Christianity, adapting it to the needs Of
the Japanese people. 1t affects many
who are nominally orthodox Christians.
l heard the other evening leading
educator, physician, graduate OF Au
burn, N. Y, Theological School and Of
several universities, and Congregation
alist, am told, say in his discourse to a
houseful of young men: There is moth.
ing real in religion; it is merely an idea
but we must make it useful for the de.
velopment OF humanity. Christianity is
superior to other religions, but all are
defective, and the greatest defect about
Christianity is that it teaches that God
is love- The Apostle John was mis-
taken. How do we know God is love?
Love is not the highest thing; reason is
the highest thing. and we should say
God is reason" and much more to the
same effect.
Our Unitarian brethren have declared
their position as simply promoting free
thought on religious subjects. One need
not be Christian in order to be Uni
tartan. One may be Christian or he
may be Buddhist, or he may be neither
only provided he is free thinker. Some
of the teachings of Jesus, of Buddha, of
Confucius. are wrong and harmful to the
moral and spiritual devel ,pment of the
japanese people, and we will do all we
can to drive them from the land (so says
a late issue Of Shukyo, the Unitarian
magazine). In the same article it is de-
clared that they oppose no ones opinions
nor pronounce them wrong nor heathen-
ish nor heretical; but would freely learn
from all, and that they themselves pro-
fess no fixed principles.
A Congregational paper seriously pro-
poses to modify Christianity by the
introduction of Buddhistic and Shinto
ideas SO as to make it more acceptable
to the Japanese nation! When one
understands all the conditions through
which this nation is being new born into
civilization one does not wonder. One
Of the greatest needs al this nation is a
realistic philosophy to take the place of
the barren idealism that so long has
held the field-a philosophy that is
consistent with practical life and with
earnest and immortal endeavor.-Long-
fellows Psalm of Life wrought into the
souls of the thinkers:
Life is real. life is earnest,
And the grave is not its goal
Dust tnou art. to dust returnest.
Was not spoken of the SOUL"
We must all "learn to labor and to
wait" Out OF this all shall at last come
a new and Christian japan.

REDDING.

Here resides loyal and true Univer-
salist whose name is John s. Graves.
He has one son, Murray manned for John
Murray, in his seventeenth year. and he
wishes in the years to come to become
Universalist minister. Last winter Mrs.
Graves departed this life. The Mount
Pleasant pastor was called to conduct
the funeral service. A full week of
meetings were planned for July STA.
The use of the Christian Church was
secured and Rev. Frances f. Brant an
nounced to conduct the services.
MOULTON.
This is town of about 1000 inhabi-
tants, situated on the Wabash and G. B.
Il X. G. railroad fifteen miles south
west of Bloomfield. Rev. j. e. Reyes
visited us abouta month ago and planned
for week of meetings. He consulted
the trustees of the Baptist church and
secured the use of their new and beauti-
full church edifice for the meetings. Ac-
cordingly he came and began the meet
ings Tuesday morning. June Is. Rev.
Frances e. Brant. of Kansas. arrived on
Thursday. and preached the remainder
of the week, and twice on Sunday. June
%. A local revivalist preached Sunday
morning on 1.-THE False Cries of Univer-
salism." He preached in tie M. e.
church. Miss Brant abandoned her
morning service and took her ccngrega-
ton with her to the church. She took
notes and announced that she would re-
ply to the brothers remarks at P. M.
In the evening the church was crowd
ed to hear her answer, which occupied
one hour and half. Suffice it to say.
that at the close of the service the Bap-
list trustees told her that she might
have the church for services any time in
the future when not in use. There are
several Universalist families here. and
with the proper effort church could be
organized.
We shall try in the future to accomp-
lish this greatly desired end.
