CHINA CHANGING.
Influences of Modern Ideas Shown by by Rev. c. E. Ewing. Tientsin Mis- sionary.

At the union service at Broadway Congregational church Sunday even- ing Rev. Charles k. Ewing, an Amer ican missionary who has been in China, gave an interesting discourse on the radical changes that are talk ing place in that far off country, giv- ing an insight into the conditions of the New China and the Old.
 The congregation was of good pro- portions in spite of the rainy and chilly weather. The scripture read ing from the book of Isaiah was read by Rev. D. s. Worcester, pastor of the church and prayer was offered by Rev. s. H Howe, D. D.. pastor of Park Congregational church.
 4oo, ,ooo, 900 People.
 In opening his address Rev. Mir. Ewing said the scripture lesson that had just been read could be applied to conditions in many countries but especially to the conditions in China. The Chinese political change is a marked one. The short revolution there changed the nation that for 4000 years had been ruled as a monarchy, to a republic. It requires some time time for this nation of 400, 900 900 peo- pie to become accustomed to and set tie down under the new form of government.
 New Education Coming. Probably but one in one hundred Chinese can read and write sufficiently to pass the citizenship exanina tions. The new education is rapidly coming into China, both for men and women, and is fitting them for the republican citizenship.
 Social Changes. Another change has been along so- cial lines Opium has been one of the great vices of China but is use is being gradually stamped out. For many years the fertile plains were turned owed to poppy groging and the production of opium. The imperial government began the work of stamp ing out the vice, it was was taken up by the republica. and it has been effectively carried on.
 Chinese a Practical People. The Chinese are practical people not only in business life but along | other lines. If they are shown that Christianity is the practical religion ! for them we may be sure they will ac- cept it
 The family life of the Chinese is i also changing in the old China the oldest woman of the family was the head of the family, the man taking | second place.

and the winter was approaching.
When the men returned home in
the morning with their dinner pals
still untouched, housewives eagerly
asked how long the quarantine was
going to last and how many more

the boss could not tell them because
he did not know himself.
Five little children ran up the street

claimed, "Godr"
On the corner stood some men.
