Welcome Words to Women
Women who suffer with disorders peculiar to their
sex should -write to Dr. Pierce and receive free the
advice of a physician of over 40 years' experience
a skilled and successful specialist in the diseases
of women. Every letter of this sort has the most
careful consideration and is regarded as sacredly
confidential. Many sensitively modest women write
fully to Dr. Pierce what they .-would shrink from
telling to their local physician. The local physician
is pretty sure to say that he cannot do anything
without "an examination." Dr. Pierce holds that
these distasteful examinations are generally need
less, and that no woman, except in rare cases,
FRAKK a. CARPENTER'S LETTER.
should submit to them.
Dr. Pierce's treatment "mil cure you right in tho privacy of
your own home. His ' Favorite Prescription" has cured
hundreds of thousands, some of them the worst of cases.
It is the only medicine of its kind that is the product of a regularly graduated
physician. The only one good enough that its makers dare to print its every
ingredient on its outside wrapper. There's no secrecy. It will bear examina
tion. No alcohol and no habit-forming drugs are found in it. Some unscrup
ulous medicine dealers may offer you a substitute. Don't take it. Don't trifle
with your health. Write to World's Dispensary Medical Association, Dr. R.
V. Pierce, President, Buffalo, N. Y., take the advice received and be well.

SHANGHAI, China, Jan. 12. I want
to tell you vhat the missionaries
are doing: in China. Both Protest
ants and Catholics are the advance
guard of the modern movement, the
leaven which has starred the great
batch of -Chinese dough to working.
They were the first to stir up the dry
bones of the celestial civilization, and
they are now everywhere aiding In
putting the flesh and 'blood of our
western methods upon them.
Introduced by the Catholics.
The missionaries have been laboring
here for several centuries. The Catho
lics were the first on the ground. They
were here represented by the Xestor
ians as far back as the eighth century,
and "vihen Marco Polo visited Cathay
he found Catholics here Xater still
came the. Jesuits, led by St. Francis
Xavier, who like Moses, died when on
the edge of the promised land, and
over China. In addition -there Is the
Mission Press of the American Metho
dists, which is papering the country
with Christian literature of one kind
and another.
Both of these establishments are pub
lishing school books.
As to bibles, they are distributed by
the American Bible society, which first
came here about 75 years ago. It now
sends out about 750,000 volumes per
year, and altogether its circulation has
run high into the millions.
A Great Educational Work
But I started to speak about mission
schools. They are to be found every
where. There are boys schools and
girls' schools, and- kindergartens for
both sexes. There are primary schools,
intermediate schools and high schools,
as well as colleges of arts, medicine
and theology. The Catholics have a
university at Shancrhai and a college
actively pushed by Matthew Ricci, who ana industrial school at Secawei, five
was making converts in the Tangtse
valley less than 100 years after Colum
bus discovered America. It was Jesuit
priests who made the beautiful astron
omical instruments at Peking, and who
introduced the first linking of western
civilization centuries ago. Since then
Catholics of other denominations have
come, and now there are here Fran
ciscans, Augustians, Vincentians and
missions of that church from .Belgium, and colleges. In the primary scnooia
miles from Shanghai, with 50 other
schools near by. having an attendance
altogc'er of 3750 pupils. They are
doing some educational work in other
cities, but as far as I can learn they
are by far surpassed by the Protestants
jletics into the public schools and the
organization of military drill every
where, physical exercise has become
popular, and the secretaries of the as
sociations have now no trouble in fill
ing their gymnasiums. They have or
ganized field days at the different
centers, and 8000 or 10,000 come to
such places as Tientsin to take part in
the annual meets. There are 9000 stu
dents in the modern schools of Tien
tsin, and the interest in such matters
there is so great that an address was
recently delivered to the students of
the government schools on the subject,
"When Will China Win the Olympic
Games?" Indeed, it is safe to say that
before, many years both the Chinese
and the Japanese will be found in all
international athletic competitions, and
it will not be surprising If an Asiatic
some day wins the marathon.
I find a trained physical director
here in charge of the Shanghai gym
nasium. He will start a national train
ing school for physical directors, and
native Chinese so trained will go out
from here to hold professorships, not
only in other Y. M. C- A.s, but in the
new schools and colleges, which the
government is everywhere starting.
Coles:e-Bred Secretaries.
"Tell me something about the for
eigners who are working here in the
Y.M. C. A.," said I.
"We have 32 Americans, Canadian
and English secretaries in China and
Corea, all of whom are working under
the auspices of our international com
mittee. These men are university train
ed; they represent such cdlleges as Ox
ford and Cambridge, England, and
Yale, Princeton, Cornell and McGill, In
America. We have also graduates of
our western Institutions, and several
from our theological seminaries.. The
Tientsin association was started Veight

France, Spain and Germany.
According to a geography of China
just issued by the Jesuits, tho Catholic
church now reckons its following at
1,000,000 believers who have been bep
tized. It has 42 bishops, 1700 priests
and about 6000 chapels. Of its priests
1200 are foreigners.
The Work of the Protestants.
As to the Protestants, their foreign
staff now numbers about 3500, of
whom less than 1600 are men and al
most 2000 are women. Of the latter
1000 are married and 984 single. The
Protestants have more than 5000 mis
sion stations scattered over the empire,
and they claim altogether about 25,000
of a Christian community They be
gan their work only a little more than
100 years ago, and at first made way
but slowly. As far back as 70 years
ago they had only six communicants.
In 1853 they had no more than 350 and
in 1$65 only 2000. Ten years later
their converts had increased to 13,000,
and in the next decade that number
had doubled. At present there, are be
tween 2000 and 3000 native Protestant
-congregations, and their baptized Chi
nese number about iso.uou. ne mis
sionaries claim that this increase is
gratifying, and say that if they ad
vance during the next generation in
the same ratio as In the past they will
at the end of that time have over 25,
000,000 communicants and a Christian
community of over 100,000,000. This is
one-fourth of the whole Chinese na
tion. I give these figures from mis
sionary authorities 'and those of Pro
tpsfnnt Christianity. The Roman Cath-
1 olics could make a .much better show
ing.
School Work Among the Missions.
The great education movement which
is now going on in China was started
bv the missionaries and is largely car
ried on bv them. Many of them are
teaching in the Chinese government
schools, and most of the text books are
of their composition' The first Chinese-English
dictionary was made by
the first Protestant missionary to
China. This was the Rev. Robert Mor
rison, who arrived here in 1S07. In
connection with Dr. Milne he also made
the first Chinese bible. It was Mr.
"Wylie of the London Mission who pre-
a u -f!,.c- rhinpKfi school books in
fmathematics. and later text books on
other subjects, including geology, were
written by Muirhead, Edkins and Wil
liamson. The chief authorities on in
ternational law and political economy
now in use in the government acade
mies and colleges were prepared by
Dr W A P Martin, and geographies
and other books by rr C. D. Tenney,
the Chinese secretary of our legation
a.t PItinpr
The printing press was brought into
China by the missionaries. Dr. S. Wells

at Canton, and the first power press
was brought to Shanghai by the Pres-

35.C00 boys and more than 7000 girls are
now in attendance, and in the higher
schools there are 12,000 young men and
almost 3000 young women. These seem
but small numbers in comparison with
the 13,000,000 or 14,000,000 pupils In
our public schools, but each of these
Chinese students will be a working force
in the reorganization of the empire, and
this will be especially so with the wom
en. The government schools for girls
are crying for Chinese teachers, and the
missionaries tell me that it is almost
impossible for them to hold their girls
until they graduate, because of the
salaries offered them to leave and go
teaching outside.
The 31edlcal Work.
There is one phase of mission work
which is approved of by both Chinese
and foreigners. The Chinese welcome it
and contribute largely to its support.
I refer to the medical missions. They
are doing an enormous amount of good.
They are to be found in all the large
centers, and the doctors connected with
them could, if they would, leave and
make fortunes by practicing among the
wealthy Chinese. Notwithstanding this,
they stay with their work and on piti
fully low salaries, wear themselves out.
The Protestants have now in China 166
hospitals and 241 dispensaries. They are
treating more than 1,000,000 out-patients
each ear, and this is in adcVI-'v
tion to the 35,000 odd in the hospital
proper. Every well equipped mission sta
tion has its despensary and hospital, and
are all men of high class.
Patronized by the Officials.
I am surprised at the high Chinese
officials who are interested in the Y.
AI C. A. movement. Yuan Shih Kai,
the great general and statesman, has
subscribed a great deal to the associa
tion at Tientsin and Peking. Tong
Shao Yi has given a great deal, as has
also "Wu Ting-fang, the former am
bassador to "Washington. Chen 3Iun
Yen is a member of the Shanghai as
sociation, and Tong Kai San, one of
the members of the opium commission,
belongs to the national commission.
Many of the leading institutions and
business firms of China are subscrib
ing to the Y. II. C. A. The Chinese
Merchant Steamship company recently
gave over ?1000 to the Shanghai asso
ciation, and in that company there are
60 sustaining members, each of whom
pays $50 a year.
Teachlnj? the Chinese Professors.
The Y. M. C. A. is- doing much in
the new education of China. There are
students' associations in various
schools and colleges which have a
memership of SO.OOO. They publish a
jpaper called China's Young Men, which
has a circulation of about 4000, and
goes in to every province of the em
pire, and in addition to this there are
something like 12,000 copies of other
publications printed each year.
Robertson of Tientsin recently
brought out a cabinet containing- ap
paratus for the performance of 500 dif
ferent experiments in physics, and he

cated for the purpose in the United

opened, and In time China will have its
own female physicians.
Yonng 3Iens Christian Association.
A new influence which has recently
come into Asia is our Young Men's
Christian association. It is already one
of the live forces of this part of the
world, and is doing wonders along edu
cational and other lines. It has now
a firm foothold in Japan, where the
Tokio branch has a magnificent build
lug with some thousand members. At
Seoul a big modern structure has been
put up by John AVannamaker, and the
society is the most popular young men's
club of the Korean capital, while here
at Shanghai the institution building has,
with its lot, cost something like 200,
000, and is as fully equipped as the av
erage Y. M. C. A. of the United States.
The Shanghai building is lighted bj
electricity and heated by hot water. It
has large -.classrooms, with American
desks, lecture rooms and club parlors;
ij: ha& a modern gymnasium and upto
date bathrooms. When I visited the
gymnasium today I found a score of
Chinese young men working awayunder
a physical' trainer, and the yellow
skinned fellows were doing almost as
well as the boys of our colleges.
This Shanghai institution has a lec
ture hall which seats 700; it has a well
patronized reading room, with Chinese
and foreign papers and periodicals, and
also a billiard room, which attracts the
better class of Chinese young men. The
schoolrooms, which, .when the building
was opened, were supposed to be large
enough for the next 10 years, were
taxed to their utmost capacity before
the first year was ended, and they are
now occupied from morning until late at
night About 400' students are being pre
pared for college at a tuition of $12
per year, and there are also classes for
Chinese college graduates. There are
evening classs for boys and men. Type
writing is taught and stenographic sec
retaries are made.
The Shanghai Association.
This Shanghai association is support
ed by the natives; and this is truejif
nearly all the Y. M. C. A.'s in the em
pire. There is a large association in
Peking, another in Tientsin and others
in Canton. Suchow, Hangchow, Hankow
and elsewhere. There arc over 75 con
nected with the colleges and other
schools of China, and branches are
starting in all of the great business
centers.
The merchants and literati are inter
ested in the Y. M. C. A. movement. There
are 500 business men and scholars of
note who belong to the Shanghai insti
tution, and each of these pays $50 a year
toward its support. This gives it an in
come from that source alone of $25)000
per annum, and the regular tuition fees
bring in considerable. The awakening of
China is creating a great demand .for
Chinese who can speak and write Eng
lish, and the boys know that they can
get five times as much salary if they
are so equipped Thjs fact is crowding
the day schools of the association with
pupils who wish to learn English, and
the night classes are full of such men.
China and the Olympic Games.
The athletic feature also forms a
great drawing card. When the Y. M. C.
A. came to China, 10 years ago, the na
tives had no Interest in athletics The
old Chinese scholar prided himself up
on his green goggles, his long finger
nails, his attenuated form and his hol
low chest. Ylth the bringing of ath-
authorjties to witness them. They
were greatly interested, and as a re
sult physics was introduced in many
of the schools. Nearly every associa
tion has Its stereopticon lectures, and
the audience halls are well filled.
The secretaries are ready to do all
sorts of work along the lines of the
new movement. Not long ago the edu
cational authorities of Tientsin wanted
to introduce the electro-plating into
their industrial schools. They imported
a costly apparatus from abroad, but
could not make it work. They called
upon Prof Cole of the Y. M. C. A., who
happened to be an expert on this very
line. He put the apparatus Into shape
and has been conducting the classes
with splendid success for two years.
At present here at Shanghai and
Tientsin bureaus of advice have been
established for Chinese students going
abroad. Here the young men can buy
their tickets, learn all about the char
acter and standing of the great col
leges of America, England and Ger
many and have letters of Introduction
which will help them on their way.
Another striking illustration of the
enterprise of these organizations was
the assistance which the Chinese stu
dents got when they 'went to Japan.
Just after the signing of the Ports
mouth treaty between Russia and Ja
pan the Chinese began to go to the
latter country for study. They came at
the rate of about 15.000 a year. They
were away from home, and conse
quently easily reached by influence,
good or bad. The Y. M. C. A of Tokio
received them with open arms. It got
quarters for them, started classes In
English and had meetings at which
from 1200 to 1500 were present at once.
It exerted an enormous influence, and
this is even now felt in China.
