 Evening Session
 thrilling and stirring word pie ture of the mission work in China and the Congo region of Africa being done by the Christian church drawn by Dr. stephen Corey of Cincinnati and sec retary of foriegn missions, climaxed the days session.
 Dr. Moore, convention host, intro- duced Dr. Corey, whose presentation of the efforts to break down the walls of Paganism with the instrument of Chris tianity was in part as follows
 'The Christian church has a strong mission station at Nankin, China, where the terrible massacre of the Chinese rebels occurred last Saturday and they were warned by the Manchus to leave the city before the massacre They went on board of American war ves- sells and sailed to Shanghai. where a cablegram was sent us Monday morn ing that they were all safe. We have not been able to learn the fate of our native evangelists and Christians but the 14 missionaries are unharmed Our property there is valued at $150,- 900 and believe it Is still intact.
 The very noticeable difference be- tween this and the Boxer uprising of 10 years ago is that the missionaries are now appreciated and are carefully guarded both by Manchus and Chinese. This Is no doubt due to the confidence they have gained and the hold they have established upon the hearts of the people.
 T think the rebels will win out and then there will be new nation a regenorated China with the channels followed by the missionaries maoe cause of the partly Christianized em- pre
 "The missionary, man or woman, in China uses many means of reaching the natives and each must be a jack Of all trades. The kindergarten is the favorite method of coming in contact with the Chinese children and teaching them the word of God through the simplest prayers and games with re- ligious significance. The graded schools are another asset 10 our church as we train the Chinese young people to be- come evangelists and they know the subtle art of imparting their new re- ligion to their unenlightened sisters and brothers.
 ITO me the most beautiful work of the foreign mission field Is the medica, missionary, who seems to come nearer to doing as Christ did, when he went about healing the sick. An evangelisrfv missionary might be stoned out of a Chinese town, but one cure by a medical missionary insures his permanent resi- dence there The heathen requires 9 practical evidence of tho kindness and charity of the Christian religion and the doctor who pulls an aching tooth or binds up broken limb for them in the name of Christ. reaches theil sensc of logic and soothes their fear. of the white devils The medical mis sionary Is the entering wedge to teal away the prejudices of heathenism."
