China, for a number of tr. and hv charge of the mituionary publlihlng house The letter I very interesting. ll follow: I "The new military governor, after the revolution In China, on coming to Canton the first of August thl ear. found that the soldier had not been paid for a long time and th.it the treasury wa empty, so In ordr to gri the needed money he gave lli ense to have gambling den opened all through the province of gunnng l.ung. "The.

good people of Canton are very much opposed to thl. also the civil governor, but thry are helpless, a It seem military governor has all power with the soldier. We have eleven boat In about a block In front of our building (The Mission Uull.l Ing Houth China Christian Hook Store) thM pay one hundred and twenty dollar a day license, and forty dollars a day rent for space along the Itund (the street along the Pearl rlverl. The poor people are wild over thl opportunity to gamble, and stream In and out of these boat by the thousand all night long. Now Just a It I In thl short pac In front of na, so It la all along the Bund and throughout the city.

The worst of It I that the military gov ernor will be In office for three year, and thl may last that long. If such Jinny lias meeting, aii mo th ml.ilnn member of the church who were ac are, twenty flve vear to undo the live in thl clu are urged to be that wll, b. rton ln the present. 10. Jo.

Morning aervlce. thr(e They have fight In the boat Rally wrmon by the pastor, ton nlch, nH other evenlnir a bomb wa thrown right In front of the Missions building, and such a scampering and noise you never heard. The gamblers poured out of the boat by the thousand. It la thought the bomb was thrown In order for some thief to get all the money during the excitement Born Gambler "The Chinese are born gambler. I and thl thing Just ults them.

The I women particularly like to gamble, and those, of the higher class have done little else ln the past years when they sat in darkness. Everything since we came to China haa been peaceful, barring the revolution, that we feel sorry to ee China go back to her old love gambling. We hope that thi will not mean also a renewal of the opium business, for the two have gone hand In hand in the past Poor China needs her young men who are coming out of the Christian colleges and schools to rouse her, "and they will once they get Into power. Although not Intensely a suffragist, I do bank on the women of China, however, more than the men, for they are keen and strong, and if once given a chance they will make it tell, although thev have been held down so long that It will take years to bring about results. It will only begin to have effect, when the voung girls who are now In Christian schools, go out and have homes and children of their own, that China may expect to make great progress.
