Dr. Carman conducted the devoâ€" tional exercises at the afternoon session. Mr. N. W. Rowell, K. C., occupieg the chair, and every seat in the vast buildâ€" ing was oceupied, whilst many stood around the wall. A pleasing break in the afternoon specches was the singing in the naâ€" tional Punjaub tongue of the evangelica) hymn, "Victory for Jeaus," by Mr. and Mre, Byers, missionaries trom Bengal. THE AWAKENING OF THE ORIEXT. "Fifteen years ago," said Mr. Robert E. Speer, in introducing his subject, "The Awakening of the Orient," "the most authoritative book on the people and the politics of the people of the fat east was a work by Mr. Menry Norman. It was a depressing picture of the torâ€" por and stagnation of the Oriental peoâ€" ple. A few years later Mr. Meredith Thompaon, the editor of the Friend of India, published a collection of his es says on castern life under the title of ‘Asia and Europe,/ in which he conâ€" eluded that the Asiatic races had exâ€" hausted themselves, and that an unâ€" bridgeable chasm existed between the east and the west which made the east impervious to western civilization, ‘Toâ€" day we are facing a condition of affairs quite in contrast to all that was then depicted. Four simple facts will show the changes which have taken place. The first is the great exodus of Asiatie stuâ€" dents to the colleges of Europe and North America. Eight thousand from China, one thousand from Corea, and one thousand from India, they are now in other lands learning the principles o western civilization. Secondly, 1 merâ€" tion the great internal tumult all over Asia assailing the old political ideas and demandeci the privileges of demoâ€" eratic and populur government, Thirdly ~â€"and this is of no consequence in itself â€"â€"the readiness of large numbers _ of Many Prominect Mea Deliver Ferâ€" vent Addresses. ‘ke an arms with banners waving, the great Nationnl â€" Missionary congress which opened i2 Massey lall on Wed nesday, yesterday moved on in its camâ€" paign and took up an advanced position "A national debt in China of £254, 000,000 has made a golden bond with western peoples,. All this speaks to us of a great industrial awakening, an awakening which was inevitable becanse our own civilization had annihilated the old Asiatic trades, and it was nevessary for them to work up new industries in order to preserve the balance of trade. What will it mean to the west when the awakening of the east is complete? With all the great resources of the east, with a teeming population constituting the cheapest of cheap labor at her disâ€" posal, it will mean something to the west. In that day the west may well wonder in whose hands the industrial future of the world has been placed. We will need all our protective tariffs in that day if we are to hold our own industrially against the awakened east." The ery of Asia for the Asiaties, Mr. Speer proceeded, was being reâ€" placed hy Japan for the Japanese, China for the Chinese,. _ How â€" could we be surprised at this when we ourselves were â€" shouting Canada â€" for the Canadians, and trying to keep out our brethren? Toronto despateh: With the certain measure of victory in their movements, on the field of missionary enthusiasm. Having for its theme "The Victorious Progress of Missions," the congress li«â€" tened to truly remarkable addresses in the afternoon,â€"and then passed on to the consideration of "The Place of the Church in the Making of the Nation." In the annals of a l great movements it is rarely given for four thousand men of substance and moral responsibiliâ€" ty to conier with men picked from among the world‘s leaders upon quesâ€" tions demanding infinite tact and intiâ€" mate undentnihg. The temper of the meeting was finely drawn by Mr. J. A. Macdonald at the close of the evening‘s session. In declaring the evidences for a new order of things in worldâ€"politics, he said: "We are talking of Dreadâ€" noughts, it is true, but this is the tokâ€" en: that we say ‘Yes, to the last farâ€" thing in defence of the things we stand by, but not one copper for exploitation or conquest."" _ The interruptions of applause at the words stopped for a moment the progress of the speech, Asiatic people to adopt the western atyle of dress. 1 think they had better have kept to their own styles, but it shows in a remarkable way their changâ€" ed readiness to adopt the western ideas. The Awakening of the East the Great Theme Yesterday MISSIONARY CONVENTION. And, lastly, there is the thunderous clamor of Asiatic multitudes at our doors. "I have overeome the world," was Christ‘s words, and that dated the day of â€" our victory," said _ Bishop Thoburn, of India, whose theme was "The Sure Victory." He went on to say in part that when in 1859 he went to India a very young man he found some of the precepts of Christianâ€" ity taught but not understood by the natives, He found that the natives were ready to take for granted the fact of the creation, and the sovereignty of God, but if he began to argue about these things they were prepared to argne, too. No doubt im lost valuable time in endeaâ€" voring to explain the fact of the risen Saviour. _ He no doubt was at times a little timid when standing up to speak to the people near the bazaars or â€" elsewhere. He, however, rememâ€" bered that the Saviour was standing beside him and ready to atrengthen and encourage him. _ When after five years of incessant labor he went bick to his home with his motherless chilâ€" dren to be cared for he had to contoss with some trepidation that he had only h"u '.i'. '.'ff": ho oys c niad q t Continuing, Bishop Ihoburn Told 0" the life of the average Indian, of the smaliness of the income, of the fact that many of them lived on the verge of starvation, God meant His people to be above starvation, ind the plan of Christianity was to save these people. _ At rn«ont the average con versions in â€" India were over fortyâ€"six per day. _ They should aim at a iilâ€" lion â€" converts, and then there would le two hundred and ninety and nite millions to convert. _ It looked a big task, but it could be done. He told how the first lady doctor had come to India, and â€"how ~Lord. Dufferin, then Vieceroy, had so splendidly supported the movement. _ "And now," he said, "i{ I went back to India L would find ton thousand edueated, trained Christian native women ready to aid and help in every way the Ouristian chureh, as they Ralph Comnor and Others. RISHOP THOBURX overeome â€" the world," was words, and that dated the our victory," said _ Bishop of India, whose theme was rfi;l'bnp Thoburn told of the â€"average Indian, of 'fi.-‘z.‘-'-v 2 Tu ker "Islam is the greatest of all the nonâ€" Christian religions in its missionary spirit and defiant attitade toward Chrisâ€" tianity.

With the singing of that â€" splendid, stirring hymm _ of Isaac Watts, "Oh, God, our Help in Ages Past," and with a strong, carnest prayer by the Rev. F. B. Dua Val, D. D., of Winâ€" nipeg, the evening session of the Conâ€" gress . was opened, Mr. Rowell presidâ€" ing. _ The Rev. Canon L. Norman Tucker was the first speaker, his speech having been transferred _ from the â€"afternoon. A message _ from Hon,. 8. Blake, who was to have spoken on "Our Duty to the Indian," was read expressing regret at being unable to be present, and saying "Let us still do our duty to our _ red brethâ€" ren, and let us at this time extend our operations on their behalf." Rev. Canon Tucker spoke on "Canâ€" ada‘s Debt to the Missionary," sayâ€" ing in part that it might be assumed that Canada was row a nation. _ She was in possession of all the chief atâ€" tributes of nationhood. _ She was free. She was selfâ€"governing; and, what was more, she felt within her the stirrings, the ambitions, the hopes of national life. There is in every Canadian breast an ardent Tove of freedom, coupled with the qualities that fit men to enjoy its benefits and to discharge its obligations. But more fundamental is the love of truth and right. _ There is ingrained in the fibre of the people a love of order and a respect for law. Everyone feels that the native _ Inâ€" dians of Canada have a special claim on us; for we have inherited this great country from them, and we have deâ€" prived them of their livelihood, and too often demoralized _ them _ with _ our whiskey, our diseases, and our vices. Again, it is the missionaries who have enabled us as a nation to discharge onur debt to the Indian. They followed him within the Arctic circle and to the shores of the Aretic sea to give him the bread of life. And the result has been that the relations between the Indiaas and _ the Government of Canada have been relations of unbroken peace. were actually doini now, and we call this the day of small things." Rev, 2. M. Zwemer, F. R. G. 8. of Arabis, speaking of the impact of Christianity on the nonâ€"Christian re ligions, said in part: "The impact of Christianity on the nonâ€"Christian reli« gions began nineteen eentusies ago, and will not cease until the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of the Lord and of His Christ. This impaet has gathered _ momentum _ and _ strength throughout the centuries. Never before was this impact so woridâ€"wide and with such strencth "Our Debt to the Englishâ€"speaking and European Settlers‘‘ was the subâ€" ject of the address by the Rev. C. W. Gordon, D. D. ("Ralph Connor‘). _ He began by a brief reference to the magniâ€" tude of the great west, pointing out that until a few years ago the general opâ€" inion was that the west was just a strip of land lying north of the internationâ€" al boundary. Now they knew that away . to the north 600 or even 800 miles heâ€" | youd the former supposed nortbhern fer~‘ tile belt lay a great country more ferâ€". tile than any ever dreamed of. Iuto this great land there had come during the past few years nearly 900,000 Englishâ€" speaking people, about 300,000 of whom were formerly United States citizens. A Senator at Washington _ had asked if these United States citizens did not hope some day to secure the annexation _ of Canada to the United States, and anâ€" other Senator said that he believed that was so. The speaker said he was sorry to have to shatter such a dream, for these people were loyal Canadians, and the day had gone by forever for any person or people to sell Canada. He felt that the Government should try and adopt some plan to keep in touch with the immigrant _ from _ the moment he left his own home till he was settled on the land, for the danâ€" ger to Canada was in the people who drifted into the city, and not from those who settie on the land. _ But what is the Christian Church going to do with these people?t The _ Church should meet them, care for them, and endeavor to get them to drink in the spirit of Jesus Christ. _ The Church ishould really take charge of these Englishâ€"speaking peoples from the moâ€" ment they left their English, Scoteh 'aml frish homes until they were settled here. Turning to the foreigners coming in, Dr. CGordon said that in the last couple of years over 300,000 _ people had arrived in this country who could not speak the English language, What must we do for them? Some were for keeping them out of our land altoâ€" gether; but this matter had already been settled for us by two facts. First, we â€" needed them . because _ they _ did work for us that Canadians were not willing to do themselves, such as the laboring on railroad building, ete. The Galicians on the farm made very good citizens, and their children wm:’zl also grow up good citizens, but in the citiea they were very dangerous, Necessary to deal with them was a striet, wise and earcful administration of the law. We should aiso make our schools accesâ€" sible to them and to their children. We should endeavor to instill into them the making of homes. "The Dean of Missionary Secretaries" was how the Chairman introduced the Rev. Dr. Alexander Sutherland, General Secretary of Methodist Missions, whose subje:t was "Our Duty to the Asiatic." D:. Sutherland pointed out that in Canâ€" ada there wereâ€" about 18,500 Chinese, 16,000 Japanese and 5,000 Hindus, This was about twoâ€"thirds of 1 per cent. of the population, surely _ not a serious watter, but they were mostly settled in one Province, and they were looked on as the advance * guard of a great army of others, who would come unless strict measures were taken to prevent it, Organized labor saw danger in this, OUR DEBT TO THE SETTLERS OUR DUTY TO THE ASIATIC, & VOICE FROM ARABIA London, Aprl _ 5.â€"The Standard of Empire announces that the prize of $100 offered by the Navy League of Canada for the best essay on the quesâ€" tion, "Shall Canada Have a Navy of Her Own*" has been _ awarded _ to Mrs. W. Hews Oliphant, 210 Simeoe Civilization." Commencing, he said that a truth which had for too long heer overlooked â€" by the Church was the idea that Christianity had to do noi merely with individuals and with salvation into the afterâ€"world, but also with the social fabric and with the institutions _ of _ civilized _ life under which we lived. _ The subject also sugâ€" gested that all the interests and o°â€" cvpations of men, both individual and social, were to be brought into subjecâ€" tion to the mind and motive of Josus Christ, Ed NAVY LEAGUE PRIZE. Mrs. W. Hews Oliphant, of Toronto Wins $400. Mrs, W. Hews Oliphant, 210 Simeoe street, Toronto. _ Mrs, Oliphant holds that Canada should have a navy of her own, which, on the one hand, "should not be a more toy," but, on the other hand, not "a fleet of Dreadnoughts." She submits a proposal to prove how such a fleet ean be established, manned and eventually made efficient for the protection of the sea gates of Canada. Two interesting features of the proâ€" posal are the establishment of a Canaâ€" dian volunteer naval force, a naval colâ€" lego, and the subsidizing of merchant eruisers available for use in war. Mis. Oliphant advocates thorough coâ€"operaâ€" tion with the Imperial navy, but mainâ€" tains that each dominion _ or _ colony in the empire should deal with its own naval problems and from its own standâ€" point. C e ndna l on e Nearly seven hundred _ Presbyterian laymen and six hundred _ Presbyterian elirgymen had registered at the Prosâ€" byterian offices up to 10 o‘clock â€" last night. tee The first duty to the Oriental was to give him a square deal, for he has a right to seck a home in any country, just as natives of other lands have. The Hindua, who is a British subject, surely had the right to come to a Britâ€" ish dominion. _ When Britain, France, and the United Stated demanded admisâ€" sion to China and Japan they forgot that in opening a way into these counâ€" tries, sometimes with cannon, a way out was also opened. If the coming of these Asiaties had _ created a problem, that problem should be met and _ solved. These peoples from the cast were huâ€" man beings, and were as capable of beâ€" coming useful citizens as were the im« migrants of any other land. CHRISTIANIZING CIVILIZATION, Mr. J. A. Macdonald, the last speakâ€" er of the evening, took as his subâ€" jeet, "The Christianizing _ of â€" Our Civilization." Commencing, he said that a truth which had for too long The Canadian Council of the Laymen‘s Missionary Movement tendered a lunchâ€" econ yesterday at noon in the King Edâ€" ward to Sir Andrew Fraser and to the members of the International Commitâ€" The Methodists had a total registraâ€" tion exceeding that even of the Presbyâ€" tcrians, and they believed that by noon toâ€"day there _ would _ be at least two thousand delegates from then Canadian cirenits. and not only here, but elsewhers thcl ery had gone up that this should be "a m m white man‘s country." | ‘ S d __ me sous > _ {WIFE‘S MOTHER. _The first duty to the Oriental was to The special committee which decided the prize essay competition had no idea that the successful competitor was a woman until after the award had been made, The nnm-de-lnlmm: "Dreadnought" was found to be that of Mrs, Oliphani.

Fraser Tells of Necessity for the Workâ€"Mr. Robert Speer Also Delivers a Fine Addressâ€"Great Gathering of Women. * A Toronto despatch: The visison of a world, one in the worship . of Christ, which is the beaconâ€"star of the true misâ€" sionary spirit, has seldom received in Toronto a more convineing proof of the possibility of its ultimate . realization than in the enormous crowds of women who yesterday afternoon filled Convocaâ€" tion Hall to overflowing to listen to addresses given by Sir Andrew Fraser and Mr. Robert E. Speer concerning the spiritual and intellectual needs of women in other and less favored lands. When the chairman, Dr. J. B. Willmott, introâ€" duced Sir Andrew Fraser, former Lienâ€" tenantâ€"Governor of Bengal, a stir of expectancy went through the building. His address, delivered in simple, effective words, made a profound impression. To give his audience a more vivid impresâ€" sion of the life, the cireunmstances and conditions which make a specia!l mission to the women of India necessary, Sir Andrew drew a representative picture of a visit paid to an intelligent Indian gemâ€"| tleman of position, the head of a houseâ€". hold. He would drive up to the front. of a great gate, where his host would come to receive him, taking him by the hand and leading him gently and most respectfully up to and through the gate into a public reeeption room, where he would be seated on a very _ elaborate chair covered by gold or silver eloth. After discussing business he would be introduced to the family, all exeept the oklâ€"fashioned Hindoo houses the Zenana whom he counld not possibly see. There would be bright little girls and boys, but no girls above the ages of ten or twelve. The sons of all ages he could see, but after ten or twelve the bright and cheery little girls whom he saw would pass beâ€" hind the inner gaté, no more to particiâ€" pate in or witness the doings of the larger world withouwtâ€" the Zenana. In the oldâ€"fashioned Hindo houses the Zenana is built with wirlows clese to the roof, so that it is impossible for, the ladies to look out fmm‘gnir section into the ‘neighboring parts m its appurtenanees.

Beâ€" fore that eonl:ehe or Mfin l: mt:l change must wrought the men outlook of the Zenana lady, and that could only be done through the instruâ€" mentality of the Zenana missionary. THE RESTLESS MULTITUDES. Mr. Speer said that the great impresâ€" sion carried away by ever a random traveller in castern lands was the great multitudes of the people. _ ‘Ihe second impression was the tone of _ melancholy that lies across their lives. In his memâ€" ory of them he constantly heard the note of sadness thronghout all their song, in their wedding music, as well as in their dirges, ‘The depression of the nonâ€"Chrisâ€" lian world, he thought, was due to two eauses: The first was the smallness of the life which hems in most of the woâ€" men. Te had onee asked a congregation of highly cultivated, intelligent Japanese gentliemen what had most appealed to them in the Christian religion. They answered that its supreme blessing was the moral rest of heart. "I asked the same question," he said, "of a number of aged ladies all over fifty, and their answer was that the great blessing was the intellectnal stimulus it had given them." The other cause of depression was the lovelessness of their lives. _ Here Mr. Speer quoted some of the ideas about women which were part and parcel of the castern religions, and said â€" that though the men‘s humanity rose above that of their religion, they needed a religion to lead, not to hinder them, in wiving the women their due in love and honor. Invitations were received from London and Orillia to the society to be their gnest during next year‘s annual meeting. As the greater number of auxiliaries are grouped about London, it was decided to go there, though the â€"invitation from Orillia was warimly appreciated. _ The following officers were elected: Hon. President, Lady Mortimer Clark; Hon.

It was a voice raised in protest against the system of free trade, which the Paymne Bill seeks to establish with the Philippines. Standing in his place in the t1ouse of Representatives, â€" Palmo Ocampo de Leon, resident Commissioner from the island possession of the United States, criticised the proposition for free trade, because he said it would cause a decrease in the revenues of the islands and act upon the trusts in such a way as to preclude the possibility of inâ€" dependence.

Not only did they ransack the house from top to bottom, but they had a plumber open the plumbing, and the sewers department open the pipes leadâ€" ing from the strooet to the house, _ No trace of the weapon or the shells was found, however, The day after the anurder there was quite a heavy fall of snow, The warm weather and showers of the pase few days cleared all the ice and snow away and the detectives evidently thought it worth while going over the ground again, for they have beon at the house two or three dimes this wook, The report says that three or four of the sholls were found in the soft ground of the vacant yard. If this is true it will probably spur the authorities on to conâ€" tinue the search for the revolver, The finding of the weapan is still reâ€" garded as one of the most important noints in the Crown‘s theory. â€"DoulAless This is Latest Story Told in Connecâ€" tion With Hamilton Mystery.

FOUND SHELLS IN THE NEXT YARD. gyarded as one of the most important points in the Crown‘s theory, DoulaAless the revolver is numbored,. By tracing the manufacturer it would be possible to discover the retailer and probably the purchaser, In this way the revolver could be traced hack to the owner and the owner would be the party to whom the police would look for an explanaâ€" tion. The finding of the cartridge itself would not throw much the mysterv. The finding of volver‘ might solve the crime, police will keep up their effort and recover the weapon. It is eafe to predict, however, that unâ€" less something entively unforeseen turns up the Kinrade mystery will never be solved. The police, despite thsir air of cheerful confidence, are at sea.
