had rapid growth.

notes of the work of Medical Missions

Health is one of the last things
thought of by the Chinese and one

Their hornes are most insanitary and
their system of medicine is of the
crudest kind. Because of the seclu-

male physicians were not allowed to
attend to them. The first lady physi-
clan was DR.. Coombs, who was sent
out by the Methodists in 1873. By her
endeavors and through the assistance

the first schools for Chinese girls, the
first attempts in that line being made
in 1886. Since 1870 girls schools have
multiplied rapidly. The most inpor-

the personal contact in the homes.
Mothers meetings form an impor-

MISSIONARY WORK IN
The OLD CHINESE EMPIRE
interesting Meeting Yesterday of the Women's
Board at the Central Union Church.
Papers on Phases of Mission Labor.

| The Women's Board held their regu.
lar monthly meeting at Central Unior
| Church yesterday afternoon. Mrs
Scudder was in the chair and told OF
| visiting a high official while in the
| Orient. She had to take off her shoes
at the door and go forward across the
room or her knees. She also told what
| had been done by her husband and
herself while in the United States. On
| the return trip from San Francisco a
| missionary with much experience in
China predicted that should Japan win
| in this war an alliance would be form
| which would result in the opening up
of China
Two collections were taken, the reg
uiar monthly one and the annual col
lection for the Pundita Ramabai Assoc
citation, which works for the welfare
of the child widows of India.
The secretary read the minutes of
the last meeting and the correspond
ing secretary read two letters which
had been received, and comment was
made thereon. Mrs. Damon was not
present to report on the work among
the Chinese.
Mrs Soares gave a very encouraging
report among the Portuguese. The
work is progressing especially we'll on
Maui.
Mrs. Wilmington spoke about the
work the Cleaners have, been doing,
and said she intended working up the
enthusiasm of some of the old mem
bers, who had not attended lately.
Mrs. Whitney announced that Miss
Chamberlain was now well enough to
see people and would like to have her
friends call.
Mrs. Frear gave a general outline of
what the papers for the day were to
be. They We're to be on the second
period of Christian work in China,
from 1850 to 1890.
Mrs. weinrick read the first paper,
showing how the different wars and
treaties had opened up China to out
siders. so that since 1890 England,
France and the United States had large
influence there and missionary endeav-
or was prospecting.
Until the Portuguese opened CONNER

BOOST, DON'T KNOCK.

The way to build up a town is
boost, not knock. In small
towns one of the hardest things
to keep down is the petty dis
position to find fault and criti-
else. We all have our troubles
and at times every human being
is more or less cranky. It's
mighty hard work sometimes not
to kick over the traces. that's
human nature, the same today as
when they crucified the meek
and lowly Nazarine. One thing,
however, that will harm no per-
son, great or small, to use as a
text. We all have our faults;
we all go wrong at times, no one
is immune from the frailties of
the flesh, but we are here and
the best way to get along is to
be charitable and cut out the
stings and do the sunshiny
things instead of the cloudy ones.
7" A house divided against itself
cannot stand" Let every citiz-
en- try to do all he can. Your
property will be worth more
money, the outside world will
think more of you and a comfort
will come into your lives that
will be beautiful to experience.

The Congregationalists in gen.

in particular, are TO be congratu-
lated on the completion of the
Kingsbury Co n greg ational
church and the Wilcox school at
Vernal, Utah. Both are built
of brick and cost Sc, 900 and all
paid for. In very large measure,
the building of the church and
school, which are quite preten-
tious structures, is due. to the
efforts of Mr.. Nickerson, the pas
tor of the Congregational church
at Vernal. The edifices were
dedicated Oct. %. A fine pro-
gram was given on the occasion,
and at the conclusion of the SER
vices the congregation repeated
the following:
I'VE dedicate the Wilcox
school to the service of sound
learning in the knowledge of
science and literature and art
and philosophy and virtue and
religion-to the culture of all
that brings purity to the home,
integrity to citizenship, JOY to
social life and loyalty to private
and public duty"
The principal of the school is
Miss Sarah E. Gurnsey, and the
teachers are Mrs. Ethel Chance

1t is as moral force that the
thoroughly honest newspaper
and its utterances are most pow
erful and in measure a neces-
sary part of our lives. A dis
tinguished member of congress
a year ago said that if it were
not for the newspapers the jobs
which would go through con-
gress are terrible to contemplate,
and added that if there were no
newspapers he would be afraid
to trust himself alone in the
House of Representatives for
fifteen minutes. The mere fact
of publicity is, of course, a great
detriment of evil, but followed
up editorially great public SEN
timent is aroused which finds
expression at polling places, and
defeat of men who indulge in
shady transactions. 1t is beyond
question that the fear of expos
ure from an independent press
is one of the safeguards of our
government. A land without
free and independent press
would be land of ignorance, or
tyranny, and of degradation.
AS long as the press is free,
fearless and incorruptible, free
dom is assured. While we have
newspapers in whose columns
will be found exposures of fraud
and corruption and criticism of
public servants, that long will
we have free government and
free people. A handcuffed press
would be greater menace to
liberty than any tyrant. AS

lie, as conservators of the honor
and dignity and welfare of the
