Chinese Church Choir.

San Francisco has a real Chinese
choir. 1t Is a church choir, complete
in all its parts, and composed Of young
Chinese vocalists. who are accom-
panied on the organ by Chinese or
ganist. 1t sings to n purely Chinese
congregation composed of men, women
and children.
1t was in 1886 that a Chinese branch
of the Presbyterian church was formed
in San Francisco. 1t was found eX-
tremely hard to bring the men ana
women together for worship, There
was a religious and social chasm that
the men shrunk from crossing. But
concessions were made, and the women
were allowed to worship behind
screens and curtains. Preiudices were
lost ms time wore on. and in 1870
curtains and screens begun TO be low
cred and finally to disappear. But the
men kept to one side OF the church
and the women to the other. hut the
choir marks one of the most positive
advances. for in 1t young men and
young women stand side by side and
their voices blend sweetly, rhythmic
ally and devotionally in hymns OF
praise.-New York Tribune.

Why Men Don't Go to Church.

The Rev, Eric NJ. Farrar. st. John
vicarage, Hoxton, son of the late dean
of Canterbury, says the London Ex-
press, has collected the reasons given
to him by many workingmcn for non
attendance at church:
First.-Because of their love Of home,
Sunday being the only day when many
OF them see their children awake.
Second.-Because they often have no
Sunday clothes. (Mcm-I have often
considered the fashion of Sunday
clothes a device of the devil.)
Third Because there is so little well
come extended to the stranger entering
church.
Fourth. sermons so seldom
touch on the subjects men are most in
terested in.
Fifth.--Because Sunday is the only
day for recreation and social inter
course.
Sixth.-Because they arc leased II
they go by their comrades.
Seventh.-Recause they have TO stay
at home to mind house and children if
the wife goes.
Eighth.-Because they had too much
of it as children.
Ninth.-Because they love the things
temporal more than the things eternal.

Family separations.
Summer red light the last: Beware
Of the family separations which take
away for any length of time wives
from husbands, husbands from wives,
brothers from sisters and parents from
children. Where do you say you are
going this summer WELL" you an
swer, II do not know. I have not yet
made up my mind. I would like to go
down to the seashore II I could, but
that is so far away. My husband and
boys could be with me only a little
while IL did go there" Mother, wife, l
would not go far away from home II I
were you. II your husband and boys
and brothers have to work during the
summer to earn you livelihood 1t Is
not good to be separated from them.
It Is not good for you. 1t Is not good
for the husband and the boys. Mark
this, my friends, and what l say. l
speak calmly and deliberately: Nine
tenths of all the evil temptations Of
our summer resorts are directly or in
directly due to the separations Of fam
lilies. These separations lay tempta-
tons. awful temptations, at the feet OF
the men who are compelled to stay at
home and work. They lay temptations,
awful temptations, at the feet Of the
xr,ho off In, ar
tells. Go to summer resort near to
your home. Be in place where all
the members of the family can get to-
gethcr every few days. Never let your
husband learn the lesson how to be
happy without you and the children.
Wives and mothers. never learn your
selves the lesson how you can be hap
by without your husbands and the
children by your side. AS far as you
may be able, during the years Of your
earthly life. never be separated from
your loved ones for any length of time
until you are compelled to lay them
away for the last sleep in a new made
grave.
In closing | would speak to you
words of congratulation and good
cheer. Before we separate for the
summer months l would say, men and
women, congratulate you because you
have well earned your rest. / CON
graduate you because you have fin
ished n hard winters work. congratu-
late you that you are going out among
the trees and the flowers and the noun
tains and the valleys; that you are
going to drink out of the cool spring
and see the COWS gather for the even
ing milking. And | also congratulate
you that the same Christ whom you
worship here you can worship there.
Take along the Savour's companion
ship. Pray during the next few weeks
for divine protection and help. Then,
If you have Christ along, there will be
no fear that you will succumb to the
evil temptations which beset every one
during summer vacation.

AMERICAS CHURCHES.
A Plea For Fewer Organizations ana
Concentrated Effort.


Tolerance unites men in the closer
bonds Of human brotherhood, brings
them together In unity and sympathy
in essentials and gives them greater
liberality and freedom in nonesscntials.
Napoleon when first consul said: LET
there be no more Jacobins, nor Mod
crates. nor Royalsts. Let all he
Frenchmen." Sectonalism and sec.
tarianism always mean concentration
on the body Of part at the expense Of
the soul of the whole. The religious
world today needs more Christ and
less scots in its gospel. When Christ
lived on earth, Christianity was n unit;
when he died, sects began.
There are in America today hun
dreds Of small towns, scattered over
the face of the land, that are oversup-
piled With churches In many of these
towns, Just emerging from the short
dresses of villagehood, there are a doz-
en- or more weak churches struggling
to keep their organization alive. Bc-
tween these churches there is often
only a slight difference in creed. the
tissue paper wall Of some technicality
Of belief. Half starved dragging out
mere existence, trying to fight n
large mortgage with n small congrega-
ton and n small contribution box. there
Is little spiritual fervor. Ply comblna-
ton, by cooperation, by tolerance, by
the mutual surrender Of nonesscntials
and n strong, vital concentration and
unity on the great fundamental real
tiles of Christianity their spiritual
health and possibilities could be mar
velously increased.
Three or four sturdy, live, growing
churches would then take the place OF
dozen strugglcrs. Why have a dozen
weak bridges across stream II
greater good can come from three or
four stronger ones, or even a single
strongest bridge? The world needs a
great religious trust which will unite
the churches into single body of
faith to procede and prepare the way
for tho greater religious trust predict.

ABOUT RUNAWAY MATCHES
How the Fond Parents Are Forced
Into the Game, Willy Nil1y.


From the point Of view of competent
observers the distinctive feature of the
opponents of very young people,
which are so common in American life,
is that, paradoxically enough, the par
ents of the contracting parties have so
much to do with them.
They are not supposed to have any
thing to do in the premises, but a run
away match brings them face to face
Unexpectedly with series Of emotions
and experiences. A lad of nineteen or
twenty and girl Of seventeen mate Of
a sudden with as little consultation of
their parents wishes and as little pro-
vision or thought for the future as II
they were tenants Of hen yard in
stead of occupants of world which
for the best reasons has prescribed
certain way, time for doing things.
Having found n clergyman to unite
them, they go to n near by town or a
neighboring hotel and wait. They have
taken the irrevocnble step, but they
have no idea what to do next. There
is where the parents step in.
In Opponents it is the privilege Of
the American parent to forgive his son
or daughter, to welcome the runaway
couple back to his home. to give them
the freedom of the house, to install
them after little in fiat of their
own and defray tho rent of it, to find
the son-in-law n paying job and to in
struct the daughtcr-inlaw sufficiently
in the rudiments of housekeeping so
that she will know when the kettle
bols. Public opinion chcerfully sup
ports the parent in these little over
lures to his offspring and, indeed. OK
poets them as his duty. The runa-
ways accept them as their right.
All of which goes to show the COM
pletc and shameful abdication which
some American parents make to their
children. 1t is a wholesome doctrine
that young people shall suit themselves
in marrying and, at the last resort,
follow their own inclination and iudg-
ment. even when they run counter to
the parental preference. But the lead
ings of the doctrine do not justify
them in contracting clandcstine attach
..
Immediately when the objection of
their parents is merely that they are
too young and would better wait
awhile or in declaring a browning dis
respect to the father who begot and
the mother who bore them and making
q spectacle of them in the eyes of the
world by marrying without even ap-
prising them of their purpose or giving
them n chance to look over the young
person they are about to bring into the
family.
There is fine old commandment
which enjoins Honor thy father and
thy mother In n few ways could a
son or daughter more dishonor them
than by floutng or ignoring them al
the most significant and intimate mo-
ment that life holds. There is good
ground for all the bitterness that a
parent must feel at such juncture-
a bitterness rendered doubly acute by
the reflection that his own needless
trust and indulgent kindness had
brought about such a pass and that Il
was his own blood that had turned
away from him.-New York Mail an6

Leads her and guides her thro' night and

While she strcws with roses the road.

Hers is to follow, to watch, and to hear
