Sunday Schools.


The Sunday school department con-
of the times and the imperial demands
of the kingdom of Christ. The re-
markable success achieved is its own
careful consideration.
Later improvements were made on jan
uary 1 in the subject-matter, arrange
ment and makeup of the Sunday school
literature bringing 1t squarely to the
forefront of all such publications In the
world.
The Misunderstanding work has been sue
cessful in a considerable degree Ten
thousand teachers have peen enrolled in
the study circles. numerous classes have
been formed In the schools themselves
among the young people, for the study of
the same course as a weekly lesson, and
about 10000 volumns of the three books
constituting the course have been sold.
This work has been supplemented by
large number of Sunday school institutes,
looking to a more complete organization
of the schools themselves, and to a bet
ter order of work within them. as well as
to the stirring up Of a more general pop
ular interest.

YOUNG Peoples Department.

There is no phase Of educational mis-
sionary work more far-reaching in its re-
suits than that among the young people.
A helpful series of handbooks and PAM
phlets have been prepared, and are in cir
culation among our Epworth leagues.
These have so stimulated systematic study
that whereas three years ago there were
only forty-two classes organized, and 4G9
members enrolled, we now have over 300
classes and more than 1000 young men and
women engaged in the regular study of
missions. This will constitute a great
reserve corps for reinforcing our mis-
sionary work.

LOCAL FTtdCHCTSs ~
We also call to your serious attention
the ominous and rapid decline in the
number of local preachers. Whatever
the cause or causes. this once potential
ally of the pastorate is decreasing every
dav. In the early days of American
Methodism local preachers were the right
arm of the itinerant ministry, and with
out doubt made the marvellous triumphs
of the church glorious possibility. 1t
may be that the policy of subdividins cir
cults and multiplying stations, each under
the care of pastor is largely respon-
sible for this decline.
Ten years ago our general minutes
reported 6724 local PREACHERS: today we
have only ais. decrease of 2ooe- wheth-

About 10000 bales Of cotton Is this

LEAGUE WOULD BAR
YELLOW PUPILS.
Proposes to Exclude All
Mongolian Children
From Public Schools
HEATED SPEECHES

The japanese and Korean Exclusion
League yesterday decided to begin an
active campaign to exclude future ap-
plicants Of Mongolian birth from the
San Francisco schools and to have the
present Mongolian pupils separated
from the American classes. The ques-
tion will be taken up with the School
Department and the change vigorously
urged.
"It Is a shame" said F. c. MCGOWAN.
former State Senator who addressed
the meeting OF the league yesterday.
that our children are compelled to sit
side by side with the children OF Mon
golians who are physically diseased
and morally rotten The people should
get together and demand OF the men
whom they propose sending to Con-
gress a promise TO vote for the ex-
olusion OF all Mongolian labor. The
Chinese exclusion act. which your or
gaDization fathered. should be extended
10 include all classes OF Japanese and
Korean emigrants.''
The executive committee Of the
league, In its report to the members.
announced that 1t now represented 217
different organizations. labor. fraternal
and military, eighteen Of which had
been taken in during the last month
A report was also made that the In
ternationaI Typographical Union. In
its recent convention, had passed strong
resolutions urging Congress to take
steps toward a Japanese and Korean
exclusion law, and that the teamsterS
in their convention had done likewise.
A great many of the league members
spoke strongly OF their objection to
having their children sit by the side OF
Mongolians. and urged that measures
be taken TO exclude Mongolian children
from the schools. The executive COM
mittee was finally instructed TO begin
vigorous agitation
The league expected to hold a mass
meeting yesterday. In which the mem
bers would appeal to their Congress
men to vote for an extension OF the
exclusion laws. Congressman e. A.
Hayes Of the Fifth District arrived
after the meeting had adjourned. Con-
gresham Julius Kahn sent a message
of regret to the league, saying that he
was i'll and therefore unable to attend.
The league will hold the mass meet
ing at Howard and Twenty-frst
streets on Sunday, September 8, when
f. Is expected that the two Congress
men win attend.
