RELIGIOUS WORK IN JAPAN.
A Returned Missionary Tells of the
Progress Being Made

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-TSpecial Telegram to
The BEE. John t. Swift, of New York
City, who has been in Japan several years on
missionary work, in an address to the min
listers in this city to-day, stated that the
mental powers of the Japanese are remark
able. The deeper problems of philosophy
and metaphysics have an especial attraction
for the Japanese students and they grasp
them with singular force. 'Such minds are
wonderfully fitted for carrying forward the
work of the church, but in that great i'm
perial university at Toxic, with it's s, 900 stu
dents, the truths of Christ are not taught.
1t is the hotbed of iuiideity, the seat OF ag-
nostic philosophy. Men VINO are familiar
with the pages of Mills Spencer Darwin
and Huxley have never heard of Jesus, yet
even into this stronghold of materialism the
gospel has been carried. After some inquiry
twenty-six christians were found among the
students and an association for work has
been formed. The japanese are turning TO
the English language. 1t is being taught in
the schools and the pupils are required to
study it. The demand for English teachers
is so great that almost any person is seized
upon to teach. About seven thousand chil-
dren in the empire are being educated under
christian influences. Three millions are get
ting their education under the influences of
agnostic philosophy. You will thus realize
how great is the urgency for missionary
