I pulled down tip old Imti.c and built a block.
On Febiiiiiy , WT, I boiinned about SrJii or

requested me to Iniiig lo lus attorney's ollice
my old contract, that I paid fljoo on, and
turn the loiifrait nyn to hint. His attorney
drew a nen conlnct up on the following ion
illtlons: 'Ihii I was to piy 2i,0 per jeir
and me lecriic ihe iiiiU, 'jM a month. The
contract was dnwn hv Mr. Spencer's uttornpj,
Hoiace K. Hand, unwell and wife signid same,

it to me in the coue of a lev dajs. He gave
mo a temporaiy le-e for that timo and when
he would i'inl me the contract, I was to return

Tills was February 8, 1507. Fiom that ilay
t.i Ihii I have never reeelired the contract. I
bate tried many times, but always have been
put off, Can jou credit this? It's true and
to iny sorrow, that's part of what Spencer
Iils done to me; kept iny contract and then the

My contiact calls for iltf. Now Mr, Spencer
knows tlut he has no 3,.00 mortgage on that
properly. I have olfeicd Mr, Spencei if 2,700, not

cash und a man to go my bond. That lie would
not accept.
Friends, foes, fellow workman, citizens and

In tho evening Hr. Thompson irave

nature and created a profound im
pression on all who heard it. JV. Mc
Leotl was In Easton, and yesterday

Dr. Warfleld spoke last night at
the Second church, He avoh intro
duced to the congregation by tho pas
tor, Dr. Kobinson, and gave a. splendid
address on "Foxes in the Vine-yard."
Dr. Warlleld is a tall, stately-looking
man, with a short silver board, and
the jgcnei.tl appearance of a scholar.
In tho beginning of his uddtoss hn
referred bi lolly to the gieat song of
songs, liom which he took his them;
and expressed his admiration of the
rythmic itoetry nnd beauty of the
wonderful work.

RESISTANCE TO EVIL.
"We must learn the lesson of resist

sponsibility for his entire life to bear,
and this is a blessing In disguise. We
nil have self-love. Sorao claim that
men should love others more than
themselves, but the gospel teaches rea
sonably that we love others as our
selves. Man's flint duty is to himself.
There are m.tny little things upon

these Is indifference to what Is good
and a tendency to evil. Indifference
to tho service of (Jod is a very great

public or private, oftimes results in
tha acquiring of bad company. And

CHINA AS SEEN
BY DR. LEONARD
SPOKE IN ELM PARK CHURCH
LAST NIGHT.
Is tho Genornl Missionary Secretary
of the Methodist Episcopal Mis
sionary Society He Told of the
Many Excellent Traits Possessed
by the Chinese nnd Expressed the
Opinion That the Recent Outbreak
in tho Empire Was More Anti
Foreign Than Antl-Mlsslonnry.
Rev. Dr. A. U. Leonard, of New York
city, general secretary of the mission
ary society of the Methodist Episcopal
church In this country, gave two
splendid addresses on missionary work
yesterday In the Elm Park church.
In the evening he gave a talk on
mlsslonnry work in China, which was
listened to Avlth Intense Intel est b
one of the largest congregations ever
gathered together In that edifice. In
beginning his remarks he made a pass
ing reference to the obligations which
the United States has taken upon her
self In tho far east. Referring to the
Iano Sundays on which Dewey
smashed Moutljo's licet and on which
Ceiver.a's buttloships Avent lo pieces
he said:
"I, for one, thank God that Avheti
Geoige Dewey had finished his work
In Manila harbor ho stayed there. I
consider these two Sundays thr great
est missionary Sundays in the nine
teenth century, because on those days
were removed the obstructions Avhich
had prevented 10,000,000 people for cen
turies from a knowledge of the true
gospel of the Lord Jesus."
Regarding China, he said, In part:
"We must be fair with China and
Just now there Is danger of being un
fair. I think that during the Chinese
trouble tho administration has shown
groat wisdom, It has held a steady
hand and tho policy adopted by this
count! y has done more to contiol the
policies of the European states than
any other Influence."
SIZE OF THE EMPIRE.
He then described at some length tho
tremendous size of the Chinese empire
and its great population, now esti
mated at 400,000,000. "This Is a great
problem for the wot Id to deal Avith,"
said lu. "Wo can't turn our backs
and say that It holds no inteiest for
us."
Ho described the great religions of
China, llitddhlsm and Confucianism.
"If these religions could over uplift the
Chinese or bring them to a higher civ
ilization they suiely would haA'o done
It after all these centuries. The In
telligent Chinaman avIH tell you that
the Chinese nation today has Its face
to tho past and Its back to the future,
"Yet, the Chinese aio a Avonderful
people. One Chinaman Is Avorth six
Malays. They aie tho latgest proper
ty OAvneis In Singapore, JaA-a, Sumatra
and all the surrounding islands and
they are the most A-aluable people
dANelllng theie. They are self-supporting.
Did j-ou ever see a begging
Chinaman In this country? Did you
ever see a drunken Chinaman in this
country? No, you never did, but
you've s&en drunken Germans, Irish
men and Americans.
"The Chinaman has physical quali
ties Avhich could be developed into a
great manhood. If the Chinese had
the same naval and military discipline
as have the other civilized nations
they would be able to face and cope
Avlth the whole win Id. If China could
in twenty-four hours be lifted up on
tho same plane as the European na
tions, as fur as military and naval
prowess goes, the allied forces Avould
bo out o China in no time.
AVOl'LD 11ECOME MIGHTY.
"Hut China is hopeless because she is
helpless. A few men have been making
an effort lately to get out of the tut,
but It Isn't much use. Give her the ad
vantages of Christian civilization and
tho Chinese will become a mighty peo
ple. I do not hesitate to say that In
tho lecont tioublo the Chinese had just
cause for great provocation."
Dr. Leonard then detailed at length
tho various parts of China already
grubbed by the European powei.s.
"They have succeeded In carrying off
so much tenitoiy along the seacoabt
that China today doea not davii a single
one of her Important seaports. AVhat
would anc have done in this country if
tho European nations had come over
hero and began taking our seaports'.'
AVe'tl resist with all our power,
Avouldn't Ave?
"If It's Avrong to steal Ameilcau ter
ritory, it's just as AViong to .steal Chi
nese teirltory. The powois haAre boon
guilty of a gieat wrong In taking this
terrltoiy fiom China,"
At this point tho doctor loforted to
those people nnIiu maintain that tho
missionaries have an easy time. "This
trouble has opened their eyes," said he,
"ami has demonstrated that mission
ary work Is not a trilling thing but a
calling which requires sublime courage.
.Some people say, let's withdraw.
Suppose that In the tlrst centuiy tho
early Chrlstluns had become discour
aged and had decided to glA-o up
preaching tho gospel. If they had the
Clnistlau civilization you and I nro
now living In would have never ex
isted. The Chlneso are not close ,sea
soners. They say tho mlsslonailcs came
first und tho gunboats aftorwaids.
AVAS AGANIST FOHEIGNEUS.
;i have said It before and I say It
again, The Boxer movement was not
ouo-tenth as much 'anti-missionary as
it was antl-forelgn. Tho dowager em
press, a Aviso old lady and ns treacher
ous as she Is wise, saw a involution
against tho Munchu dynusty biewIuK
and she turned It against the foreign
eis to divert It from herself und tho
powers that be."
The Chlneso Clnistlau has always
shown himself to be true. In all this
t rou bin there Is not one reeoided case
of a single one who denied Jesus Cluist.
Not two per cent, of the converted
Chinese have ever tfone back on tholr
religion. They never go back on their
missionaries, either, and often slvo up
tholr lives for them."
Dr, Leonard then stated thai tho
Methodist chinch hud not lost a life in
tha recent trouble, not a single mis
sionary or even a child being klllod.
Two hundred thousand dollais worth
of propei ty belonging to tho church
was destroyed, however,
"AVo expect to enter upon tlie nevv
missionary year," said ho in conclus
ion, "with our forces all In their places.
Shull we retire, you ask? No, never,
as long as the great commission reads,
'Go ye into ull tho world and preach
he gospel to ull the people,' "
