days. That leaves but % business
days for the saloonmen.
Ground Hog Day and Valentine

another day chopped off. Counting an
average of thirty days to the month,
the salconkeepers are out a solid

Wachang garrison on the tenth Of last
October proved to be the firing of
well laid mine, and the explosion
which followed scattered completely
the foundations Of the Manchu govern
ment. For the first time in it's his
tory the populace Of the empire re-
sponded with wonderful unanimlty to
the promptings of a national conscien-
ciousness.
The republic which has thus come
into existence is facing task OF stu
pendous proportions and almost super
human difficulty. But the results
which have already been accomplish
ed are SO far beyond what we dared
to expect that it gives us courage to
expect great things for the future
But we of America should reach out
helping hand to the people OF the
new republic. They will appreciate 1t
row as never before. And they have
confidence in the people of America
which puts us in a position to be
peculiarly helpful at this time. They
are afraid of people who want to ex-
plot their land, but they stand ready
to welcome every disinterested effort
to help them attain the national de
yelopment for which they long. More.
over. the leaders of the new govern.
ment recognize the fact that the prin-
ciples of christianity are in perfect 40
cord with the ideas which they are
attempting to work out in the new
republican form of government. DR.
Sun, the leader Of the movement, is
himself a christian, as are also the
prominent leaders.
1t is not to be expected that the
new government will adopt christian
ity as the state religion. 1t is Ger
tainly not thing deserved.

ed, Good Social Tlme-Re-
- freshments
Served.

The bi-monthly meeting of the West
minister Brotherhood was held at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Blood
at PA Fulton street, last night, and
was well ATTENDED. DIR. Frank NJ.
Fuller presided over the meeting
which proved one of the most pleas
ing that has been held by the Broth
erhood for long time. There were
social enjoyments and light refresh
ments. The center attraction was
the address of Rev. e. G. Shoemaker,
missionary to China, his subject be-
ing founded on his experiences and in
formation gained there during his
several years of residence in that
land so much discussed and whose
troubles and turmoils have awakened
great interest throughout the civiliz-
ed world DR.. Shoemaker in the
course of his address displayed num-
Der of curios he brought from China
which added much to the interesting
and instructive talk he gave. His
subject was "The New Republic and
was given more as talk than set
studied address. DR.. Shoemaker is so
fully conversant with the history,
present conditions and the habits and
thought of these oriental people he
very easily entertains without prepa-
ration.
In his address last night he said
that the transformation which is
taking place i'll China today can
scarcely be paralleled in any age of
the worlds history
A nation embracing in its population
one-fifth of the entire human race.
within the short space of four months
and with so little fighting that it was
almost bloodless. has left the ranks of
the worlds ancient monarchies and
taken the place among the republican
governments To rightly appreciate
| the meaning of this movement one
must keep in mind the history of that
wonderful people which has had ma.
tional existence for over four thous-
and years. China was already a we'll
developed nation while ancient Baby
lonia and Egypt were at the height OF
their glory and long before the time
when Assyria, Persia or Greece be-
gan to take part in world history.
