large numbers to hear him. After the

She soon found that in order to be
successful In Ter great undertaking, the
Characterization of the natives, she
must adopt the customs of the people
n make them believe she was n OF
them. This was no easy task. The
Chief obstacle Miss Dauforth mel In her
work was the great opposition of the

posed to American women as regards
their Christianity.
1t was during her stay In Japan that
the terrible earthquake. one OF the
worst known TO history, occurred,

July 1889, during which time the ia
mine aud pestilence devasted the coun.
Try and thousands of people persisted.
Miss Danforth also stated that for
weeks the inhabitants Of Nagoya were
compelled to live, eat and sleep, upon
the ground.

He plsnts cool shade and tender rain,
And seed and bud Of days to be,
And years that fade and flush again.
He plants the glory Of the plain;
He plants the forests heritage;

The JOY that unborn eyes shall see
These thingshe plants who plants q tree.

He plants, In sap and leaf aud wood,
In love OF home and loyalty,
And far-cast thought of civic good

A nations growth from sea to sea
