Bishop Thomas and DR.. F. L.
H. POtt Addresses Big Mis-
sion Rally at Trinity

Bishop Kinsman was the first speaker
at the Missionary meeting at Trinity
Church last night. He expressed regret
that the weather had interfered with the
attendance, but IN looking over the audi
ence he found that all the parishes OF
the city and a number of down-state
churches were represented. The Rev. II.
W. Wells, OF st. Andrews, had been
called 10 New England to the funeral of a
former parlshioner Two speakers who
represented East and West were present.
Both sections were especially interest
ing just now for their great opportuni-
ties.
The Rev. Thomas J. Garland, secre-
tary Of the third department under whose
auspices the meeting was conducted. ex-
planned that at the last general conven-
tion the American Church was divided
into eight missionary departments. The
third department OF which the Rev.
Frederick NJ. Kirkus is diocesan repre-
sentative. comprises Delaware, Maryland.
Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
and the District OF Columbia. In popula-
ton It is one-eighth OF all the depart
ments IN the country It is apportioned
one-fourth Of all the offerings for mis-
sions, and last year raised one-third OF
all offerings for missions from American
dioceses.
The Rev. f. L. Hawks Pott, presi-
dent OF st. Johns University, shang-
hal. spoke OF the work in China. The
Christian missions more than any other
institutions had prepared China for the
stupendous changes now taking place.

Bishop Nathaniel s. Thomas spoke of
the work in the missionary district of
Wyoming. He said it seemed strange
that st. Luke should mention as

had INDUCED in. But the Baptist was

thought Of the congregation OF 1000

phia church of the Holy Apostles he
sometimes wondered whether il was

FOUR TORY CANDIDATES

LONDON, Jan. 14.-Nomirations in
seventy-four parliamentary districts
are taking place today. preparatory
TO elections In these districts tomor-
row. OF the nominations made today,
Joseph Chamberlain OF Birmingham
and three other conservatives were un-
opposed, as their districts are hope
lessly anti-Liberal. Today's nominal
tions were purely formal as the can
didates had already been agreed upon.
OF the total OF "a seats that will be
decided in tomorrows ballOting the
Liberals hitherto held as. the Conser-
vatives II and the Laborites O. As the
Liberals and Laborites are allied this
year. the Conservatives will have to
make a gain of 21 In order to win the
initial battle.
1t will be necessary also for the Con-
servatives to maintain about this ratio
Of gain throughout the rest OF the
election if they are to conrol the next
House of Commons.
The most sanguine Conservatives
predict that they will win fifty Of to-
morrow's contests. though there are
few others that share this belief. It
is generally admitted that they will
cut down the liberal majority.
As the result Of the first days bal
loting is sure TO have an influence on
the subsequent voting, both sides are
preparing TO put forth every ounce of
their strength tomorrow.
Four Unopposed.
OF the elections tomorrow, not count
ing the four which win be returned
without opposition. twelve will be in
London and fifty eight in the provinces.
The four unopposed candidates are
Joseph Chamberlain. Lord Hugh Cecil
and Sir William r. Anson. for OK
ford University and John Walter Mills
for Durham.
The Liberals are charging that the
appeal from Joseph Chamberlain. pub
lished in today's conservative press in
which he says England will be fifth
rate power unless she adopts a pro-
tective tariff is not the work Of Cham
beralin at all. but of Conservative party
leaders. The Liberals say Chamber
lain's paralytic condition Is such that
he could neither have written nor die
I tated such statement.
Attacks Old Age Pensions.
Lord Landsdowne is now credited
with the worst biunder yet made by the
Conservatives by declaring in speech
last night, in reply TO a question con-
cerning the Conservatives attitude to-
ward old age pensions. that ''he did
not suppose any one claimed that fu-
ture administrations would not be en-
titled TO modify the conditions under
which these pensions are awarded"
The Liberals are scattering the
statement broadcast. declaring that It
means that the Conservatives favor
decreasing future old age pensions.
The effect has been to infuriate the
workingmen and many think that tho
blunder will change 100000 votes.
