CONG UERING AND TO CON-
OUER.

Eastward the star of Bethlehem takes
its way. We are told in lecture ON
Japan, recently delivered before the
American Geographical Society in Chick
ering Hall, New York, by the Rev Dr.
Edward w. Syle, of England that " the
government has adopted the European
calendar and keeps Sunday as an official
holiday" He adds that even in the
commercial treaty between Japan and
Corea we find in the Custom House regu-
lations, the clause Sundays excepted. y"
Some of the Buddhist priests who have
travelled abroad have returned to Japan
with the conviction that the best thing
they can do for the people is to teach
reformed Buddhism in connection with
Western science, and a recent graduate
from the University Of Pennsylvania is
now engaged as professor in a Buddhist's
college at Kiyoto. The University Of
Toxic, in which the lecturer was professor
Of history and moral philosophy, is or
ganized with much completeness, having
faculties Of law, literature, physics, chem
istry, medicine, and engineering, the pro-
fessors being English and American in
about equal numbers, there being in all
departments 1000 students.
The speaker reviewed some Of the
changes that had taken place since ff-
teen years ago when intercourse with and
knowledge Of the world was almost cut
off from Japan by the rigid laws and Gus
toms of the government. When Nor
denskj6ld came down to Japan from the

PERE HYACINTHE has reached the con-
viction that modern French Popery is
kind of Paganism, and says that it has
two idols-one male. the other female;
the male idol is the Pope, the female
idol the Virgin Mary" And yet there
are some poor creatures in America,
brought up in the full light of day, who
are trying to worship these idols, and
who persuade themselves that they can
do them some good. They are people who
are afraid to defy God openly, but who
are not willing to make full surrender
and submission to him. Therefore, as
they cannot get their consent to live reli-
giously according to the evangelical Pro-
testant sense, they throw themselves into
the arms of Popery, and hate Protestant
ism more than the original Papists.
There is, possibly, more pitiable class
than these-those who fit between Pro-
testantism and Romanism-th ecclesias
teal bats, who belong neither to the
birds nor the beasts They climb up and
look over the fence into the medieval
gardens, but they are afraid to get down
at once. You will see one drop into the
garden every now and then.
We can understand everything better
than these two. We can understand how
men like Huxley and Spencer lose their
faith; we can understand how male or
female broughtup in Ireland or Italy may
inherit the superstitions of Rome; but
the embracing of Romanism by person
who has read Hume. or Macaulay, or
Froude, or Knight, or Hallam, or Robert
son, or Milman, or any other history of
the whole or part of Europe; or this
modern bastard hybrid called Ritualism;
these are simply unintelligible, and only
to be referred to the incomprehensibility
of human nature-as when you see an old
man of 80 just as bent on political life or
on his speculations in stocks, as when he
was young and with good prospect of
living before him.

numerous and of high order Five
American ladies teach in the normal in
stitution for girls. The Empress had
visited the school and contributed $4,000
toward its support Woman is respected
in Japan, and dignifed regard is had
for her welfare
1t certainly sounds very strangely that
at the moment when Americans are agi-
tating the question of overturning the
Christian Sabbath, we should find the day
formally recognized by the government
of this remote Asiatic empire. We think
those who fancy that they have broken
down the Christian religion with their
new atheistic PHILOSOPHERS, would do we'll
to take note. that the gospel ideas are at
this time spreading over the continent of
Asia (and Africa, and annihilating ven
cradle systems like Buddhism and Brah-
manism, which have prevailed there for
twenty-five hundred or three thousand
years. Christianity will outlive John
Stuart Mill, Heckel, and Herbert Spen-
Ger, as it outlived CELSIUS and Porphyry,
and Averroes, and Spinoza, and Hobbies,
and Voltaire, and Strauss, and the rest;
and it will sweep away Buddhism and
Brahmanism and Confucianism, as it
swept away the gods of Greece and Rome
and Egypt and Gaul and Germany and
Scandinavia.

WE do not fancy Peter in faultless black,
with a coat cut straight down in front. Z y His
raiment, at least in his earlier life, consisted of
his fishers coat, and when at Joppa he com
muned with the King of kings, he was sur
rounded with the tainted atmosphere of his
friends lanyard Central Presbyterian.
This is true but it does not follow that Peter
was any more an apostle, or that his service was
more acceptable to the Master, because of the
clothes he wore. God is no respecter of per
sons" This text is sometimes quoted with an
accent and in a connection which exactly re
verses its meaning The impression is left that
wealth and refinement and good clothes are
some how or other Objectionable to God and
hindrances to usefulness and that the poor are
in more respect than the rich.-Herald and
Presbyter.
We did not intend to convey the idea
that Peter would be accepted because he
wore mean, clothes. We intended to in
innate that people will not be accepted
because they wear good clothes. We find
it difficult to understand how our meaning
could have been inexperienced. We do
not know how it is in Ohio, but we can
tell the Hra1d and Pres6yter that in this
part of the world there are nice people
in church who do not at all fancy the idea
Of associating with poor people in heaven.
They do not say so in terms, but they at
tach great deal more Importance to the
social airs which anybody puts on than
they do to the individuals piety. And
they consider themselves the very creme
de Ia creme of the ecclesiastical world and
as rejecting positive lustre on Christi
anity by their good breeding.

The foreign missionary work is be-
coming exceedingly interesting. We note,
for example, the following item in one of
our exchanges: "a Brahmanee, Mo-
hammedan, and Jew, were all received
at the same time, recently, into mis-
sionary church at Bombay The break
ing up of the old systems of antiquity,
which have come down in the East to
our days, is one Of the noticeable facts Of
the present time.

A COOP BEGINNING.-T members
of the Pennsylvania Legislature, Messrs.
PATRIOT and Rumberger, have been SEN
fenced by court in that State to pay
fine of 81 900 each, and to one years i'm
prisonment in solitary confinement at
hard labor in the Eastern Penitentiary.
The sentence, it is said, fell like thun-
derbolt on the prisoners, and they stood
looking at Judge Pierson as if not know
ing what to do. Our State prisons are
beginning to have the very best peo-
pie in them, and we are glad to see it.
P. S. Since writing the above, the con-
victs have been. pardoned. If they had
been couple of poor negroes, and had
stolen $40, they would have gone to the
Penitentiary. That is the way.

WHAT are we eating? is becoming one
of the grave questions of the day. We
have become accustomed in the cities to
adulterated milk, but now it is stated that
millions of pounds of oleomargarine are
sold as butter, and S3O,00O,OO0 are said
to be invested in the manufacture of glu-
cose, which is used in candy, syrup, and
other articles in place of sugar. This
glucose, as it is manufactured in this
country, has been found to contain lime,
copperas, lead, oil of vitriol etc. 1t is
curious that they should make candy out
of oil of vitriol. But you have seen GER
tain soft-spoken, sweet-throated people
who have the poison of asps under their
lips.
1t is proper to add to the above that,
the Scientific american defends oleomar-
garine, and affirms that it is Gas whole
some as beef or butter and that ait is
far superior to the common grades of
butter"

ed lunatic child after his disciples had
failed to. relieve him that on another
occasion near Jericho, he opened the
eyes of two blind men, and that, in short,
for some three years, he was in the daily
habit Of performing miracles, frequently
healing numbers on the same occasion of
their various maladies, leprosy, palsy,
deafness, blindness, demoniacal posses
sion, etc.
The above miracles were for. the most
part performed in Galilee, as was also that
other remarkable miracle, performed at
wedding, where Jesus turned more than
100 gallons of water into wine The evan
gelist John mentions others that were
performed in Jud@a, as the raising of
Lazarus from the dead, at Bethany the
healing of the impotent man in Jerusalem
at the pool of Bethesda; the healing of
one born blind in Jerusalem, etc.
Now did these things happen? Would
the four evangelists have been guilty of
the absurd folly of publishing four sep
arate detailed accounts of these miracles
among the very people where they were
alleged to have been performed, if they
had never heard of any such occurrences?
Two of the accounts were made public
twenty-five years after Christ's death.
With one consent, if these publications
had been false, the Jews would have said,
Nobody ever heard of this before. Would
anybody dare in the year 1905 to pub
lish book here in Richmond affirming
that in the years 1878-'79-'9O a certain
well-known preacher performed a num-
Der Of miracles in this city and in Peters
burg, and raised man from the dead in
Manchester, giving his name, and the
names of his sisters? Nor is it to be sup
posed that during the twenty-five years
which interviewed between the death of
Christ and the publishing of the gospels
of Matthew and Luke, the apostles had
been silent. They had gone about pro-
claiming the resurrection Of Christ, and
the miracles performed by him. Luke
expressly refers to written accounts which
had preceded his Western Asia was
alive with these discussions.
Thus, it is not merely on the authority
of the martyr-evangelists, who were evil
IDENTIFY pure men, that we accept these
facts; but we ground our acceptance also
on the belief that such statements could
not then have been uttered and circu-
lated in Palestine if they had not been
true. By common consent they would
have been repudiated as nonsense. But
they hare hved to this day.
Now add the alleged fact of the Resur-
rection and Christ's formal prediction Of
that event by the Last Supper, and in
explicit words, and the observance of the
First Day of the Week ever since, as well
as the Lords Supper, in commemoration
of that event.
Add also the CHARACTER of our Lord
the birth and growth of the Church
the adaptation of Christianity to our case
the utter worthlessness of all other
schemes-the character Developed IN the
believer by a sincere acceptance of Christ
and have we not evidence that cannot be
resisted

For ourselves, We think this last cause
and that under are the most opera
tive. With regard to the latter, while it
is true that the ministry have as much
Latin and Greek and Moral Philosophy
ETC., as formerly, they have dropped far
behind in the physical sciences of the
day, and our age is especially given to
the study of physical science. Butler or
even Chalmers was furnished to cope with
the scepticism of his day; but match
Howard Crosby or Talmage or Beecher
or Philip Brooks or DR.. John Hall against
Tyndall or Boyd Dawkins or Heckel,
and what can he do? We shall have to
give attention to scientific studies even
IN our theological seminaries.
Another article of interest in the CATH
ohc Presbyterian is The Protestant Out
look, by Donald Fraser, D. D. The Rev.
DIR. Rainy has an article on Dr. Chalmers,
and DR.. Andrew Melville another on
" Early Times in Chald@a.'
We are glad to see in 1.-THE General
Survey" at the end of the number time
ly article from the Rev. DIR. Pitzer, of
Washington, D. c., on the "Revision of
Presbyterian Church Government" in the
Southern Presbyterian Church. Dr. Pit
ger points out and explains the changes
that have been made by the new Book of
Church Order in the Form of Government
and the Rules of Discipline.
A very valuable article is to be found
in the April number of the Nineteenth
Century by DR.. w B. Carpenter, F. R. s.,
on "The Deep Sea and its Contents, -
summing up the results of the late deep
sea dredgings He establishes one fact,
that the present continental areas and
the present ocean bottoms have in all
geological time been substantially what
they are now; that is to say, the sea and
land have never, as Lyell teaches, changed
places. This being so, what becomes of
the evolutionist's hope to find "the miss
ing link" in some submerged continent
or lost Lemuria?
The same periodical contains an article
by the Rev. Guinness Rogers entitled "a
Nonconformist's View of the Election. I"
There is another valuable contribution
from the prolific pen of the new British
premier on Religion, .Achaian and Sc
meticH
In the Contemporary Review Francis
W. Newman has an article on Personal
Property, Debt, and Interest" Professor
Mivart another on The Relations OF
Living Beings to One Another" and M.
Lenormant another on "The Genealogies
between Adam and the Deluge," which
we regard as very valuable.
The current number of the British

article, entitled Planets, Moons, and
Meteorites" is interesting. Another arti-
Gle is on THE Revolutionary Movement

In the american Journal of Science for

THE CHEYENNE SCHOOL.

The Cheyenne School is situated
three miles north of Darlington, in
a large and commodious three-story
frame building. w. j. Hadley, su-
perintendent, Miss E. E. Starr, prin-
cipal teacher, and Mrs. Hamilton,
matron, are assisted by an able corps
of instructors and other workers and
have worked the school up to a grade
which reflects credit on the entire
force. The discipline is excellent
and the order and system enforced
in this school cannot help being
stamped on the mind of every child
in attendance. If any one doubts the
ability of the Indian mind to learn
the common branches of an English
education, let him visit this school
and he will change his views. The
industrial interests of the school are
not neglected as the boys are taught
to handle and care for teams, milk
and care for cows, chop wood, etc
The girls learn to cook, wash, IRON
scrub, make and mend clothing, etc
When the children have learned all
they can in this school, think the
Government will find them needing
no further assistance. REPORTEE.

AMUSEMENT.

A company has been formed at
Fort Reno for the purpose of giving
social entertainments for the amuse-
ment of all who choose to attend the
entertainments. A Sciopticon Ian
tern has been procured and will be
used at each entertainment. The
instrument, we are told, is a very
excellent one. the views many and
varied, and calculated to give salts
faction to any audience. Dancing
will form part of each eveninsg ex-
ercises. A lunch will be served at
the close of each entertainment at
twelve o'clock. The object of the
club is not speculative, and the man
ayers think the low price of admis-
sion, fifty cents couple, will pay
the running expense. The energy
displayed by the managers Of the
club together with the very low
price of admission will, we think in
sure good houses and an enjoyable
entertainment.
