| Mr.. Jasper's sermon, ''De Sun Do
Move" opens with a graphic descrip-
ton of the Israelites, beginning with
Abraham. "The Bible said the sun
stood still. Is anybody going to say
that the sun was standing still before
Joshua told it to stand still? Do
you think Joshua would have asked
God to stop the sun if she had not
been moving? And yet the philoso-
pliers say the sun stands still and the
world revolves around ii. Where
they get their authority from, l don't
know. 1t is nonsense to say that
the sun does not move David in the
55th Psalm, says, The mighty God,
even the Lord, hath spoken, and
called the earth from the rising sun
unto the going down thereof Is it
possible that this means the sun does
not move? That man who says the
sun does not move, he does not read
his Bible" Then he proceeds to
riddle the theory that the earth is
round, bringing up the passage from
the Apocalypse, And after these
things sa w four angels standing on
the four corners of the earth, that the
wind should not blow on the earth,
nor on the sea, nor any tree" Now
if the earth is round" triumphantly
asks Mr.. Jasper, 'how could the
angels stand on the four corners
They tell us that people are living
directly under u.s. How in the name
ofcOmmon sense can they walk, unless
they move like flies on Il wall. with
their feet upward ~ This of course
settles the matter for Mr.. Jasper's
1000 members And | am bound to
add, it ought to settle it for ALL if there
are any such nowadays, who hold to
the literal statements of the English
Bible. Mr.. Jasper's Interpretation of
the Bible is entirely logical, from the
literal point of view, and much great
er men than he in the church have
held precisely the same view. He is
simply a consistent conservative.

vERMONTAs A MISSIONARY FIELD.

Rev. c. H. Merrill of st. .Johnsbury,
secretary of the Vermont Domestic
Missionary society, made some re-
markable statements at the First
church at Burlington recently about
the condition of religious affairs in
this state One-ffth of the Congre-
gational pulpits i'll this state are va
cant. Vermont ministers are doing
more work for less pay than any
other ministers in the country. One
half the population of the state of
Vermont are not only unchurched;
they are absolutely unreached by
any religious agency. The people of
the state are giving literally to the
support of foreign missionary work,
while their own state is fast becOm-
ing missionary field The reason
for this is, Mr.. Merrill thinks, that
the people know about the distant
fields and are ignorant concerning
the home field. A Kansas clergyman
recently sent to Mr.. Merrill for 1875
copies of Rev. Henry Fairbanks
map and pamphlet, showing the re-
ligious restitution of this state, for
distribution among the people of
Kansas to inform them regarding
the missionary problem of the East
A similar request was recently
received from the South. The
foreigners in Vermont are not
the ones who are thus destitute.
The Roman Catholic church cares
well for its children Those who are
not being reached are Yankee born,
native New England stock Mr.
Merrill cited the case of a man, born
and living in Vermont, who is now
pastor of an active church in this
state, who never heard an evange1-
ical sermon preached until he entered
Middlebury college. These are few
of the statements made showing the
need that exists in Vermont. The
other side of the story is that the
work of the society is gradually COM
ing up and the outlook is encourage
ing.

him that he found upon the ship a
leaf from the Bible, which he kept as
a curiosity. II CHANGED to contain
the text: "For God so loved the
world that he gave his only begotten
son, that whatsoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlast-
ing life" Upon this one passage
turned the whole career of the fugi-
tive. He drifted to Boston, and
gained the confidence and received
the substantial aid of thelate Alpheus
Hardy, who placed him in the Am
herst high school, and continued to
supply him with funds during his
course at Amherst college and at
Andover theological seminary. Nee
sima is remembered as a hard-wOrk-
quired knowledge with much diff
Guilty, but who mastered his studies
for what there was in them and not
for the classroom. He was ordained
and settled over the Mt. Vernon
church a t Boston i'll September, 1874,
and a few weeks later caught the
public ear by remarkable appeal
for Japan, delivered at the American
Board meeting. Many accounts of
the effect of Neesima's elOquence up
on that audience have been printed.
Neither gifted with flowing diction
nor notable for grace of delivery, he
stood before the Board as messen-
ger from the East appealing for help.
There was no doubt about the re-
Spouse. Neesima gave up his church
and returned to his native country
after 10 years absence well equipped
for his mission In the remarkable
spread of Christianity i'll Japan of
late years Joseph Nees1ma was an
important instrument He leaves as
the special monument to his energy
and Judgment the Kyoto training
school for young men.
The relations of Mr. Neesima with
the government officials were a ma
terial part of his work in the cause
of missions. The leading men in the
empire were beginning to feel the eff
feet of western influences, and it was
Neesima's good fortune that he
reached Japan at so favorable a time.
His personal relations with the Off
Gals was such that he rendered valu-
able service to the missions in vari-
Gus ways. He visited America in
1885, and spoke at the Amherst
alumni dinner, and at other gather
ings. Curiously enough, his name is
associated with the more recent
popularity of chrysanthemums in
this country. He gave the seeds,
which were brought from Japan, to
Mrs. Alpheus Hardy, and the latter
sent them to Cambridge florist,
who in turn named two varieties af-
ter Mrs. Hardy and Mr.. Neesima.
The dead missionary had many
warm friends in America, particularly
in New England. His visits to
Springfield were frequent, and his
talks about his country and his work
were very entertaining Springfield
