NEW YORK. July 9-(Special Dispatch
TO The Bee.)-some of the delegates to the
great missionary conference at Edinburgh
are returning home and without exception
they are enthusiastic over their recep-
tioS at the Scotch capital and the
splendid spirit shown at the great gather

present at the conference more than l. 100
delegates representing nearly every organ

eating the Christian faith throughout the
world The majority of them are engaged
in the work in foreign fields or have been
so engaged-scholars. statesmen. publiciSts.
soldiers, sailors, divines. thinkers-the
very cream Of the Christian community on
earth gathered together TO consider how
best they can attack heathenism and most
advantageously take the gospel to the non
Christian world. The conference ig-
nored the points and minor differences
which divide the forces OF Christ, and one
of the most pleasing and most promising
signs Is that while the Roman Catholics

and so-she made the gift. There are no
strings to the endowment; the income can be
applied as the directors see fit, but these are
the possibilities which particularly impressed
her At the Young Women's Christian associa-

which impressed her most wildly. She real
lied that many girls do come to the city
totally unprepared to cope with conditions
here; unacquainted with conditions and quite
unproyided with funds. Their assistance she
considers an important part of the work. And
the rest room, which offers an hours rest to
the business women whose work means hours
of standing, seems to her very much needed
department. She is exceedingly interested in
the business omen.
In fact, when We were talking about her
gift she asked me which thought really more
important, this work for young men. or that
for young women. She herself felt that the
work for the girls was
The girl VINO comes to the city usually
gets smaller wages than the young man. She
must then live in a cheap room, and after
business hours she must stay in that room;
she hasn't the freedom that is accorded to the
young man. So the institution which enlsrges
her opportunities OF living and puts some OF
the social elements into her life is doing a
much-needed work"

W n MAKING her recent most generous gift
to the Young Women's Christian asso-

stantial tribute of appreciation, since
the gift was impelled by belief that it was
through these organizations the money could
be made to reach with most benefit the most
lives.
This wasn't what Mrs. Wharton said in so
many words in reply to the query, because
Mrs Wharton did not reply directly; in fact,
she prefers not to talk Of her gift. And so,
for the story of the gift. 1t is more satisfactory
to address the query to the right hand"
rather than to the lowering left hand; that is,
to ask her husband, John c. Wharton, to tell
you about it.
And as Mr.. Wharton is himself exceedingly
interested in the work OF the associations.
particularly that for the young men, the talk
rapidly resolves itself into a discussion of the
good work being done. Immediately, then,

peal and the Importance of the work which

has grown as she has investigated the work

work being done among the boys The fact
that the association provides place for them
