Ehli kitab "a. OSBORNE late Of
the East India Army. spoke on Mon
day night at the NJ. f. church.
Tie speaker held his CONGREGATION
for an hour on the customs and man
mers q the East.
introducing his subjec, by the
Moslam call to prayer which is heard
from every Mohommedan Mosque in
the Far East. the speaker said in
part that the chief religions in the
far East are Hinduism. Mohammed-
anism. Sikhism, Buddhism, Pur.eeism
and demon worship.
Hinduism" said the speaker, lis
the religion Of greater part Of the
people Of India. Originally II was a
worship Of the powers Of nature. but
from contact with the demon-wor-
shippers. whom they found when they
entered India, the Hindus adopted
the almost numberiess deities they
now acknowledge.
THE Hindu caste system is too in
tricate to go into thoroughly, but its
followers are divided into originally
four classes or castles. but to-day they
are sub-divided in $4,000 castles be-
low these are pariah or out-caste."
THE Hindu girl has very diff
cult time. They are sold into mar
rage when little children, these girls
are not evenly married. that is to say,
a man Of thirty may marry child OF
six OF seven years, and in India to-
day we have over 20. zoo, 900 widows
in PERPETUAL widowhood.
These same widows are held res
ponsible for the death Of their hus-
bands. and can not remarry, or to en-
ter into the usual social cerdeo.
"They are cursed by the priests

dust upon the streets Of India. 1t is
estimated that there are over llO.97O
widows of India under the age of
ten"
"The speaker showed some Of the
costumes and curios Of the country.
after which he appealed for greater
interest in the development Of the
east. The mission of the church is
something more than building up a
vast ecclesiastical power after the
manner Of Rome. The mission of the
church is something more than gata-
ering the elect of the mass of peod'
ton and getting them ready for ever
lasting bliss. To insist on forms and
ceremonies and to prove our t'stcri-
cal 6escendance from the apostles il

This afternoon at Redwood park the travelling men will hold their annual benefit game. The proceeds go to the Anti Tuberculosis association, and from all indications, the affair will be an entire success.
 Tt is beginning to look like we might exceed our quota of 10000. tickets scld,9 said Charlie Abrams in a state ment to the Age-Hera1d last night. Everyone has worked hard, and all have tried to sell as many tickets as they were able, and it looks like the affair will be a complete success. It is for a worthy cause, and the boys are more than willing to give their time and efforts to the success of the game"
 It will not be announced before to- morrow night who won the pair of shoes offered as a prize to the travel ing man selling the largest number of tickets The sale of tickets will be continued until the game is over, and not till the last minute will the T. P. A. and U. c. T. knock off work.
 The travelling men of the city are to meet at the Chamber of Commerce building at o'clock this morning. A final wind-up drive will be launched to sell as many more tickets to the game as the men are able. The men who meet at the Chamber of Commerce building are to canvass the city thor oughly, visiting as many of the retail merchants of the city as they are able. The popular motto of the organization is, The more tickets you sell the more money you will have to turn over to the Anti Tuberculosis association" And each man is gauging his work accord ing to this motto. Each one is not to let up on his work, until the game is called this afternoon.
 The managers and captains of the teams announce that their men are in first class condition. Each one also announces that his team is going to win the victory.
 We've done it twice before. We're going to do it once more" misses a T. P, A. when he meets U. c. T.
 Look not to~the past, put to the present" retorts the U. T. C. And so it goes each team after the others scalp. Anyway there promises to be a hot battle when they mix up this afternoon.
 This is to be real baseball. and not sandlot scrub one'," said Jim Robinson manager of the T. P. A. team. Some people think that we are going to bring "a crowd ofsclumsy galoots' out and romp around the field for an ex- hibition of farce edy, but they will find out how badly mistaken they are when they see us play. I won't vouch for the U. c. T., put ] will say the T. P. A. have good tfam."
 Those who fail to ge; tickets before the game can purchase them at the box effice at the ball park this afternoon. The game will be called promptly at S:30 o'clock
