Missionaries in Cilina.

At this moment the religious impact
of the west upon China is delivered to
1, 400 Roman Catholic missionaries and
4, 600 Protestant missionaries, of whom,
however, fully 1000 are wives and
therefore not always free to do full
work. The Roman Catholic work is
three centuries old. and more than q
million baptized Chinese are in its fold.
The Protestant work is the growth of
a century and about half million are
within its churches, although its com
municants do not exceed 100000

RELIGION AND FACrs.
Science Does Not Stop With What Can
Be Demonstrated.

Be Demonstrated.
Nothing else has to do with so
many facts and so great facts as reli-
gion," says the Advance of Chicago,
land to call only those things fact
which physical science considers and
to ignore the facts which fall within
the sphere of religious faith and ao-
ton is to be blind to the most impor-
tant thing.
What more absurd than to see in
the wall which houses hospital a
fact and not to see a fact in the spirit
which promoted and pervades the in
spiration, or to see a fact in the chem
tca1 change produced by an expert
a fact in the change wrought in o
community or an individual life by q
revival or other spiritual influences?
But it is said that Christian faith
reaches beyond facts into the I'M
known. This is not disputed. Thsre
is no need to dispute 1t. Science does
the same thing. 1t never yet discov-
cred a fact great or small which did
not carry it over into the unknown.
Indeed, notwithstanding all the claims
to the contrary, science does not con-
fine itself to facts. ANY one who is
practically acquainted with scientific
work says Mr.. Huxley. lis aware that
those who refuse to go beyond fact
rarely ever get as far as fact
Indeed, science brings its followers
at last to the borders of the unknown,
where hope and fear CULVER at the
thought of the mystery beyond. But
here faith takes the believer up in its
arms and bids him locke to the ever
lasting Father, who holds all things in
his hands"

SENTENCE SERMONS.
SANDER soon dies Il vou take

SANDER soon dies If you take it out
Of circulation.
The very best way to lift men is to
meet them on the level.
Heavy words in a meeting will not
make up for short weight in market.
Heresy hunting is simply an obses-
sion Of omniscience.
We find the worst in all by trying
to get the best of any one.
The worst foe you have is the man
who would kill all your enemies.
It is no use holding up the divine
throne If you're treading on the chill
dren's toes to do it.

Suffrage Notes

The work for suffrage in Kansas is
going forward in spite OF the heat, the
vacation time, and the difficulties of
being made as rapidly as possible, and
now Shawnee County Is in trim for
work. its organization complete, with
excellent officers, and force of eager,
willing workers. Mrs. Corbett, of Oak
Grove, who was elected president of
the Shawnee County Association. will
be able, by her efficiency. her wide ac-
quaintance throughout the country dis
tricts, and her personal influence, to
bring into line and enlist in the SER
vice of the cause, women, and men
also, of the agricultural sections, thus
spreading the work over the county
instead of concentrating it in the
towns. The selection Of the other Off
GERS, Mrs. Wilson, of Valencia, Mrs
Todd. Mrs. Smyth, and Mrs. Milliken,
of Topeka, and Mrs. Harry Forbes. was
fortunate one. and Mrs. Cora Well
house Billiard, president of the First
District, says that she feels entirely
without anxiety about the work in
Shawnee County. The meeting for the
organization was attended by a very
good representation of women, num-
bering between seventy-f1ve and a
hundred, and this in spite OF the ex-
cess1ve heat of the afternoon and the
long distance travelled by many of the
delegates.
Other county organizations will fol
low, and subordinate organizations in
Shawnee will soon be formed.

More than seven million women in
the United States daily leave their
homes and go out in the world to work
for their living. They work under
some disadvantages that men do not
have-longer hours, lower wages, and
they bear the greater burdens of our
industrial system. but have not the
protection of the ballot that men have.
Good laws are necessary to women. for
they are the mothers of the next gen.
Grafton. and upon the conditions under
which she works depends largely the
health of herself and her children.
The stunted growth and impaired vi
tality of the English working people
today are the results of lack of legisla-
ton in their behalf when the introduce
ton of machinery made possible the
greater exploitation Of labor. It is Of
the utmost importance that there
should be good factory laws that a
woman should work under good sani-
tary conditions, and that she should
not work too long hours nor late at
night. Yet she has no representatives
to make and enforce the laws neces-
sary to herself and the community.
Women need good laws to protest
them at home as well as at work, and
the poor need them more than the
rich. If food is impure, trust prices
exorbitant, dwelling housts unSanitary,
public schools bad, street cars abomin-
rich can pay for private service, but
the poor have no choice. All these
things concern women. Her home is
her special province. and she should
be able to demand laws for its protec-
ton. There are two ways to secure
laws-by votes, and by Influence"
Wage earners cannot afford influence.
They must elect men who viii make
and enforce the laws they need. An
appeal to legislators that is backed up
by votes, Is the kind that counts. The
workingman's vote looms large on the
politicians horizon, and the woman's
vote is necessary to secure the woman s
interests. The form of any govern
ment and society depends on economic
conditions. A change in industrial life
brings a. change in laws and customs.
Women are now in constant touch
with the world, and the proportion Of
self-supporting women is increasing.
Self protection requires that they
should vote, and progress demands it.
