last Tuesday night at their home on
Riggs place by the members OF the Luz

Following the United States.

Called to organize government school
at Toxic. Mr.. Verbeck within a year sue
ceeded in enrolling 996 students. AS many
of these afterward became lawmakers or
officials, the opportunity of the mission
airy to influence legislation was great. Not
only SO, but he was consulted continually
by men In authority. to whom he gave
the advice, eagerly acted on, that every
thing possible, even to army, navy and
administration systems of post, light
houses, education and SO forth, like those
Of the United States, be Immediately
formed"
But the greatest triumph was when a
plan drawn up by Mr.. Verbeck for an en-
bassy composed of the highest officials to
visit the United States and Europe for
the purpose of studying western civiliza-
ton was brought to the attention of the
government. His plan was ordered to be
carried out. Eight members of the en-
hassy were former students of Mr.. Ver-
beck.
Within two months the embassy set sail
for the United States. 1t was not long till
the eyes OF the mobiles were opened to
the fact that Christianity was the force

tiers telegraphed back to the government

was that the anti-Christian edicts disap-
