a WORTHY OBJECT.
Permanent Mission Stations to
be Established in Japan.

The night service at the Lutheran
Church Sunday was devoted by the
pastor, Rev. j. A. Miller, to the con-
sideration of the permanent mission
station about to be established in Japan
by Rows. Scherer and Peery, both OF the
class Of 90, of Roanoke College. Mr..
Scherer left this country last February
and is now located at Saga, beautiful
city Of $4,000 people on the lower island
of Kyushyu. Saga is only five miles
from Ogi, town of 5000 people,
situation something like that Of Roam
ol1e and Salem only that in heather
Japan these two towns are connected by
first. class roads, over which omnibuses
make frequent trips during tho day.
Between Ogi and Saga are three or four
large villages, and it is proposed for Mr..
Scherer to live III Saga, where are now
fifty Christians, and for Mr.. Peery to
reside in Ogi, where there are no Chris
tians.
In Saga there is large government
school, with 900 pupils, and amongst the
teachers is DIR. Bradbury (Ph. d. Uni
versity of Virginia), who instructs in
English, and has bible class composed
of the other teachers, which has met
with 80 much success that tho director
of the school has stated his intention of
joining. DR.. Bradbury is now about to
leave this position to accept an engage
ment as missionary for the M. e. Church
in another part Of Japan, and Mr..
Scherer has been offered the vacancy
until the end of the term in March. He
will probably accept it, as it will thus
give him an opportunity to advance his
religious work and gain foothold. He
writes that he is very much encouraged
with his work, and thinks it will only
be few months before he will have a
congregation of his own, as there are a
number of young men in Sagaaready for
baptism.
Through the exertions and interest of
Rev. G. A. Miller the congregation of
the college church, the students, faculty.
and alumni of Roanoke College and the
Sunday-school and Children's Mission
airy Society will contribute $500 per
annum for the services of native
helper to Mr.. Scherer, who is supported
by the United Synod. Mr.. Poorly, who
is now at Toxic learning the language,
is supported by the congregation of the
Lutheran Church at Winchester, Va, of
which Rev. l.. G.. M. Miller, formerly of
Salem, is pastor. Much interest is felt
by the Lutherans of this section in the
success Of these two brilliant Dung
pioneer missionaries from Roanoke Col
lege.

Foreign governments were complimented

About the pillars covering the music stands,

is surrounded by growing plants, flowers and

one Of the most attractive features OF the

sixty.iive feet in height are on either side OF

y SHIP CANAL.

Private Enterprise VIII start One to Con-
meet the Water of Lake Erie With That
of the Ohio.
PITTsBURGH, Pa, March IA pro-
iect having for its object the construc-
ton and equipment with private cap
tai of the long. talked-of ship canal
between Lake Erie and the Ohio river,
is receiving the serious consideration OF
wcll-known local capitalists as well as
inanciers from other large business
,enters The first practical move to-
ward carrying out this immense pro-
ject will be started on March 2S, at a
meetiag held in the chamber Of COM
merce rooms.
There will be present at this meeting
many of the financiers who have ex-
pressed willingness to invest in the
enterprise, and the probability is that
at the meeting the preliminary steps
toward the organization of the COM
pany will be taken. The enterprise
will involve the expenditure of s27,-
300, 900
Two routes for the canal have been
surveyed by the authority of the state,
but the apathy and indifference of the
Legislature, beyond the point Of favor
able recommendation, had led those who
have foreseen the great advantages OF
such water way between the great
lakes and Gulf of Mexico to the organ
ization of a private corporation.
