FATHER YORKES LKTEST LECTURE “Figs of Thistles, or the Preachers in the Pacific.” Some Humorous Re’erences «to His Connection With a Libel Suit. Caustic Charges Against Protestant Missionaries in New Z alend and Haiwaii. Rev. P. C. Yorke lectured toa crowded house at Metropolitan ‘Temple last nizht on “Figs of Thisties, or the Preachersin | the Pacific.”” The enthusiasm of the audi- ence at times vented itself in frequent | applause. | The platform was filled with church dig- | nitaries and laymen of note. F. J. Kierce acted as chairman and introduced the spaaker. The chairman paid a feeling tribute to Father O'Neill and specified that the lec- | ture was in behalf of the Church of Our | Lady of the Loretto, situated at Novato. In effect Father Yorke spoke as follows: “Mr. Chairman and ladies and gentle- men: Here I am by the grace of God | and the favor of the Police Court. | bave all no doubt heard of the grave charge preferred against me. *I am accused of libeling a man who is as far removed from libel as he is beneath contempt. However, I don’t profess to be | able to tell one baa egg from another. Hudelson was bad enough for a leader, ! but it is awful to think of Thistleton. | “Did you ever hear of the Irishman who “ wanted a soft snapon board ship, and who | chose to take his place at the wheel be- | cause he could sit down? Weli, he was told to keep his eye on the north star and steer direct!y for it. “He did tiil he fell asleep, and when he awoke found that the north star was be- | round. Cal:iing for the captain in loud | tones, he said: ‘Captain, we have passed the north star. What sball we steer by now?’ | . “That is the way with the beetle-browed. They have passed Hudleson and are seek- ing a new leader to steer by. If Thistle- ton is their choice they seem to have se- lected one whom they can follow by the smell. | “In last July—to return to ancient his. | tory—a man named Jj. M. Aiexander, re- | siding in Oakland, which fact in itself is | an excuse for a multitade of sins, took it upon himself to take up the gauntlet with regard to some remarks anent the mis- sionaries in the Pacific. ‘L was out of town at the time, and be- sides had my hands full attending to | larger game. “That game is bagged, and I | may be pardoned for returning to con- sideration of the smailer fry. *“What I intend t0say to you to-night about those missionaries shall be entirely on the authority of Protestant authors, and from them I am jusiified in saying that the word missionaty is a stench in the nostrilsof civilization, Thislangnage may seem harsh, but see if the facts do not warrant it. *'In 1814 Rev. Mr. Marsden of the Eng- lish church and the Wesleyan convention went to New Zealand. There he pur- chased 200 acres from the natives fora dozen axes. The secret of the new coun- try was too good to keep, so he sent the blessed news to the otbers. They came and systematically went to work at land- grabbing. “‘We have a record of 1400 acres being bought for forty-eight axes, and from 1830 to 1835 the missionaries acquired possession of twenty-nine square miles of territory. The annals show that among others one Kemp secured 18,000 acres, one King 10,300, one 8hepard 11,860 and H. Williams, who at first got hold of 11,000 acres and found he had a soft thing, finaliy ended by laying his cluiches on 22,000 acres. “The scandal finally became so great that 1t reached England, and though Low Rates to Phenix, A.

You | ooming “over here to murder al | hind the vessel. The ship had turned | | there were few Catholics in Parliament at that time an inquiry was made. That in- vestigation showed that what the Rev. J. M. Alexander has called the salt of the earth tried to get possession of tne earth itself. . “1t is found from Protestant history that a certain Mr. Shepard got hold at last of a large portion of land for two checked shirts and an iron pot, and that Rev. Richard Taylor acquired possession of 50,000 acres. “The scandal finally became so notorious that Parliament had to pass a law invali- dating all titles to land drawn from the natives. You will remember, please, that the Protestants had to take action against their own missionaries before the Catho- lics set foot on the island, *‘At the time tbe missionaries were grabbing up all the land they could get for cuecked shirts and iron pots the old ladies in England were harassed by ap- peals for nelp for the suffering mission- aries. Yet some of these same men were the richest in the city of Auck- land. It is iittle wonder then that when the British Parliament was discuss- ing the question of annulling the mis- sionaries’ titles, one of the witnesses re- marked that Cnrist bhad said to leave all, but the missionaries had translated it into take everything you can grab. “We find a Protestant historian telling us that in 1851, or after the missionaries had the island for forty years, one of the natives was reprimanded for having three wives, and replied: ‘Oh, never mind; all the same as Solomon.” Bmall wonder, in- deed. *‘Another man tells us that tons of Bibles had been distribuied amone the natives just prior to their war with the colonists, | and that when they made their stand against the grasping methods of the mis- sionaries they used the Bibles for gun wads. So the missionaries only succeeded in turning a race that was the highest in the scale of the Polynesian people into one of the meanest, lowest, lying and despica- ble set of savages on the face of creation. “Over a guart r of a century after the Protestants came to these islands the French Catholic missionaries came ihere. ‘The Protestants found there was to be op- po-ition after twenty-five years and flew to arms. Their tactics .ave been the same the world over. It wasonly a short time ago they told the people the Pope was good Protestants. 80 in this instance they told the chiefs of the Maoris that the Catholics would boil their babies to vbtain holy oi.. “Accordingly the Maori chiefs to the number of forty banded together and sent a petition to the King of England praying to be delivered irom the terrible visitation of the marauders ‘of the tribe of Mary.” It is not surprising that the Maoris laughed at them and spoke of | them with contempt when the Catholic missionaries said they had no money to loan at usurious rates and were not going to till the soil. **But they learned the value of holiness and the beauty of self-denial. In twenty years they had made converts of the ma- jority of the naiives left, and when. the Maoris rose in rebellion against the mis- sionaries the Catholic Bishop remained at his postof duty and was not molested.” The lecturer then proceeded to detail the acts of the missionaries who visited the Society Islands in the year 1840 in the ship Daff. He gave the same general complimentary description of what they had accomplished asin New Zealand. He dwelt especialiy upon the conduct ot several of the party, among whom he enumerated the Rev. Messrs. Lewis and Broomhal/, in connection with immoral relaiions with the Tabitian women, and for his authority quoted “‘Ellis’ History of the Propagation of Christianity.”” As in New Zealand, ne said, the Catholic mis- sionaries came and worked a radical revo- lution. *I cannot dwell long upon the actions of the missionaries in two hours,”’ Father Yorke continned, ‘‘but there is one in- stince I must mention. Therecame into this City to-day a woman who was once a Queen. She owned that group of fsiands known as the ‘Paradise of the Pacific.’ She comes to-day almost as a hunted slave. “Early in the century missionaries from the Congregationalist denomination went to those islands. They were received with open arms. They found 130,000 people ready to become disciples of Christ. “Gradually it was found that instead of teaching the people the truths of the gospel they were giving themselves up to the affairs of state. ““When they obtained the ascendency they herded the people into church three orfour times every Sunday and passed a series of blue laws against all legitimate enjoyment that would have honored New Engiand 1n her bluest days.” The lecturer then told in detail of how the colonists waited till @ woman came on the throne to throw her lmo&m and take ssession of the islands. He character~ ized their actions as a disgrace to civiliza- tion. THE OWL DOLL DAY. Twenty-five Thousand Persons Visited the Store and Each Received a Handsome Gift. An elaborate banquet was given at the Cafe Zinkand last night to employes and friends of the Owl drugstore by invita- ticn of R. E. Miller, secretary and general manager of the company. The table was elaborately decorated with flowers, and samples of the best things in the market were spread before the guests. After the viands bad been ap- propriately discussed the toast of the evenine was responded to by Local Man- ager William Blaisdell. The company tarried long over the good things while the band played on. Yesterday was the semi-annual gift day of the Owl drugstore, established by the company as their opening for the holiday trade. More than 25,000 people visited the store yesterday and between 20,600 and 22,000 handsome fancy dressed imported dol.s were presented to subscribers.

Before the Recent War He Was in Danger of His Life, Natives Were Condemned to Die for Their Faith—Present Spread of Christianity. The Rev. S. A. Moffett and Rev. D. L. Gifford, missionaries of the Presbyterian church for the last seven or eight years in Korea, were among the arrivals bere yes- terday on the China, The former has been laboring among the natives of Ping Yang, the famous place in the north of work at Ping Yang, and he has been won- derfully successtul there. Those who be- came converts seemed to catch the spirit right away and started in to convert oihers. They woula talk religion with the people they met as they went about their work and thus were active agents. “Since the war the work has spread so that thereare twenty-two preaching places contiguous to Ping Yang. At the time of the war probably not more than ten natives had been baptized and there were not more than about forty catechumens, or those who had beeu taken, as may be said, on probation. Now there are at least 200 that have been baptized, and there are not less than 500 catechumens. Seven churches have been built or pro- vided for by natives this vear. “Mrs. Isabella Bird Bishop, the famous writer, was in Seoul a year axo. The lady is a member of the Episcopal church, and waa struck with the signal -progress that was being made in christianizing the Koreans. She wrote to the Presbyterian board about the work, and later met a number of our people and did what she could to assist. “There have heen a number of churches built by natives in the v'cinity of Seoul as well as in the north of Korea. In Ping Yang they had to enlarge their church this year four times and the average con- gregation now is 500; 325 yen were con- tributed by the Ping Yang Christians this year. **All this is wonder!ful in view of the fact that at the time of the war the few con- verts that had been made were threatened, stoned and otherwise intimidated. Their lives were not safe. Threats were made against them that they would be killed, and they would have been in one instance had not the representatives of the British Government interfered in their behalf. *‘On one occasion several of the native Christians were arrested and placed in the death cells. The decree had gone forth, the Christians knew it ana expected death. They were finally brought before the judge and told that if they would re- cani, they could save themselves. But even then, only two of them who had not known the truth very long, would assent to this. The others remained firm in the face of death. “They were finally let go, but when they got outside the people said they would kill them anyway and began to stone them and otherwise maltreat them. One of them ran, and finaily after great effort, reached the home of Dr. Hall, the pioneer Method st missionary ther , when when he .fell down bleeding and almost dead. Considering all this, it is extra- ordinary what progress Christianity has made.” The gentlemen are going home for a year’s vacation. R-v. Gifford is from Illi- nois and Rev. Moffett from Indiana. They will be here but two or three days. Hicks’ Slayer Acquitted. John A.Mitchell, who shot and killed E. T. e XEW TO-DAY!

Mr. Moffett bad a pretty hard time of it then and it got so dangerous that he had to go away for a time; but he went back again, and has been having great success 1n his mission work. Never in the history of Korea has there been such an interest in the Christian re- ligion. The gentlemen say the field is ripe and that it is a great place for mission work. They have been doing all they can and wonderful results are being attained, but the work that they can stand is lim- ited. Other missionaries are needed. Never was a country so ripe for opoortune labor, Eisewhere in Korea mission work is progressing rapidly also. The Rev. Mr. uifford has been working at Seoul, the Korean capital.
