THE TIDAL WAVE IN JAPAN.
BY REV. EDGAR LEAvITT.

The event of great interest in Japan
just now is the terrible tidal wave
which visited the north eastern
coast of the main island on June Is,
at about 10 o'clock in the evening,
and in few minutes swept to death
more than 2S,000 persons, besides se-
riously injuring quarter as many
more, and destroying houses, boats,
netting and field crops,-the means
of subsistence of these poor people,
who are now being assisted by the
government, by private individuals,
and charitable organizations, among
which the Society of the Red Cross
ID prominent.
So dire an event has not happened
in Japan within the memory of man,
though a century or more ago, ac-
cording to tradition, this same Sec
tion was visited by similar wave of
less dimensions and consequently of
less destructiveness. This wave
overfowed the land along a coast
line of more than IT'S miles and ex-
tended from two to three miles in
land, according to the elevation above
the sea level and the height of the
wave, which varied according to the
confguration of the coast. Where
the coast was plain and open to the
sea the wave was not more than ten
feet high, it is said; but where it ran
into narrowing inlets or bends in the
coast, or into the mouths of rivers or
creeks, or was hemmed in by higher
land, it varied, it is said, all the way
from forty to sixty and even eighty
feet.
1t had been a pleasant day, and the
people of the villages had been cele-
brating one of their summer festivals
and the houses were filed with the
sound of music and laughing. Sud
denly away at sea was heard a report
like the booming of heavy. guns.
Some thought man-of.war might
be practicing off the shore. Then
was heard terrible roll of the rush

The argument of Bishop Watson

The argument of Bishop Watson
in his reply to Thomas Paine's railing
at the Old Testament never has been
answered and never will be. l am
also doubtful of all those arguments
of those who attempt to prove the
infinite goodness of God and conse-
quently Universalism, from human
reason and nature alone, and there
fore think it possible to dispense with
divine revelation. Human philos-
ophy can take us but part way to-
wards our desired conclusion. It
builds bridge but it cannot quite
reach the other shore. Man needs
slight from above" to supplement
his philosophy and to correct it where
it may be wrong relating to conduct
and spirit. The philosophers with
out faith in a divine revelation are
like the builders of the Tower OF
Babel. They cannot reach heaven.
Their speech is confounded and from
their ruins others take the material
to build new towers, little better or
a little worse, but equally vain in full
filling the final aim. We cannot
prove that God is love from nature,
nor from history, not even from
Scripture history, but if we believe
that the Holy Scriptures of the Old
and New Testaments contain Reve-
lation Gin the proper sense of the
word, not in the emptied sense in
which it used by some) of the char
acter of God, and of the duty, inter
est and final destination of mankind,
then we may have something that
intellect and heart may both rest
upon.
1t is not from philosophy, but from
the declarations of revelation, that
the suggestion comes that these seem
ing evils have behind them purpose
and final result of good, which JUS
titles them in Gods sight, and will
justify them in ours, if the time ever
shall come when we can see them
from his point of view. 1t is not in
the power of any human philosophy
of any earth-born or human thought
but faith in a Divine Revelation
alone that can bring us to say with
Whittier that
mid this maddening maze of things
And tossed by storm and Foo,
To one fixed star my spirit clings,
l know that God is good"

THE PACIFIC COAST MISSIONARY.
Our official agent on the Pacific Coast,
Rev. Asa M. Bradley. is now stationed
for few months at Spokane, Wash,
to help the faithful ones there establish
Universalist church upon sure founda-
tions. Having just entered upon his
duties it is too soon for him to make any
report of progress, but he writes "The
Mission Circle is very much alive and
doing good work."
MISSIONARIES ADVICE: LOOK OUT FOR
IMPOSTORS.
Our missionary has recently encoun.
tered two of these wolves in sleeps

of imposture. One was revivalist who,

orthodox, tried to foist himself upon
the Universalists. fortunately without
success. In the other case letter to
our State Missionary developed the fact
he was man unworthy Of recognition.
ut is easy to prove the character of
any man who reports himself Univer-
salist preacher. Ten cents will pur.

names of all ministers of good standing
in the denomination. A letter to the

II HAVE risen TO THE TOP in my de-
nomination. There is nothing higher up.
In another church might hope to be a
bishop" So the interviewer reports a
clergyman of Congregational church as
revealing his inner self. He had secured
prominent metropolitan pulpit. 1t was
not the goal of his ambition though it
was the summit of his hopes. He would
not serve God for naught; his carnal eye
was on power and place. He has what
he works for, but he is not content. He
would be bishop. And if he were a
bishop he might not be first "Insig-
nificant as a bishop" was John Ran
dolph's sarcasm,
1t is likely that minister is quite
unconscious of the condemnation he is
pronouncing on himself. He prides him
sslf on being at the top; but the only
ministers in his denomination who are
not above him are those who have let
themselves down to the same level of
paltry place-getting. The ministers at
the top in church of Jesus Christ are
those who, by their personal worth,
their consecrated abilities. their large
and loyal service, and their practical
wisdom, have acquired an influence and
standing which no high position can
confer and no humble position can OBJ
scure.
DIR. Shinn sums up the purpose of
the annual assembly at Weirs in the
comprehensive formula, 1.-The generation
of missionary power" The substantive
is fortunately chosen. Much is said
about missionary zeal and missionary
Nenthusiasm; but missionary power is
more to be desired. 1t includes the
others and carries them. Missionary
power is generated by large view of
Christianity and of Universalism; by
strong convictions; by high and dis
tinct purpose; by love of God and love of
man.
The tribute paid by Mrs. Sherwood
to the Hon. Sydney Perham is we'll de-
served. Those who knew him in the
stormy and trying days of the republic
and who have known him in the calmer
times since, will not question the justice
of her description of him as a citizen
and public servant. In the long and
honorable list of the governors OF Maine,
Sydney Perham occupies first place.
But it has been true of him, as it is not,
always true of men in public station,
that he has been throughout as faithful
to his religious trusts as to his secular
and political. At home in Maine or on
the more conspicuous stage in Washing
ton, Governor Perham has been stead
fast, active and greatly useful Univer-
salist layman. The church has trusted
and honored him: he has believed in and
honored the church.
The criticism formerly aimed at Uni
versalism, that to believe in salvation in
the future is to be Indifferent to present
salvation, is losing it's point. 1t is, of
course, as forcible as ever it was; but
Tits force was never in itself; ii was al
ways in the mental state of those who
used it. Now the mental state of those
who stand outside the Universalist cir
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-08-01

Gle has changed and is changing. They
are not themselves putting the same
meaning on the terms salvation" and
Saved" as formerly. They are coming
to look upon it as process of moral
classification and spiritual growth, with
which times and places have little to do.
This altered view takes the point out of
the old criticism. That is, the objector
does not feel that he is saying anything
to the point when he makes that anti
quated charge. His view of salvation
approximates the Universalist view;
and it is the view of what salvation
really ia that determines the validity of
an objection.
The question of the material of
which money shall be made can scarcely
be called burning question. 1t has
in it no element of passion. 1t is. in.
deed, an important question. on the cor
rect decision of which the material
welfare of the State and the people
largely depends. And it is by no means
asimple subject, clear to the unimproved
and unrefecting mind. But it is es-
sentially scientific subject. 1t is first
Of all matter of fact, then matter Of
experience, and finally matter Of rea-
son. It's discussion should be free from
personal feeling and partisan bitterness.
We have this time all the conditions of
campaign of education. The experts
should be called to the front and the
windy enthusiasts sent to the rear.
Ian Maclaren is another instance of
writer, suddenly introduced to fame,
and solicited from all quarters to write
on every subject, without the sagacity
and self-command to refuse. He has
been injured, we fear irreparably. by
what he has been induced to print IN the
last eighteen months. He could not
repeat Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush, y
and it was perilous to print anything
much inferior to that. He should have
kept silent until the spirit in him must
speak and then we should have had an.
other inspired book. As it is we are
having an exasperating addition to an
already disastrous flood.
1t would be surprise to most peo.
pie in this country, we suspect, to learn
that after the decease of Tyndall and
Huxley "England's greatest scientist" is
still living. But this is the place as.
signed by the London Electrical World
to the man so long known as Sir Will
liam Thompson, latterly disguised for
the general public under the title OF
Lord Kelvin. He has held the chair OF
natural philosophy in the university OF
Glasgow for half century. The cele-
bration of his semi centennial of service
to the university was the occasion of a
national expression of admiration. The
most impressive feature of the demon
stration was the humility of the subject
of these attentions and laudations

He next found himself in the Wash
