and a brother of George B. Lockwood, the private secretary of former Vice President Fairbanks.
 "The Shanghai association continued MT. Lockwood, "has four departments, working respectively among the Anglo Saxons, the Japanese, the Chinese mer- chants and gentry, and the Chinese stu dents enrolled in institutions of higher learning of that great port city. The most conspicuous work is that of the central city association, which enrolls 200 mem bers and has a secretarial and teaching staff of g men all but five of whom are Orientals.
 In this association are found Confucian- ists. Mohammedans, Buddists, as well as Christians All come into it and enjoy the same privileges, which are much the same as are offered in leading associa- tions in America.
 "The full control of the affairs of the organization is lodged in board of di- | iectors composed of 15 leading Chinese Christian business men. The association is housed in modern building the gift of American business men, which was open ed by President Taft-then Secretary of War when he visited China three years ago. Within year after the building was finished it was so crowded with ac- tivties that enlargement was demanded, and the Chinese business men, largely
 
 subscribed sufficient money to purchase centrally located piece of land
 Last year nearly s5O,0O0 came from the Chinese for this work from that one city. The association is an educational institution of prominence. Five hundred students are regularly enrolled and pay ing for their tuition, and many students are turned away each term.
 ''In this Shanghai building is located the first modernly equipped gymnasium in the Chinese empire. The directors have added to their staff an expert phy- sca director from America. Owing to it's leadership in athletics, the associa- tion recently has been called upon by the directors of the first national indus trial exhibition, now being held in cen tral China. to conduct during this month the first national games for China.
 .'The athletes of the new China now are asking themselves when China should send the first team to the worlds Olym- pie games. predict this will come soon, as this year the first national exhibi- ton is being held to decide the cham pionships for the empire, and to create the first national records.
 "Our plan of expansion entails the es- tablshment within the next three years of typical Young Mems Christian asso- citations in each of the IS provincial cap tals, which associations will be sef-sup- porting and self-directed America will assist in this by sending two secretaries to each of these cities. The association, with It's practical manifestation of Chris tianity, seems particularly to suit the genius of the Chinese people, and to fit

 ''The Labor temple" situated on Fourteenth street, in the heart of the great amusement center of New Yorks popuous East Side, will conduct what Z will be practically continuous per < forinance' on Sundays from o'clock in the afternoon until 10 o'clock at night, in competition with the neighborng show houses. Motion pictures will be shown during one hour in the afternoon and from g to 10 o'clock at night.
 The afternoons programme will begin with a "children's hour" An organ re- cital will follow and then for an hour, dramatic recital of popular story or lecture on a human interest subject. The motion pictures will be the last feature in the afternoons meetings. From to o'clock there will be a luncheon and social hour, the evenings programme be- ginning at 7.30 o'clock with a song ser vice under the direction of Mir. Alfred Hallam and chorus of 80 voices. The anthems The regular evening service choir will render the great oratorios and will be held at o'clock and to close the day, the motion pictures or the aItefnooh will be repeated
 The Labor temple is open every night fin the week for lectures and discussions. for musical instruction, both vocal and z Instrumental, and on every Friday night, prominent lectures on the English Bible riven addresses. There is an average of about 15 meetings every week, the object of the temple being to provide a center which will minister to the social and reli- sious needs of, the people of New York's East Side.
 During the past 20 years over so churches have either moved out of the dfstrict below Twentieth street, or else thev have failed. The department of church and labor of the National Pres r bvterian church, d which MT. stelzle is < the superintendent, has undertaken, in | The Labor temple enterprise. to demon strate the possibilities for the church in fbe field which has so largely been for saken by the churches. If the plan suc- ceeds during the two years trial period, fix months of which time has already elapsed, the valuable piece of property mon which the Labor temple stands is to E he purchased and modern and adequate building erected upon it's site.
 The experiment is being watched by the churches and social workers throughout the country.
