Female Education in China.

Consul Haynes of Marking, writing about
female education in China, says; The vice
roy of the LANG Kiang provinces, Chou-fu,
one Of the most progressive of the higher
Chinese officials, has recently founded a
school for girls in Marking. 1t is supported
by subscriptions from a number of leading
Taotais of Marking, who have raised 81 296.
and the viceroy has subscribed 81 432 an
nually. The school is located in u quiet
place with spacious buildings. Six lady
teachers have been engaged, three to teach
English and three Chinese.
THE opening of this school is an impor-
tant event in Marking" says Consul
Haynes, las ii is really the birth of female
education in this ancient city, for as has
been remarked, in every new undertaking
for the advancement of China, unless the
Chinese themselves feel the need, and as
sumo the responsibility, II can be said to
have taken root in Chinese soil. The inter
est taken in this school by the leading Off
cials of Marking indicates the dawning of
freedom for China's girls and women. For
the last few years the missionary girl
schools have been doing good work, but
this is the first school established under
the patronage of the viceroy. China Is
awakening to realize that nation
strength and prosperity lie in the education
Of lIxr daughters.

WONG SINGS WORK.
Chinese Epworth Leagues in Los
Angeles, Cal.

Wong Sing, the newly elected president
of the Epworth League connected with the
Chinese Methodist mission in Los Angeles.
Cal, made a stirring address to his Chris
tanned countrymen and many American
visitors recently.
Wong Sing has just returned from China
where he spent two years, after having
been a resident of Los Angeles for many
years. During his visit to his native land
he established a school for native boys and
girls, at his own expense, and It Is now in
operation in the hands of Christianized ma
tive women
Rev. Chan Kiu Sing pastor of the mis-
sion; Walter II. Fisher, who organized it,
and Clinton A Bradley, first general super
intendent of the league, also made adj
dresses.
the mission. made a report showing that
$50 different Chinese men have been pupils
of the night school since II was established
ten years ago. Six members of the school
have gone to Arizona where they now have O
iourishing mission among their own coun-
trymen, and within the past year SIX have
returned to China for like purpose. One
of these, La Hung Foo had been a resi-
dent of Los Angeles for forty-nine years
but will not return TO America again.
Wing Ark another of the band, had resided
here twenty-one years.
The secretary of the league is Tom Chung
a bright Chinese boy, who has been a pupil
in the school for eight years, and speaks
excellent English His weekly reports are
interesting features of the services. The
fuency with which many of the Chinese
spoke the English language was d great
surprise to the visitors.

put thuS strongly before these learned men,
was well calculated TO silence their cavils
and to prepare for what was TO follow.
EVIDENCE (Verses 1O-tI) In this
whole transaction Jesus was evidently work.
Ing toward an important end. one which
might have been specially desirable at that
period of his ministry. lie wished 10 be
snown IN his true nature and mission
Many thought of him merely as a WONDER
tul teacher. tJohn iii:2) Hence he sought
to convert this incident into evidence of his
deity. The logic of the case had already
been stated In his question to the scribes
God only forgives sins. He had wrought
miracles. and that entitled him To forgive
sins. Therefore he was not a blasphemer
put Divire person But that they might
know this and that the last doubt might
be removed from their minds, lie deter
mined to give immediate proof Arise and
go thy way, was His authoritative word
to the paralytc. Bold and blaspremous lam

And yet lest the opinion of those present

called Himself the Son OF man.
RESULT. (Ferse 12) On that COM
mand hung the future both of Jesus and
the paralytic. If no cure is wrought the
one Is a pretender and the other is doomed
10 helplessness for life But IL the word Is
obeyed the Savior and Teacher passes into
history as Lord, and man is restored to
health and usefulness. Amidst profound
silence, while many witnesses oeheld, the
man arose, took up his bed and walked
away. He had heard the voice of the
Mighty One-he had been forgiven. healed,
soul and body in moment made anew.
There were none to criticise or doubt. An
peculiar demonstration had removed all
ground for debate. All were amazed. and
all had wisdom to see that God was in the
deed in some way. They therefore glori6ed
God-praised Him and reioiced. And the
company dispersed with thorough convic-
ton and unbounded enthusiasm. They de-
cared that they had never seen anything
like this.
CONCLUSION. What shall we say to
this incident? There are but two thighs
that may be said. First. that the miracle
was never wrought Some have
serted. sweeping away all the miraculous
from the gospel history. Then must we re-
ject the books worthless. This record
is so circumstantial, made with such evil
dent sincerity, that to ascribe Ii to the fab
ulous is to prove the writers unworthy OF
any confidence To do that is to reject the
whole system of Christianity, a result for
which few prepared. Second, that the
passage is to be taken as reliable history.
Then we are forced to place Jesus upon the
throne. We must take Him at his own
word. He entered first into the spiritual
and afterward into the physical and did
what only God could do. lie was therefore
God in human flesh. John. i:1+D As such
He Is worthy to receive the love. reverence
and service of men.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

Any person may send to DR. Gilbert, 1903
r street, this city, any biblical question,
and receive an answer through The Star.
6s. what is the proper pronunciation or
Philemon?
Answer. Most scholars make three sylla7
bIes, lie being the second. with the
cent, although some prefer TO make tho
second syllable of the letter ''e' only. with
accent on the first. The name Is applied TO
one of PaulS epiStleS, which was addressed
to a member of the church at COlosse. The
word is derived from the Greek phlema, a
kiss. denoting affection. Hence, the pro-
nunciation.
"a. Why should demon desire 70 pos
sess man?
Answer. For three reasons: ]. Being evil.
he delights to make other beings evil. 1t
is the nature of all spirits to attempt to
make others like themselves, for obvious
reasons. =. Alienated from God. a demon
seeks to set up a kingdom opposed TO God.
and therefore TO bring men into that king
dom (Eph., ii:2), as against the heavenly
kingdom. 3 Without doubt an evil spirit
shTnks from direct contact With pure
beings in The spiritual world, because such
contact would be torment Matt, viii:2oD
Hence, to get into human body and be-
come carnal or tieshly (Rom., yiil:7) Is the
easiest way out of the spiritual realm.
6J. What evidence is there that there are
spirits not incarnated.
answer MANY tpIiNliitiiB pEoo4S' lup
many TO be given. A few must suffice. I.
The fact is plainly assumed I'm Scripture.
which must be rejected II the fact is de-
MED. 2. All peoples, of all religions have
believed in spirits. In every nation and
century this belief has had profound in
f1uence upon men. 1t has found expression
in language, literature and civilization.
What is so widely believed must be
founded in truth. 3. If there is a realm
behind the natural-namely the supernet-
ural and all philosophy and science point
TO such a reaim-then there must be beings
in that realm.

INDIA'S DEITIES.
Many Names Given for the Same
Idealisms.

From the London Lady.
OF the countless attractions India offers
none are greater than her rich stores OF
myth and tradition. Oriental scholars have
unfolded for us that Hindu religion in a
dim and shadowy past contented itself with
generating some of natures more impress
sive phenomena. Space, the starry firma-
ment and the light of day-under the poetic
names OF Arditi, Varuna and Mitra-pro-
vided the sacred triad OF this archaic wor-
ship; but with the march of centuries there
came an added roll OF deities, of which
Brahma himself was chief. According TO
some writers, his two brothers, Fishnu and
SILVA. were equally powerful, the former
az preserver of Brahmas creations. the lat
ter as destroyer Vishnu is famous for his
countless metamorphoses and appears In
the sacred books under no fewer than loo
different names. He remains the most pop
ular deity among the Hindus, who believe
his final metamorphosis-tha of a horse
is vet TO come. While awaiting this last
change he is thought 10 be resting in a
sea OF milk with serpent for his pillow.
The River Ganges is supposed to issue from
his right foot
The god SILVA also figures in Hindu my
thology under ! 600 different names, and is
invariably represented in some repellant
form. Idols show him at one time with
five faces, at another with three eyes, while
a third will represent him with necklace
Of skulls, thick, matted hair and a horn
projecting from one of his temples. The
great rock-cut temple of the Island of Ele-
plants is sacred to this god Around the
raid god Indra have gathered countless
traditions, among which are those of his
constant conflicts with his thunderbolt.
Vajra; Vaya, the wind god; Shushna. the
parcher, and Ali, the confiner The aim or
this last-named god is to conflne and dry
up the rivers and seas. Much homage is
paid to Indra by the other gods, according
to the Rig-Vedas, he being head of the
heaven of the gods. He appears to have
drunk freely of Soma, the nectar of the
Hindu deities. Any ideal light that the
sacred writings would wish him TO be

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR NOTES.

The Endeavorers of the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church held their monthly
missionary meeting last Sunday evening and
listened to an interesting talk by A s. Os-
good. formerly a commercial traveller In the
orient Mr.. Osgood spoke especially of the
work being done by Christian missionaries
in China, and deplored the fact that this
was largely neutralized by a certain class
of American merchants, such as liquor deal
ers. who gave to the Chinese an unfortunate
impression of the American people.
The Christian Endeavor Society of Keller
Memorial Lutheran Church held its regular
business meeting Friday evening of last
week. Archibald Cummings elected
vice president. A valentine party followed
the unique decorations for which were ar
ranged by Mrs. w. w. Keck. Mr.. Bucking-
ham gave a program of numerous graphic
phone selections. which were interspersed
with songs by Mrs. G.. l.. Beehler and little
Ethel Lusby and a recitation by Roberta
Neurath, after which q valentine box was
opened The box, a very ornate and capa-
cious reproduction of one of Uncle Sans
mail boxes. was the work of DIR. II. H.
Settler. At the close of the evening refresh
mentS were served.
A creditabe rendering of The Praise of
the Nations" was given last Sunday night
before a large audience by the Lincoln Con-
gregational choir, under the auspices of the
Christian Endeavor Society of that church.
DIR. Waiter X. Franklin directed the music
and Miss Mary Europe played the piano &C
compartments. The program was the same,
with slight changes, as that given in Balti-
more last summer and recently at Conven-
ton Hall.

And breeze that softly passes

Where the brighter sun is beaining
And the yellowed grass is cleaning
Calling me.
Where the brant its flight is wirglDg
And the lark is ever singing
To its kind:
Today / would be going
Where the fieur de liz IS glowing
Aud the wire-gras is blowing
In the wind.
Fair and far the Sierra ranges
Bathed In sunshine's azure changes
Golden rays;
Today my thoughts are yopder
Where In years agone I'd wander.
And the memory e'er grows fonder-

the leadership of Mrs. Fouts. 1t meets for
fifteen minutes before the regular prayer
service every Thursday evening, and the

as the limited time permits. In this way
whole chapters are committed in two or
three lessons. There are about twenty-five
regular attendants who recite, and a great
