this doctrine of an opus OpeEat1ln, or y amend
the expressions in the Liturgy so as to be more
consistent with the principles of the Clergy who

that wauc of selfknowledge and self inquiry which
has tended so materially to fill the prisons with
criminals, to say nothing of the dark and unen-

The Claims of japan.

The Presbyterian Missionaries Of the Reunited
Northern church have addressed memorial to the
ministry and church membership in which they
present the claims of Japan and offer it. with a
population of from twenty to thirty millions OF
people, as a special field of missionary operations
for the United Church.
6 1t is nearer to the United States than to any
other Protestant Christian nation, and the work of
evangelizng it naturally devolves upon the Amerl-
can Churches. And so the other Protestant ma
tons have interpreted our duty, for thus far they
have left the field to American missionaries
The japanese look to the United States for in
struction in the arts of peace. They use our
school-books and apparatus; they send their young
men for the most part to our schools and colleges,
and will do so more exclusively in the future; they
look to us for teachers and thus far the preference
seems to be for missionaries as those best quallhed
to instruct them. As we already have the field,
and the strongest influence with the Japanese,
shall we not do our full duty in entering in with
such force as to possess the whole land? In all the
secular departments American enterprise is doing
its duty; shall not the American Church show
equal zeal and fidelity?
Again, Japan has peculiar claims upon the Pres
byterian Church. OF nineteen missionaries male
and female, sixteen are Presbyterian n doctrine
ana oruer nine OF IneIn pelhB OohhSS.eu "i'n IN
Reformed Church and seven with the Presbyte-
rian. While we would therefore extend hearty
welcome to missionaries of any evangelical body,
we cannot but feel DESTROYS that the Presbyterian
Church, already so largely represented here should
so fully occupy the field that other churches may
feel themselves free to enter other open fields as
destitute as this We think it generally desirable
while the field is so broad, that different donomi-
nations should, at the outset, strive to keep sepa
rate upon the mission fields And especially is this
desirable among people so quick of discernment
as the japanese, and who, because Of their past
experience with Roman Catholic Christianity viii
naturally be much inclined to watch and criticise
missionaries who labor among them Our Church
now, with its increased numbers and resources, is
fully able to throw large force into this field.
Will the Church accept the offer, and embrace the

What it Comes to.-The following is from the
last Christian Union of New York, the paper now
edited by the notorious Beecher.
1.-THE mixed school question has been brought
up again in Washington, colored child having
been forced into white school through permit
from one of the Trustees, political demagogue.
There is, Washington correspondent explains, a
very small and very mean class of blacks in Wash
ington who are ashamed of their own color, and
they decline to send their children to the colored
schools, which share equally with the white schools
in the city school fund. Every colored child sent
to white school crowds out white child, just as
a white child would crowd out colored child if
sent to colored school. The pestential class be-
ing generally too lazy to work at respectable call
ing, devote themselves to politics, and become the
tools of demagogues and office seekers. There is
yet to be found in Washington, adds the Times
correspondent, either public office or a newspa-
per that has the courage to handle them as they
deserve"
