Last Thursday evening at the Baptist church,
Rev. X. T. Capen told Of his early experiences
in China, of his starting out as missionary,
and of learning the language. habits and GUS
toms of the people there. At the Sunday
morning service he spoke on what China may
be a Christian Nation" He said that he
did not claim to be a prophet, but his con-
illusions were based on the strong Christian
character of the Chinese who had already ac-
cepted Christianity, and he gave some very
striking illustrations of the faith of the Chris
tian Chinese and of their heroism and courage
when prosecuted for their faith by their fell
low countrymen. In the evening his text was
"All power is given unto me in heaven and in
EARTH He spoke of the power of the Chinese
nation, recognized now as never before; of
their power in numbers. in wealth, land of their
commercial and political strength, land said that
all this great power should be given to Christ.
He read from the prophecy of Isaiah. where it
is written that many from that country should
come to the Kingdom of God. and later where
Christ spoke of the followers that would come
from that direction. He urged that everyone
should feel personal responsibility that this
should be brought to pass. He told of the need

sionaries and said that it had been estimated
the Baptist denomination would need SO young
men next year to carry on the work already
begun, outside of what was needed in advance
