The Celebrated Missionary Told of the Wonderful Results of Christ ianity in Japan, and China Refer ence Mado to tho Work of Mission ariesChristians Are Individually Responsible for the Success of the Work in Foreign Fields Lecture Wa3 Very Interesting. Rev. Thomas Marshall, of Philadel phia, general secretary of the Pres byterian board of foreign missions, de livered an Intensely Interesting and thoroughly Instructive address hist evening In the First Presbyterian church on "An All Around tho Woti.1 View of Foreign Missions. The attend ance was not very large, but us Dr. Mel.eod explained, there who many counter attractions. Dr. Mci.eod Introduced Rev. Mr. Marshall In a few brief words. In opening his remarks Mr. Marshall stat ed that he spoke not from reading, but from personal experience, having mado a fifteen months' tour of tho world recently nt his own expense for tho purpose of finding out what the Lord was doing with the means placed In tho hands of his missionaries by the Christian people throughout the world. Ho first spoKe of the mistaken lm preFsioii existing In a great many peo ple's mind that the missionaries In the various foreign fields llvo In great luxury. He referred to his own travel In China and said that the only bed which could be procured In tho entlro klndom was one of stone, with only a small grass mat for bedding and that the fond to be obtained was very ques tionable. It being dllllcult to tell wheth er you wero eating meat or the bark of a tieu. Ho then told of the mode of traveling In the Celestial kingdom, which Is done In a llttei suspended between two mules, nnd the great danger some times attending such a method of tra vel. All this, ho said, went to show that tho life of a missionary Is not in easy one by any means. The speaker also dwelt upon the won derful lesults Christianity has worked In Japan and China since tts Introduc tion, and told of the forcible opening of Japanese ports In 1S34 by Commodore Perry and his licet of American war ships, and bow before that time no foreigners could llvo In that country. A graphic description was also given of the scene enacted on Sunday morn ing, July in. 1S5I, when beneath the American ling the Christian chaplain of Perry's flagship conducted a service and tho mnilne band played "Old Hun dred." XKW KRA OF CIIRISTIAXITY. Commodore Perry was that same morning enthusiastically received by thu Japanese authorities, and one year later Japan enter' it Into a second-clar,i treaty with the Flitted States. This was the beginning of tho new era of Christianity for that land. The speaker nlo referred to the first Introduction of Christianity Into Japan in 1G20 by the Roman Catholics nnd how the emperor, becoming enraged at what ho considered to bo an attempt to wrest his rnunM'v from him, had oi tiered every Christian killed. Rev. Marshall told what Christian civilization has done for Japan. The American public 'school system has been Introduced; the American pos tal system hap been adopted: uni versities have been established and 1900 witnesses one of tho most 10 nmkablo things In tho history of nations, the Christian powers of the world accepting Japan as a na tion worthy of standing in tho very front rank, and all this in forty-five years. Ho then parsed to China and told of the ilrst missionary work done In that country by Rev. Robert Morrison, who entered the field in 1S0T and who lab ored twenty-xeven yeais and only se cured ! cnnvi-rttt. Hi first trans lated the Rlble Into the Chinese tongue and held up the word "f God to 100, 000,000 of heathens sunk in tho hoary superstitions of ages. In 1 S in there were six converts; In IS", .100; In ISSf). l.l.ooo; in 1S13, KO.oiM, and In 1S9S. 5t,000 Chinese Ohiistl.ms. Thero nro now 2.4C1 missionaries, 5.O0) Chinese assistants, lfl.l colleges and higher schools, with i,'2Hl pupils In them: 1.711 common schools, with SO.OOO pupils, nnd SO.oco baptized Christians. Rev. Marshall then leferred brlftly to the woik done In India by William Caicy. and others and the marvelous work In Africa by Livingston and those who followed him. Ho closed his remarks with an earnest appeal to every true (Mnistlan t'i rocngnlrt: the fact that on the Individual rests the responsibility for the ultlniat" chrlst lanl.'.lng f tho entlro world.

February 9 is the date which has been fixed for the lecture on liquified air to be given by Prof. Wells. Tho program which has been arranged will be very Interesting and Instructive. Pi of.

Tho literary society of the school will also help to make the en tertainment n success. Tho price of tickets has been placed at 23 cents for those not members of the school nnd 15 cents for pupils. This gives al most every student an opportunity of learning considerable more nbout thl:i subject than could be derived from some books, since by experiment the subject Is brought more plainly to their minds. A meeting of the Athletic, associa tion was held Thursday nt the close of tho session. The purpose of tlr; meeting was to hear the auditing com mittee's report of last season's foot hall team. Chairman Klrkbrlde read tho report, and stated It was all rlgl't and ought to be accepted, but after some discussion the report was laid on the table for two weeks In order to give those who were not satisfied with It an opportunity of looking It over. One thing which will undoubtedly bo a benefit to tho association, as well as to tho members, was the appointing of a permanent meeting day, which will occur every month. At these meet ing It will be necessary for both the captains and managers of the base ball end foot ball teams to make a report of the expenditures and other things pertaining to the welfare of the teams. The most Important tiling which Is now on foot Is tho wnlklns conte.it for the Scranton High school pin, pre sented by Jeweler McMillan, which will take place some time during next month. A great deal of Interest shouM be taken In this match, as those who have charge of the club give an op portunity to nil who have any ability In that line of entering the contest. Tho Pedestrian club, which was for merly known as the Petersburg Pedes trian club, but which, on account of Its members being composed chiefly of members of the school, decided to pre fix the name of the High school In stead of Petersburg. They have al ready won two basket ball games and nro dally practicing to become more etllelent In that line. Kdward McHugh was elected captain of the base ball team for the coming season nnd William Knnn was chos'r.i to the Important position of manager. After a little talk on different matters the meeting adjourned. Miss Slargaret Acker, of Xo. Sn school, was a visitor at tho sophomore Latin and scientific classes during the entire session.
