CHURCH FINANCES.
On the Whole, There Is Progress, But
Il Should Be Greater.

The Baptists of New York have de-
cided to raise twentieth century
fund of $l,OOOOOO or more to be eX-
pended along the lines of church ef-
fort. BY taking this step they have
initiated the Episcopalians, who are
raising a similar but larger fund, and
the Methodists, who last year began
the raising of jubilee year fund OF
S2O,0OO,OO0, and have now nearly ac-
complished the task.
The Boston Transcript, which de-
votes much space to religious matters
and Is generally regarded as an au'
thority, says that the new year out
look in four Of the nine religious bou-
les in the United States having the
largest memberships is promising, in
three 1t is fair, and in at least two 1t is
ominous. Those having the bright
prospects are the Presbyterians
North and South, Methodists North
and South. Lutherans in general coun'
ell and general synod, Disciples OF
Christ, Quakers, and United Brethren
The same authority says fair condi
tons prevail in Roman Catholic, Bap
fist North and South, Jew, Universal
list, and Unitarian bodies. 1t will DC
casion some surprise that the paper
sets down the Protestant Episcopa
and Congregational bodies as IN "a pc

ways in which the policy now adopted
by the two great institutions can be
broadened and developed. "A sIngla
prOfessOrship OF Chinese" he said,
cannot be expected to accomplish a
great deal. It is not possible for one
man to teach. as II should be taught,
all that pertains to the civilization Of
such race as the Chinese. The ideal
should be to furnish the Oriental train
ing that the European schools furnish
TO do that the income of $4,000 600
will ultimately be needed. The point
should be impressed that this instruc-
ton has more than academic value. In
the present state of world politics 1t is
closely related to commercial life. The
European schools have ms many as 300
or 400 students, many of them training
themselves for mercantile or diploma
tic positions. There is also an impor-
tant ethical lesson In learning what has
been done by people so different from
ourselves. We are inclined to mini
mize the importance of work done by
other races. simply because we do not
know The artistic development and
the inner life Of the Chinese are reve-
lation to the European when he learns
of them. Even when n commercial edu-
cation is the primary object, the eX-
periencc abroad shows that the sclen-
tihc side of the work must be kept up
If the teaching is to be effective. As a
matter Of fact scientific work of tho
highest kind is done in those schools
and It may be done here when we have
the facilities"

The receipt at the American Museum
Of Natural History Of several Chi
nesc collections sufficient to fill an en-
tire hall. marks the beginning Of a
most important line of work at that in

Post Taken in connection with the
founding of a chair Of Chinese Ian
guage and literature at Columbia Uni
versity. and the gift by the Chinese
Government Of a library, 1t shows the
progress of the movement toward maxi
ing this city a center for the study Of
Chinese and Eastern AsiatiC subjects.
Dr. Berthold l.aufer of the Museum
who has been active in the work of the
,Iesup North Pacific expedition. sailed
for China last September, and viii re-
main three years. The name of the
donor of the funds which made pos
sible this extensive collecting in China
has not yet been made public. The
first results of II are represented by the
objects which are now about TO be
placed on exhibition. The west hall
on the second floor Is to be given up to
this purpose, and cases are now being
pu. in,
The collection already received Is a
comprehensive one. Subsequent ship
ments. therefore. will rather supple
ment particular parts of Ii than go into
entirely different phases Of Chinese
life. Industries. uses of natural pro-
ducts. administration, domestic and
social fife are all covered.
Within a few months. moreover, the
Museum will have the nucleus of a
Chinese library. some 300 or 400 vol
umes In all. Many of these. to those
who can read them. will be important
for the understanding and appreCia-
ton of the collections. Histories OF
China are obviously Of value for the
understanding of antique works of the
old dynasties. The Chinese have fine
encyclopedias. although the foreigner
even IL he knows the language. has
great difficulty in getting information
from them, on account of the absence
OF any alphabetical arrangement. The
| subjects are arranged according to an
arbitrary scheme like Rogets Thesau'
rus or the decimal library catalogue
