the Buddhist and Shinto priesthoods have made it. weapon with which to at tack Christianity, "the foreign religion" and the result is that thousands who would otherwise embrace the religion of Christ are held back through fear of those in authority. But good must come out of this seeming evil; God will surely not allow all that has been built up through toilsome years of missionary eff forts to be hastily set aside.
 What has saved Japan from being doomed nation is the moral system of Confucius, which for l200 years has in- fiuenced Japan. The gist of the entire system lies in ''the five relations," that of lord and retainer, father and son, husband and wife, elder and younger brothers, and friends. The relation of lord and retainer is the strongest feeling in Japan, and it has has elecited many acts of true heroism. It was the strength of this tie that caused Neesima to pre- diet that when Japan once accepted Christ as the true Lord, it would be loyal IN ILH even uLIO d6atn. IDe De&C three relations concern the family, and they have developed the feelings of love and obedience to such an extent that strang- CTS wonder at the well regulated families they find in Japan. All the nation is proud of pointing to the present emperor as the living representative of the oldest family line on earth.
 The dcfec5 of Confucianism is that there is something wrong in it's order, it puts the relation of father and son before that of husband and wife, The underlying law is that of superiority; the wife is an nfe- rior to her husband. He1ce, the hus- band never attends the funeral of his wife or even of any of his children. COnfucius did much for Japan in con- serving the family tie, but he had not one generous word to say about woman. Japan, however, is learning of the Christ who took little children into His arms and blessed them, and raised from the dead even girl, and opened up the deep est of spiritual truths to a low woman. Behold a greater than COnfucius is here

THE RELIGIOUS AND HOME LIFE OF JAPAN

'Every church should consider itself commissioned to continue to the people the Acts of the Apostles. They are en- titled to know what the fortunes of the church have been from that time to the present. Upon the present generation of Christians Christ has devolved the future success of His Kingdom. How can they act intelligently and earnestly unless they are put in possession of the facts?" Such was the recent utterance of a mis sionary field secretary, and that is what the NeWtOWn Congregational church is endeavoring to do through it's missionary meetings that are held one Sunday even- ing every month, namely, to put the peo- pie in possession of the facts regarding home and foreign fields, that they may be able to act earnestly and intelligently in their giving. That the people heartily appreciate this effort and that they are eager to learn the facts the large audi ence that gathered, last Sunday evening, seemed to testify. The interest did not flag moment from beginning to end of the meeting, and that the interest was willing to take practical shape was shown in the large collection received. The singing of both congregation and choir was filled with zest and feeling, the rendering of .sRock of Ages by the choir being especially effective.
 The pastor, Key o. W. Barker, gave an instructive address on the present re- ligious condition of Japan. Ten years ago, he said, it seemed to the mission aries in Japan, ,and to all Christian work CTS everywhere, as if Japan were ready tc make great advance step forward to 8 foremost place among the family of civi lized nations and also toward becoming thoroughly Christian nation. It's pro
 gress in civilization is indeed marvellous
 and is scarcely without parallel in tn,
 worlds history, but of late years Christ
 ianity has suffered 3 great setback il
 Japan. The cause of this is the stron,
 anti-foreign sentiment which has spruns 1 up. This sentiment has been produce,
 largely by nations which the ,Japanes
 recognized as Christian, forcing upo
 them treaties which were far from just
 and by a strong nationalistic spirit Love of country, which, when not in eS cess, is one of the most glorious and ami able qualities of the national character
 has become mixed with love ofeverythin
 Japanese, good CT bad. The nations

THE NEWTOWN STATION BURGLARIZED
 AGAIN.

The Newtown station of the Berkshire division was entered by burglars again on last Saturday night. The deed was evidently done by the same parties who broke in only g short time ago or their near relations, for the same window was smashed in in the ticket office in the very same way. They also smashed in win dow in the baggage room. All the plunder secured was a couple of express packages belonging to some peddler, ,con- taining small wares and worth about $10. They put ''jimmy' under the ticket ease, but did not force it open.

Dr Kennedy, who will be remembered by many an old soldier, as president of the examining board of surgeons for the discharge of invalid soldiers at the Sat- terlee U. $. A. general hospital, West Philadelphia, Pa., found the need of a medicine that would dissolve the excess of uric and tactic acid in the blood, which IS the cause of many ailments physicians encounter, kidney, liver and urinary troubles, dyspepsia, rheumatism, scro- lula, salt rheum, excessive nervousness and sleeplessness all arise from this one cause. After patient toll and experi- ment pr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy was finally produced.
 That it met the want and accomplished the cure of these various diseases is evi- dent by the grateful acknowledgements of thousands of the best citizens of the country.
 There are few Grand Army men more widely known than Commander James $. Dean of Gen Grant Post, Rondout. N. |. In speaking of Dr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, Commander Dean re- gently said: II suffered from an aggra- vated stomach trouble and chronic dys- pepsia for years. Various physicians prescribed for me without benefit. Af- ter using pr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy Ou1 d NNCh I 1Clb DCIJCI anu d 1iGIlS ther use completely cured me. It is the grandest medicine on earth and does just what they say, cures dyspepsia, stomach disorders and builds up broken down or overwOrked person. for I am a living testimonial to its merit.'' Wilbur l.. Hale, quartermaster, Pratt Post, t,G.A.R., Kingston, \. Y., speaks with equally as forcible words. After returned from the war" said MT Hale, ''I had a most horrible case of salt rheum. Doctors gave me up, but pr kennedy's Favorite Remedy healed every sore, strengthened my nerves and built up my weakened constitution; 1 now enjoy life
 F. c. Brink of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., suffered from catarrh of the bladder and chronic kidney complaint for 20 years and had given up all hope of ever find ing relief, when pr kenneny's Favorite Remedy was brought to his notice and by the time he had taken the fourth bot tie his old trouble had entirely disap- peared.
 It is medicine that cures and we can do no better service to persons who may be suffering from disease than to say, "Use Dr kennedy's Favorite Remedy, for it will cure you if taken according to directions"
