An educated Japanese who is a.
Christian recently wrote the following
as being what Japan needs: Eve jap
anese want Christianity, but no de-
nominational differences such as would
build a barrier against the ultimate
union of all who believe in Christ. The
ologians might differ in their views, but
our principal and spirit, as followers of
the cross, shall be one and the same for
all time to come. Thou, o Christ, in

kinship and love Of humanity; help us
to direct our efforts to hasten the time
when all the people Of the world shall
unanimously rejoice in thy universal

perfectly cool throughout all the con-
fusion and fright of the debarkment.
and at last every one except himself
was got safely into the boats. By the
time he was ready to follow, the pas
sengers were almost wild with fear and
excitement. Instead of hurrying down
the ladder the captain called out to the
sailors to hold on a minute. and. TAX
