Christians Getting Together.

To me one of the chief values of
Christian Endeavor, among many 9th
ers rich and great, has been its spirit
ual fellowship. Its Introduction of
Christians of various names to each
other and to the deeper and gladder
appreciation Of our common Saviour
and Lord has been an inestimable
boon. I am sure this gracious boon
will go on Frightening and blessing in
the coming years. = Rev. Wayland

Description of Great Work Which Has Been Quietly Accomplished.

When Bishop Kendrick first came to New Mexico and Arizona, as bishop of the jurisdiction. he said in response to the questions of a brother bishop. that he did not care to establish schools or build a cathedral, but he ~fEould like to have some kind of a church hospital where the lives of young men and. especially clergymen. could be saved for the church This remark was repeated to the writer of this article, when he came to Phoenix for the first time in the winter of 1904 in search of health for a member of his own family. l saw at once the difficulty of finding for those who are suffering from what is rightfully call ed "the great white plague" suitable places where 9 comfortable home and nourishing food pleasant surroundings and sanitary conditions and medical oversight could be provided at a mod crate cost. Many hotels and boarding houses refuse to take people sick with this disease.
 The fact is now geenrally recognized that the winter climate of Phoenix and its neighbOrhood is the best in the world for those suffering with pulmOn- ary trouble. During that first winter passed in Arizona. l saw the chances of getting well thrown away by many men and women who did not live in sanitary manner. who, hcmesick and forlorn sought for amusements which were not conduice either to physical or moral well being.

JAPAN Is WORRYING OVER CABLE DISPATCHES

TokiO, Jan. 12.-Cablegrams indicat- ing overwhelming sentiment in Amer ica in favor of an exclusion bill is causing much uneasiness among the leaders of all shades of politics. who have repeatedly expressed the convic- ton that the Americans did not de- sire to discriminate against Japanese, but would accept the attitude of the Japanese government as evidence of the sincere desire not to embarrass the American government and. at the same time. save the amour propre of the Japanese.
