THE TALK OF THE DAT.

Saw an intelligent Government Official Of japan,
our country is in q deplorable state far A.
relIgion is concerned. The people OF the better
classes arc largely agnostics They believe In no
religion and though the bulk Of them are nominally
Buddhists they really infdcls. believe that any
religion Is better than no religion, and there Is
at present room in Japan for all the work that both
the Buddhists and Christians can do. when the two
religions have conquered tho empire and the sects
come together there may be trouble, but not before
We have now preachers and the Christians have
their missionaries There is vast field ooforo u.s.
and there is room for both to do good.'
