Capt. Inuian of Duluth, had to say upon

Mr. Inman, in his address, confined
iniself largely to a description of a model

The Chinese Christmas is a day of church
going. In every temple people are going
and coming from early morning until late
at night. The women and ciiildren are
seen with bowed heads in the teniples, ‘mt

the Chinese Christmas there are few pre-
