Therefore she quite naturally retnses.
Still, though this 10 a. great objection
to accepting Christianity in minds of
Japanese people, it might be overcome,
If practice of Christians in daily life
was superior to practice of people of
any other religion, but this is not the
case Since Christians have come TO
Japan, many vices have been introduc-

quito differently. Civilization consists
in people being pure and good in their

Great Master Contucius on this sub

branches. II you lightly esteem the
root and attend principally to the
branches, you extend disorder and ra-
pine among the people" Look at the
great ''civiIized" cities Of London and
Paris and New York, and see now true
this is. In these places all the effort
of both government and people is to
"attend principally to the branches y
and in what "uncivilized' and "hea.
