DIR. ALLEN AT NIGHT.
Large Congregation at Dexter Avenue
 Church.


 The congregation to hear Dr. Young l. Allen, the distinguished Methodist missionary to China, at the evening ser- vice at the Dexter Avenue Methodist Church, filled the house of worship last night.
 Dr. Aliens sermon was a continua- ton of his theme of the morning. when he spoke at the Court Street Methodist Church, with the exception that he em- phasized the work of the missionaries, dwelling especially upon the fact that foreign mission work is not work of charity, but rather 1t means taking the Gospel to a foreign country and inter- preting it to a people without God, and, therefore, without hope.
 Dr. Allen drew comparisons between the conditions existing in China, when he went there in 1860, and as they are at present. He told of his first voy- age to China, describing the seven months trip with it's discomforts and troubles, and in contrast he told of the luxury of the twenty days trip In re- turning to this country a few weeks since.
 He spoke especially of what the mis- sionaries had accomplished for China, and of the means by which they had done the work. He said the old sys- them of schools had been substituted | by a new one as broad in its educa- | tional advantages as the old one was narrow and, it all came through the work of missionaries, and the greatest I factor toward accomplishing this end was through the medium of books. | They are now making an effort to establish a publishing house in China which will be tremendous power for good. as the missionaries have found that books are the greatest and best avenues through which to reach the people; that through this medium the influence of one man can be SO greatly multiplied. He sr@ke of his own books and his labor in translating and pre- pairing them; of the wonderful infiu- ence for good they had exerted in the work.

It is not astonishing that patriotic
Kansas should be disposed to draw
conf parisons between the attorney gen
eral Of their state and Herbert Hadley,
the attorney general of Missouri The
contrast between the splendid results
achieved by Hadley in bringing the
Standard OIL corporation to the con
fessiona1, and the abandonment OF the
fight against the Rockefeller monop-
oily by Attorney General Coleman, Is
not one to excite pride in the Kansas
heart. There may be just a grain of
consolation In the fact that Hadley is
a Kansas man, and It may not be too
much to hope that a state capable OF
producing a man of his stamp may
have in reserve other material OF the
same sort. But will It be brought
out and utilized If Kansas again falls
into the hands Of the old corporation
crowd that is laying plans to control
the next administration in that state ?
