Drafts or checks sent to Mr. Hubbard should be made payable to his order as Assistant Treasurer. We take this last opportunity to invite our friends to meet us in Taunton, Mass., October 2931. We shall hope to see a goodly number of the old teachers and early friends of the work. Wednesday evening will be mainly in their hands. Among the speakers will be Revs. George R. Merrill, Martin L. Williston, C. M. Southgate, Svlvanus Haywood, W. S. Alexander, and O. W. Demick, Esq. As we go to press, everything promises well for a meeting of unusual interest and power. The people of Taunton are large hearted, and will be glad to have their hospitality taxed to the utmost. The new Chinese Ambassadors are men from whose intelligence, experience and wisdom we have much to hope. Chin Lan Pin, first ambassador, is a man of deep learning, being a graduate of the Han Lin College, of the highest class, and a man of extensive travel and observation as well. In 1872, he visited this country as Chief Commissioner in charge of the Chinese students sent to be educated in the Connecticut colleges, and he subsequently visited England and Spain on similar missions. In 1874, he was one of the three Commissioners who were sent by the Chinese Government to Cuba, to investigate the condition of the Chinese laborers there. After locating the several consulates appointed for the United States, he will visit Spain and procure the recognition of a Consul for Cuba, and thence proceed to Peru for a similar purpose. He will then return to Washington and take up his abode as resident Minister. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
