Each Side Threatens Boycott Americans Say Funds
May Be Cut Of--Japanese Ask for Different
Methods Among Missionaries.

our language and may understand the

Though usually he doesn't), his con-
versation will run in a foreign groove.
and the native can hardly follow him
without confusion.
with the written language the mis-
sionary has much more difficulty, be-
cause we still write in the ancient
form, which is as different from our
present speech as old English (they
used to call it Anglo-Saxon) is from
modern English. The words are diff
ferent and the syntax is different. That
is bad enough, but it is not all, for we
use Chinese characters to read the
daily paper easily. 1 do not believe
that 10 per cent. of the missionaries in
Japan can read the morning newspap-
err. Our papers are not as elaborate as
yours, but they represent Japanese
ideas, they tell great deal about what
is happening in our country, they are
the best history of japan that there is,
and afford the best insight into the
mind of Japan. 1 wish foreign mis-
sionaries would do the heroic work OF
learning to speak, to read and write
our language fiuently and readily. Jap
anese Christian papers are in the hands
of natives. Foreign Christians are not
editors of papers printed in Japanese.
A CLOSED BOOK.
$50, therefore, the two great chan
nels of delivering intellectual and spir-
itual instruction to the nation-public
speaking and writing-are closed to the
majority of foreign missionaries, and
the vehicle of conveying the most thor
Ough understanding of us to them
hasn't any wheels. l am sorry. I
should like to have 1000 American mis-
sionaries come to Japan, equipped to
talk to us and to write to us in our own
language, and to keep in touch with us
through our periodicals and other liter
ature. We should soon be Christians

other
eff the missionaries appreciate our
vanity and pride-and some who are
exceptions do-they will understand
how it is that we object to being con-
trolled by folk who cannot write our
language or read our papers. Some of
us have had churches for ten or fifteen
years and have been working constant
ly as evangelists, speaking, writing
and teaching, organizing schools and
native mission stations. A good many
OF us have studied abroad. Some Jap
anese clergymen have had more train
ing in American and European colleges
and universities than some of the for
0isu missionaries now working in jap
an. There are good many holders of
foreign degrees among us. l think it
is fair to say, then, that we must know
something of foreign ideals, and that
we are as well equipped, all things con-
sidered, to teach in Japan, our native

What would Christians in this coun-
try say If Buddhist priests came here
from various Buddhist scots and tried
to convert Christians to Buddhism by
talking to them in japanese?
JAPAN STILL HEATHENISH.
eve are still heather country.
There are only 100000 Christians in
Japan now, while the population is A.
100000 This is a good many people
for country whose area is about that
of California, and which is SO noun
famous that only one-fifth of the land
can be cultivated at all. The 43,S0O,O0O
inhabitants who are not Christians are
either Buddhists or do not care bit
for religion. Generally the upper
classes are infidels and the lower are
Buddhists. Christianity gains con-
verts from the upper classes. The
poorer classes are hard to reach, though
the Salvation Army is having some
success with them. Buddhism is on
the wane. The lives of some of the
priests are not admirable, and with the
spread Of the common school system,
which is modelled on the American,
and quite as thorough, the people are
more enlightened and are censuring
these priests for conduct which form
erly our people generally paid little
heed to. So Buddhists become infdels
first and then Christians. The COM
mon schools, though they do not teach
religion, are our most efficient aid.
Il wish to call attention to a point
not we'll understood here in this coun-
try. While we have vanity and big
head we have ideals, too, which the
study of our folklore will show any one
that cares to learn. We reverence
learned men, we hold personal dignity
in high esteem, we admire self-denial,
simplicity, generosity and courage.
Were to choose the ideal missionary
he would be one whose entire heart
was in the work, who had never a
thought for his personal comfort nor
for anything but teaching and heal
ing. He should live with us as we live.

The vagrant snowfake's scooting
Around the Christmas tree,
Where recently was footing
The robin full OF glee,
The stockings idly swaying
Beside the mantel high,
The wild winds busy playing
The old years lulaby.
The purple monkeys prancing
Along the yellow stick,
The pasteboard negro's dancing
Upon the double quick,
The candy lions yawning
Among the pretty toys,
And Christmas time is dawning
With all its ancient joys.
Oh. Christmas makes us tingle
With bliss from head to toe,
While merry sleigh bells jingle
Across the sparkling snow.
The backlog fame Is Keeling
And cracking with q vim,
And gayly DER the ceiling
Our shadows dance and skim.
Old Santa Claus is sending
His steeds across the snow. /
The tree will soon be bending
With good things to and fro,
And all our SORROWS brooding
With music rare and grand,
On plumes OF rich plum pudding
We float to fairy land.
Hurrah for dear old Santa!
Hurrah for Christmas time!
From Akron to Atlanta
Our fancies flow in rhyme,
While DER our visions murky,
All turned to gold and green,
Now drifts the luscious turkey
On roasted wings serene.
