man who has had three years of college work here, and he explained how Jt would be suicidal for Japan to make war on the U. S. when half her commerce Is with, this country and since our missionaries have and are doing so much sot her. Just last year they adopted the entire American school system, and the Christian Japanese students who return to Japan will be the big factors in the making of her civilization. I think they feel that we are dubious about them and It hurts them. , Last Sunday forenoon Rev. Stephen turned his church hour over to four Indian men, one of whom was Rev. Bruce, and his wife was also there. They are from the Mohawk tribe In New York. Mr. Bruce was privileged to secure an education, but when he finished high school he got it into his head to play ball, so didn’t go on to college, but made $2,000 just while the ball season lasted. But ten years ago he was converted and had a burning desire to be a Methodist preacher. He went back to his home in New York and began preaching the next year for S4OO a year. Now he is getting something better than that, because he is really a powerful preacher, but is content to work there among says the Indian will always recentenary was started, headquarters thought best not to bother the Indians at all about It, but Mr. Bruce knew that would never do. He says the Indians will always respond if a big thing is put up to him, so he began preaching it and organized his minute men and from those poor, uneducated Indians of his territory raised $16,000, which was more than they raised from those whom headquarters thought they could depend upon. The Klndians are not even allowed to vote, and to hear such intelligent men talk and sing It seems a shame. Last evening the Chinese American college girls gave a delightful entertainment of music and a pantomine, in which we saw the emigrants land and be examined at Ellis Island. Of course, it was all made up but very true to the real thing. !• felt that the deaconess really had the hardest part of all, to comfort those who were turned back and to help keep .order.

scenery of the country it represents. For instance, in India, you can see the Ganges river for several miles with the masses of people just swarming in and about its waters. When people die in India they either burn them or throw their ashes in, or else just throw in the dead body, and many of these are always to be seen floating down the river. Africa is fixed just exactly like Africa, China like China, Hawaii like Hawaii, Korea like Korea, eta We saw a mass meeting In India. The missionary had just come again, the first time for two years, and the Christians were coming in, many of whom had walked for miles. During their happy service a company of men broke in, representing their village of 2,000 people, and it was pitiful to hear them beg for a preacher, and none to send them. But at last the man thought of a native student who would graduate that spring, so he promised to send him. Sixty thousand people are awaiting preachers today in India. We were all through their schools, Christian and| heathen, and heard many of the dative preachers talk. But I have not told you what we did the afternoon of the Fourth.* We got out of Africa and, ordering;

some sandwlcbs, almost ran to the grandstand to hear McAdoo, but it was packed so we could not get to hear him. A f ter staying there for about three hours and hearing nothing we went and heard lectures and saw pictures at a movie theater. At night the fireworks were the most gorgeous I had over seen. They lit up the different frameworks—Welcome Centenaries, Welcome Home, Boys; Niagara Falls, a Christmas tree, a helmet, the flags of the allies, and good night, and besides the sky fireworks were beautiful. Just a word about the consecration service Sunday, and then 1 must close. In the afternoon, after a couple of sermons by bishops, they called for all those who would be foreign missionaries to come to the stage, and it was wonderful to see the people go forth. Then all those who would be pastors here. Again many went up. At the last they asked for all those who would give their lives to any kind of Christian service anywhere, and a great many went. It was a great service. I am so glad to have been able to attend the centenary, and hope that I have conveyed just a little idea of it to those who have not been so fortunate as I. As ever, ROSABELLE DAUGHERTY.
