scrvaton Of the ritual is maintained by great
army of priests and BONES; but the people 90
not appear to have any faith in these old sys-

Those who have the interests OF Christianity

cusion that such an adoption of q State religion
would be the most formidable hihdrance TO inc
cvangelization of the japanese people. They would
obey their rulers and learn the new cult. They
would 90 to church and perform all the ceremonial
functions But there they would stop. The mean
ing the significance of Christianity would escape
them. They would look upon it as merely an
Indifferent substitute for the WORKOUT old crceds,
and would render it perfunctory lpservlce.
After few years experience of this kind they

A .I1P1NEGE IDEG

II has been rumored for some time that the
japanese Government contemplated the remark
able though not unprecedented step of officially
adopting and proclaiming the Christian religion.
This has been done before, notably by COnstan-
tine and when i: was done the general con-
dition of civilization too low for it to be
regarded Objectionable measure. When all
religions more less political il was natural
that governments should order people to believe
thus and So pain OF punishment, and the
people did not scruplc to conform with the edics
Of their rulers. The situation is different to-day
IL is questionable whether any hierarchy would
now defend effective and Iustifable the impO.
sition Of State religion upon II nation practically
unacquainted with IL. Nevertheless. il is probable
that japan will encounter few obstacles in carrying
out her new project, at least external obstacles.
As 10 the reception Of cut-and-dred State faith
by the japanese people, that is another question.
They are a very reasonable and generally dOclc
race, but they can be obstinate at times, and
when they are 80 not even the threat OF some
thing lingering, with boiling oil in it will
coerce them into surrenderng their convictions.
At present however, the Government has in its
favor the fact that the old National religions
