menced at once The entire avenue
for the five blocks will be hung with
arches, attached to the street car
poles and wires on each side, making
a complete arch over the street for the
entire distance. In addition to this a
canvass is to be made of the business
houses, to secure their cooperation in
the way of individual decorations. The
merchants will undoubtedly readily
give their assistance in the way of
decorating their individual places of
business, and from the present plan
Second avenue will present a most at

city has frequent need of extensive
decoration, and by the action of the
committee the material for this pur-

evening will be reported 70 the general
committee on arrangements by the
chairman. John w. Parker, and in the

umphed In the church. Go now after
eighteen hundred years to the grave where
His enemies imagine that they had buried
His influence and His power; 10! He
Is risen He is not there. He has gone
forth through the world, His power has
passed upon every nation. His cross Is
raised above thousands of affairs and
TODAY His followers counted by millions,
celebrate the glories of His triumph.
Such, my brethren, is the result OF
that descent of the Holy Ghost upon the
apostles, and while we behold in wonder
and awe its vastness superiority and
stability, is 1t not our first duty on n
festival like this to unite with the church
in giving glory to God for the great
things He has done In her favor and In
all humanity to thank Him that he has
condescended to visit His people.
Office of Holy Ghost.
1t is WELL however, to remember that
the office assumed by the Holy Ghost on
the day of Pentecost was not confined
to any time or circumstances but remains
for ever with the church. To doubt the
perpetuity of His office is to disbelieve
the ministration of the Spirit. To mag
inc that He is shorn of His prerogatives
and that His powers are suspended Is 10
return to the imperfect and transitory
5ispensation of the ages before the Spirit
of God descended among men or the son
of God was as yet incarnate In iac'
the Holy Ghost has been called and Is
the Perfector of all the operators OF the
most blessed Trinity. We see TINS IN
the creation. When the Father willed to
create II was by the Son that He made
the world. but ''the earth was void and
empty and darkness was upon the deep,
till the Spirit of God moved over the
waters to ORDER perfect, and give perpet-
uity to all things.
There is still another office of the Holy
Ghost more useful and gratifying mas
much as 1t is more personal to ourselves.
The Holy Spirit is not alone the Perfector
of Gods work in creation. He is more
over the Sanctifier of the human soul. 1t
is the teaching Of the Scripture and OF
| Holy church that the Spirit of God dwells
in the soul of the man who is In the state
of grace. Know you not" says the apos-
| tie. that your members are the temple
of the Holy Ghost who is in you, whom

CHINESE TRADE
INCREASES RAPIDLY
Report Given Out by the Gov

EXPORTS ARE GROWING

EXPORTS ARE GROWING

Washington, June ESPECIAL. Tho
trade of the United States with China
shows very rapid growth during the
past decade, especially in exports to that
country, though the imports from China
also show an increase. Total exports to
China in the calendar year 1896 were 3d.
7O3, 922 and in 1905 1854. 1893; the total i'm
ports from China were. in 1895, $21S42. $50,
and In 1905 $2S,113.Sl1. IN addition to the
exports direct there should be considered
those to Hongkong, a British colony on
the coast of China, which is, in fact,
a door through which large quantities of
merchandise enter that country. To Hong
kong the exports of the United States
grew from $4462,s56 in 1895 to s., OSOS25 in
1905, and the imports from Hongkong
grew from Sl,S93.92O in 1895 to s1,6S5o63 in
1905.
The largest growth in the exports to
China occurred in 1905, in which the total
value of merchandise exports to that
country was $5S,574,793, against $27 921 ,O33
In 1904 and s14,970.13S in 1908. This phe-
nomenal growth was due in part to the
fact that large contracts for American
cotton cloths were made In the latter
part of 1904 In the expectation that Nam
churia and other sections of northern
China would be open to commerce in
1905. Much of this section of northern
China, where American cotton cloths are
especially popular because of their suitable
ity to the climate of that temperate zone
region, had been within the war area,
and its stock of material of this char
acter were exhausted hence the large
contracts made in the latter part of 1904
for American cotton in China and the
large expectation of cotton goods to China
in the calendar year 1905, which amounted
TO $33,6fa,S1s, against S139i1, $50 in 1904 and
$SSO1 1854 III 1893. In addition to this I'M
usually largd expectation of cotton cloths
there was sent to China in 1905 81 IA. 267
worth of copper, against slS50,S52 in 1904
the large increase in exports of copper
being due to the 1demand of manufacture
into copper coins by the minis of the
various provincesl Thus the large in
crease occurred almost exclusively in cot
ton cloths and copper, the increase in the
former being about 20 million and in the
latter about 10 mil Non dollars.
Cotton deportation.
AS a result of this unusually large ex-
portation of eottons and copper to China
in 1905 the United States seems to have
supplied about 20 pet cent of the imports
into that country, Including In this our
exports to Hongkong, most of which en-
tered China. The detailed official report
of the commerce of China for 1905 has not
yet reached the bureau statistics of the
Department of Commerce and Labor, but
a cablegram received by II through the
State Department shows that the total
imports of China inN 1905 were 1876 million
dollars, of which 90 millions was direct
from the United StAtes and Il TO this
