J?h? i A good audience gathered at the First Methodist church last evening to listen to an nddress on "The Ups and I>owns of Life in Chlna^' by Hev. Dr. Ollhert Keid, founder and direct? or of the International Institute of China. He had a most unusual story to tell, of his tlrst attempts to secure the friendship and confidence of mandarins and literuti in Peking, and the imperial sanction given to his prospective institute in 1897, with $lf>, 01)0 subscribed by Chinese and other friends; of his two years' campaign in raising money In Europe and this country, gaining interest and endorse? ment from many though beset by dis? couragements and unfavorable con? ditions; of the rising tide of reaction in China, of the Hoxer upheaval nnd the sieg?? of the Legations, where Dr. 1 lost his arm and was wounded In the defense, and his scheme of an Institute was In abeynance; of re? moval to Shanghai and re-organ Uatlon, win n tin- Chinese contributed U5.000 for a site and $5,000 for a building; of the progress of his edu- ! rational work, and increased ac-1 quaintance among the leaders of ? 'bins in all parts of the Empire; of the second endorsement of the \r i stltute by the Chinese government in 1909, and the farewell reception1 which was given pior to return to j this country; and of the difficulties now experienced in securing Ameri? can cooperation and financial assist? ance for American associates In the work.
