REV. DR.. PAINTERS LECTURE

The Presbyterian Church was
crowded last Sunday night to hear
the lecture on China by Rev. q. W.
Painter, d. d., who for many years
has been a missionary in the Celes-
tial Kingdom. Without exception
ii was the most interesting, instruc-
tive and comprehensive lecture on
the Orient to which our people ever
listened. DR.. Painter is IA ripe
scholar of broad and general knowl-
edge of international affairs, cOnver-
pnt with the social, political, re
ligious and traditional characteris-
tics OF the Chinese, their pride In
their own civilization, the oldest of
any people on the earth, and their
natural resentment to the innova-
tions of the newer Anglo.SaXOn civ
ilization and its aggressive com
mercialism. With "A manner at once
pleasant and compelling, he holds
the attention by the very simplicity
and clearness of his diction, unfold.
ing his subject till II stands out
veritable mental picture, aud one Is
impressed with how little the world
in general knows Of this people. In
another column we give short re-
sumo of his lecture which, though II
only skins the subjects of which he
treated, can but interest you.
