back to our problem Of the Sholtos, and
thought the whole matter out again.
My boys had been up tho

any landing stage or wharf, nor had 1t
returned. Yet 1t could hardly have

his would be too valuable retreat in

he was sure that he could do without

me: Jonathan Small must have felt
that the peculiar appearance Of his
companion, however much he may
have top-coated him, would give rise
TO gossip, and possibly be associated
with this Norwood tragedy. He was
quite sharp enough to see that. They

they did not go very far. They paid
Smith well to hold his tongue, reserved
his launch for the final escape, and

who has spent many years In trying To
Chrlstlanlze the japanese. Is the Rev.
l.. II. DE Forest. who recently spoke In
Brooklyn on the subject. His opinions
are OF peculiar interest as coming from
n missionary. and few OF them are
contained In the ensuing sentences: 1T
Il time to quit calling the Japanese
heather. We should cease to sing about
them as the heather who bow down TO
worship Images OF wood and stone. THIS
thing Of describing everybody except
Ing ourselves as idolaters. In the inter-
est Of Christianity. ought to stop. We
must change our ways OF thinking and
talking about the japanese. While
am convinced that Christianity Il the
true faith, | believe that there h some
truth and revelation In the japanese
religion. The church. while carrying
on missionary work In Japan. must DO
as polite towards the Japanese religion
as Is our government toward the gov
ernmont OF Japan. Our missionary
maps are often made In black and white
patches. to show how white We arc
and how black are all the people wo

the others false; but II is now rccog-
nlzed that there Is some revealed truth
In all religions. The Japanese have
glimpses OF the Supreme Being. and we
can lead them onward to better View"
The foregoing sentences. which were
uttered by the Rev. De Forest In Brook

context but are In perfect conformity
with II. They give evidence that ut
least one missionary OF the Congregl-
tional church has enlarged his religious
Ideas during the twenty years OF his
residence among the Japancge.
