Clergyman Says China Can Never Repay
Her Debt to John Hay

tribute TO John Hay paid last night
by the Rev. Frederick Schofield during the
patriotic services held In the Peoples Methodist
Episcopal Church. East 61st-st. near 2d-ave.
Mr. Scho1eld spoke about Mr.. Hay at the be-
ginning of his sermon "On the Great Republic"
He said:
In this hour of the celebration of the Declara-
ton of Independence there is much sadness in
1t, owing to the death of Mr.. Hay We had
ali hoped for his recovery The newspaper re-
ports regarding his condition were most favor
able but after the midnight hour the angel of
death came and he passed away. The Ameri-
can people looked him a great man. and
his death has been sad blow TO them. Eng
land and China, by the many cablegrams sent
to this country, clearly show how high he was
held in esteem by those countries alone. China
owes him a debt that she can never pay. He
certainly be said to have been great man.

and looked in at the door of the kitchen

wanted into kindlings for his fire. But he
and the giant were great friends and he
handed over this stick without mo-

that he would find another around some
where for himself; and the giant took 1t
and went back into his room with 1t,
where he had been sitting talking to the

gets a basket and broom and comes in,
and sweeps up all those chips and shay

daily bread. The slightest allusion to the
commercial world would be considered the
deepest discourtesy.
In this country we look upon work
somewhat differently. There Is the same
commendabe aversion to talking shop"
at least this feeling is growing, but it Is
not because we are ashamed of working
for our living. The story is told of a
young Englishman who knew some men
in Pittsburg, the busiest spot on this con-
tnent and decided to put up at a club in
that city for a few weeks. He left town
after two days, saying: There's no fun
to be had here. All my friends work in
daytime and l can't get anyone to play
with me-" We like work we are proud of
it, and we recognize that 1t is one of God s
