JAPAN AND REV. EDGAR LEAVITT.

Mr.. Gates Notes from Japan which
we print this week were originally
prefaced by an urgent appeal for
more help in the Mission. Since they
were written the announcement has
been made that Rev. Edgar Leavitt, of
Santa Cruz, Cal, has been selected to
reinforce the mission and notice of his
acceptance has been widely eircu-
lated. Mr.. Gates "Notes," therefore,
appear without the particular para
graph which is answered by the APP
pointment of another helper.
Mr.. Leavitt will sail from San
Francisco Dec. 4, and in few weeks
Bro. Cate will be relieved of the unu-
sual burdens which he has carried
for the last few months caused, in the
first place by the unavoidable delay
in appointing new man and second
ly by the illness of Mr.. Rice, which
has obliged him to relinquish his
work in Japan for season. Mr.. Rice
is now on the Pacific Coast and if his
eyes improve under treatment, as he
expects, he will return to Japan in
two or three months. We sincerely
trust that these expectations will be
realized and that early in the coming
spring, this valuable man will be able
to again take up his interesting work
in the school and mission now so
we'll organized in Japan.
REV. EDGAR LEAvITT will be found a
valuable addition to the staff of the Mis-
sion. He is we'll trained and we'll read
theologian, man of unblemished char
acter and of wide experience and obser-
walton, thoroughly devoted to our Church
and in sympathy with the missionary
work at home and abroad. His teach
ing work will be found acceptable to his
associates in the Mission. He is also
industrious and painstaking and may be
depended upon to do his full share of
the work in both teaching and preach
ing. Mr.. Leavitt was one of the earliest
friends of the Japan Mission. Now that
he is called to this important position
he may be expected to do good service
in the active work of our Church in the
foreign field. 1t is in every respect a
worthy appointment, creditable to the
Church and honorable to the one who
has accepted the trust
Mr.. Leavitt has had the important ad-
vantage of an interview with Mr.. Rice
since his return and gained much yalu-
able information touching the Mission,
which only one who had been in the
field could impart When he leaves for
his new work next month he will be fol-
lowed by the prayers and blessings OF
his devoted California parish, in whose
behalf he has made many sacrifices. and
the good wishes of many friends in other
places where he has been settled as a
pastor. We have his promise that he
will correspond occasionally with The
UNIvERsALIsT.

THE POWER OF KINDNESS.

The word humanity" takes on
deeper and wider meaning as the
world grows older and wiser. 1t is
being understood in these days as
never before that the supreme test of
religion is character, and the main
business of organized Christianity is
to make human life more useful and
perfect. Every true advance in reli
gious thought has been from the side
of mans moral nature. Religious
institutions have sprung into being
to assert human rights and to set at
liberty the oppressed, because, "God
commendeth his love toward us, in
that while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for u.s." 1t seems no longer
necessary, according to Millions
stately phrase to,
''assert eternal Providence
And justify the ways of God to man."
but to assert the great truths of re-
ligion as they apply to this life, to
duty and destiny. What the world
most needs is the spirit of helpful
ness and brotherly love. Most of the
worlds misery is owing to the absence
of this spirit.
If we crafty selfish desire first, the
sweetest human affections are dwarfed,
the warmth of love chilled in the hui
man breast, and the most precious
flower of human kindness withers
and loses it's fragrance. We are so
closely bound together by ties of
blood, social and moral interests in
this world, that no one can live life
entirely independent of others. By
the very attitude he assumes, he is a
blessing or curse. Claude Lorraine
said the beauty of a picture depends
on where the artist sits down. The
attitude we assume, the position we
occupy of usefulness in the world, or
of outlook, has much to do in either
making or marring the picture of
life. In the truest and deepest sense,
"a mans life CONSISTENT not in the
abundance of the things which he
possesseth."
What is best of all, there is no con-
fict between pleasing others and
pleasing ourselves. Those who carry
the sunshine of JOY or peace with
them into the social world are doubly
blessed. In making others happy
they make their own happiness more
secure. The kind act that wins a
friend, multiplies the possibilities of
future joy. An effort to save some
one from temptation makes more Sc
cure our own moral foundations. The
love of children and care of the de-
fenceless fills the soul with the per-
ennial freshness of youth. Where
the blood has been heated in the con-
flicts of moral reform we see,-
"How far the Gulf Stream of youth may flow
Into the Arctic regions of our lives"
In Bryant's "Old Mans Funeral"
he sings:
THAT life was happy; every day he gave
Thanks for the fair existence that was his"

We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old
and New Testaments contain revelation of the
character of God, and of the duty, interest and
final destination of mankind.
II.
We believe that there is one God, whose
nature is Love, revealed in one Lord Jesus
Christ, by one Holy Spirit of Grace, who will
finally restore the whole family of mankind to
holiness and happiness.
III.
We believe that holiness and true happiness
are inseparably connected, and that believers
ought to be careful to maintain order, and
practice good works, for these things are good
and profitable unto men.

is sort of comprehensive detective. After the capture of one of the burglars and learning that two had been engaged in it he buckled on gun and started out to hunt him. The first man he saw was someone at distance crossing the railroad track. MT. Nogronne reasoned that none; but burglars were out at that time of night, hence the man was & burglar. He had burglars on the brainy so he called to him to stop. The stranger didn't stop but quickened his gait. MT. Nogronne was now sure that he was burglar and he took shot at him. Contrary to his expectations, the man only went the faster, and two more shots had no other effect than to inspire the stranger with an mbition to destroy all previous eprinting rec ords. It transpires that MT. Nogronne's target was Thomas Linville, who was, on his way home when he happened to, cross the orbit of the burglar hunter Linville thought somebody was trying to hold him up and he wished he had gun. When he learned yesterday morning how it was and remem bereG how badly he had been scared he wished more than ever he had had gun.

ELECTION ECHOES.

Republican Committees Counting
 Their Gains,
 Chairman Kibbev and Secretary Long of the Republican Territorial com mittee, were busy yesterday compiling election returns. The returns are in complete, but indicate that Murphy's majority in the territory will not fall below 900, while Doran's will be about 400.
 Partial returns from Cochise and Yuma counties leave some doubt as to the election of councilmen. Nugent's election over Straus in Yuma was al- most conceded the day before, but later returns indicate that the vote will be SO close that it may require an official can vass to decide.
 The same situation prevails in Co., chise, though Packard, Democrat, is slightly in the lead over Pugh Republi- can.
 No additional developments occurred yesterday in the matter of dou ubtful off, ces in this county, as no additional re- turns were received. The county cen- tral committee comedies the defeat of Johnson for the assembly and the cleo tion of Peterson, but the committee confidently claims the election of Parker for supervisor and says that hls present majority can not possibly be wiped out by later returns.

He Rides a Stolen Horse Into

 Senobia Bias, middle aged Mexican, was arrested yesterday for stealing horse from A. M. Austin. The horse was taken from Mir. Austin's pasture couple of nights ago. The Mexican rode it to town yesterday and hitched it in the lower part of the city where it was recognized by the owner. Con stable Porterie watched the animal un- til the rider came after it and arrested him. He was committed for larceny this morning. He tells a double headed story. One end of it is that he got the horse of Mexican at Mesa for paying the pasture bill; the other is that the Mesa Mexican authorized hiM to take possession of any horse he found bearing that particular brand.
