KeaaeitF Starts Aoatrthtaa. Representative Kennedy, while the post rffioe appropriation bill was before the com Cnlttee of the whole too'ay, precipitated a warm disoussinn on the question as to whether the railroads had been (riven a hearing on the reductions made in their compensation for carrying the malls. Ha had read In the house the resolutions adopted by the Omaha Commercial club protesting airalnst a radical reduction In the compensntlon allowed the railroads On the ground that the result would be to Im pair the service: also on telegrams from the Omaha banks to the same effect. Mr. Flnley of South Carolina took exception to the statement contained In these com munications that the railroad companies Jiad no opportunity to be heard, and asked Mr. Kennedy if he was not aware of the fact that such a statement was untrue. . 3r. Kennedy' replied that the chairman cf the committee, Mr. Overstreet, had lr k formed him that two days, January SI and I February 1. had been offered to the rail lays to present their side, but that they Aad only two days notice and they claimed Ithejr could not get their evidence to Wash ington In that time. ' Before the discussion ended Mr. Hedge of Iowa and Mr. Flnley. both members of tho postofflce and post roads committee, got Into an altercation as to what took place In the commlttae on the subject, and finally they were both called to order by the chair because It was Improper for members to disclose committee proceedings. Mr. Kennedy stated to the house that he vmt In favor cf any reasonable and defi hlte reduction In the compensation allowed the railways for carrying the malls and wb opposed to amy unreasonable of indef inite reduction. He said he favored per centage reductions provided for In the bill; SUno the reduction relating to postal cars. I Ixit was opposed to the provision requiring the railroad companies to carry free empty tnall bags, and to the change In method of tfjomputlnc the welrhts until some member (of the committee or of the house could jXtve aorne definite Information as to the iftffect of such provisions. He ssld he was uwllllng to enter the domain of specula tion tn dealing with the postal service snd iliudated that the paramount question before Wbw house and before the country was not ljrfutt waa beet for the railroads but what fsjraa beet for the public and that an Im paired railway mall service would be dear Sat any price.

Our present requirements would therefore be two men and two women missionaries for each 100,(KH or 4.IK0 missionaries. We have now but TOO missionaries In the field and the expendi ture for mission work is $1.13.(tt), where t Aon 0D0 la needed. This would mean an average of PJ for mission work for every member here at home. Now the question comes could we not spare 2,000 men and 2,000 women; this would be but one from each church mission, and to or 14 each for our members. If so we could evangelize the world." "Every church, every synod, every pres bytery and every Individual has a definite responsibility In this work. Let us go out from this convention on a campaign of education to advance this mighty work. It is easy to tangle the work with petty regulations, that a particular dollar should go to some particular place. There are 900 missionaries out now, let us send out the additional 3,100 and get what we can and give It to them; let them have free rein to do the best they can. I believe that God has given this generation the priceless privilege to deliver the gospel to every creature, not that our forefathers were less faithful or zealous." Address of Dr. Corbett. "Visions From the Foreign Field" was the subject of three extremely Interesting addresses Wednesday forenoon. The first speaker was the veteran missionary. Rev. Hunter Corbett, D.D. of China. "Jesus said to His disciples, 'The field is white and ready for the harvest.' So It U today In the far away lands of China, Corea and India. Christ would have us see these landa from the viewpoint ' of heaver.. How are these people to be won 4 for Christ T" said Dr. Corbett, "except as the people cf God are faithful. The safety of our country and the peace of our homes depend upon the Christlanizatlon of the peqple of China and Japan. We must lift up our eyes and look beyond. The present population of Japan Is t,880,000; that la more than the population of the United States fifty years ago. In 159 the first mission was established In Japan and to day 60,000 of those people have been con verted to Christ , latere la Japaa. "Ninety-three per cent of Japan's chil dren are In the schools of Japan. Its army Is equal In organization and drill to any of the civilised western nations. The leading officials of Japan are In sympathy with Christian methods. The emperor and em press recently gave 26,009 for the Young Men's Christian association there. Since the Japanese-Russian war not less than LOCO soldiers of the Japanese army have openly professed Christ. The Japanese are now sending native Christian missionaries Into Manchuria and elsewhere, as well as Into Corea. Corea Is the land of the great est possibilities. 'In China In 1840 there was but pne pro fessed Christian In that vast empire of tOO.GCiO.OOO people. In 1S63 there were 1.000, and today the number exceeds 150,000. More than 50,000 have been converted since the Boxer rebellion. Think what It will be fifty years hence. I believe that not only China, but other nonchristlan nations, will be won for Christ. A rosy ef Martyrs. "During the Boxer uprising US. of our mis sionaries and their children were called as martyrs to Christ's cause. The crusade was not so much against Christians aa against foreigners. But, nevertheless, between SP.OOO and 40.000 Chinese converts also met the death of martyrs because they would nor deny the love of Jesus, who was more than love and life to them. "The Chinese as a people have many noble traits, particularly In the reverence for their parents and the aged. The awaken ing of Japan has awakened China. Schools are being opened, postofflces are being es tablished, telegraph systems ars being In troduced, and 10,000 or U.000 of their best young men are now studying In the best schools of Japan. Their military schools are modeled upon the beet systems of America and Europe. The Chinese army Is being officered by the best military talent available from the military schools of Ger many and elsewhere. "It Is our duty to encourage their friend ship, rather than enmity. The western na tions have awakened their military spirit, though compelling them to pay enormous Indemnities. We have compelled China to organize. Let us Influence them by lead Ing them to love us. Send our best men there to hold up the Christian Ideal life be fore them. The doors of opportunity are now opened and we can go and preach where we wllL- Are we doing what we can? Now U our opportunity. Think of these thlnga I will go back to China In a few days to finish my life there, not that I do not love my native land, but because I believe my greatest duty Is there." Dr. MosTatt aa Corea. Rev. 8. A. Moffatt. D. D., for seventeen years a missionary In Oorea, followed Dr. Hunter Corbett. "It Is a spiritual message I bring you," aid Dr. Moffatt. His address told of the graauai wnnsuanisaiion or Lores, wuicn t he compared as the Judea cf the Orient, and from which may yet spring the evangelisation of China and Manchuria. He said: "Seventeen years ago there was not a professed Christian In Corea. Today nearly 10 per cent of the population of the larger cities are under Christian Influences, snd of eO.UOS people In the city cf Pl-Ang there Is one Christian In each household. There Is a Christian constltutency of WO.ioS people In these three larger cities In northern Corea," He spoke further of the rapidly growing Christlon spirit throughout the kingdom and that native churches were springing up la all quarters, as are schools, all of which is due to Christian Influences rather than the spirit of western civilization. Bew Saaa la Frteaaly. Rev. 8. M. Jordan. D. D., principal of the Presbyterlaa school of Teheran, Persia, spoke at - considerable length upon the strergtb cf the MohameJaa religion. "Persia Is the keystone cf the arch of Ma.honilan lam.'' he said, "a ad If the world la to be won for Christ It must go Into the enemy's country. The Mahometans are great mis sionaries and hsve spread thyr faith Into India where they have 7.Wi"iO devotees, 30.0no.oo0 m China, and many millions In Africa. In Persia, where there are 7.(00. 0u Mahomedana assigned to the Presby terian church, we have but fifteen min isters." He spoke cf the friendliness of the new shah toward the Christians, but not In a way that anything can be hoped from him for assistance In the advancement of the Christian cause. Christ's Appeal t Mea. Another great meeting was held at the Auditorium Wednesday afternoon, with Mr. Robert E. 8 peer as the principal speaker. The subject of his address waa "Christ's Appeal to Men for the World." He spoke of the urgency of the appeal and the Im perative need for a response to that ap peal. "Now la the time of all times to carry the gospel to all the world under the personal leadership of Christ," said he, "and the Inspiration cf our personal rela tionship to Him should excite our every energy and every devotion. Let us go forth with the grasp of His conquering handV Invincible and unconquerable, and we can achieve Impossible things. We are going to stay by the work to the end and carry It through or die In trying. Christ wants Just a few more men to work In His spirit. The moving spirit of missionary work is knowledge. The time Is coming when men will give mlllons of dollars for the evangelization of the world. But It Is not money alone that Is needed, but prayer and obedience. The burden of Christ's ob ligation rests upon the shoulders of all men alike. He demands everything of all; not SO per cent of money, time and life. If any man cometh after Him let him take up the cross of Christ and follow Him. Such Is the divine injunction. We should follow Hlm th Prlt of "" obedience. vnrisia one conaiuon wu uo ye mio an the world.' Some carplsts ask what will happen at home If we let loose all these energies for the evangelization of foreign fields? I will tell you what will happen the spirit ofeGod will come down Into our churches once again. The Galileans were world transforming men. So can we be. Let us fight for Him and bestow upon Him that glorious crown He came for 1.800 years ago. Why not do It new?" Force ef F.dacatloa. T. H. P. Sailer, Ph. D.. educational sec retary of the Presbyterian Board of For eign missions, followed In a brief address upon the theme of "The Inspiration of In formation." In no country In the world has there been given greater gifts for education than In America. The life of our nation depends upon education, and so It will ever be where the government Is by the people. By education they are com petent to govern and govern Intelligently. Despotisms do not desire that the people shall be educated. This Is Illustrated In Russia where, as the people become edu cated, their Ideals differ from those of despotic power. The application can bt made to the old-time churches, which were but oblong boxes with a puppet at one end. With the growth of education the Ameri can people demand an educated church Tet even to this day there Is too much o: a tendency to let the speaker do most ol ' the work, while the audience remains pas- I slve. An educator who does not draw out his pupils Is a failure. Bible study Is the great factor In Christian evangelisation. But too many people put off studying the Bible or study It indifferently. They think It a thing to be done at -any time. A thing that can be done at any time had better never be done at all. Devise some system of Bible study. Devise some sys tem of the study of missions. Some people think that the study of foreign missions Is too vast an undertaking for them and hence do not study It at all. Study the matter of mission work. Do ft systemat ically with others." The Influence of social contagion Is Incalculable. Tou ask, 'What can I do? Go back to your church and organize a small class for training lead ers. Second, when your leaders are trained, give them exercise, and form groups of adults and children and get them inter ested. Third, start In your Sunday school a mission study class, and encourage Bible study. Fourth, extend this work Into other churches. The trouble with we Presby terians Is that we are too autonomous." CoBfereaeee at Ctaareaee. The remainder of the afternoon was given over to missionary conferences at the vari ous churches. The mission study class was the subject of the conference at the Auditorium, with Prof. T. H. P. Sailer-as leader, and J. Dickey Templeton of Bloom lngton. III., as chairman. A conference with theological students was held at the Omaha Theological semi nary, with Rev. -V WHalsey as leader and Prof. M. B. Lowrie as chairman. Aa Interesting conference with missionaries was held at the First Presbyterian church on the subject of China, with President D. R. Kerr of Westminster college, Fulton, Mo., as chairman and Rev. Hunter Corbett and Rev. J. Ashley Fitch as missionaries from that field. The missions of Cores were the subject of an Interesting meeting at Knox Pres byterian church, with Rev. Carey F. Maore of Fulton, III., as chairman and Rev. 8. A. Moffett, missionary for seventeen years In Cores, spoke very Interestingly on mission ary conditions In that kingdom. Japan was the mission subject treated of at Clif ton Hill Presbyterian church, with Rev. J. M. Leonard aa chairman and Rev. James B. Ayres aa the principal speaker. At Westminster church Rev. E. M. Wherry gave an Interesting talk on the subject of "What Should Be Done Immediately for India," with Rev. George H. Simonson of Pueblo, Colo., as the chairman of the meet ing. Ijersla was the theme of the mis sionary conference at Castellar church, with Rev. 8. M. Jordan as the principal speaker and Rev. 8. S. Hllscher as chairman of the meeting. At Dundee church mission aries Rev. W. S. Cunningham and Dr. H. L. Weber spoke on the conditions In Africa. Rev. George M. Colvllle acted1 as chairman. "The Philippines" constituted the subject treattd upon by Dr. J. A. Hall as mis sionary, with Rev. D. G. Montfort of Pueblo, Colo., presiding. At Benson Rev. George C. Lennlngton presided at the con ference, with South America and Mexican missions as the theme.

Jordan, principal of an American school at Teheran, Persia, at the evening session. "We are teaching these Mohammedan chil dren the Christian religion within half a mile of the royal palace and the nobility seems anxious to send their sons to the mission schorl to leam the Christian re ligion. When the school was first estab lished the Mohammedans did not attend, but later came In numbers and last year of TX boys IS were Mohammedans, the sons of princes and cabinet officers and srns of the wealthiest, who are destined to go forth Into the world to work for weal or woe. "They have the pedagogue system there the same as they had In Oreece centuries ago. We do not say a hard word against their prophets, but we put Ood's word Into their hearts so they will not forget It all the days of their life. The moral transfor mation of tho whole lot Is apparent. They have accepted the truths of Christianity: we see them accepting Christianity as the true religion. We tell them there is but one true religion, one way unto God." Mr. Jordan told several of his exper iences with the yeutks of the royal house who attended the school. One boy said: "Mr. Jordan, how do you expect the young men of Persia to have pure hearts when we are not taught that by our religion." "That Is the keynote It Is not In their religion. They now strive for the pure hearts and the right way. Low Ideals hold them In a vice and the men of Christian America can remedy the evil. It Is not a question of what we can do about It. but what will we do about It. May God give us the vlHon to go forward and possess the land for Him." Mr. Jordan will speak at the business men's prayer meeting at noon today In the Pax ton block. What One Catarrh Is Doing. J. Campbell White, field secretary of the United Presbyterian church and secretary of the laymen's foreign movement, speak ing of "What the Men of One Church are Doing," told of the activity In his branch of the church tn the field of foreign' mis sions and very Interestedly gave figures to show how much more could be accom plished by a small effort on the part of many. "The deepest needs of the world are spiritual, the greatest opportunity and all forces are spiritual and the only permanent values In the world are spiritual. Is it a Wonder the Lord said: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God." We brought nothing Into this world and can take nothing out. Men who put money as rapidly as they can spare It Into the transformation of other men's souls are laying up treasures In heaven. One hundred thousand dollars In-! vested and 50,000 heathens professing Jesus Christ Is one record made by one grand man,' a record to be proud of for any giver as the result was marvelous. That may ac complish more than all the llbralries of Carnagle. Christ -recognized but one kind if greatness. His standard was different .'rom the rest of the world. He taught to minister to men a man Is valued by what he Is. How great his helpfulness-1. Christ has given every follower of his a chance to have a world-wide Influence. Are we al lowing Christ to make out of us the great men he wants? No men are made great except in a great cause.- CTirist's great program of redemption offers the opportun ity. For the occupation and evangelization of the field of India the United Presby terian mlssonariea asked for 180 men to carry on the work or one for every 25,000 men. We have aa many volunteers today as we have missionaries. Our church Is now giving about 2 for each member. The Presbyterian church a little less than that and only protectant churches about 50 cents a year. We are seriously considering ask ing $S a year. "Shall we fall to give 10 cents a week to the work of evangelizing the world? Col leges which thought they would get less money because of the gifts going to foreign missions are attracting more attention than ever and receiving larger gifts than ever before. Last year America gave 29,000, 00t and Great Britain the same, and all the rest of the world the t3.0u0.O00. This coun try Is richer than England. Can . this na tion support 25,000 missionaries at an ex pense of $50,000,000 a year? Can we not af ford to give to this service at least a street car fare a week to the evangelization of the world? It Is stated 2260,000,000 Is spent In this country on churches each year and 29.000,000 went to foreign missions. In view of this fact that America must take the primary part In the evangelization of the ' world, the ratio for foreign missions Is not right. I think all should give 25 per cent of all you give to churches to the work of foreign missions. We are investing our Uvea here which Is a larger matter than our money. The cheapest thing you can give is money." Mighty Men of Missions. Rev. R. F. Coyle. D. D.. pastor of the Central Presbyterian church of Denver and ex-moderator of the general assembly, was the last speaker of the evening and was assigned the theme, "Men of Might in Mis sions." In a most eloquent address Mr. Coyle led his hearers along the path of dynamics, showing there was but one all Impelling force and that. Jesus Christ. The mighty men of missions of whom he spoke were Paul, Carey and Livingston. He said: v "The ability to do Is the main thing and power la back of it, and will avails nothing without the power to run It. Power Is the fundamental base of religion and espe cially In the work of evangelising the world. There are the vested Interests of mlllenlums of heathenism to deal with. These are In front, but what are the foes In the rear? They are the vices of civiliza tion. In the front our representatives are trying to evangelise the Filipinos, only to find the work made bard by our own sol diers. ' "Rationalism, and scepticism send their books to pagan lands and put weapons In the hands of the enemy. What force shall we put against these? A force has been furnished In the person of Jesus Christ. We can draw on this force. In every direction 4 wa are aa Biruue aa uiv ming 10 wmcn wv attach ourselves. If we are In a prairie schooner we have not the power we would have If tn a vestlbuled train. Fjjatlrne can only be made of things or powers which, are equal. The force of Christ sends Its thrill all over this country and to all parts of the world. The power which can bring men together snd keep them together for ages Is worth thinking about. Where are the men who would die for the great heroes of history, and yet that Is what they are doing today for the ,Lord Jesus Christ when they go to the Jungles of India. They are bolstered tip by the force of the love of God. There Is no dynamic In the cold statement of truth. No victories are gained by libraries of words, but by men with flaming hearts. Truth that is not felt can no more thrill the people than can a stone Image. If there Is no shout of a king tn our midst there can be no spoils and no victory. The early disciples haTi come to the point where God was not with them He was In them. Feeling Is no proof of the truth. It -may accompany error. Tbe truth cannot be a force unless It Is felt. To feel is to be awake, to have every fiber throb with energy. Eliminate feeling from the pulpit and you have December all the year around. Pant Greatest of Missionaries. "The Christian's power chrystallzee Into service. I name Paul first because he was first. Civilisation came Into Europe with the landing of the boat which brought him across the sea. His activities are Innumer able and his tireless feet were everywhere. Were there no Paul Who can measure where the world would be tonight? The power of Jesus Christ behind him was his force. 'I can do all things through Christ' Wil liam Carey was a second man of might a shoemaker brooding In his shop, and he began to talk and preach about missions. He was squelched by his elders, but nothing could stop him when God was pro pelling him. " 'I go down Into the pits and you must hold the ropes," he said to his comrades at home. He went. At the end of seven years his first convert Is made, but he tolls on translating the gospel and tries tq change the terrible laws. The doga of war are against him, but he tolls on and gave the impulse which Is now bearing fruit through a thousand missions In all parts of the world today. He labored there for forty years and died. "To these men of might I add another David Livingston. He went to Africa to a career which can never go Into eclipse while the world stands. It was the will of divine providence that he should ex pose slavery. " 1 am resolved to open a path through this country or perish.' was his message. He fought fever, wild beasts, serpents, files, hostile natives. He held on until at last a poor, ragged skeleton, he came In sight of the Atlantic ocean strapped to an or. "He was an educated man. Think of such a man dying for the black man. pierced by pain until Stanley comes, butvhe will not return home, for there he stayed and his last words were a prayer for Africa snd as loag as the waves beat the shores of that land they will continue to sing a song to David Livingston. "He traveled 29.000 miles and a visit to Cambridge was a revelation and thousands were anxious to follow In the path he had blazed. When the balance ,1a struck it will be found these knights of the cross have been more potent than all the knights of commerce. We, too. may be men of might In this greatest campaign which God has ever looked down upon. God Is limited In the exercise of His power by the tools at His command. Let us lay all the man hood we have upon the altar and we will be vested with a power which will make the angels sing." It was announced the Milwaukee train which Is to carry most of the delegates east will be held tonight until 11 p. m. A oorrection Is also asked to be made by Dr. Burdlck In that the local committee Is not asked to bear all the expenses of the con vention, but simply the hall rent and some local expenses. The expenses of the con vention are to be met by the Board of Foreign Missions. . A communication was received from the Omaha Christian Endeavor union, com mending the convention on the stand It has taken and also praying the spirit of Inter denominational union might be strength ened, i Veterans Being Receive!.
