not clear to us, for your action pre-
viously reported in the same letter
compels this Board to withdraw al
teachers at the close of 1S96,-fol
the Board cannot permit its mission
aries to teach in the Doshisha wher
the trustees officially inform the
Board that it no longer desires such
aid. Our missionaries are informed
by this post of your action and the
acceptance of the same by the pru
dental committee. and the conse
quent necessity of their withdra wing
at the date you have set, namely at
the end Of 1896. This is in accord
ance with the vote of the trustees oil
the Doshisha and not of the pruden-
tial committee. The action as re-
ported will necessitate, also, the
withdrawal of subsidy and foreign
teachers granted to the female de-
partment OF the Doshisha. If that is
not your intention. please inform the
missionaries in writing and report
the same to us at your earliest con-
venience.
We enjoin upon the trustees Of the
Doshisha not to think that by de-
clining further subsidy from the
Board and dispensing with the ser
vices of the missionaries. they thereby
release themselves from obligations
to maintain the genuine Christian
character of the institution. All the
aid given by the Board and by Amer
lean Christians has been contributed
from the first for the purpose OF es-
tablisbing and supporting all insti-
tuition positively and aggressively
Christian, which shall be the center
and life OF the Christian work in
Japan. The eyes of the Christian
world are upon the Doshisha, waiting
to see what its future action will be.
Brethren of the Doshisha, by sever
ing all organic relations with this
Board, you cannot separate your
selves nor your institution from our
sympathies and prayers, We cannot
believe the Doshisha is to fail of the
object of its organization and disap-
pear from the history of the Chris
tian church i'll Japan. We believe
that it was established by prayer
and divine intervention, and that
God has wonderfully blessed it
hitherto. We have faith, also, that
when exaggerated national feeling
has subsidized and the mists have
cleared away, we shall again see the
school in the van of the advancing
Christian movement, helping, inspir-
ing, leading in every good work 10
the onward progress OF the kingdom
of Christ in that empire. We want
you always to regard the American
Board as the warmest, truest friend
OF the Christian Doshisha.
Praying that you may have guild
ance from above, am, on behalf Of
the prudential committee of the Amer
lean Board,
Most faithfully yours,
JAMES l.. BARTON,
Foreign Secretary.

Some Rambling Thoughts.
(Copyrighted.)

Each individual male reader will have
to Judge of the justice of the following
attack upon our sex. 1t is the express
sion of a woman's opinion. "The very
eagerness of man for his meals shows
him to be the inferior animal. Keep him
hungry when he reaches home and there
is place neither for God nor woman, for
he finds fault with both. To make man
docie and tractable you must treat him
like snake, gorge him." This may be
brilliant, but it is too severe, particularly
as woman from thestory of Eden onward
has not shown great skill in managing
snakes; and possibly not much more in
managing men. The woman, to whom
a man is nothing more than thing to
be petted and pampered with this and
that qualification, will find her theory
strongly confirmed by the animal" with
in him. But the woman who believes in
other grander possibilities in man will
find them there, because she expects and
demands them. Men are, after ALL but
plastic clay, and take on readily the
forms into which the gentle hands of wo-
man mold them. This also has been
shown from the story Of Eden onward.
At least that is what Memo" thinks.

Never have any hesitation about learn
ing from others. If we each were held
down to the kno Wedge we could acquire
by personal travel and investigation the
amount we did not know would be even
more monumental than it now is. But
beware, you omniverous learners, of
acquiring ideas and then having them
remain unassimilated, like the food on
an overloaded stomach. As to learning,
l would say, be in skeptical frame OF
mind; reject the things that you prove
to be untrue; read, mark, learn, and in
wardy digest all the truths that you
prove and approve, or that reach you
from reliable sources, and let them be-
come part OF you; just as the steak you
eat and assimiate isno longer steak, but
has become part of you, your blood,
your brain, your power.
To be sincere in this advice as to skepti-
cism, should have to warn You against
accepting statements just because they
are in print alas, this would include
even these Thoughts" For them ask
no hearing, no reception except where
they interpret some little particle OF the
great universe of Truth, divine and hui
man, in which we live, and of which we
permit ourselves to partake, some more
and some less, as we journey.

Letter from SECRETARY BARTON in regard
to the Doshisha.

1t is quite the regular thing to find
fault with the weather forecasts issued
from Washington and local bureaus.
Surely because we expect too great
prescience from fallible men. When we
remember that observations in the upper
strata of air are still practically unat.
tainable, and yet that those high reli-
gions are liable to exert suiden influence
upon the lower strata, from whose con-
ditions the forecast has been calculated,
then we shall be ready to concede that
the bureau does great things. BY means
of its work the average farmer or coast
wise mariner can gain knowledge at a
given moment OF general conditions in
the most remote regions, as well as in
his own immediate neighborhood. 1t
works entirely in the line with the CO.
operative instinct that thrills our age;
the feebest aided and advised by trained
experts. Ofcourse, crops still suffer from
storms and ships are wrecked The
farmer cannot go and uproot his crops
Just because a cyclone is coming. But
more than once in every year each farmer
and seaman isgreatly aided by his knowl-
edge of the probabilities of twenty-fOur
hours, and thereby are dollars and lives
freely saved. The fatetul moment OF the
season is naturally different for every
locality, so that each hour throughout
the year some one gains immense benefit
from his forewarned condition,
A really brave deed always arouses en-
thusiasm; and not all brave deeds call
tor blood With the hoarse pulsation of
the drum in his ear, the rattle OF musket-
nv on every side, the frenzy OF martial
music in his veins, swept onward by the
enthusiasm of shouts and of numbers,
the soldier will glory in throwing away
his life like flower. But we are allcalled
to a heroism far transccndlng that

give publicity to one such brave deed, at
least.
The newspapers from east to west have
contained casual references to the recent
burning of toll-gates by mobs in Ken
lucky. Right in the disaifected region
lives the editor of the Vanceburg Sun,
terribly dependent upon his local pat
rons as all country editors are. Yet on
his first page he places notice two col
umns wide and surrounded by border
Abbreviated, it is as follows
1.-The Sun is, has always been, and al
ways will be, 50 long as the present man
agement has the say-so in its columns, an
advocate of the free turnpike system.
1t has carried, and the result is
assured We now learn that there is a
move on foot among some OF the citizens
to supersede the proper course
and to use force in making them free at
once : II force is to be used in adj
vance of the law we will take up the cause
