 Notwithstanding the very stormy evening of the 14th, goodly number came out to listen to the address of Rev Iso Abe on Japan and the very rapid changes going on in that country. He described old Japan as asleep under the feudal system, with it's prescription of Christianity and all Christian teaching, telling us how all this has been changed in little more than 25 years. Now missionaries are very generally welcom- ed and regarded with favor, and Christi anity is gaining a great influence. In the late election, as in the former election, large per cent, in regard to their number, of Christians, were elect oI tbo al; than 40 churches under the American Board in Southern Japan. He told us how Japan had awakened to new life which could be seen on every hand, as in change of clothes, mannersof building and furnishing their houses, their mode of government, their keen desire for edu- cation, and, in very marked sense, their study of philosophy, science and Christian truths. MT Abe illustrated his lecture by showing many stereopticon views of old and new Japan and also few of the idols he was accustomed to bow before, q little over l2 years ago. Rev MT Abe, after his conversion, about l2 years ago, began the study of Chris tian truths and doctrine and, at length, the preparation for the ministry. Some four years ago, he was made pastor of a church in Okoyama, with l3s members and, when he left to come here seven months ago, his church had grown to over 600 members. Mir Abe, although he has been in this country but about l seven months, pursuing theological course at Hartford seminary, yet speaks very intelligible English.
