AT the Methodist church last Sun
day morning, Chinese student from
|, Ann Arbor, Mr.. w. p. Chen, spoke
of China and Christian missions.
While his speech was deliberate, it
was evident that he had mastered
our language with difficulty, but his
earnestness made way for his mess
age and he impressed his hearers
with some very interesting and new
ideas.
In part, he stated that the Chinese
and Japanese were doubtless at one
time one people, but they had been
separated so long a time that they
were now distinct nations. He re-
ferred to the great age of Chinese
institutions and the new Republic as
the most youthful nation but one that
soon would be sufficiently aroused to
shake the earth. He described the
pestilence, the civil war and the ia
mine which had crippled his people,
and how Russia had taken advantage
of their weakness and with other ma
tons of Europe had striven to parti-
ton China as they had Africa fifteen
years ago. This he claimed was only
prevented by the note of Secretary
of State Hay, stating that the United
States Stood for the integrity of
China and the open door and because
those European Ambassadors knew
that that note was backed by 81
million people, they speedily adj
journed and China was saved. The
return of the conditions Boxer in
demnity was also remembered by the
Chinese and was the main reason
why China felt that her best friend
was Uncle Sam. Also the reason
why over 900 Chinese students were
now in this country while less than
400 were studying i'll all Of Europe.
He said that previous to 1900 China
was anti-Chrstian, but since 1900 she
was pro-Christian and looking to us
for light. The great lack now was
missionaries; that one superintendent
reported that in her district if she
visited each town once and one per
day it would take her twenty-five
years to cover the field. When Eng
land sent her first missionaries she
also introduced opium and the one
handicapped the other When the

Sunday In The Churches

America an missionaries came the
Standard oil tank, the saloon and the
tobacco house also came and now
there were more tobacco agents in
China than there were missionaries
of all denominations He expressed
the prayer that all Christian people
might see a vision as Paul did Of
Macedonia and realize that China
stood across the sea pleading for
help and more Christian missionaries
for the future of China depended on
what America would do for her now
In closing, Mr.. Chen told of the mas
sacre outside the city walls of his
father and mother, a brother and a
sister, by the Boxers because they
were Christian and would not kneel
to idols. The memory of that day
compels me, he said, to turn aside
from the high salary paid to Amer

devote my entire life and ability in

Christ to my countrymen
NCN. ). w. IllCSl VI the DdpllSl
church preached his Easter sermon
from the text, Because l live, we
shall live Also" showing that Christ's
resurrection foreshadowed our own.
He evidenced his belief in the resur-
rection by Christ's statement that he
would rise and the fact that he did,
and further by the achievements of
a Christianity based on Chrst's re-
surrection. The decorations Of the
church were especially appropriate
and the music by the choir reflected
great credit upon both the members
and the leader. The evening SER
vice was a Livingstone program rem
dered by the Sunday school during
which a picture of the great mission
airy explorer, David Livingstone,
was unveiled A good congreg CATION

At the Free Methodist church Sun
day no special Easter services were
conducted. The pastor Mrs. J. Finch
preached from John II: 1921, on the
"Oneness in Christ" She said that
Christ desired his people to be one
in Spirit, one in right and privilege
and one in the blessedness of hea-
ven; that differences in churches and
differences in name did not matter,
but getting right with God was the
great need and the essential of sal
walton.

Heres is chosen Friday by a special
parliament at Versailles. Mile. Marie
Denizard has announced herself as a
candidate.
MY candidacy is merely to dem

cal rights for women has arrived" ="

are four million women in France who
are entitled to the ballot and we pay

Premier Poincare did not withdraw
from the presidential race as he sug-

of M Poincare persuaded him to con-
tinue in the running and, today, he
was still the favorite. The election
will occur, Friday, with two days of
preliminary caucusing January Is and
16.
The popular impression prevails that
Millerand's resignation was brought
by enemies of Poincare and that the
minister of war was merely the victim
Of the presidential campaign. Osten7
sibly he was criticised because of the
reinstateme ent of Lieut.. Col. Du Patty
De Clam, ancient enemy of Capt
minister of colonies, today, was min
lister of war and he had been succeeded
by NJ. Desnard, under secretary of A.
nance. That office temporarily was
abolished SO that the Poincare cabinet
was 1llde within itself.

BOYS BODY FOUND
BULLET-RIDDLED

Portland, Conn, jan. 13.-The state
police and local authorities are look
ing, to-day, for Joseph Sjogren, 10,
who it is believed may know some
thing of the death of his brother Gus
tave, aged IA, whose body was found
under a pile of stone in a pasture.
There were marks on his throat that
showed he had been strangled and
two bullet holes over the heart. one
in the abdomen and one in the mouth.
Joseph disappeared from home Thurs
day having been seen on board a
trolley car Hartford bound.
The body was discovered by John
Smith, H. and John Cronin, -16
schooImates of the missing Gustave,
under a pile of stones in a pasture
used as a dumping ground by the
brownstone quarries- Examinati ton
by the medical examiner showed that
death had probably been instantan-
eous and that the boy was shot while
lying down.
The revolver with which the shoot
ing was done was owned by the boys
father and is .3S calibre affair and
was usually kept in a certain drawer
in his room Thin was missing and
later found secreted in the house. A
quarter of a dollar, which the faith
er had given the murdered boy, was
found in the bank of Joseph.
That the body was not discovered
sooner was probably due to the fact
that it was secreted more than 200
yards from the house.

first of the year, and according to the
officer this is not unusual at the pres

Scarlet fever is always present in
large cities said the doctor land It
is only natural with the closed condi-
tfon of the houses as well as the
fact that human resistance to disease
is lower in the winter months, tina,
there would be an increase over the
summer reports Referring back
through a number of monthly reports
it was shown that in April and May
of last year there were nearly as
many cases of scarlet fever as report
ed in December.
The fact that two nurses in the
Bridgeport hospital have contracted
denic should spread throughout the
wards of that building, according to
DR.. Mcclellan, who said that every
case admitted is carefully inspected
the isolation ward The manner in
which the nurses are said to have ta-
when the germs is thought posi- ible
through the fact that a young pa
tient suffering with scarlet fever con-
tracted a mastoid gland or some sim

the danger OF infection and aided
in performing the necessary opera
ton. They were carefully watched
for advanced symptoms and isolated

The type is said to be extremely
light and there is absolutely no dam
ger of an epidemic in Bridgeport.
