratively recent date, there are not
only the written records but many
thousands of living men who can
bear witness to the facts in these
cases.
The recent death of eX President
Harrison was marked by not only
lowering the British flag in England
but also in Africa, China and India.
There are also many readers of Mr..
Sheridan's paper who will remem-
Der that at the death of Lincoln the
press of this country was filled with
the great mourning program in
London and every other European
capital. Not only the British flag
was half masted everywhere, but
the nation was in sincere mourning,
business suspended. and the court
and palaces of the Queen, as well as
all public buildings, were draped in
black. Guns doomed out in sorrow
from British warships in every sea,
and so great was the national grief
at Llncoln's death that the whole
empire mourned only little less
than America; and the whole world
was filled with grief and sympathy
at the cruel fate of the great martyr
President.
With reference to the death of
President Garfield, it may be said
that as this was of more recent
date Mr.. Sheridan may remember
that on receipt of the dreadful news
Queen Victoria Immediately sent to
the British minister in Washington
the following:
Would you express my sincere con-
dOlence to the late Presidents mother
and enquire after her health, as we'll
as Mrs. Garfield's. l should be thank
full If you would procure me good
