FRANCIS. NKW TOKK. Feb. (Spwlal to The Ie. The announcement that Rev. Dr. Charles F. Aked, pastor of the rich Fifth Avenue I'aptlst church, may give up that charge to ncrept a western pastorate at a smaller chunh, because he can do better work outside of New York, again directs attention to the question. What'a the mat ter tilth the church In New Tork? As a matter of fact there la no place In the world where there la a greater oppor tunity for a man with a real message to do good work than In New York, but ha must have message which so fills his heart and mind that he must deliver it re gardless of persons or circumstances. 1 was fcpenklng the other day to a good Presbyterian elder on this very aubjeet "The whole trouble with the church today," he ald, "is that Its ministers are not preaching what the p"P ought to hear, but what they like to hear. The higher education, the new thought, and ao-called i scientific criticism of the Bible hav so emasculated the Christianity of the major. Ity of our ministers that it Is so weak H will not and cannot attract strong, earnest men. .Our churches are getting to be clubs with Sunday lectures instead of eermons. Ve are oi dnlnlng men to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ who do not themselves be- itevo In It. Is It any wonder that men are tfJt attracted to the church, and that earn xt ministers find It hard to do good work In such an atmosphere." Mlulua Jnbltce. Arrangements are being m;ide for the Jubilee of the Women's Foreign Missionary oclatiea of America, which will meet In this city from March 17 to SO. That Jubilee wlil close a series of meetings that haye been. In progress since last summer, grad ually working eaatwaid from the Pacific coast. Probably the most Interesting feature of the jubilee will be the presentation of a "missionary pageant." This will be In the form of tableaux fclven at the Metropolian opra houee. The actlvlly of women In foreign mission fields took concrete form fifty years a;o. when the Woman's I'liKui Missionary so ciety was organised. That society la st 11 In existence and Is doing splendid work, although other societies since formed are tk.iug wcrvlre on a larger scale. In 1M4 Rev. David Abeel. a mleslunary returned from China, first suggested In the hme of airs. T. C. lHremus of Nee York that women should unite to help fie de pressed women of the orient. Mrs Dore mua" heart caught fire at once, and a few friends Joined nilh her In the movement. But after the fatihlon then uevalent In China of destroying girl Infants, this new Lcrn creature wus put to death by the "parent'' society, the American Board of Foreign Mlslons. because "the women ,rere stepping outside of their legitimate province " Neverthxleiui. several Independent socie ties of wonun were engaged In th e pur-l-cea, and C nty-slx years later, in 18, In alia. Doreuiua' home, the Women's Colon Mlpalonary society wua organized, Including all denominations. '.'-.. The Jubilee will be Interdenominational and the pageant will show how women mis sionaries work In heathen countries. It is proposed toj raise $1,000,000 to continue mlsslomiry endeavor. t Sunday School Convention.' Marlon Lawrence of Chicago, general secretary of the . International Sunday School association, who has recently re turned from a comprehensive trip to Cal ifornia, says: . -; "In my nearly twelve years of . official connection with the International Sunday School association, preceded by fifteen years of close relation with It, in my Judg ment we have never faced an International convention which begun to compare In importance with the one to be held In San Francisco next June. The time and place are strategic, and our brethren all up and .n the Pacific coast are looking forward with the most eager anticipations to the blessings that are coming to them because e .mm ..ihrrim. California needs us and Ban Francisco needs us. This city, which has rebuilt Itself In less than four years, has a population of 416,00 people, but less than 15.000 (less than 4 per cent of the population) are connected with the Protestant churches. The Paclflo coast needs this convention. Warring elements of Christian and foreign rtllfflons are com lng face to face here. Our duties are plain. We must go to California with the choicest-picked buuday scnooi pouy.o assembled in any Sunday school in the m Mr. Lawrence adds that "the Sunday school is the golden gate to the churches promised land." There are 285.000 Sunday acnools in the world today, with an en rollment of SS.OU0.000 persons. In the laat three years throughout the world there hns been a gain of S0OJ0 Sunday schools and S. 000,000 members, and It Is a matter of official record that during the three years 300 Sunday school members hav Joined the church for every day of the year. Father Yansbsii'i Mission. The Rev. Herbert Vaughan. a graduate cf the Apostolic Mission house at Brook land.

Donahue scored a distinct point for the chief of police Saturday morning, when' he got letters and orders of the chief ad-, mltted to the records In the ouster hear ing, despite strenuous objections on the part of State's Attorney Mullen. The documenta, which ar In tha shape of orders Issued to po!tce captain, and letters addressed to the city and county prosecutors, show that the chief not only ordered the prevention of the sale ' of liquor Illegally, but they showed that the chief and hhi assistants had gathered evi dence and asked the legal department to act In the matter, the chief furnishing the evidence necessary to convict. The state's attorney objected to the In troduction of the letters, but he was over ruled by Referee Evami. Attorney Connell elated that Mullen had had access to these records at ail times that the hearing had been In progress and that he has had the privilege of offering them In evidence and that Mullen had studiously avoided the In troduction of them. The letters and orders show that tho chief and his assistants had dona every thing that they pocsibly could to prevent the illegal sale of liquor. Arthur J. Shields, secretary to the chief, was on the stand during the morning and Identified all documents offered as having boon Issued by the chief of polios. Following the hearing 8aturday noon, an adjournment was taken until Wednes day morning. The "Tom Thumb" wedding given at the Clifton Hilt Presbyterian church Friday evening by sixty diminutive little tots was a wedding la every sense of the word. The Ullputlane, under tba capable training of Lira. Olive Orton Anderson, went Into the gam with all the earnestness possible. Comparatively speaking It was a crowd of giants that looked on and applauded the little folks at tholr efforts to make-believe. Father, mothers, big sister and brothers, not to mention numerous friends, packed the edifice to the door. There were several delightful features. A "hobble hklrt chorus," composed of a number of little girls dressed very becom ingly In the very latest In the line of hob bles, enlivened the affair. Professor Beera phunny's band, the Instruments of which had all een their origin In the kitchens of the neighborhood, serenaded the happy young couple after the ceremony. Ralph Judson was Tom Thumb, the groom, and be said his "I wills" In a man ner most common to bridegroom. His bride wa Lois Goerne, and the officiating minister was Leslie Van Noatrand.
