About Prominent PeOple at the Recent Epworth League Rally splendid altruism perVades and dig- nifies the champion of ideas. Not until everybody else holds them too; is he satisfied. Every man believes that his doctrine is the whole World'- need, and that only acceptance by the whole world can give the doc- trine it‘s merited distinction. This is especially true of religious ideas and doctrines, because in the minds of their advocates. by the acâ€" ceptance or rejection of these doct- rines do men determine their well- being, not. in this life alone, but in a. life to come. Hence universality is the dream of every religionist, (on his faith. â€"- _ . - . o , _-- -_-m ECHOES OF THE CONVENTION has escayed many a. struggle with the syllogism, many a. doufie with the logic of the situation, that many another man with a more judicial and critical turn of mind has been wearicd and battled by.

Action leaves little time for logic ; and af- ter all there are often more import- ant things to do than solving an equation. Dr. Stephenson was usually about some of them. The writer knew him at college: he was a good deal better mission- ary than mathematician then. He found getting even the more recreant collegiwis to class-meeting a. good deal easier task than putting the 5th proposition of Eudid on the black- board : and likely now if he can get the fellow to class-meeting he is willing to let the Pons Assinorum look aft-er itself. “Steve," as he was known to the boys, often for- sook the conflict with Virgil for that wi'h some wayward lad. Next day in class he made sorry work of tran- slating the Latin, but no doubt, he had interpreted greater things to the object of his solicitude. Not do- bate but persuasion was his means 2 an arm over the shoulder was more than assault upon the intellect. All the boys knew that “Steve" has a good fellow with a better pursuiti than most of themselves, and they are not surprised to find him where he is today, leader of the Forward Movement and. assistant missionary secretary of the Mouist church. then as simple folio has always heal the fatal mistake of the missionary. Those who shared that delusion and heard the aforesaid heathen discourse at the Parliament of Religions at Chi- cago during the World's Fair. havel had their ideas pretty thoroughly 0%} erhauled; for no more agile mental; acrobats stood on the platform of‘ that famous gathering than your simple Asiatic heathen. That very mental ability renders him an im- portrait capture, as Mr. Hiraiwahas certainly proved during his 26 yeaes of allegiance to’ Christianity. The marking-time performance of the mis- sion enterprise in the past has like- ly arisen from the fact that ineffi- cient missionaries have been furnish- ing the natives with amusement rath- cr than conviction. The style of men that are of late years going abroad justifies the hope that anew era has tegun. And yet even Dr. Stephenson must be careful not to too often grow eloquent over the hunger of the Chinese for the gospel, and beg for money, in the same disâ€" course : for what the Chinese want so badly, they are quite able to pay for. _____+_______ mum MW!)

In this work he has been preâ€"eminently sucâ€" cessful, and all the more because of the able assistance of his clever wife who, also a, medical graduate and a. candidate for the loreign field, is an able lieutenant in her husband’s work.

Rev. Mr. Steinhauer who spoke on Monday night, is a. scion of the noble red man, a son of the prairie, brothâ€" er to the bison, and like them, a. member of a. disappearing race that once peopled a continent. His foreâ€" '-â€" . ~ . fathers were the only heathen worship the “Unseen God” ; without intervening symbol, th¢ dian bowed down to the ( Spirit. Mr. Steinhauer is a, scholar, a. graduate of Victoria University and an ordained minister of the Metho- dist church and the son and brother of ministers. With the vigor and astutcness of his race and the pol- ish and culture of the collegian, Mr. Steinhauer procliams the gospel by which his forefathers were called from heathendom. With the power of soug for which his race is famous, this oll'spring of savagry mightily supplements eloquence and logic in his romantic ministry. ary work in Japan. He is the most sensational product of the Christian campaign that the Flowery King- dom has yet produced. A man of culture, and as he himself says, a stu- ot' the sciences before he was a Christian, the virility aggressiveness and independence of his thought in his Monday night’s address marked him as the equal in these respects of the men who taught him the gos- pel. His stinging reference to the first Christian teacher he heard, who talked as if addressing children ought to be a, poignant suggestion to those who go to the foreign field.
