To Build liospitai In China.
Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 17 To
day's sessions of the Laymen's Mis
sionarv Movement Conference ol
the Southern Presbyterian Churcl
were notable for the spirit of earn
cstness ami enthusiasm shown by
the 1,027 delegates present.
A feature of the morning was (he
rapidity with which the delegates
pledged !?10,)00 to build a new
charity hospital at Suchien, China,
following an appeal by Dr. J. W.
Bradley, of Suchien.
Robert E. Spier, of New York,
fairly carried the convention oft its
feet with enthusiasm by his appeal
for extension of the Church's work
in the fa- East.
Unemployed Men Auctioned in a
Brooklyn Church.
New York Dispatch, 14th.
In order to find work for men
who were out of employment, E.T.
O'Loughlin and others auctioned
off 33 able bodied men at the Tark
side Presbyterian church, Brooklyn
riday night. The church was
packed to wituess the novel sight.
Immediately following the open
ing remarks by Kev. Dr. John D.
xtng, pastor of the church, Mr.
O'Loughlin, who acted as auc
tioneer," mounted the pulpit and
said that the meeting had leen
called for the purpose of "selling"
men to the highest bidder.
"These men want work; they
don't want charitv. Thev want
work to buy food and clothing.
Thev are not hoboes."
There was an expectant craning
of necks from manv curious people
and a silence broken only by sobs
from women present, then while
the organist played John Brown's
Body," the :." masked men march-
e l(iiietly up the aisle and took s-eais
on the platform on either side and
back of the pulpit. Some of them
were white-haired men, but the
majority appeared to be strong and
virile vouths.
While called a sale the schems
was a benevolent plan to get jobs
for the men .
The first up was No. 11. When
he was offered, a man in the audi
ence asked if he could write. I5e-
ing told he could not, he bid $10
per week for the young man. A
baker arose and offered 10 and
three loaves of bread each day and
the voting man was struck off to
him amid great hand-clapping.
i ins was me neginning. uiners
weie otfered and underwent physi
cal inspection of their arms and
muscles at the hands of the pros
pective purchaseis. The sale con
tinned, employers bidding oil" such
labor as thev needed at from 10
to ;." per week until the whole
number had been sold.
Church Attendance.
Sometimes those living in small
er towns and even cities have a de
sire to seek a home in the large
cities, thinking that there is more
opportunity and room for effort.
But a little experieuoe would soon
convince us that it is better to re
main where we are. There are
many reasons that could be given
but one will suffice and that is re
garding church attendance. We
were in New York some time ago
and dropped in at Dr. Parkburst's
Temple to his noon-day prayer
meeting. Of all that bustling huij
rying throng that pass and repass
upon the square outside there were
not over fifteen persons at the
meeting. In smaller towns there
is more attention paid to attending
chinches. On Sundav niorninus
when the bells ring, doors open
and people dressed in their best
step from their homes with happy
faces intent on seeking a place of
worship. Unfortunately, the good
old custom is no longer universal
ly observed in our large cities.
Too many ditlerent streams from
the Old World have met and
mingled in the cosmopolitan cen
tres, and there has leen too large
an infusion of a pagan element to
keep the old landmark unimpair
ed. People from alien shoies,
trained often w ith no regard for
religion, have come to us looking
for an asylum from oppression.
Our own people growing richer,
have also grown more worldly, and
there has been a gradual neglect
of church privileges on the part of
those who should set a good exam

Baltimore, Feb. IS. After eight
months work surgeons of the City
Hospital have grafted enough skin
to save the life of a negro boy who
had lost three quarters of his skin
by burning. Iu accomplishing the
remarkable result the surgeons
used skin from puppies and from
humans.
The patient is Raymond Howard.

gasoline explosion July 4th last
The child was admitted to the
hospital SeptemU'i- 1st. Little
puppies were robbed of skin to be
used for covering the wound on
tho child's back. The shin took
hold and soon new skin was
formed. A piece of skin taken
from mi amnutation in the case of
a white woman was next trice
That, too, adhered to the wound on
the back, and some of it was placed
on the arm and the legs. A whit a
man had lost a foot. The skin
from it was grafted to the boy's
legs, and finally a negro met with
a similar accident. The skin from
his crushed leg was used for the
boy and gradually tho wounds are
being covered with new skin. As
soon as they can get the boy's back

At W ilson a few days ago
Fletcher Davis, w ho was distribut
ing circulars for a w hiskey house
in Richmond, was arrested and re
quired to give lOO bond for his
appearance at court. The arrest
was made under section 1, chapter
lis, of the laws of North Carolina,
the section reading as follows:
That it shall be unlawful for any
person, for himself or as an agent
or traveling salesman for any per
son, firm or corporation, to solicit
orders or proposals of purchase by
the iuir or bottle or otherwise, of
intoxicating liquors within the
borders of any or all counties,
townships, precincts, towns and
cities in the State of North Caro
lina wherein prohibition prevail,
etc.
The law, w hich makes the offence
a misdemeanor, was enacted at the
special session of the Legislature of
1!)08, and it may not be generally
known that there is such a statute.
It would seem that if distributing
circulars on the street is solicit

meaning of the statute, that dis
tributing newspapers containing
liquor adveiLisements would also
