VALUE OF TESTIMONY.
GREATER THAN ASSERTION.

There Is none Of us so hardened but that when
we have been able to aid our fellow creatures by
comforting a benefit bringing a little comfort
into their lives we like to have appreciation shown
This generally affords pleasure than the per-
Torrance Of the act Itself, and In this connection
the following letter from a Paris, Texas lady is
OF more than usual interest: Dear Friends: l

WISCONSIN METHoDIsTs OBJECT
To Alleged Endorsement Of Archbishop
Ireland by President,

dispatch from Milwaukee yesterday
says: President Roosevelt was called on by
the Wisconsin Methodist conference today
to refute the report that he had asked the
Vatican to create Archbishop Ireland a car
dinal. By unanimous vote the conference
decided to send the following letter to the
President:
I'VE see with pain in the press dispatches
a rumor that the Vatican has received from
President Roosevelt an intimation that he
would be personally pleased to see that
Archbishop ireland was created a cardinal
as a reward. for the services he has rem
dered the church and the state.
1--WE strongly doubt the correctness Of
this rumor. for 1t does not seem possible
that the President of the United States
could thus violate the spirit of the Constitu-
ton Of the United States, which requires
the complete separation of the church and
the state. and we hope to see 1t authorize

NEWS FROM PEARY.
Arctic Explorer Telegraphs His Ar
rival at CHATEAU Bay,

A dispatch from New York yesterday
says: Herbert L. Bridgman, secretary of
the Peary Arctic Club received a dispatch
today from Lieut.. r. E. Peary, the arctic
explorer, dated Chateau Bay, Lal,rad dor.
Lieut.. Peary says in the dispatch that he Is
on his way home on the relief ship Wind
ward, and that all on board are well.
Beyond that contained in the dispatch
received today Mr.. Bridgman has no in
formation as to the movements of the ex-
plorer, who sailed with his expedition to
the north pole July 4, 1895 Mr. Bridgman
left Lieut.. Peary at Cape Sabine on the 10Th
of August, 1901
The relief ship Windward left New York
In July last to find the Peary expedition.
and has evidently been successful
Capt. Dedrich was in command of the
Windward. His wife, who lives at Wash
fngton, n. j., today received a dispatch
from her husband giving the same infor-
message sent by Peary himself to Mr..
Bridgman.
Message From DR.. Diedrick.
The New York World of today saws: DR.
Thomas s. Diedrick, who went to the
arctic regions with the Peary expedition,
which started for the north July f. 1891,
and who abandoned Peary voluntarily or
otherwise at Etah, a desolate place on the
northern coast of Greenland, on May "a
l9ul, Is awe and on his way south. His
wife, who lives in Washington, N j. and
who many times within the past year
abandoned hope Of ever seeing her hus-
band again. was overjoyed yesterday by re-
ceiving telegram from him dated Chateau
bay, Labrador saying he was on his way
home and that he was in good health.
This Is the substance of the telegram
received by Mrs. Diedrick:
Am in good health. Accept no favors
from Brtdgman. as he Is my enemy. Spent
winter at Etah. Started across Sabine
Cape January to Peary's winter quarters
Peary said there was nothing for me to
do. Returned to Etah with Esquiman es-
cor.t."
Not until DR.. Diedrick reaches here will
the mystery be explained surrounding the
causes which led him to leave the Peary
expedition and live alone all winter in the
northmost place in the world inhabited by
human beings. The Esquimaux settlement
at Etah numbers but fifty people. and the
probably greater than any which ever befeI

ranks. About all they could do was
to work with the children. A mission
airy would ride along the road with his
cart filled with bananas, and the offer
of some fruit would bring child near.
The next day the same child would
come to the miSsionary'S house to get
some more fruit, and there the oppor
tunity would be given for telling some
simple story. The life-history was

away from his heather home and came

he was as good as dead. When he
came to marry a beautiful young Chris
tian woman, who was student at the
college and who had the misfortune to
belong to lower class, the ire of the
parents was further increased; but
reconciliation was made when little
son was born, male child being es-
pecially dear to the heather heart. A
great-grandmother, who had children
and grandchildren and great-grand-
children about her by the score, all
Christians, though at heart follower
of the Nazarene, was kept from open
Christian, when she died her body
could not be burned. Christianity, DR.
Sanders said, had increased in India
in the last decade $50 per cent, while
the population had increased some
eight per cent. We are not to believe
the glObe-trOtterS who have seen mis-
sionary work abroad as it is carried on
in the slumS of the great cities under
the most disheartening circumstances.
They do not see what transformations
the Gospel of Jesus Christ has wrought;
and, in all too many cases, they do not
care to see.
EMISSION Work in Ceylon" was the
theme OF the evening address. In the
morning DR. Sanders spoke on the
Bible, mainly showing how, the Old
Testament was the record of Gods
revelation to a people growing from
infancy to maturity, There are pas
SageS even where statements are given
out which are positive lies; but this is
not to be charged to the untruthful-
ness of the Bible, but only to the lack
of knowledge on the part of a people
just beginning to see the light. Jeph-
than does not see as Jeremiah sees, and
the rude Amos is not the cultured
Isaiah.
All who heard DR. Sanders, "a pro-
found student of the Word of God and
an earnest Christian, have to thank
him most heartily for Sabbath day
spent in meditation and thoughtful-
ness that will add to the mental stock
in trade for many days to come.

the character of the addresses which
Frank Knight Sanders, Phi. D., Dean
of Yale Theological Seminary, gave at
the Congregational church last Sun
day; the only regret which could find
any expression would be that the very
heavy fall Of snow prevented more per-
sons from enjoying the treat which
was presented. AS it was, 80 or more
came to the morning service, a few
travelling over four miles and breaking
their way through the untrodden snow,
, and an almost equal number coming
out In the bright moonlight when, IN
addition to deep snow, it was swapping
cold.
The speaker, pr Sanders, was born
on missionary soil. Two of his broth
ers are now at work on the foreign
field; and one more would have gone,
had his physical strength permitted.
After graduating from college, DR.
Sanders spent four years of teaching in
Jaffna college, Ceylon; in fact, his
father was the one who started out to
raise the endowment for this splendid
institution. The Leitch sisters, OF
great missionary fame, followed in the

captain who, when within half a
days sailing of Colombo, Ceylon, trick
ed two charming young lady mission
aries, who were making their first en-
trance into the harbor, by rubbing
some spices on the dock and calling
them from the cabin just in time to
sniff the perfumed air. They wrote
home enthusiastically to their friends

pie of southern Ceylon, were described
as ready for the Gospel, but the work
| would necessarily be slower than in
some other localities. No such great
results could be looked for as among
the Telagus of India, nor was there
hope Of repeating in Ceylon the won
derfal story Of Uganda, or the Sand
wich Islands. Rather here it would
be hand-picked fruit, one by one. The
danger here was that the people would
become atheists rather than stay
heather. Previous to 1900 the Dutch
took possession of this island and
forced Professionalism upon the people.
This was followed by reaction, so that
the first missionaries found it difficult
