FIRST SERVICE YESTERDAY.
Bethany Baptist Congregation in Its
New House of Worship.

Bethany Baptist Church held its first
service in the new church at the corner
of I'd street and Rhode Island avenue
northwest yesterday. Rev. Hugh Steven
son preached the opening sermon before
a very large congregation.
While the new church edifice is small
1t Is hardly possible that it will be used
for church services more than a year
as it is intended to be. supplanted by a
much larger and more modern building al
that time. After the new building Is
finished the small building will be used
as a gymnasium and will be one of the
finest for its size in the city.
The Worley class, which was organized
little over a year ago. has at present
over a hundred members, and before an
other year has rolled around it is ex-
pected to be much larger. There were
orty-three members of the class present
yesterday. This class is taught by Mr.
Harry r. Worley, who was manager OF
the champion Bethany team in the
Church League last year.

ADDRESS ON MISSIONS.
Rev. 81. H. Lowry Of University OF
Peking Explains Conditions.


Addressing the congregation of Foundry
Methodist Church last evening on Mis-
sions." Rev. II. II. Lowry. president of the
University of Picking, said that Christianity
is making rapid strides in the celestial
empire. when the University of Picking
was founded the move was thought to be
about fifty years ahead of it's time. but it
has been demonstrated that it's establish
ment was particularly opportune," said
DR.. Lowry.
Now is the time for, the Christian
church to strengthen the schools already
established. Not only are we teaching
the Chinese the Word OF God and the
moral blessings of Christianity, but we
are enlightening them and cultivating
them in all lines.
Medical work has more influence than
any other Christian institution with the
Chinese, because they can see plainly the
direct benefits of medical work; but in
time when We have raised the standard
of cultivation and enlightenment along
Christian lines a trifle more, they will
more readily see the al-powerful benefits
of Christian learning along all lines
DR.. Lowry will read paper before the
Religious Education Association before
he leaves Washington.
