relations existing between parent and son,
husband and wife, and friend and friend
as they existed in China, and contrasted
those relations with existing conditions
in America. He compared in quite an
amusing manner the subordinate position
of the women OF China with the American
woman. He contrasted the honesty Of the
Chinese with that of the American and
stated that where in America a signature
was necessary. in China simply the pledg-
ed word of man was all sufficient. He
referred only briefly to the doctrines Of
Confusianism and its effect upon the Chi
nese people. He spoke of the Boxer trou-
BILE only briefly. and praised the consum-
mate skill with which the old dowager
empress managed the affairs of state dur
ing those troublouS times when the
Manchurian dynasty was in danger.
On the whole. his address was thought
full forceful and exceedingly interesting.
His delivery was poor. as he has not the
powerful voice a speaker should have to
be heard in a large auditorium.
After his address President Reynolds
presented Minister WI with an address
from the students OF the college. well
coming him here and expressing their
gratitude to him for his presence.
Minister WI was accompanied by his
private secretary, Nun Yew Chung, a
young man of remarkable intelligence and
one who seemed thoroughly familiar with
American institutions and customs. His
manners were those of an American gem
tleman.
After the exercises IN the college chapel
an elegant luncheon was served in one
Of the rooms of the building. At this
were present besides the minister and his
secretary President w. e. Reynolds, l..

entirely informal and no toasts were
given. After the luncheon Mr.. WI was
taken to the state sanitarium and re-
manned there about half an hour. He was
taken through one or two wards, but
seemed restless the entire time he was
there. At o'clock DR.. and Mrs. Chap

Chung, at which were present only the
