AN INTERESTING LECTURE# '
Seeing China Through the Eye. Of!
The Camerai
Rarely has there been a more in-'
teresting and instructive service than
that held at the Fivst Baptist
Civnrch last Sunday evening. The j
Pastor, Rev. W. F. West, who spent*
several years in- the East, showed a j
large number of pictures which he ,
had taken white in China. The slides j
had been colored and were excep- i
tionally good, while the lecture as j
they were .betng shown was of de
cided iuterest. He told the large j
congregation, which packed the audi-)
tcrium to its utmost, many things
concerning the Chinese which they I
did not know. Altogether, a more j
rtloasant jionr could hardly Jjavfc been i
