Viceroys Beg For Restriction of Opium Traffic. Four Chinese viceroys, representing two million people, have begged that negotiations be opened with the Brit- ish minister in Pekin. for adoption of an opium monopoly in China, and the gradual reduction of the importation of Indian opium. - These viceroys plead that China can never hope to stand alongside Western nations until her peo- ple give up opium, since one-quarter in number of the men have been affected by its use.and ruin often follows to them and their families. The plan is to get rid of the worst evils of opium by gradual curtailment in importation and home culture. Great Britain has a splendid qpportunity of showing herself the true friendiof China, and better still of removing one of the darkest blots on her policy and honor. She unquestion- ably fastened the evil on the celestial cmpire in the opium wars and by per- sistent policy of non-interference. An average of ten tons daily is landed from India, and this open port of introduc- tion neutralizes all attempts at stopping { interior culture. Japan on the other hand, allows an importation of only half a ton yearly, for medicinal pur- poses, and punishes those who indulge in smoking the drug. Japan is also re- forming Formosa, in this line. In England four societies have lately been formed to protest against condi- tions' and agitate for Britain's reclama- tion from support of an immoral traf- fic. In Toronto lately a meeting for protest and' appeal was addressed by Chancellor Burwash, Revds. Dr. kay and Potts, Rev. Messrs. Winchester and Brown, Messrs. Hoyles and Pense. The people, have not known their coun- try's culpability, the depth of this evil, the degradation it brings and the num- ber of victims, over 45,000,000 smokers, with at least 00,000,000 depending upon them. Indeed, literature in libraries treats those who object 'as fanatics. Three of the speakers above mentioned have been missionaries in India or China, and gave effecting testimony of wholesale demoralization and counter- acting of evangelistic effort. The commercial forces have hitherto stifled moral and religious impulses. But the tide is turning even in trade circles. Several United States cham- Roosevelt to intercede with the British government for united suppression of the traffic and indulgence, since it im- poverishes millions@yearly and thus re- duces the volume of trade. To do something towards bridging the gulf between rich and poor, the Church Army in England has established a re- smarikables ozganisation called the League of Friends of the Poor. Pews Carry A Vote.

The History of the Church is Punctured With Intensely Dramatic and Bitter Fights-- Houghton: the Founder. New York's Trinity deserves.a better fate than to be known popularly as the wealthiest church and the one at the head: of Wall street." It should be hailed the length ahd breadth of the land ' as the mother of churches. Its great work has been that of found- ing churches and insuring them ample income forever, and of supporting other churches in their struggling days. To give the names of the parishes through- out New York state aided by Trinity re- quires fourteeri pages in a large octavo volume. St. George's, New York, was Trinity's second chapel of ease; Grace church was a child of Trinity, since it started on jts career with a large en-. dowment; and in Trinity parish are eight chapels, so-called, each one a church in reality. Of these chapels, St. Paul's is almost as famous as the mother. Five were founded since the present rector became the head of the corporation in 1862. In education Trin- | ity has been a great influence. King's College (now Columbia University) was mothered by Trinity, the corporation providing the college with its first en- dowment -- and an ample one it was. Mae- | bers of commerce have asked President | bought and sold 'by auction, just like a | owners for the time being a legal right | elections. | pair of the sacred edifice, and could find | art, tonight | Trinity College, Hartford, was practical- {ly founded-on grants from Trinity; Ho- | bart College owes its affluence to the, same source; Trinity's system of par- | ish schools, started in 1835, are reckoned | among the best in the metropolis; the! | General Theological Seminary was { planned in Trinity church and liberally | endowed by .one of its parishioners; | Trinity School is Trinity's work, 'and {ion and Teaching was instituted | liberally endowed by Trinity. | The grant to the corporation of | Trinity of the historic Queen's Farm , broad charity of the church is ever be- was the foundation on which the greater | ing told with countless variations, | Trinity has been built. Before the city ! { had grown so far north as to need the ary of the Assistant Minister (afterward rector) and he withdrew. This was in 1770, sixty-five voars after Anneke Jans Bogardus' acres had come into possession of parish by way of the crown. But long-headed chaps. ings lay. So Trinity struggled on fo make both ends meet until it would re- alize on its grant, which had been con- around the opening of the in the city's future began to be upheld, | and from 1803, marking the creation of | St. John's. chapel, date stupendous ac- | tivities. | The history of the church is punctu- { ated with intensely dramatic and bitter fights. The handful of men instrumen- tal in the parish's founding had to wage determined battle to keep a dissenter from being called to minister to the col- ony. Royalist and loyalist clashed in and about the church during the Revolu- tion, and once rector Inglis persisted in reading the stated prayers for. the king ' | and the royal family in the presence of one hundred and fifty American soldiers who, with bayonets fixed, had marched threateningly into the "center of trea- | son" as the church was frequently call- ed. Numerous efforts were made to cut streets through the churchyard, and ! to add to their arguments against one of these attempts the corporation erect- led in the path of the proposed street the brown stone monument to the Revo- lutionary dead that towers over all oth- ers in the churchyard. Then there is the series of legal bat- tles over Queen's Farm, dating back to the days of the second rector, Henry Barclay. A little over ten years ago, ! the corporation was being soundly be- rated for maintaining unsanitary tene- ments; since then, however, the parish has been noticeably free from attacks within and without, making the decade one of the most peaceful in its history. | Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix said at the parish bicentennial celebration in 1897: "On the whole, we have come out trium- phant in every battle we have had to fight; we expect the same results in others which may hereafter evoke our power and summon us to defence." Borrowed moncy built the sccond church in 1788. At the time that the Anncke Jans Bogardus Farm was grant- ed to the parish, it was worth but $3,- 000. The bell that for eight years called worshippers to the second church, was | loaned to the corporation by the | Lutheran Church. After the Révolu- | tion the church was looked on as "a picce of heavy baggage which the Brit- ish had left behind when they evacu- ated New York," and the church's own rector (Bishop Provost, an ardent pat- riot) doubted that it would survive the generation. Grace's third rector was Rev. Dr. Jonathan M. Wainwright, who*had been 'Jief -- "you might go to ! titude before the Rev.

He was strong in the belief that "the.mainten ance of a decorous membership and th ministrations of religion merely to its own people" did not constitute a church's - full duty, but included "en- deavors for the ignorant and uncared for without." So he opened a free school, | which was kept up until tlie extension of | the public school system in 1828 To- | day, the church's outside activities em- { brace practical scliools for boys, girls « and women, day nurseries, gymnasiums, kindergartens, clubs for - all ages and several nationalities, libraries and read- ing rooms, a laundry, carc of the sick in Grace Hospital and elsewhere, house to house ministration, and fresh air work. y It was Grace Church under Wain- wright which did away with the parish j cloth, thereby causing American Episco- | palians to take a prominent part in the | service. ' At this time, too, Grace was started on her enviable musical career. To-day this reputation lasts, many per- i sons travelling distances that they may Kear the trained choir of boys -- train- | ed mentally. morally and physically as | well as musically, by the corporation in what is known as the choir boys' school. | Grace Church was organized in 1808 { with a Trinity endowment of twenty- ! five lots (then , worth' $66,000) and | cash, $4,700. With this as a nest egg, | Grace has made out exceedingly well, now being one of the wealthiest church- es in America. Its congregation ranks among the richest, and most liberal in | the land. Yet, powerful, wealthy and steeped lin history and tradition as these two churches are, neither can boast of a fame as universdl as that of a cerfain unostentatious church in existence only long enough to have had two rectors-- one dead, after a work" of forty-nine years; the other now in his ninth year of service. "And the greatest of these is charity." Therein lies the why of this structure's fame, which sprang from a simple, gracious act of its rector in 1871, when George Holland, the actor, died in New York. Joseph Jefferson and Holland had been bosom friends and cronies. So the widow telegraphed Mr. Jefferson, and he, breaking an en- gagement, travelled to New York to arrange for the funeral. Learning that Mrs. Holland preferred to have her hus- band buried from the Church of the Intercessor Mr. Jefferson called on the pastor, Rev. Dr. Sabine. "I shall be pnly too glad to officiate" was his as- surance. Formalities attended to, Jef- ferson and young Holland were leaving when the former, as an afterthought, said: "Perhaps I ought to tell you that Mr. Holland. wes an Por Sai "Oh! the ev. Dr. ine, with a Took akin to holy horror, "that makes a great difference. 1 really couldn't officiate. I have been preach- ing against the stage and actors," Mr. Jefferson was nonplussed and replied: "I am extremely sorry. I--I don't know what to do." I am, indeed, surprised at your attitude. -Can you not tell me what I can do?" . "Why, yes," said Dr. Sabine -- pre- sumably he drew a long breath of re- that * little church around 'the corner. The 'rector will bury your dead and ask no ques- tions." Were you ever fortunate enough to see Joe Jefferson make his all-includ- ing bow? Then picture him in this at- he answered: "All honor to the rector of that little church around the corner! To him I will go!" And, there he went, and when the rec- tor of tha® Church of the Transfigura- know that he is dead, and will bury him." The story which illustrates the Rev. Dr. George H. Houghton, who buried George Holland, was the founder It had its beginning in end of the nave, was consecrated. Thus, un- ly natural for the rector to act as he did. No one was more surprised than the good rector himself, when his deed, news and later persons of almost every walk in life. They still come across seas and con- tinents to be wedded in the Little Church Around thé Corner. That would be counted a poor day when ten weddings at least were not performed. The rec- tor and three curates are always busy marrying and burying and dispensing alms; for, they give services to all who apply, and let the Master pass judgment on the acts of all. Rev. Dr. G. C. Hough- ton the first. It was, indecd, a little church when "Joe" Jefferson first directed his foot- steps toward it. Now it has been so add- ed to that it can comfortably accommo- date twelve hundred worshippers. In- it rambles over its plot of ground; a low standing structure of quaint architecture with little lawn of green, trees with their bird cotes, splash- ing fountain and lich gate, suggest "the setting of an English village rather than a new world metropolis" Once the church interiorly was as plain as its chocolate painted brick exterior. Lat- terly so many memorials have been plac- ed in it that it can vie with any church in America in richness of decoration. At the rate that new. memorials are being added it will not be long before the in- terior is made up of memorials and naught else. These memorials are mute proof of deep affection and the memorial window to Edwin Booth speaks volumes of the attitude of acter folk the world over. -- The Parish Boycott. The case of another boycotted Eng lish rector has come to light This time in the pleasant hamlet of Holton, in East Somerset Scenes recalling those enacted at Stoke Lyne have oc- curred in the parish church, where for nearly five years Rev. Joseph Sorrell has Sunday by Sunday preached to empty pews. Holton parish church stands on the slopes of the vale of Blackmore, in which the opening scenc of "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" is laid The grass in the churchyard is never cut; weeds have almost obscured the gravel path; the organ has. been silent for years. Only the church bell speaks out to an unheeding people. The rector declares that the boycott set in early in his ministry because of personal preju- dice. The' le say he insulted them in hi They may have needed lecturing--we all do at times--but they were not obliged to take it and seized on their pri » of staying away. There are too many deserted services. While ringing the church bell for service, Rev Clifton Dunn, vicar of Dunton-cum Doughton, enham, Norfolk, fell dead. .The only one who came to ser- vice was a lady, and she was shocked to find him senseless - The National Missionary Society, formed in India, is to have native offic- ers use Indian money, take into service really spiritual men and women, and give attention to neglected parts of the vast country.

The Pub- 1 THE MISSIONARY'S HANDICAP ~ He Goes Through Three Stages of Feeling, The missionary in India seems to pass through three stages. When he enters the ficld all is pew and hopeful; he be- lieves much that he hears and writes home enthusiastically regardiv those about to become Christians; These de- ceive him in great measure, and in the second stage he swings to an op- posite spirit and feels that the heathen are not worth ing. But in time comes the settled stage, when he feels he was there just because these people are uninspired to truth, conscience and manfulness, and because they need the gospel. Industrial missions have tested and not exalted the Hindoos. , The boys and girls of the independent grades will not do the slightest manual labor in the institutions giving them board and ed- ucation. Servants clean the rooms, cook the food, wash the clothes and cleanse the bodies of the girls. Boys will leave when asked to do ordinaty services about the house. The rule there is that if one has a good education he is too good to be reduced to the drudgery of hands. The famine of 1897 made thousands of orphans, and from their re- ception emanated the only successful in- dustrial schools. Caste made itself felt sadly in the famine rescue. While Eu- ropeans worked month in and month out, native converts refused to stoop 10 such work even for humanity's sake. But the discouraging. facts throw into brighter light the patient, self-denying of the missionaries, a sign of the deep spirituality and devotion which distin- guishes the Christian. » HOW, WHEN AND WHERE ?
