Part Played by Women.

One of the features for which the

remembered was the participation of
th4women. Ii Is doubtful If they had
any decisive part In the actual naming
of the candidate, other than the few
who were present as delegates. But
women figured prominently on the min

inently in the oratorical efforts, and
very much to their credit, At least

Astrop Larsen, son of the late DR..
Laur Larsen, who has spent several
years in the China mission field, de-
| livered the commencement address.
He called attention TO the fact that
the Chinese were arousing them
selves from their selfcomplacency;
the first jolt came in 1894 when the
| Japanese overcame them, aud the
return of coolie labor from the bat
tlefields of France is furthering this
awakening. At present there Is no
| yellow peril said the speaker, but
il Japan succeeds in her policy OF
uniting the yellow races into one
nation with an aggressive rolicy,
then there will be peril. The only
effectual way of preventing this con-
sumation. is to christianize the
heather. Rev. Larsen then made an
appeal for the China missions, which
aroused serious thought in the minds
of his hearers.
