Mr. Wlshaid is foiclgn sicic tury of the association's International committee, and has tiaveled the world over In the Intel est of the organisa tion. Mr. (Jalley Is about to conclude a theological course nt Prlnreton. where Iip is general secretaty of the rniveiBlty ussoplatton. He Is soon to become a Piesbytprlan mlsslonaiy to China. Piesldent II. C Shnfer, of the Yotinj Men's Christian association introduced Mr. WMnrd and Mr. (Iniley to an nudlence which comfoitably lllled the hall. It was the tegular Simdny af ternoon gospel service, nnd wns tit tended by nearly three-hundicd men nnd bojs. The singing was conducted by J M Chance, the association music director, nsslsted by Charles Docrjam. Pianist, nnd William Stanton cornet- Ist. Player' was offered by President Shnfer and Mr. "Wlshard nnd the bene diction was pronounced by llev. Dr. S. C. Logan WORK IN ASIA. Mr. Wlshard's address was on the topic "Young Men's Chilstlnn associa tion Work In Asia." It was Illustrat ed by a number of views w hlch, as did the lemarks, related particularly to the pi ogress made by the associa tion in Chlnn, Japan and India. The address Indicated that the establish ment of n Christian belief In thoo climes can be brought about with but little personal effort. The required number of men to do the work can be easily piouired, but the work Is some what hampered by lack of funds Chris tian people are, however, realizing this hlndiance nnd the unusual piaetlcabll Ity and grand lesults of t,he work un der Young Men's Christian association methods, and nie becoming more leady to extend aid. The churches and as sociations nro Joining hands and through the aid of the tatter the even tual evangelization of the young men of the countiles mentioned nnd an universal Christianity Is within the range, of speedy possibility. Personal experiences, calculated to encourage his younger hearers, formed tho greater part of Mr. Galley's talk. Ho dwelt, too, upon the thought that a surrender to man's better Impulses leads by easy stuges to Christian work. In his own case he related how he first became Imbued with religious pur poses nt one of the annual Young Men'fl Christian association student conferences at Notthfield five years ago. He there became a "student vol unteer." as they are termed In the as sociation GAII-HY IS AN ATHLirrn. Mr. Galley Is the centPr-rush on the Princeton 'Vatstty foot ball eleven. His home Is near lialtlmore. lie will he oidalned to the ministry after his graduation in June, and will next Mnirh be sent as a missionary to Tsin Tsln or Shanghai, China. In the morning at the First Pres byteilan ehuuh Mr. Wlshard's ad dress i elated to pollege work. In the evening at the church Mr. Galley spoke fiom tho text (Itomnns), "I am not nshamed of the gospel of Christ." No Christian ought to be ashamed, he said, to carry out the woik left him by On 1st ns a legacy and obligation. India is no worse now than was Home when Paul uttered the woids found In the text. Mr. Galley then related why he peisonally was not ashamed of Clnlst's gospel. Mr. Wlshaid spoke brlelly. He relat ed the expei lence of an Instructor sent to China to teach military tactics The man was a Christian. After live years forty of the elass weie conveited to Christ, fifteen sought a theological training, ten were piompted to pur sue various commendable walks In life. Mr. Wlshard and Mr Galley will le tuin to Scianton on Thursday to pai tlclpate In tho oidlnntlon nt the Sec ond Presbyterian church of Hany Luce to the mlnlstiy. On Saturday night they will address n meeting of tnfn and women In the Young Men's Chtlstlan association hall, nnd on Sun day afternoon will be present at the men's gospel meeting. SERMON OF REV. MR.

No copies of Saturday's Tilbune weie te leased until too late for the other pa per's purpose; nnd so. having a big hole to fill, and no time to set up more type, the other paper cut up a Sunday Win Id page and ran In three columns of pre pared matter Whether it swiped that or paid for It we do not know. THIRTEENTH HOME AGAIN.

The members of this regiment spared no expense or trouble in making the visitors comfortable.

Yesterday the officers were given an Informal reception at the rooms of the Philadelphia Yacht club. The soldiers were looked after by ap pointed members of the First regiment. During the parade, despite the fact that the Thirteenth regiment wore the obnoxious leggings It covered its wake v Ith a blaze of glory.

Tlio act was passed by the legislature la.st week and Is now being printed for dlsttlbutlon, among the deputy fac tory Inspectors, to be distributed by them umoug tho omploves. Just what effect the law will have hereabouts Is hard to estimate. Deputy Inspector Earl W.

As a uenetal rule the loyn. nnd girls In the stores nnd fnc torles hereabouts havo at least a com mon bchool education. Those employed In stores must of necessity be nblo to lend nnd write, nnd from the onera tlon of the fuctory laws, chlldieu who might havo otherwise been sent to work befoic they lenrned to rend nnd write, were kept out of the factories until they were Milt teen years of age and as something had to be done with them they were sent to school. It is the Intention of Inspector Hlshop to peisonally examine nil those who come under the operations of the net. Ho will visit the stoies nnd factories one after another and summon before him every boy nnd girl under sixteen years of age to undeigo the required test If they 'are found to be able to toad nnd write they will receive a cer tificate to Mint effect, but If they are found to be llleterate they will be sent home. The purpose of the net. ns is nppnr ent, Is to supplement the workings of the lnw which It amends.
