"Are we (homesick?" is a question
That we're asked most every day,
BY the stranger in the tropics
And by friends from far away;
Every letter brings the query
From the kin of those who roam:
In the land where we have journeyed
Do we sometimes think of nome?"
We write back lengthy letters,
Telling what we've done an seen
All about the feathery palm trees
And the hillsides clad in green,
But though we Shun the question,
Oftentimes the tear-drops come,
When We read the old folks writing
And it's then we think of home.
By the lonely plover's W7ailing,
By the wavebeats on the shore,
By the great grey liners sailing,
BY the memories of yore,
By the thought of days we've wasted
By the hope of years to come,
By the tightening Of our heartstrings
They may know we think Of home

THE JAPANESE RED CROSS.

At a general meeting Of the Red
Cross Society of Japan, held in Tokyo
on the 2Sth OF October, nearly $4,000
members OF the society We're repre-
scented out OF total membership OF
$4,000. The Empress Of Japan made
the opening address. In response 10
this address His Imperial Highness
Prince Komatsu, stated that the mem
bership of the society had doubled
within two years, and that the provis-
ions for making it's services in the field
more ef1icient, had greatly increased.
Those who have watched the growth
OF this society in Japan are surprised
at the deep and earnest interest taken
in objects for which the society was
formed by the educated Japanese.
There has been, and is, something
more in this humane development OF
the Japanese character than desire
TO initiate European civilization. There
is no accident about it. It is an out
growth OF the Japanese racial condi-

was genuine Buddhism: There Is
nothing on earth which is not in the

If it is true that these teachings OF
Buddha have inclined the people OF
japan to stand, SO far as the desire 10

on the same platform as the followers
