Below we give part of a letter
^_f$*_fc to Me. and Mrs. Ltttlfield,
_p&*nt-of Mre. Smith. This letter
«gtH give ue a glimpse ot the work be-
itsX carried on by the self sacrificing
'maa and women wha are laboring in
S-*fc country. Ohe of the saddest
t-jfrstf- about tbis is tbe apparent fact
~»fcet this work ia likely to be entirely
destroyed in tbat country as it is be-Jyeb
stta done in Corea. We Wish every
reader of the Sentinel would read tbe

jTrThen tbere were Dr. L. P. Li a native
X of Canton wbo graduated last year
y. from tbe medical school at Ann
A Arbor and a Mr. Parker who had
§. served witb tbe Red Cross in France.
Y These latter two were   bere   together
with a party under the  ierdership   of
X Dr. Ralph Ward of Centenary fame.
A This party is now making a tonr of
- Cbina to study the situation and to
-.__ get data for the further work of the
v Centenary and also for the Inter-
church World   Movement  Survey  of
V Mission   fields.     I   found    that    onr
- people were very  popular   and   were
--Constantly   being invited  out   and   I
f had to keep a little record book of
7.7 those wbo bad been invited out for
"uaeala and tben I tried to get some
■;~"\ one else in to take   their   places.      In
that way the cook provided for a
..constant   number of  people   and   we
also had the chance to bave quite a
' few guests. During the 11 days of
- the Conference tbere were about 28
: or 30 different gdests from out-

?■ bad a crowd and in two or three
r   places tbere were 10 aud 12  eating   at

From   the   standpoint * of  numbers
-   this  conference   far   surpassed    any
otber previously  beld,   for   not  only
we r e    there    a    large    number    of
~ foreigners present, but tbere were al-
A.  mo a great many Chinese layman   and
f-g teachers who did not nsdally come to
|g^ a Conference.     This   was  a   special
year.    It was not only tne Centenary
celebration, bot it  also  marked   the
SOr.h  anniversary   of   work    by    our
; Chnrch in North Cbina, and it was   a
wonderful thought indeed whicb kept
eeaatng to   one  to  think  that  when
lie.   Lowry   and  Dr.  Wheeler   came
here 50 years ago there were only two
workers  aad   tbat   now    there   are
about 135   foreign  workers counting
lisetonary wives.    At tbat time tbere
Was not a single' Chinese   Methodist,
aad   now    tbere   are   abont   11,000
members  of  the   Chnrch.     At    that
not   a  dollar in   property   and
w    over- 11,000,000    in    school,
trebes,  hospitals  aod    residences
pifc£    At that time not a Chinese wbo
'k n e w   tbe    Methodist    "A m e a"
•'Hallelujah" and this year  the altar
.ftad front of the church crowded witb
lers, and workers  praying for [work    in    war    reconstruction    etc.
veneae of sins  and   for tbe  oot-. Needless to say these drew  immense
*-g of tbe Holy Spirit on them' orowds, so mucb so tbat most of tba
tbcfar/fam|lies   and    tbeir  missionaries spent those evenings In
\it by  any  obaaoa there { walking about tba compond or in vis-
be aotne one whom yoa knowf .   Continued on pegs 8
who thinks that the cburcb is dead
and tbat the Spirit of God does not
move men now-a-davs, just invite
him to witness such scenes as were
before us all tbrongh tbe Conference
and I cannot believe tbat be wouid
go away a doubter.
On Tuesday the reports were read
in English before the foreign
members of the mission. I took a
few notes ' of interesting items . to
write the*..- Isto-v b»* %he*9 weroMtoe-
many and I have not the time to tell
them now. Tbey wiil all appear in
the published minutes and you can
read them tbere. Suffice to say that
the reports this year for the most
part were most encouraging telling
of progress in the cburch in respect
to members, spiritual life and self-
support, the latter being a feature of
tne Centenary progr-m for China.
During tbe day about six solid bours
were spent in listening to these reports wbicb for tbe most part were
about 10 minutes long, some shorter
and many longer, for-there was so
much to tell that the writer found it
difficult to tell all in the allotted
time.
Beginning Wednesday each day
began with a devotional service from
8:30 to 10 o'clock at which - Dr.
Campbell talked and Bucb helpful
addresses as be did give on such
topics as prayer. The Holy Spirit,
Bible Sfc&dy, Personal Work etc. At
tbe morning and evening services
tbere was ' singing by a mixed
quartet. It surely was mixed as the
tenor and bass parts were taken by
two Chinese teachers and the soprano
and alto parts were sung by two of
the W. F. M. S. ladies and it was
splendid music. Most of the songs
were in Chineee and were recent
translations of some of the popular
evangelistic revival hymns used at
home. The translations were in the
main made by a returned student, a
teacber in our {school. Tbe Bishop
always had a splendid word to say in
closing the devotional service and
tben tbe meeting adjourned, tbe
preachers to begin tbe regular business sessions of Conference, tbe W.
F. M. S. to take np tbeir sessions and
the rest of us to go about our usual
tasks which were made a little more
difficult by the limitation of time and
also the increase of patients from
among the people attending Conference who likewise sought to improve the opportunity to get tbeir
eyes, ears, or noses looked after.
Iu the afternoon there were still
more Conference session* and also
tbe Conference cabinet sessions, the
meetings of Committees etc. Bach
evening tbere was a "special meeting
at the cburcb to which all onr
Methodist constituency was invited.
Two evenings it was sterioptiean
pictures telling of religious work in
different lands or in otber parts of
China, the plan of the  Centenary  or
"Art is simply tbe harmonious expression of human emotions nnd
thought"- -..well " ' :**•
Tbe fourtti meeting of the Clare
Study Club was held Tuesday afternoon at tbe home of Mrs. E. H. Waller. The president and vice president
being absent, by request Mra. Waller
took the ^ chair and conducted the
meeting in ber usual pleasiag but
forceful manner. After speaking
briefly of the late arrival of a fine
collection of pictures from tbe St ate
Library at Lansing to illustrate ti e
subject for the day? and regretting
tbe face tuat one day was not given
over to Red Cross and patriotic subjects as it was jnst one year ago tbat
the Armistice was signed and in closing gave some fine patriotic music
on the phonograph.
Roll call brought ont many interesting facts and works of sculptors,
one beinw especially so was "Tbe
American soldier wbo a year ago to
day " on tbe battlefields of Europe
helped to complete the greatest monument ever raised to civilization."
Then came tbe program: Mrs.
Greer gave the first paper, a tine description of tbe works of Augustus Sr.
Gaudens; Mrs. Hurnmon gave a paper
on Frederick McMonnies; Daniel C.
French by Mrs. Caple; Lorado Taft
by Mrs. Gallagber. Tbese bapersshow.
ed careful research and understanding grip of the subject to a suprising
degree,   as   sculpture   is   an   art   not
I generally understood.
It is to be  regretted   that
an omission   for   wbicb   tbe
is not   to   blame,   report   of
two weeks ago failed to mention tbe,.
excellent paper of Mra. Benner.    Sbe
was necessarily absent, bnt ber paper
was there and enjoyed by all.

Washington, Nov. 5.—Declaring
tbat "the collapse of the strike mast
come, if free government is to survive," Representative Currie, o f
Michigan, Thursday issued an open
letter to tbe miners of Bay county,
Michigan, comprising 76 per cent of
tbe members of the United Mine
Workers of America in tbat state
calling upon tbem to sbow tbeir
patriotism and beed tbe call cf tbeir
government and return to work.
"Yonr controversy is no longer
with tbe mine operators. The President of the United States has declared the coal strike 'unjustifiable,
and unlawful.' Congress, by an
unanimous vote, has pledged every
resource of tbe government to meet
the present industrial emergency.
Tbe conspiracy of your leaders will
be reviewed and passed upon by tne
courts. Your conduct will be judged
by public opinion everywhere.
"Apparently you. have entered
upon che strike by reason of your affiliation witb tbe United Mine Workers of America and not because of
any serious grievance against your
operators. You have had little, if
anything to'do with bringing about
this strike. The responsibility, nevertheless, now devolves upon you to
decide whether yon will support the
tbe government wbicb protects yon
and your families from aggression,
cold, ganger and con death. Your
government expects and the public
interest demands tbat yonr allegiance

citizenship, at the   fireside, the plow,
the   mart. In low   places   and io high
places,  in season  and out of season.
Let  us   bave   the    patriotism   whicl)
moves  men to make tbeir  country's
welfare   tbeir   own   business   and  in   -
prosaic times of peace interest tbem-   '
selves   continually    in   the  practical
politics   of   tbeir   community.    Good
government   is   possible in   no   other
wav .- *"'■
Jt   is  passing   strange  indeed   tbat
men have to.be   urged to exercise tbe
first privilege . of a seyereifin   ci.ize-n-   .
ship—tbe right to help  govern tbem- *
selves.    Yetw urged   they    roust: be,
and  it is   becaflse   of   this facr   that"*"
most    governmental    evils    develop. ^
Government   functions-tbrougb indi- -
viduals.    Tbese individuals are elected    by   the    processes   of    practical
politics, a sequence wnicb   cannot be v
avoided.   We can bave better govern- "
ment onlv if we  interest ourselves in '-
politics,   in the  selection of those to
whom tbis government is  entrusted,
in   having   thongbt  and voice  in   its
operation,   and  in     making    onr
country's   affairs   onr own* bnsiness. '
If a political party does not stand for
those  things    which'-will   bear   tbe
severest strutiny, it is  not entitled to
succeed and it will not endure.  Tbere
should be in this conntry two political
parties and both must be  strong and ~
virile.   Tbat is the greatest safeguard
to onr Institutions. Let the two great
political   parties tben   make   it tb*-ir
business  to   see   which  can   develop
tbe better   plans for*doing tbe greatest   good    for  tbe   greatest  number,
and let the Individual membership in
tbese parties   give that  attention   to
tbe  party's  affairs   which ia   due the

actual participation   in governmental
affairs. Let the   contest   between
political   parties   always  be,   and   in
tben-*   important  days   ahead   let   us
ma.B   certain that the   contest be, to
determine who   best can  se:va,   wbo
most can give.   •'''■ " ~-"•? 'AY--
I repeat and sball continually declare that what we need in tbis country is oot *'le>6 politics," but more
attention to politics. Politics is tbe
science of government, and wbat we
need is more attention to tbe science
of government. We bave fought in
France to make certain everywhere
tbat men should baye the rigbt to
govern themselves, and here in this
country, where we have tbat privilege, I insist tbat we exercise it now
and always.
: Let ns have the patriotism of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt
—not a patriotism whicb * moves us
wben an enemy is at our gates, but a
patriotism wbich moves us every day
to realize what we owe to th9 country
in whicb we live, wbich moves us to
discbarge tbat debt by aidine in
every way, we can to make and keep
conditions rigbt in tbis country.

A  New   Weekly.
The Central Normal no loosrer proposes to be contented with a monthly
"Bulletin" but is soon to issue a
weekly. It/will be a student affair to
some little extent, but it is likely to
prove a booster for Mt. Pleasant, aiding to draw a larger attendance in the
school and thus helping tbe town.
