Surveyor Tells of Experience He Does
Not Care to Repeat.

To walk right up to, a monster bear
and try to shove it out of the way and
then escape without so much as a

Engelbright, has just returned from

a snort that made his hair rise and
caused him to beat a hasty retreat
The big brute looked around and then
shutt1ed off into the woods. 1t was
either asleep or else, SO busy eating
ants from an old log, that it failed to
hear the young surveyor, whose foot
steps were deadened by the thick car
pet of pine needlRs. Later it was
learned that the same bear, monster
cinnamon, had killed dog earlier in
the day. The dog ventured too, close

evicted from her old home.
When her husband died her father
in.law gave her permission to live in

Maqnlfxino Choir Leaders Voice.

In the old village of Braybrook IN
NorthamptOnshfre, England, is a mon
ster trumpet, five six inches In length,
and having a bell-shaped end two feet
one inch in diameter. The trumpet Is
made UP of ten rings, which I'm turn
are made up of smaller parts. The
use of this trumpet-only four of the
kind are known to exist at the present
day-was to magnify the voice of the
leader in the choir and summon the
people to the church service. At the
present time neither the choir nor
the service is in need of this extraor-
binary musical instrument" but the
vicar of the church takes care of the
ancient relic and is fond Of showing it
to all visitors.

The Church in Cathedral.
Still other extraordinary honors
were conferred upon the Winns-for
Mrs. Winn is as popular as her hus-
band with the Japanese, and herself a
resourceful, tireless missionary. While
the American consul was utterly un.
able to secure home, one was pro.
vided, rent free, for the Winns by the
government. Even more noteworthy
was the fact that the Russian cathed-
raj was turned over to this infant
Japanese church for it's meetings.
The Japanese Christians talked in
the newspapers so much about this
remarkable concession that the au-
thorities were, after a time, obliged
to withdraw it; but not until it had
been found by the congregation that
in location and construction the
cathedral was unsuited to their pur-
poses. A new building was furnished
by the government and this is now in
use, pending the erection of church.
In this building two Sunday serv-
ices are held. The congregations
vary because of the shifting nature of
the population. The army men who
were responsible for the establish
ment of the church have all gone,
and the new organization might have
lapsed had it not been for the pres.
ence of the Wins. Some of the
leading meh Of Dalny were present

ice and in the evening there were

afternoon Mr.. Winn had Bible class

with students and civilians, and Mrs.
Winn one with policemen.
Except for the missionary's salary,
the church is quite self-supporting. 1t
is more aggressive than many long
established congregations in Chris
tian lands, for it maintains, with no
outside aid, a hospital and CONNER
cial school for young men; with, ma
turally, religious features attached to
both. The varied labors of Mr.. and
Mrs. Winn include writing frequent
articles of timely, practical sort for
the Dalny daily newspaper!
A New War on Liaotune Peninsula.

Element.
The signs of ruin and defeat on
every hand are depressing. Some Of
the finer buildings were burned by
the Russian forces before they evacu-
ated, and no attempt has been made
to tear down or reconstruct these.
Others are in sad disrepair, simply
hecause the Japanese, who are camp
ing in them, do not know the use Of
the buildings, which are so unlike
their own. The windows are curtain
less and shutterless. Bricks are fall
ing and decomposing. The very
metal storks that stand guard on the
caves of the houses are tumbling un-
needed to the ground. The dwellings
are going to ruin and their occupants
are uncomfortable; thus nobody is
satisfied. So numerous, however, is
the Japanese population that it is i'm
possible to rent house; the Ameri-
can consul asked to be transferred be-
cause he could not get a home for
his family.
Good order is preserved In this
strange city. The Japanese are en-
tirely masters of the situation. There
are no Russians, /and more Chinese
than Japanese. The former are the
coolies, the jinrickisha men, the
drivers of the low Russian carriages,

Soon after the war was over--in-
deed, before the Portsmouth treaty
had been signed-the Japanese Chris
tians in Dalny began to get together.
Their leader was the man in charge
of the entire commissary department
of the army. The same energy and
efficiency displayed in keeping the
widely-separated host. of soldiers fed
has always characterized this mans
religious activities. When he had or
ganized the Christians, who were
mostly army officers, into church,
the question of securing. a pastor
arose. .
Thereupon unique distinction was
conferred upon one Of the veteran
missionaries of Japan, Rev. 7. G.
Winn, Presbyterian OF, Osaka. Mr..
Winn had always been engaged in
pioneer work, Before going to Osaka
he had been the FIRST missionary at
.Kanazawa, on the east coast, and

many times he had been mobbed.
Once he found a mob, armed with
knives, stones and sharpened bamboo
poles (Which make the wickedest of
spears) waiting outside his meeting
and even tearing down the walls to
get at him. He calmly went out
faced them for a moment, and then
walked through them, and a way
opened for. him. But they followed
with increased imprecations. Once
they closed around him, and again he
turned and faced them.
A little further on, as the crowd
grew more and more vehement, and
the clamorings for his life became
more insistent, he darted suddenly
up a dark alley, although he knew
that should he begin to run his fate
would be quickly sealed when caught.
Strangely enough, he was not fol.
lowed. 1t was many years before he
learned why. On one occasion he
was introduced to a big Japanese.
then become Christian, as the man
who had once saved ais life It ap.
peared that the man was a ring
leader Of the mob; Mr.. Winn's atti-
tude had led him to change his mind,
and when the missionary ran up the
alley he stepped in and barred pur-
suit. He had to knock down a num-
ber of men, and throw two into the
river, but the pursuit was discour-
aged.
In sharp contrast to those stirring
days, Mr.. Winn, than whom no Cau-
casian is more popular with the
Christians of the island empire, was
called unanimously to become pastor
of the new Dalny and Port Arthur
church. When the attitude of the
Japanese churches toward the mis-.
sionaries is remembered, and it is
recalled that in all Japan there is
not another white pastor of a native
congregation, this peculiar honor
conferred upon Mr.. Winn becomes the
