UNIQUE CHINESE MISSION.
Native Christians Conduct Successful,
Forward Movement in Shanghai.

In December, 1905, an informal con,
ference of IL leaders of missions hav.
ing Christian work in Shanghai, met
to discuss the need of spiritual for,
ward movement. They decided that to
be most effective this should be con-
Quoted by Chinese. Various mem
bers consulted with their Chinese as
sociates, with the result that the Chi
nese clergymen and other Christian
workers met daily for ten days at the
Chinese Y. M. G.. A. to pray about
the matter.
It was finally decided to invite DR..
Y. S. Lii and Rev. B. D. LII, of Suchau,
to visit Shanghai after the new year.
Three thousand confession and prayer
cards were distributed to Chinese
Christians, and on February 13 meet
ings began, which were strictly limit
ed to Christians. For eleven even
ings, in the midst of constant rain,
an average of probably 200 church
members assembled at the Lond on
mission and Presbyterian churches.
DR.. Lii addressed the missionary
prayer meeting, and his statement
that the lack of spiritual power
amongst Chinese Christians was large
ly due to the same lack among for
eigners, who are the instructors and
leaders of the Chinese, was received
by an audience conscious of it's truth.
Mr.. r. E. Lewis writes to the Rec
ord of Christian Work that DR.. Lis
last meeting was largely attended, and
for two hours there was a stream of
prayer, testimony and confession of
sin. The Yoke Fellows band at the
Chinese Y. M. G.. A. planned Sc.
ries Of meetings for English-speaking
non-Christians. These have just
closed, having been addressed by Mr..
F. S. .Brockman on four evenings. Au.
diences larger than have ever been
crowded into the rooms listened; two
after-meetings were. held with about
so inquirers, of whom IL publicly ex-
pressed their purpose to be Christians.
Some of these were men of prominent
families, and will have opposition and
temptation to face but all of those
who definitely decided had been in
past years students in Christian col
leges, but had made no open confes-
sion to Christ.

Separation of Church and State in
ltaiv

France has cast aside what she felt
to be her religious shackles, and it.
may be natural that the movement in
France should be followed by similar
movements in other Catholic coun-
tries, as, for example, in Italy. In
fact, Ricciotto Canudo tells us, in the
Gazette de Geneve, that the demand
for separation between the Italian
church and state is constantly grow
ing louder. and that a crisis may be
expected SOON.

and whose bodies have been borne
across the sea to be buried in Airing

patriotic dead on the globe. This Goth

There will be a repetition of the an

Alas! the column of ex-union SOL
diers does not present long line, and
the few who participate are for the
most part bowed with age and in
creased disability which time has
wrought.
The patriotic organizations, sons and
daughters of veterans, and the loyal
people have taken up the work
which older hands have had to lay
down. The spirit of gratitude and de-
votion to the memory of the countrys
defenders inspires the whole nation
to-day as it did in 1868. " =. ..

the inhabitants that the beautiful was in reality the
useful The different uses to which ribbons could
be put was the result of profound study and natu-
raj ingenuity.
The lecturer related to them that in taraway
India the natives believed in the efficiency of red
ribbon to keep the mosquitoes out OF their dwell
ings, and also to protect them from the plague
Such sound reasoning convinced the people OF
Brownsville and Sycamore county that they must
indeed have ribbons. 1t was after the lecture, at
the little informal reception, that the lecturer Sg
