The Evening Session.
AT the First Christian church Monday
night the 8 o'clock services were largely
attended. The speakers for the evening
were Rev. John W. Lowe. missionary
sionary to India, and Rev. Willis R
Hotchkiss, missionary to Africa.
Rev Mr.. Lowe made a very interest
ing speech on the conditions in China,
emphasizing It with several incidents in
the life of the people of that country.
In speaking of the conditions in China,
he said: The Chinese are no fools
and the American people can learn
something from them when it comes to
Agriculture, for the Chinese are classic
masters of the knowledge of agricul-
countries. he said: I'm China alone
there are 4OO.ooO,OOO population living
in heathenism.
ut is one of the richest countries in
minerals in the world. The coal of one
province alone is enough to supply the
world, and it is very rich in gold. sill
yer and copper. The natives are too
superstitious to mire for it, as they
think there is a great dragon under
too deep 1t would cause great trouble.
The wind and water are their main
superstitions. But lately there have
been great improvements IN China The
railroads in that country are finely
equipped and the cars are built on the
American plan; everything is up to date,
and a traveller can get a good meal on
the train for 25c, something he could
not do in the United States"
In speaking of the donations to the
Missionary movement, DR.. Lowe con-
cluded: The Christian people gave
SIC. 100000, while the Chinese them

Mohammedan World.
Rev. Mr.. McNaughton made a short
talk on The Outlook in the Moham-
medan World" and illustrated the hard
task missionary has in trying to con-
vert them to the Christian faith. Their
he said, has been lnstilled
into them for thousands of years. And
it is next to impossible to get them to
listen TO anything else; they only laugh
at those trying TO teach them the COS
pei. And if the sultan, who is en-
dowed with all power, should say the
word, they would rise in mass and kill
every Christian in the country
In African Wilds.
Rev. Mr.. HotchkisS talked on the
heather life in Africa. He used the
of the little boy making
mud pies. When asked if he didn't
want to be an angel in heaven, he an
swered no, he had rather be an angel
in the mud.
Rev. Mr.. Hotchkiss spoke of the day
of miracles, and said he did not think
they had passed. In illustration, he
told Of an experience he had in the
wilds of Africa, and said he in COM
pany with an Englishman sent out there
by the English government, was look
ing over some country, when they
found themselves surrounded by lions,
that advanced on them, and they were
out of ammunition, and had no place to
go. The lions changed their course all
at once and left them entirely alone,
and nothing" ne continued, but a
miracle could have caused them to do
