THOMAS TONIGHT
CHRISTIAN CHURCH
is CHURCH MEMBERSHIP NEG
EssARY TO SALVATION? EVAN.
GELIST APPEALS TO BRAIN.

Tonight is the night when Thomas
will preach his great sermon rs
Church Membership Necessary to Sal
vation?" The honest seeker after truth
should not fail to hear this sermon.
The evangelist occupies no halfway
ground in the matter. He says he
will prove that church membership Is
necessary to salvation or quiet preach
ing. He takes the stand that the
church is necessary for all or for
none.
Don't miss this argumentative and
scriptural sermon.
The largest audience of the week
heard the sermon last night. The
evangelist sang, "Tve Found Thee
Companion" and several said it was
| the most beautiful song he had yet
rendered.
Friday night the subject will be
"The Waxed Ear"
Sunday will be the closing day of
the revival, and if the people of Ard
more wish to hear an evangelist who
appeals to your brains without vaude-
vile stunts, they should avail them
selves of the opportunity within the
next few days.

tal OF 80 of the other alleged con-
spirators. 1t is difficult to understand
the grounds on which this verdict
was reached, since the evidence
against the six condemned men did
not differ in character from that
whicn the court held insufficient to
convict the other 99 The impression
left on the public mind of Christen-
dom seems to be that the verdict was
dictated by considerations of admins
trative policy rather than by the de-
mands of Justice. The only hope for
any reversal or mitigation Of the SEN
tence OF the condemned men is in the
imperial clemency, and the suggestion
has been made that an appeal Tor
their pardon should be made in con-
nection with the coronation of the
emperor in November of this year.
This appeal will probably be made
through the committee of reference
and counsel of the conference of mis-
sion boards of the United States and
Canada.
"Wbile the trial was pending there
was a noticeable decrease in church
attendance at some places, due to the
fact that it was not deemed safe for
all the men of family to leave home
at any one time. This condition. of
affairs. however, has now passed,
and the general impression is that
the trial through which the native
church has passed has been followed
by the broadening and deepening of
its spiritual life"
The report says the total number
of additions by baptism reported from
all fields was 3,517, or 1872 more than
the number reported last year, and an
average of little more than 30 to
each ordained missionary. Consider
ing the disturbed political conditions
that have so hindered the work in
some fields, the committee regards
this as a very remarkable showing for
the year.
The committee asks an appropria'
ton of $570,615 to carry on another
years work on the present basis.

Growing numbers of school are ear

the organization OF mission schools
in direct touch with organized church

tions. Surely it should be. no vain
hope that every self-supporting church
should have one or more mission
schools. Many of the smaller ana

Report Of Foreign Missions.


Kansas City Mo. May 21.-The re-
port of the executive committee of
foreign missions presented to the gen
eral assembly of the Presbyterian
church in the United States here to-
day. makes interesting comment on
the situation in Mexico, upholds the
administration at Washington, and
adds an appeal that intervention In
that stricken republic take the form
of Christian instruction rather than
the force of firearms. The report
also comments upon the missionary
conspiracy trials in Korea, declaring
the recent verdicts were dictated by
considerations of administrative pol
icy rather than the demands OF JUS
tice. The executive committee asks
the assembly for instructions as to its
future work, declaring that unless
more funds are forthcoming it may
be necessary to discharge all native
workers at the various missions. This
proposition, it is stated, has already
CAUSED a rebellion among the mis-
sionarles.
On the subject of Mexico the report
says in part:
"Matamoras is the only station of
our Mexico mission where the regu-
lar work has been carried on during
the year. Miss McClelland has con-
Quoted her school work without inter
ference, and the regular church SER
vices have been held. Mr.. Morrow
and Mr Shelby has remained at Mon
temorelos the greater part of the time
to protect our school property there,
and t6 keep in touch as much as pos
sible with the native ministers and
workers. Their position has not been
altogether free from danger, but to
have left their post would have SEEM
ed to be an abandonment of the native
church in a time of great trial.
"Clamorous demands for interven-
ton are made in some quarters, it
would seem, with little regard for
or understanding of the fearful con-
sequences which such a step would
entail. Our Washington government
is dealing with the matter with fuller
informs tion. both of the facts and
of the problems involved than ii is
possible for anyone else to be pos
sessed of. We have unbounded con
tidence, both in the wisdom and the
high Christian motives that are con
trolling the administration in thia
matter and our missionaries have in
formed us that the peace policy OF
the Ires ;dent meets with their unani
nous and hearty endorsement.
"Oa the general subject of inter
vention we quote with our approval
/ the following words of Rev. A. B
Carrcro. native Presbyterian minister
now living in Dallas. Texas He says
I'VE need Intervention? Yes, we do
But not the intervention with soldiers

Kansas City, Mo, May 2l.-Among
various reports submitted today TO
the general assembly of the Presby-
terian church in the United States
was that of the executive committee
of publication and Sunday school
work. The committee declares that
the Publishing business of the church
is in flourishing condition. that en-
larged quarters are under construc'
ton in Richmond, Va, and ambitious
plans for the future are being made.
The section of the report dealing
with Sunday school extension declar-
es that as rapidly as the church sup
plies the funds, the following plans
will be carried out:
Place field workers in neediest of
our eighty-four Presbyteries.
Encourage Presbyteries to hold Sun
day school institutes and employ Sun
day school missionaries.
Persuade every church of ability to
establish one or more mission Sunday
schools.
Promote organization Of Young
Peoples societies in local churches.
Erdeavor to bring the schools up
to the standard approved by the as
sembly.
Aid in establishing and maintain
ing training school for lay workers.
Stimulate the memorization of cate
chisms through offer of Bibles and
Testaments.
Introduce new libraries and enlarge
usefulness of old collections of books.
Organize teacher training classes
wherever possible.
Aid Sunday school Institutes at all
the summer assembly points of our
church.
Enlarge our donations of religious
tracts and literature.
Cooperate with the other agencies
of the church in promoting evangel
istic effort and arousing the church
to a sense of it's Christian steward
ship responsibilities, and sustain the
womans auxiliary in its splendiC
work of educating and inspiring the
women to cooperate in every phase
of the benevolent activities of thO
church.
"The report continues:
