Any demonstration however, that

ing particular attention to India,
where his previous teachings were
said by some to have had a retard-
ing influence upon Christian mis-
sion work.
Notwithstanding, DIR. Barrows'
purported pernicious Liberalism,
nearly all the reports, given by
missionaries and the religious press
of India, point to the pure orthor-
dox principles that characterize
his lectures. The India Christian

paper criticises him because of his
lack of liberality. 1t says: DIR.
Barrows does not belong, to Judge
by. his Calcutta lectures, even to
the advanced ranks of liberals
among the trinitarian Christians.
His Interpretation of Christianity
is orthordox from beginning to
end: and they take no note OF the
results of modern criticism of the
Christian Scriptures" The Watch
man Baptist publication of Bos-
ton saws that missionaries report
that their hands have been sensi-
bly, strengthened by DR.. Barrows'
powerful and persuasive setting
forth of the Christian faith.
"Onlv those are disappointed who
expected something else. And it Is
now apparent as never before to
the intelligent native mind that
Christianity is able to hold its
own, while dealing fairly with
every other religion"
One of the moral lessons to be
gained from the action and words
of DR.. Barrows is that the day for
harsh Puritanical methods in
dealing with religious sentiment
has passed. The best interests OF
Christianity are not served by It's
representatives placing themselves
on a high pedestal, giving to the
world the impression that they
alone represent the sheep and the
rest of humanity must be classed
with the goats. intolerance Is
not one of the tinets of Christian
faith. Men will listen to argyll
ment, but they will shun self
asserted piety from a select few
who seek to lay down iron clad
religious laws which others must
follow or be forever lost.

JAPAN WILL BE PEACEFUL.

The japanese immigration
muddle has thus far served 10
bring out that there Is a vast differ
ence between what the Japanese
government does and what the
japanese newspapers say 1t Is go
ing TO DO. The rulers OF Japan
understand their people and pay
more or less attention TO the wild
outbursts of 5o-called patriotism,
but on the other hand the Japa-
nese people are ruled rather than
rulino and are not In close touch
with the policy of public men.
Notwithstanding the reports
published in the japanese papers
the policy of Japan's diplomats in
the immigration affair. is a thor
oughIy peaceful one. Assertions
to this effect come from men who
are in a POSITION to know what
they are talking about, aud when
Japan's position among other ma
tons is taken into consideration,
the conclusion drawn by Japanese
officials is reasonable.
In the first place Japan has a
great deal TO take care of at home.
Corea and Formosa demand I'M
divided attention, constantly pre-
senting some new problem that
must lie handled with no little
diplomatic delicacy. Japan has to
keep one eye open towards Russia
which is quietly and persistently
seeking to increase its power In
the Orient. Great Britain also has
TO be handled with gloves and its
friendship maintained II possible.
With numerous vital problems to
deal with on the proper solution
of which the life of the nation de
ponds. it Is not probable that Japa-
nese diplomats will go about the
Pacific ocean looking for trouble.
We do not presume to state that
Japan will quietly withdraw from
the Hawaiian affair now on its
hands. The selection of one of the
leading international lawyers of
the country as special commission
er clearly demonstrates that the
intention Is not to make boys
play of the matter. The officials
of Hawaii will be obliged to play
their best cards. At the same
time the struggle will be charac-
terized as contest of brains not
Drawn. There are so many aggreS-
sive nations waiting to take ad-
vantage of Japan, that it is in no
position to "pick a row" in Ha-
waii that may eventually result in
a serious loss of power nearer
home. The japanese people are
short sighted and cannot apprecl-
ate the dangers surrounding their
nation. but the men at the head
on whom rests the responsibility
of holding the ground already
gained Will 90 slowly and careful
Nv. guarding assiduouslv against
anv action that will bring them
into conflict with friendly and
more powerful nations.
If some of the japanese en-
thusiasts are baked in the fulfill
ment of their desires to make a
peaceful conquest by slowly colon
izing this country, the position Is
such in the Orient that they will
be fOred 70 make the best of it
and withdraw to more favorable
grounds. Japan cannot afford to
shake a warlike fist even under
little Hawaii's nose.

spread rapidly over his head, hands and
body. A physician said the trouble was

movement was so unexpected and sud-

his side.

mumbled with effort and as If his
mouth had been full of dough.

Donkin snatched at. the pin as though
his intention had been to run away
with it, and remained stock still hold
ing it like candle.

said Captain Allistoun, looking at him
fiercely. Donkin stepped back opening
wide his eyes. GO, you blackguard,
