They are dependent upon one another. I ask that this gathering to-night We are told that it is the good pleasure of God to make known on earth the manifold wisdom of God through the church. We all have our contributions to make. As the reli- gion of Christ is made known, so s God's wisdom made known. 1 find a passage in which my Master by his crucifixion and resurrection spread a gospel which should teach all mankind. I find a pas- sage which says: Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the worid.” I find also ‘Go, make disciples of all people of the earth.” We are determined to make known | this salvation and plant in every country the socleties our Master directed. There are four methods of doing this. First, the evangelistic, and when I speak of evangel- istic work 1 want to ask your sympathy and admiration, for the work is severe and trying. Becondly, the educational. If this world is be won to Christ it is not to ‘be won by Americans ant English alone.

One thing he has forgotten, a megaphone, but fortunately for you it will constrain the speakers to be very brief. The remarkable change in the relations of the United States to the Far BEast have led men to look to the relations of Christianity to other religions. We must recognize that sit- uvation. No one who knows pagan lands can be insensible to the fact that in the books of these old religions there is something of good. Our Anglo-Saxon Christianity has a message to the pagan world that no other Christianity ever has had. The triumph is that God has given to Anglo-Saxon Christianity a distinct adaptabllity of turning civilizations of heathendom to a civilization of the Anglo- Saxon. I wonder if you know how it touches our imagination when we come here and look out Golden Gate and far over the waters and think of that distant land —that land where the work is to be done, work which in its results s far more golden than all the wealth of your glorious land. ““I will make a man more precious than gold,”” the lines read. May God so order that out of your Golden e there shall pour the stream of some- | thing more prectous than gold, that shall re- generate that pagan world to the glory of God and the upbullding of his kingdom among men. BISHOP OF KYOTO SAYS GOD’S PEOFPLE ARE ONE The Bishop of Kyoto spoke eloquently on the living reality of missionary work. He sald: My enly claim upon your attention is that I am & witness bearer, that I share in that work ! entire man the missionary brings the light to the man, educates him, teaches him that un- derneath the canopy of heaven God's people are one. This religlon of ours comes to the people of the East as the religion of humility. Into that land you go'and bring the religion that dignifies labor, and When the confllct of | your refiglon and Oriental religlon is brought about the strong and powerful must wipe out the other. They have nothing in common. REQUICKENED FAITH NECESSARY FOR ALL The last speaker, Burton Mansfield, said in substance: Somebody has seen fit to say that deflcit in this church of ours marks a crisis in its mist sionary work. It is lack of motive pbwer, lack of faith in God and in the plan which he has to redeem the world. It comes largely from selfish motives. It comes because we as [men demand sclentific proof and hide under the shadow of evolution. God himself has a plan of evolution. The world moves and the church must move with it. We mark time too much. This church is losing too much time. We need a re- quickened falth in this missionary cause, In- troduce 1t into your daily lives. Pon't be ashamed to be called Christlans. We must get rid of these theologlcal dogmas and must transmit the dogma of love, that which Jesus Christ brought on earth. Christianity sn’t for us exclusively. Christlanity Is for the world. It it isn't for the world it is a dream and an 1dle fancy. Then let's hear no more that foreign ‘mis- sfons are not paying. Christianity has power to bring knowledge of God into all parts of the ‘world. Love to God and fellow man will knit to- gether every natlon in the world. Thers is no Christianity without . both of them, There time is long since past that we be put upon the defensive. There is no church unless there are missions. The services concluded with an anthem and the offertory. FOUR LIVES ARE LOST IN A RAILROAD WRECK Freight Train Crashes Into a Ligh* Engine at Crossing of Tracks. UTICA, N. Y., Oct. 8.—A wreck on the New York Central and Hudson River Rallroad occurred early to-day in the vil- lage of Oriskan,'New York, seven miles west of this city. Four rallroad men were killed. They are: SPENCER SHANNON, engineer. GEORGE PALMERTON, fireman. WILLIAM WIRE, brakeman. ARGYLE SMITH, fireman. 5 An east-bound freight train collided with a light engine which was crossing from track 3 to track 4, thus causing the wreck. s WILLS THAT HIS ASHES BE GIVEN TO THE WINDS Charles Levy, However, Places Ban Against Any Breeze That Blows Toward Stockton. STOCKTON, Oct. 8—Charles Levy, a pioneer resident of this city, died this morning at St. Joseph's Home. Levy was an eccentric character, who made his for- tune in the early days by carrying a ped- dler's pack, and who has'since enjoyed it in bachelor life. His will, which was filed this afternoon, divides his property among | luro Mountains With a Re- markable Story. TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 8.—Charles R. and Porter W. Fleming of this place arrived here this afternoon from the Galluro Mountains with a report of a remarkable gold discovery. The find is located sev- enty miles north of Tucson, and the vein of ore, according to the Flemings, is 200 feet wide and 6000 feet in length. A can- yon cutg through the vein for 200 feet, ex- posing the ore on either side the entire length of the cut. The Fleming brothers assert that from the bottom of the canyon to the surface the outcroppings of ore will run from $5 to $1000 to the ton. They estimate the amount of gold in sight at the enormous sum of $7,000,000. The Tucson Star is authorify for the statement that the story told by the Fleming brothers is authentic and that it has verifled the facts as here given. If the find turns out as rich as the report brought by the two prospectors seem to indicate it will be one of the greatest gold discoveries ever made in Arizona. A Trustee Seeley Goes Free. SAN RAFAEL, Oct. 8.—In the Superior Court to-day in the case of J. B. Seeley, a School Trustee of Tiburon, who was charged with accepting a bribe, Judge Lawler sustained the demurrer, and the defendant was discharged. An appeal will ‘be made. Lieutenant Killed in a Duel. VIENNA, Oct. 8.—Lieutenant ~Benno Soyka of the Hussars has been killed in a duel with pistols with Ernest Lowenfeidl, a manufacturer, lay delegates of that dlocese voted against it. There was a deal of discussion over the move to change the vote and after motion upon motion had been made, laid on the table, carried or defeated, a second vote was taken, with the result that the amendment was defeated. The House of Deputies and House of Bishops met as a Board of Missions and recelved a distinguished deputation from the Synod of Canada. The Lord Bishop of Columbia and others delivered ad- dresses. The House of Bishops discussed the sub- ject of marriage and divorce, but took no action. They will vote on this im- portant question this morning. News of the death of the venerable Bishop Burge=s of Quincy was received with sorrow. A telegram of sympathy was sent to a daughter of the deceased. Nominations to fill the Bishopric of Olympia and North Dakota were made and a vote will prob- ably be taken to-day. The House of Deputies in the afternoon session did not accept the amendment by which new dioceses may be formed un- der certain conditions. The chief objec- tion to the amendment was that it took the power of forming new dioceses out of the hands of the General Convention. The report of the joint commission on the marginal readings on the Scriptures was presented and accepted, similar ac- tion having been previously taken by the House of Bishops. The Woman's Auxiliary and the Daugh- ters of the King held business sessions and elected officers. In the evening a mass missionary meet- ing was held in Mechanics’ Pavilion, ad- dregses being made by distinguished pre- 4 lates.
