Rev. Mr.. Woodin on China.

An address by Rev. 81. p. Woodin OF
Auburn was the special feature of the
spring meeting of the Trinity Local
Union of Christian Endeavor. The meet,
ing was held at the South Paris Congre-
gationsl church Wednesday afternoon
and evening, aud had good attendance,
about twenty-five coming from Oxford,
besides the Norway and South Paris
people.
The afternoon session, opening at
o'clock, was devoted principally to re-
ports of com mittees aud other business,
and discussion of work and methods.
Supper was served at els, and about one
hundred were seated at the tables.
Following a praise service, with the
addition of special music, which opened
the evening session, Mr.. Woodin was
given a pleasant Introduction to the au-
dieuce by Rev. A. 7. McWhorter. Mr.
Woodin spoke on China, topic on which
he is particularly we'll informed and
which he made very interesting. he
was born in China, being the first white
child ever born in that country, and
spent the first thirteen years OF his life
in the city of Foochow. In later years,
and especially in the past three years, he
has evidently followed the rapid march
of events In that country closely.
He is fully in sympathy with China,
and knows the opportunities and the
obstacles which the people of China face
One thing he said in connection with the
establishment of a republic, may have
surprised some of his hearers little
thar there ia M more democratic people
on the face OF the earth than the Chinese
The humblest citizen may If he has the
ability rise to high position. Now thai
the awakening has come in China, as II
has with the events of the past few years
he looks for the four hundred Thousand
people of that country to make rapic
progress, The speaker paid high tri6
ute TO the work done by the Christian
missionaries and the steadfastuess of tht
native Christians in China, and spoke
hopefully of the prospects for the spresc
of Christianity there.

Ninety members Of Mt. Mica Lodge of
Odd Fellows and Mt. Pleasant Lodge OF
Rebekahs attended the ninety-sixth an
niversary service at the Congregational
church Sunday afternoon and listened to
a very able discourse by the pastor,
Rev. A T. McWhorter. Mr.. McWhor-
ter read for a Scripture lesson the sixth
chapter of st. Matthew and took his
text from q portion of the first verse of
the eighteenth chapter OF lst Samuel as
follows: "The soul Of Jonathan was
knit with the soul of David, and Jona-
than loved him as his own SOUL" The
theme of the address was "Friendship",
and using the friendship of Jonathan
and David as an illustration of true de-
votion and unselfish sacrifice, the speak
or enlarged on the duties that true
friendship requires and the great need
of friendship of this kind in the COM
mercial age that is now with US. Senti-
meut rules the world, and this is as it
should be. This life without the happi-
ness produced by sentiment and friend
ship would lose many of the things
worth while. The speaker believed that
there are just as true friends in the
world to-day as ever, and that they
stand ready to make any sacrifice requir'
ed to test their love. He showed how
much friendship of this kind meant TO
any organization and the good to be de-
rived from its influence. 1t was strong
and eloquent address, helpful in many
ways. The music for the service was
finely rendered by the regular church
choir, Mrs. Chester Briggs, soprano;
Miss Helen Barnes, contralto; Chester
Briggs, tenor; Carl S. Briggs, bass; and
Mrs. Cora S. Briggs at the organ. The
anniversary exercises of the order take
place in the lodge hall this Monday even
ing, pleasing program having been ar
ranged. Members of the order and few
invited guests will be present.
