HONK KONG, Oct. S:-Shocking
stories are beginning to leak out
concerning the crueltes the Japan

an enormous number were literally
massacred. In hundreds of cases the
suspects were mercilessly put to the
sword, hanged or shot down in

THEo. LoRCH co. COMING

"The Lieutenant and the Cowboy
the new western military drama
which comes to the Park opera house
Friday night September 18th, should
not be confounded with the ordinary
clap trap melodrama, for this is n
play of sterling worth and is pre-
sented by an extremely capable COM
pany. headed by the eminent young
western actor, Mr.. Theodore Lorch.
No better play can possibly be offer
ed Grand Junction theatre-goers this
season, for the simple reason that no
thing superior has been written.
''The Lieutenant and the cowboy" is
tense, heart thrilling drama of the
west. 1t combines the elements of
both trageba and comedy. but so
isanely blended that the complete
story clings to ones mind long after
the performers are forgotten. 1t is
by no means a gun" play but two
shots being fired during the four acts
and neither of them in view of the
audience. 1t Is, on the contrary, a
strictly high grade production well
worth the attention of our most crit
ical theatre goers.

One Of the most popular speakers
that has taken part in the confer

pastor of the famous Trinity church
of Denver. DIR. Banks has served
as pastor of some of the largest
churches in the country. One in
stance showing what a successfui
pastor he is is the fact that in ten
months time he took 1000 new
members into Trinity church in Den
yer. As speaker he has but few
equals in the pulpits of the west.

Twenty years ago this month I
arrived in Grand Junction and as
sumed the pastorate of the Method
ist church of this city. We had no
church building then but held meet
ings in the second story of a busi-
ness house for while and then in
small one story building. There
was only a handful of members but
they were faithful" 1t was Rev. A.
L. Chase who was speaking to The
Sentinel Man. He is now pastor at
Longmont. He has met many old
time friends and former parishoners
here and is enjoying his visit very
much. He was one of the first
Methodist ministers that ever had
charge of the Grand Junction pastor
ate and a very faithful, earnest pas
tor he was. 1t required nerve to
hold down such a charge as the Grand
Junction church in the cary days, the
support was loyal but necessarily
meagre and the pastor had no easy
time. Rev. Chase marvels at the
growth and development of Grand
Junction but says that even in early
days such a growth was predicted.

Wilcox n Favorite.

Rev. C. B. Wilcox, pastor of the
First Methodist church of Colorado
Springs, who is one of the leading
spirits of the present session of the
Colorado conference, is one of the
brightest and most gifted ministers
in the conference. He has spoken
on several occasions during the week
and every time he has had something
extremely good to say. He is an
eloquent, forceful talker, and every
body enjoys listening to him. DR..
Wilcox has had a remarkable record
as a pastor. During the 27 years
of his ministry he has served only
six churches. When a church gets
hold of DR.. Wilcox as pastor they
hold on to him as long as they can.
He has served the Colorado Springs
church, one of the largest in the

something different from the usuaf

the closest attention of the big auu-

there is no question but what the ad-

its possibilities, its wonderful Fe-
sources and the great need OF thor
ough and faithful missionary work
within the boundaries of that mighty
nation. Everybody had new idea
regarding China when DR.. Trimble
had finished, they no longer pictur-
ed It as a very stupid and extremely
ignorant nation. He brought to the
attention of his hearers the fact that
many of the greatest discoveries and
inventions ever made and perfected
should be credited to China. He de-
clared that China is not to be spoken
of slightingly and predicted that be-
fore many years had passed that vast
country will be one of the leading
nations of the earth. a nation to be
reckoned with seriously by every
other nation His application of the
need of further growth of Christian
ity in the Yellow Empire was most
pointed. forceful and emphatic.
Many other important and inten-
selv interesting phases of foreign mis-
sionary work was dealt with by the
