The basis of the conference discussions
will be suggested reforms made by Rev.
George J. Waring of the 18th United

is the placing Of all Catholic chaplains
under direction of a Catholic bishop,
either a diocesan or new one to be ap-
pointed to be the head of the chaplains in

In teaching the girls that can be gather

dressmaking and laundry work, the ma

proprieties of life and to a regard for
cleanliness and attractive habits.
Teaching the boys printing. carpentry

AS the missionaries teach the girls and

emplOyments. so they in turn become
native industrial teachers with the result
of continual increase in blessings Of
brighter and better homes and nobler

Honest Business Methods.

1t is one thing to teach advanced
methods Of business to these people, but
it is quite another thing and far the most
important part that they be taught by
both precept and example honesty in the
use Of those methods
All the practices introduced by western
civilization are not elevating and tend to
create and foster the idea in the minds
of the heather that Christian ethics are
inferior to their own.
A sad record of immortality and dis
honesty has been made by the great null
titude who have gone from Christian
lands. In the endeavor to elevate these
people the church has not only to con-
front their false and debasing religions,
but the debasing and mercenary example
Of the worldlings from Christian lands.
While there are many men of high in
tegrity and nobility in commerce and in
government service. there are also many
whose manner of life casts reproach upon
Christian civilization.
The missionary by his teaching and ex-
ample of pure and correct life las done
much to overcome these evil influences
The very best thing that the church can
now do is to strengthen and enlarge at
every point the missionary facilities in
the lines of evangelism. education. Bible
work and industrial training.
To do this effectively every Christian
must exercise to the fullest extent the
gifts that God has endowed him with.
When the church in It's individual men,

to the evangelists and to enter the mis-
sion chapels. but who are willing to be
instructed in some useful trade. that will
help them to better living. They soon
see that the work taught in these train
ing schools of the missionary brings to
them many comforts to which they had
been strangers. As they learn to dress
properly their self-respect is increased
and their ideas Of modesty and morality
are enlarged, and SO become amenable
to religious as we'll as to industrial train
ing.
The Christian Endeayorer who has zeal
for missionary work can find many lines
for useful service.

pacity.
Our Duty and Privilege.
When we think of the wondrous
achievements of our own land In all
lines of industry, after little more than
100 years Of national life, we should be
aroused to our great duty and PRIV
ilege of being able to carry to these
people our knowledge of better imple-
ments and better methods Tor advance
ment and progress.
Not only China. but other non-Chris'
tian nations are awakened to the bene-
fits of western civilization, and the
interests Of commerce will not be slow
to grasp the opportunity for the en-
largment of trade and commercial
prosperity. but commerce seeks It's
own, not their good.
1t is now the church's great hour.
Industrial progress that is inspired and
guided by Christian influences is the
paramount need of these eastern lands.
If western civilization carries to them
riches. without righteousness. material
prosperity. without religion. 1t Will be
another failure of the church to seize
the opportunity that God in his provi
dence has afforded
X
Past Failures.
The church failed in China some
thirteen or fourteen years ago in not
being ready to adequately aid the
three million reformers, who believed
in the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood Of nations. because of the
lack of sufficient Christian literature
to supply the people of the empire. and
again the church failed two or three
years ago in being unable to respond
to the call of the great founder of
modern education in China, when he
asked the missionaries to provide text
books for twenty universities. This
great opportunity was lost. because the
Christian missions did not have suf-
flceitn number of literary men to ac-
complish the task.
Now the church has another great
opportunity to be met through the
agency Of her industrial missions and
through the conduct of Christian bust
ness men. The call was never more
urgent than now to every Christian
organization, to every individual Chris
tian Endeavorer to do their utmost by
prayer, by money and by personal
service in the effort to guide the indus
trial activities Of the newly awakened
peoples in the lines of Christs golden
