Our understanding of is that it is the proclamation of the fact, historically attestetl by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, that we can summon to our aid a power not other wise possessetl by us. to enable us to live such a life. Mi. Mills understands the religion of Jesus Id be summed up in love to God and love to man; we understand that more fundamental than eithei is Christ's message tbal (iod loves us, hi- children, and will help us to the lilt of love To Mi. Mills, hi he d< lines the Gospel, it is the enunciation ofa new law, ill of the old law wilh a new clearness and pei hap.- new sanction ; to us it is thr i.v ■ lation of a new power making a new life possible. The question wbethei Christianity is to be regarded as a newlaw 01 a new power, as a summons to ,i new life, or an Offer ola new hie, dates from the dajs of Paul, the burden ol whose message was just this: that the Gospel is not a new law, nor a re enact ment ol the old law, but a power ot God unto salvation, a tree gift ol life coming hum the love ol God through Jesus Christ his son. So understanding ihe burden ■•( the Gospel message, as the Loitl Jesus Christ and bis apostles have clearly declared it, the missionary to Jap n ol China seems to have no occasion for doubt whethei the Gospel he preaches is to supersede llu. old religions, or merely to supplement them. He need not fca: depriving of her onh hold on tailh the deluded mother who gives hei child to the crocodile, because he puts her suffer ing heart in touch of One who redeems from all guilt anil sinfulness. No less than Science, the Gospel makes deadlywar upon superstition and false belief. But it also gives what Science cannot, the great puwel ol God unto salvation. Let every missionary then go forth filled with the powei of the Holy Ghost, and teach Christ boldly and plainly to every soul. ,i *s HI B| Rev. Dr. C. M.

While dissatisfied with some ol Dr. Lillian Abbott's 'advanced views, we rejoice in his explicit assertion of Christ's Hue message, 111 opposition to the error into which ReV. B. Fay Mills has lapsed. I le wiilcs: " The question, What is the message which Christ has given to his Church ? is a matter of the greatest importance, and on this question we find ourselves differing widely from Mr. Mills.

Thus the priest held ihe power of life and death, and the whole church became enslaved to tht tyrannous hierarchy, and tell into that hittei bondage and degradation which characterise the churches in Catholic countries, Latin or Greek Against this degrading saceidotacism the Reformed Chinches in ihe sixtei nth century rose up in In h Pp'teM.

I often recall Ihe. remark of a ministerial friend: "I believe, as a matter of principle, in foreign missions; but as to m.titers of administration I often have grave doubts." The question of methods is olten as important as the question ol aim and object. To do a needful work in a bungling way is to invite defeat and disaster. We are accustomed to criticise freely every individual 01 public enterprise, and missionaries can not, lor any reason of supposed finer motives and spun, expect exemption from such criticism. All who are in public life must expect it as a matter ol course, and accept it as part of the need ful discipline of lile. We arc, all of us, in tins earthly life at school, and when we expect happiness as the result ol ell Ht or grace, what we leally get is principle. If we find a true friend, anil think we are now sure ol the anticipated happiness, even friendship at ils best is only anotliei added discipline. But liom all the stones I he.ii, as well as liom my own experience, 1 think that missionaries, as a class, have quite as mc-ch ol life's discipline in ihe way ol criticism as any other class. 1 here is this added blessedness, that they are treated very often with insolence and contumely, and .tic expected to show under such treatment what is called a Chiist bkc spirit, meekness and submissivencss, n.. sense of injury done, still less any readiness to retaliate. ll what I may write in regard to the methods of Chri.tisn work in Japan may seem strange and unexpected, it should be remembered ihat 1 hive had an inside view of missionary life and work, and do not write from any merely superficial observation. being herded by wolves in sheep's cloth ihg, It is a great pit)- that the L rd's work should be made to suffer by the carping jealousy of such Workers who would have no work done for the Master unless by members of their guild. I notice the remark made in some criticisms of missionary work by some ol the rationalizing writers in the Japanese press, that if Christianity had been presented in a more rational form to the Japanese mind, it would have met with more general acceptance. Some rsf the many visitors from Christian churches in other lands do not scruple to make disparaging remarks about "the narrowminded" missionaries. It has been my privilege to meet scores of the missionary workers in my brief sojourn. The impression made upon me as I saw a hundred or more of them together in one assembly was this, th .t they were fair representatives of the Christian churches of western lands. They were not picked specimens, but what you would call "an average lot." There were cranks, and there were stupids; there were also born leaders of men, men of executive and organizing ability, men of wide intelligence, far reaching thought, weighty and sententious ut Christendom has not -cut teranee. selected spirits for its aggressive work in this abode of as ancient a civilization as is to be found in these modern days. But Ihe work of the world and the work of the church is to be done by common place men and women, lor the most part; and in carrying forward the work of the church, as in the history of the world, the spirit of God uses every day agencies and instrumentalities, and raises up special agents tor special emergencies. There are specialists here who have found their own paiticular line of work, and are doing it well. One sows and another leaps in Christian work: "To each man Ins work," "as the duty of the day requires;" and so Christ's Kingdom of Truth and Holiness marches on to the conquest of this world for Christ, slowly to our impatient desire, but surely after the counsel of Him who is wonderful in working and hasteth not, for all time is His, neither resteth for weari- I find missionaries from twenty seven ditleiciit organizations, besides some ness. independent missionaries, at work in As to the influence that Christianit) Japan. At first sight the number would is now exerting in the Japanese national seem distracting, but when it is rcmem life and character, it is acknowledged bered that thcie are forty millions of that the radical change wnich is needed people in Japan, very few ol whom have even been touched by Gospel light, these denominational distinctions do not nee essarily involve any distinction in the work. Most of the larger organizations work together in perfect harmoii) in fields that are not only far separated, but are also worketl on different lines. Ihere are some unpleasant exceptions in those Christians who claim to be the Lord's "peculiar people," and would overthrow the faith of some weak believ ers by telling them they are not in the true fold of the Good Shepherd, but are in Japanese civilization can come only from the spread of gospel truth. But it must be remembered that while conversion is instantaneous, and the change in our relations to God is the work of a moment, the change of controiing ideas and habits in individuals and social life is the work of time and of providential discipline. The essence of all sin is selfishness, and self-will is not eradicated at once, if it is deposed. It was an easy matter, comparatively, to set aside the rule of the Shogun and to set up this Japanese government on the new [November, 1897 b.tsis of a constitutional monarchy, but the Japar.eSs are still wrestling with problems the\- never confronted before and are floundering along with many mistakes in policy and method. But the leaven of individualism is at work in the whole social life, and the days til absolutism and misrule are things of the past. Leading Japanese themselves acknowledge that the hope of real reform lies in the principles of the Gospel, but they fear it will prove too weak for the task, as Shintoism and Buddhism evidently are. They have yet to learn its divine origin and conformity to the divine woikings in the material universe and the history of mankind. They want to project themselves and their own ideas into God's work, and to claim the glory for themselves, just as they employ architects and engineers Irom abroad, and when their woik is nearly finished dismiss them, put some Japanese in charge and claim the finished work as a proof of Japanese skill. That is really what is meant by this claim for a Japanese Christianity, of which we hear so often, but of which we can never get a clear statement as to its charactei and validity. It must be Jap anese, however. Just here is the chief weakness of Japan, an intense self conceit; and that patriotism, of which we are told there is an utter absence in Christian teaching, is, much of it, only an exrggerated vanity. It is self conceit magnified and reduplicated, as one's individual face is in those mirrors that have a multitude of faces. True patriotism, as 1 understand it, is not sell exaltation in this intensified form of national spirit, but the purpose and the endeavor to help onward and upward the life of the community by making each individual life most serviceable for God and for humanity. Paul was justly proud that he was "a citizen of no mean city:" he claimed for himself the privileges that belonged to his Roman citizenship, and resented injustice and injury in violation of his civil rights. He was a "Hebrew of the Hebrews," of the tribe of Benjamin that gave the first king to Israel. He was an Israelite, first and always; but no Israelite in his view had a right to keep to himself or claim as his own what was meant for mankind. It is this exaggerated "selfhood" that largely interferes just now with the rapid spread of Gospel principles and of the Gospel spirit among the churches and people of Japan, that was characteristic of the work a little while ago. The endeavor to make the churches independent and to inculcate the idea of self suppoi t, was a move in the right direction; but the phraseology was infelicitous. The Japanese aie very much as we used to be in early childhood, when we set up our wills against our elders to show that we had a will of our own; very much, too, as we learn there �Vol. 55, No. 11.] is an external world by its resistance to our physical organism. The nation is acting very much in the same way in this matter of treaty relations. The revised treaties were signed under the supposition that Japan had framed a new civil code on the basis of the fundamental ideas of western civilization. Now the code, then adopted, is under going "revision in charge of a commit tee who propose to alter its objectionable foreign features, and to makt it conform more closely to the immemorial customs of the Japanese people. It is with great anxiety that the foreign residents of Japan look forward to the date when they are to come as absolutely under Japanese rule as the people of the land. If "support of the pastor" had been the phraseology used, instead of "selfsupport," the issue would have been squarely joined. Now, the young pastors of "self supporting" churches are being frozen out of their pastoral olfice by the "independent" clubs, that these churches have become, and that propose to take the management of affairs into their own hands, leaving the "minister out in the cold" to shirk for himself. Not until the churches realize that "they are not their own," but organizations through which spiritual life is to be sustained and reproduced in accordance with ordinances of divine appointment through which both pastor and people must act, will the Christian churches of Japan fulfill their high calling in ministering to the spiritual life of this greit nation. The Gospel is the one remedy adapted to man's needs; but if a man does not feel his need of it, it is to him unreal and unnecessary. Spiritual life is not yet characteristic of Japanese Christians. It is a matter of experience and of growth, nurtured by keeping the soul in daily contact with God's truth, and deepened only as that truth penetrates deeper and deeper into the mind and heart and life. In church life, as in daily life, this "selfhood" of the Japanese in their present boyhood stage, makes itself felt If the butcher does not send a suitable piece of meat, and it is sent back, you get no more meat from him. If you keep your own jinrikisha man, you are boycotted at the jinrikisha stand, and cannot get one of the men to take you anywhere. If a missionary does not quietly submit to rebukes and rebuffs from those whom hi is doing his best to help and guide, he is denounced as acting unworthy of bis Christian profession. These petty annoyances, often repeated, are like "being bitten to death by minnows." Rudyard Kipling has expressed the great need of patience in dealing with such people as the Japanese, who show so much that is full of interest and encouragement in their character and condition, so much that is annoying and disheartening in personal experience and unfulfilled expectations: 85 THE FRIEND "It is not good for the Christian's health to hustle the Aryan brown; l-'or the l hristian riles and the Aryan smiles, and he weareth the Christian d wn: Ami the end uf the fight is a tombstone white, with the name of the late deceased.

Here, in Osaki, I find a somewhat different condition ol affairs, The work of the A. B. C. 1"\ M. here was begun before that in Kyoto and the Doshisha. Rev. Mr. Leavitt, one of the missionaries, was an ardent advocate of Selfsupporting Churches. There are now One of four such Churches here. them has a hospital in connection with it- The four are united in the support of a Gills' Boarding School, which at one time bail 400 pupils, now Ml. 'Ihe school buildings were erected by the Japanese members of these Churches. A separate building, a residence for the two foreign teachers was put up by a grant of |2,00fl from the Woman's Board of Missions. The Trustees, who have the management of the school are Japanese, and the pastor of one of the Osaka Churches is President of the Board of Trustees. He is an earnest devoted Christian worker, and emphasizes the duty of individual service in this conduct ol church affairs. But his predecessor, originally a man of similar spirit, and exemplary piety, alter his return from a visit to the States, conceived the idea that there ought to be a College for Girls, like Vassal, Smith, YVellesley. He tried to make this school In over into such a big institution. order to this, he tried to eliminate the evangelical idea, and substitute the ethical. He did not succeed, and under his management the school lost its former standard in discipline, and its prestige as a safe place for the education of Japanese girls. He has now retired from the management, but is pressing his idea of the need of such a school as he advocates, where Shinto parents or Buddhist parents may be assured that their daughters' ancestral faith will not be undermined or changed. He is an enthusiastic man, has the confidence of wealthy Japanese merchants, and nobles, and has secured subscriptions, I am told, amountiag to $ 100,000, to establish such an institution. Land has been bought on high ground near the castle, but more funds are needed to carry out Such facts as these in the project. regard to the Doshisha, and the Osaka Seminar), may serve to show something of the present condition of missionary work in Japan. respects to the By Rev. C. M. Hvde, D. D. We visited in Kyoto Rev. Dr. Learned, formerly one of the Professors in the Doshisha University. It was wonderful how that Institution grew and what a wide influence itexerted. It isjust as wonderful that it should have been so sum marily taken out of the management of those who had built it up, with funds given for this specific purpose, and put upon a different basis entirely in its scope and aim. It is sad to see the buildings once crowded with students, now rapidly dilapidating, and the number of instructors and students diminishing year by year. But one cannot be long in Japan without seeing how much influence for evil the war with China has had. Mill tarism is rife. Nationalism is the craze of the moment. So it is not to be wondered at that in the flush of military and naval success a few years ago, the Japanese over estimated themselves and imagined themselves unaided able to cope with all the powers and problems of the times. Foreign influences were minimized; foreign ways discarded; foreign teachers sent adrift. So the Do shisha suffered, more than the other schools, because more conspicuoas anil potential than they. It is easy to over throw and destroy; the devil is all the while busy at this work. But creative power is unique; the construction of society, and the developm«nt of institutions, proceed by slow processes generally, laborious not to say tedious. A reaction has set in, but the refluent tide at first has a hardly perceptible move ment. The property question in regard to the Doshisha could be easily managed if the moral attitude involved were only what it should be. The new President of the Doshisha in his inaugural address says, that it stands for individualism, cosmopolitanism, nationalism. These may be desirable objects, but they are far from that great ohjecf of evangelical Christianity, that was so emphasized by Joseph Neesima, whose name has been so honored in connection with the origin and progress of the Doshisha. Under the Shogunate, it was the policy of the governing powers to rule Formidable by astute management. Daimios, whose growing influence was feared, had their revenues lessened by must be taught and advocated. �86 B. THE FRIEND Fay Mills and Mr. Rader. The Rev. William Rader writes to The Pacific, respecting a declaration by the Rev. B. Fay Mills, that "I would not dogmatize either in affirmation or denial concerning the scriptures, the supernatural character and work of Jesus, or the mysteries of the world to come." Mr. Rader adds the sin prising statement, that "I have recently attended the examination of a young clergyman who made substantially the same doctri nal confession, and a council of Congregregational clergymen installed him without a dissenting voice." The Pacific cannot be thought to believe that a pastor should be installed over an Evan gehcal church, who has no settled opinion respecting the "supernatural character and work of Jesus," or con r.erning the authority of the scriptures. Hitherto we have not sympathized in the attacks of the Occident upon Mr. Rader. But in the above avowal, he seems to give his opponents much advantage. The Cungregationalist which repre sents New lingland Congregationalism, writes as follows of Mr. Mills' relations to the Presbyterian and Congregational churches: "He has, by his own statement, lost faith in the truths which to them are most vital. If he has nothing to aftitni or deny "concerning the Scriptures, the supernatural chsraclerand work of Jesus, or the mysteries ol tlie world to come,' he Certainly cannot represent those denu min.itions as a Christian minister." i: * "If we understand historic antl present Congregationalism, it finds its lite in these things, ami the revealed truths Concerning them are the gospel it pro claims."

They are pledged to abstain not only from intoxicants, but from foul language and tobacco. Their badge is knot of * blue ribbon. The Young Woman s Christian It in perance Union has done its shaic in supporting our missionary among the Hawaiians.
