 ing. the salary of the clersA connect
 ed with the church.
 Since the European war has broken
 out many workers in the far east have
 been without support and Mir. Clinton said he was in America for the pur-
 pose of enlisting men to help bear the burden. He is convinced that the
 greatest need at the present time, in spite of the great world-w wide war. is in the far east where half of all the people in the world have never heard i, of Jesus Christ. His hope and prayer is that the need will be seen and that men will have the courage to rise up
 and meet that need.
 A gentleman in the audience volun- tar1ly arose at the conclusion of Mir. Clinton's talk and said that he has a China for 12 years. In a recent let ter home the son said that if he had
 a thousand lives to live he would live them all for the boys of China. After the meeting a number of those present availed themselves of the op- portunity of glancing at pictures in the parlors, showing the nature of the work that is being done in China to- day.

 before modern ideas had begun to be adopted. His recital of conditions and
