FAREWELL TO MISSIONARIES
Impressive Service for Young Women
Returning to China

A service of farewell was held at the
Pico Heights Congregational church
last evening for the Misses Abbie and
May Chaplin, who are soon to take up
active missionary work in China.
These young women look upon their
departure as more of a home going, as
they were born in China, where their
parents were prominent missionaries.
The service last evening was con-
Quoted by Dwight Chaplin, a brother
and a student of Princeton Theological
seminary, who is also to go to the for
eign- field at the completion of his
studies.
Mrs. e. M. Findlay of the Chinese
mission of Los Angeles made short
address. Messrs Quon Sue and Young
Suey of the mission rendered vocal
duet.
Mr.. Chaplin took his text from the
Epistle to the Romans and dwelt at
length upon the missionary spirit. He
said in part:
"Many people reject Jesus Christ to-
and easy. Mems pride often keeps
them from accepting Jesus. In less
than three centuries after Pauls writ
ing Pagan gave place to Christian
Rome and thousands have given their
lives as martyrs to Jesus Christ. The
gospel is essentially a gospel of saliva
ton and for that purpose Christ died
on the cross.

But the question is, is it universal and
is it adapted to all classes. Such
doubts belittle the cross of Christ
'Whosoever shall call on the name Of
the Lord shall be saved The gospel
today has been preached to every ma
ton on the globe and millions of ma
tives of foreign lands converted.

perors. Were those who accepted
Christ at the peril of their lives, really
the great Boxer rebellion when 10000
native converts laid down their lives
rather than burn a stick of incense.
Had we rather not ask ourselves IL we
are converted Could the church at
home stand such test? We, as the
church of Christ. are ashamed of the
gospel If we do not give 1t to the world.
1--WE know that in the teeming mil
lions in China alone, 1000 die every hour
without the gospel. Shall we, the
church of Jesus Christ. neglect to give
the world the gospel. just because we
are trusted with the sacred trust. Shall
we betray it?"
Following the address of Mr.. Chaplin
the Misses Chaplin made short ad-
dresses, in which they stated their
great interest in the work to which
they are consecrating the remainder Of
their lives.

TELLS YOUNG MEN TO ARISE
Rev. 3. P. Lee Urges Necessity for
Leading Youths Alright

"Young Man, 1 Say Unto Thee,
Arise" was the topic of Rev. Baker P.
Lee, yesterday morning at Christ
Protestant Episcopal church. He took
his text from Luke TIA. and dwelt at
length upon the mission of the young
man in the world of today and of his
assistance to the pastor in bringing
young men under the influence Of the
church. He said in part:
'Who will ever forget Gettysburg and
who does not remember the grand New
England, where the peace ENJOYS are
now? But we go back yonder to a lit
tie village. Galilee. which outlives all
others. There will come a time when
the story will ring around the world.
1T thank God for the privilege Of min
istering to the people and for our dear
old church. Whether in India or in the
islands of the sea, the palace of the
king or the lowly household, our
blessed old church makes us feel God Is
no respecter of persons.
"Here in this passage we see the
popular young man being carried to the
grave outside the city. He was the
only breadwinner of his widowed
mother. He was also a poet and an
artist. Jesus remembered Mary. his
mother. who was also a widow and
knew that that mother would have her

woman, consoling her. There was no

FUTURE SUNDAYSCHOOL WORK
Plans Far Ahead From the Interna-
tionaI Convention

LtOndI SOHVCHttOH
Yesterday morning at the First Con-
gregational church the pastor, William
Horace Day, preached, having just re-
turned from his vacation. His text
was from Genesis ,"As they journeyed
east" OF the summer experiences he
chose the International Sunday School
convention as the most important. Af-
ter paying a tribute to the city of Tor
onto Mr.. Day said in part:
I'VE of Los Angeles were asked to
20 to the convention to invite 1t to
meet here in 1908. We found a number
of cities Just as anxious as were we to
have the honor. All the coast cities
agreed to arbitrate the matter and
present but one invitation. San Fran
cisco was decided upon and we worked
hard for that coast CITY, The invita-
tion of Louisville was finally accepted.
/ think the appeal of the negro prob
lem of the south turned the scale but
the invitation is destined to bear fruit
and I shall be disappointed If the con-
vention of 1911 does not come to the
coast.
'In two particulars the convention
registered important progress. The
seven year cycle of lessons beginning
with 1906 shows improvement. With
one exception each year will have les
sons continuing through the entire
twelve months upon a single subject.
Instead of jumping about from one
part of the Bible to another every
quarter, there will be greater unity.
Next year the Life of Christ as told in
the Synoptics will occupy all the time.
In 1907 the old testament study will
extend from the patriarchs to Samuel.
IT came home feeling that among the
most important duties every Christian
owes his church is to put his culture
at the service of the work of Bible
training. I hope in this church may
build upon the splendid work of the
past years and make our Bible school
the most successful of all our depart
ments."

What shall we do with the children?
Sunday morning and church time
finds this question on the lips of hun
dreds Of mothers all over the land and
members of the First Congregational
church declare they have an answer
for 1t.
For the little tots who are too small
to spend the long hours in church
they have provided kindergarten

look on the faces of the youngsters
who can be seen in the kindergarten
room between IL o'clock and 1880
o'clock is evidence enough to prove
the success of the experiment.
All the children want to go to church
now and "mommer" is dragged there
by two or three anxious little ones.
The kindergarten church is held In
the primary room, which is furnished
with piano, small chairs, tables and
all conveniences for kindergarten
work. The services are conducted on
q regular kindergarten plan. The
children are always doing something
new and consequently never weary of
the lessons.
Songs and simple prayer verses form
the devotional exercises and there is
always a Bible story told in the most
understandable way.
A beautiful feature of the kindergar-
ten church is the children's process
sional, when the little ones are taken
into the church to join in the singing
of the children's hymn and in repeat
ing the Lords prayer. In the front of
the church special place is reserved
for them and after the exercise they
march back to their own room.
Surprisingly beautiful handwork, in
the shape of text cards, Is done by the
little tots, under the direction of Mrs
Frances r. DeCamp, who has entire
charge Of the service. Mr.. DeCamp
is teacher in the public kindergarten
schools and to her untiring zeal and
ingenuity is due the success Of this
new branch of church work.

MEMORY AND FORGETFULNESS
Sermon on the Two by Rev. G. {.
Foster Yesterday Morning

"There is only one sin that keeps
souls out of heaven, and that is the re-
lection of Christ. The holy spirit is
continuously striving at the hearts
door and the way Of acceptance is as
easy as an omnipotent God in his In
finite wisdom could plan it."
These sentiments were uttered by
Rev. G. e. Foster, pastor of the New
man Methodist church, yesterday morn
ing in his sermon on "a Walk Through
the Halls of Memory" He said in part:
"The things we remember that delight
our lives are the old home, father,
mother and the playmates of childhood.
1.-THE things that haunt our memories,
that bring sadness and gloom, are the
first funeral at the old home, the first
memory Of death and the first deepened
thought of the hereafter. We will al
ways remember the sick bed of father
and mother and hours when loved ones
slipped away and earth seemed lonely
and dismal. Our life seemed a wreck
and we wondered why we had been
called to live.
"The things we should remember, but
perchance have not thought Of, are
that existence is better than non-exist-
ence and something is better than moth
ing. Our very creation was out Of
Gods love. After creation we were still
cared for by love and not Justice. If
we had only what we earned of God
by work for him, the very breath we
breathe would not be given.
There are things even the Christian
forgets. Sometimes he forgets how
God painted out the sin spots on the
canvas of his life as the painting was
retouched by the hand of Christ when
the past sins were forgiven and his
scroll made pure by the blood Of the
Lamb.
I'VE forget our promise to God 20
repent of the ways of the past and the
pledges given him. We also forget
vows made at the altar and our pledges
to fellow men Of fidelity to the cross Of
Christ. We forget the needs of others

that we should warn them of hell 10

Decrepit State Law
Attorneys say the state law is the
only law. Well, assuming this state
law is constitutional, and do not think
1t is, we have to abide by 1t until a case
is carried to the supreme court and a
decision rendered. This law was writ
ten by the automobiles and has many
loopholes, but there are some clauses in
it that can be enforced and I think the
police should Immediately get to work.
This law says the automobiles must
slow down at street crossings. DO they
do it? Not much, these speed maniacs'
never think Of 1t. Why, it is a wonder
some one is not killed at every crossing
south of Washington street on Main
every day. The law says these fellows
shall slow down to five miles an hour
when crossing Washington street. They
take this busy crossing just as fast as
their powerful engines can drive their
cars and trust to the other fellow to
get out of the way.
"There are buildings on all four cor

see either way on washington, yet they
tear down Main street at from thirty to
forty-five miles an hour.
"Some day a line of teams will sud
denly appear around this corner, or
maybe another speed maniac,' and 1t
will be too late for the one on Main
street and there will be an appalling
tragedy which will shock the city.
Then perhaps the police will act. but
the people do not want such thing to
occur. They want protection. they de-
mand 1t and II / am any judge they
will know the reason why If the officials

p!e-Hearing on Two Cent Bill.
Madison April Z

Mad1SOn, April {.
That the railroads lose vast sums OF
money on the passenger traffic ana
make it up in freight charges was the
most important material presented by
Attorney Lyndes of the Northwestern
at the hearing on the two-ccnt passen'
ger bill before the senate committee
on railroads yesterday afternoon. He
argued that the Northwestern road
alone, on it's passenger traffic in the
state of Wisconsin, operated at an aD-
solute loss of from 100000 to $500, 900.
He said that the average rate of charge
for passenger traffic was considerably
less than three cents a mile, but that
much was at two cents and large
amount was at less than two cents, the
latter class including the large low
rate excursions. These he said Were
profitable to the roads and were de-
manded by the public. When he made
the declaration that the Northwestern
loses such large sum annually on the
wisconsin passenger traffic. Senator
Frear asked him how the road cOulo
afford to do it-"Who stands the loss?"
He wanted to know ii this grt at loss
was not made up by the road by
charging freight rates sufficiently high
to return a large profit. The attorney
admitted that it amounted to that, say,
ing he supposed all the earnings from
all sources and kinds of traffic were
put together in pot and considered
together, rather than making it appear
that the freight charges were used to
make up losses on passenger traffic.
