Benjamin Flowers
Passed Away.

At the home ot Rev }, l.
Hammer Benjamin Flowers pass
ed away after a brief illness on
last Thursday evening. He had
been fast declining in years and
strength and therefore his death
was not wholly unexpected. 1t
is sad to give up loved ones but
we must humbly bow 10 the will
of the creator.
He was born April 2lst, 1886
and served through the civil war.
He died June 18th, 1912.
He leaves many relatives and
friends to mourn his loss. Among
them is Mrs. J. T. Hammer, his
daughter, who stood by his dy-
ing pillow and administered
every care possible. Other rel
atives were anxious and did all
they could.
His remains were inferred in
Ebenezer cemetery Friday p. m.
A large concourse of friends and
relatives followed to the last
resting place.

Revolution in China ~

Minneapolis. May S. ]. W. Bash
ford, bishop of the Methodist Episco-
pal church in China, delivered an ad-
dress on the Revolution in China"
before the general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church here. Bish-
op Bashford reviewed in detail condi-
tons as he had found them in China
and declared that the Chinese peo-
pie have caught a glimpse Of Canaan:
they are on the road; they will not
rest finally until they have reached
the promised land"
Bishop Bashford disclaimed the re-
port that he represents the Chinese
government or brought a personal
message from Yuan Shi Kai to Presi-
dent Taft or the American people
Bishop Bashford said in part:
The enemies OF China declare. and
with some truth, that the whole move
ment throughout the empire is due not
at all TO Chinese initiative, but that
foreign missionaries awoke the Chin
csc giant and the irresistible pressure
Of foreign nations pushed him into
his present progressive pace. How
far, therefore will the giant travel,
they cynicsliy ask. without further
foreign prodding? And We who main

tain that the giant is at last awake,
and that he has leaped the chasm
which separates oriental despotism
from modern institutions must recog-
nize that he has still before him a
long and perilous journey.
With the almost universal ignor-
ance of the masses, with the almost
universal corruption Of the Chinese as
well as the Manchu officials, with the
narrowness and bitterness of clan
feuds, with the professed selishness
OF the guilds, with the local jealousy
of province against province and the
widespread jealousy Of the south
against the north, with the tremend-
Gus difficulty of uniting the Chinese

laWlessness which attaches to every
great transition In government. with

News of the Churches

The conservation congress of the
men and religion forward movement
proved hardly half as large in num-
bers as the congress of laymen's
missionary movement, 1000 dele
gates in New York as against 1000
in Chicago two years ago. Ninety
per cent were the very same men.
The Titanic news both hurt and
helped the congress. 1t hurt in pub
licity and impress that it was able
to make upon the city and it help
ed in the seriousness of its message.
The Sunday covered by the congress
dates, April q, was perhaps the
most remarkable one New York ever
went through. 1t was remarkable
along the very lines for which the
congress stood, but it was the Ii
tanic disaster and not the congress
that had the public notice.
Indications at the close of the
congress seem TO be that the work is
likely to be permanent to some ex-
tent. Rumors are heard of endow-
ments for some of the lines, notably
the bible study and the social SER
vice, and of funds with which to
put the publicity plans into working
shape. Committees on cities, mod
crate proportion at least, report
themselves on a lasting basis. Local
campaigns are in a way to become
annual and some leaders of teams
may be able to make annual tours.
To the international committee of
the Y. NJ. G. A. belongs the credit
Of carrying the movement through
! its first year, but there are indica-
tiOns at its close that some other
organizations will now take hold in
fact as they have so far in name.
The real results claimed to have
| been attained thus far are several.
/ They are first, a tremendous push
/ TO the schemes of Christian unity. II
| is not felt that organic unity has
/ been much helped, but it is felt that
working unity is much the gamer
Second, there have been surveys OF
conditions that are of enormous
value, both IN the facts revealed and
| in the knowledge of ways to get new
facts of the same kind And in the
third place the attention of the non.
Christian people has been caught and
/ held to some extent. Not much has
been gained in definite plans for
work, and not many of the 100000
new men and boys have been gotten
into actual church membership. AS
for money expended, it has been con.
siderable, but so far as can be learn.
ed few unpaid debts remain. The
rational committee is said TO have
expended about S125,OOO, the New
York committee spent 5000, and
an aggregate of expenditures by all
local campaigns, difficult to estimate

die the horse and take the grist to the
mill. 1t had been the practice from
time immemorial to place the grist ia
one end Of the bag and large stone
in the other end TO balance it. and so
throw 1t across the horses back But
Johannes on the present occasion man
aged to get the grist divided between
the two ends of the bag, so that there
was no need of the stone.
"Oh, daddy, come and seel There
amt no use for the stone"
The old gentleman calmly surveyed
the device, and with a severely re-
proachful aspect remarked to his ex-
ulting son:
Johannes, your fader, your grand.
fader and your great-grandfader all
went to de mill wild de stone In one
end Of de bag und de grist in de odder.

of 100000. Leaders declare the
campaigns to have been worth the
money. Some others say much de-
Ponds on what work follows. So far
as can now be learned there are no
new movements in the air. The i'm

country.
Conservatives are again bringing
forward their guns TO attack the lib
eral position held by many Presby-
terians. The target is Union Theo-
logical seminary, New York, and the
place the general assembly, which
meets in Louisville May 16. Last
year, as some may recall, a commit
tee was named, with Rev DIR. d. G.
Wylie as chairman, to confer with
Unions president and professors
upon the subject of theological
teachings, and report at the Louis
vile assembly. No inkling can be
gotten of the nature of this report,
but it is known that several con-
ferences have been held. The New
York presbytery has elected Presi-
dent Francis Brown of the seminary
a commissioner to Louisville and Pro-
fessor William Adams Brown an al
ternate.
The complaint of the conservatives
is that there are going into the Pres
byterian ministry, chiefly through
the New York presbytery, many
young men whose views on the vir-
gin birth, on the raising of Lazarus
from the dead, on the physical res
direction of Christ, on the authen-
ITCHY of the gospel of st. John, and
on other cardinal doctrines held by
the Presbyterian church, are I'M
sound and uncertain through in
structiOn received at Union. There is
no way directly for the general as
sembly to discipline Union seminary

Last year some New York conser.
vatives protested and the outcome
was the committee to confer witt
President Brown and the Union fac
ulty. The chairman of the commit
tee is himself conservative. With
out regard TO the nature of the re
port, Union seminary will, if conser
natives can bring it about, again ge
into the assembly this year on heresy
charges as affecting students comins

I'VE plead for large patience and
generous hope in our attitude toward
the Chinese. We fought seven years
TO win our political independence and
then took six years longer 10 frame
our constitution. and we so compro-
missed over our form of government
years struggle TO transform the states
into nation and the blood of 100000
white men to cover the stain of slav-
cry. Let US not expect the 400, 100000
in China to complete in few weeks
tasks which western nations required
decades to accomplish.
Guild government and still more
the government by village elders and
by the heads of families and clans,
have provided China a valuable prep
aration for law and order under the
republic. The family. and often an

city in North China in which an en-
tire family was put to death for breed,
ing a son wicked enough 10 slay his
father; and not only was the whole
family annihilated. but a corner of the
city wall was torn down and the en-
tire city left defenseless for harbor-
ing a family which could nourish such
a son.
Western nations marvel that so
great revolution in China could have
occurred with so little bloodshed.
Probably not more than 10000 people
in all lost their lives in the trans
fer of 400,000,0O0 from an oriental des-
potism to a modern republic. But we
submit whether the reign of Kwang
Hsu, the last regency of the dowager
empress and the regency of Prince
Chun were not a providential prepare
ton for a revolution, while the events
of the last eight months constitute in
form one of the most tremendous rev.
buttons of human history, we sub
nit whether these events are not in
substance an evolution, rather than a
revolution, an evolution which hun

have prepared the way for, and which

GERMAN MUSIC.
Wherein It Is Said to Surpass That Of
All Other Nations

All Other Nations.
Hans Won Buelow's remark that
"Italy was the cradle of music and re-
manned the cradle" was, of course, not
intended TO be taken literally, but sim
ply as witty exaggcration of an OBJ
vious truth. Italy gave the world the
first operas, oratorios, cantatas. over
lures, sonatas and most of the ecclesi-
astical forms, and in course of time it
furnished master works in all these
styles of musical architecture; yet 1t
remained for the composers of Ger
many to write the most elaborate and
fully developed specimens in each case
Italy can show no choral works equal
to Bach's EST. Matthew Passion" or
Handel's Messiah" no overture equal
to those of half a dozen German mas
tiers; no songs equal to those of Schu-
bert, Schumann or Franz: no operas
like Wagner's; no symphonies like
Beethoven's; no pianoforte pieces like
Schubert's. Beethoven's or Schumanns
On these points there can be no dis
pute whichever. and that is why Ger
many is now universally conceded to
be the chief musical nation. even by
those whose personal taste impels
them to favor particular examples of
Italian, French or Russian music
The greatest masters of Italy. France
and Russia have been unanimous in
looking up to the German masters as
their masterS-as the men TO whose in.
iuence they largely owed their own
education and development. From
