1t is not creditable to the community
that the Federal government, in order
to secure land adjoining Pearl harbor,
is forced to take condemnation pro-
ceedings Much of the land which the
Government wants is useless for any
agricultural purpose, and its real value
is slight AS land situated on an ex-
cellent harbor it has no value until a
channel is opened through the reef.
Whoever opens that channel raises the
price of the land at once.
The Federal government has annex
ed these Islands amid the tears and
shouts of the grateful multitude but
when it wants some land for naval
station, the owners of the land demand,
in the opinion of the officers of the
Federal Government, a most exorbi-
tant price. The Federal governm ent
is urged to give value to the land by
cutting a ship channel through the
bar and then is asked to pay the in
creased value which it has created.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

DR.. Pinchot is now the head Of the
Division of Forestry of the Department
of Agriculture in Washington. He is
about thirty-two years Of age and is
an excellent example of young man,
who has an intelligent idea of the use
of wealth. His grandfather, A. R.

Fifth Avenue hotel in that place, re-

at $4,000, 900. His mother takes about
100000 of this property, and his
father is independently rich. His
grandfather urged that the young man
should 'be put into business but his
mother, one of the handsome women,
of her day, thought that young men
should be taught, not how to make
money, but to use in the interests of
mankind, the money that had been ac
cumulated for them. The science of for

America. Mr.. Pinchot graduated from
Yale College, and had a careful train

was then engaged by Mr.. George Van

forests on his place known as Bilt-

Mr.. Stafford Ransome has written a
book on Japan titled Japan in Trans
ition." The book shows careful study
Of the subject, and presents some fresh
views regarding the relation of the
Japanese to Christianity. Mr.. Ransome
makes the bold statement that the mis-
siOnaries, on the whole, fail to present
to the Japanese the best side of Christ
ianity, owing mainly to their inferior
character. He admits freely that there
are some excellent, and noble men
among the Protestants, but that there
is large class of half-educated men
and women who are not capable of
reaching the acute and cultivated
minds of the higher classes of the peo-
pie. The day has passed when eloquent
'bOy-preachers" and devoted" but
ignorant and narrow-minded men and
women can do the best missionary
work. Put none but grenadiers on
guard" must be the motto of the
church militant. Mr.. Ransome says
that many of the leading Protestant
foreigners in Japan claim that the
Roman Catholics alone are making
any real progress in Japan, because
they are we'll educated, live the lives
Of the people, in simplicity and econo-
my, and work quietly and systemati-
cally, and follow Japanese customs
On the other hand, the members of the
various Protestant sects are jealous of
each other, live in apparent luxury, to
the eyes of the poorer Japanese, I'M
dergo no self sacrifice, and in march
ing behind the banner of the cross,
are openly getting between each |
others legs in their dissensions, and
confusing the people with their rival
claims
The Christian churches of the Occi-l
dent have failed to see that the Japa- |
nese are no ordinary heather" and |
the ordinary methods of converting |
them to Christianity, are, in large
measure, obsolete. The Japanese re- |
fuse to take doctrine on faith, and the |

tice of telling them that their ancient |

based upon a low and singular miscon-
ception of human life. Why the Crea-

permits the Roman Catholics to pre-
vail in Japan, up to the present time,
is a matter which should be well con-
sidered by the Protestant missionaries

There has been some intimation
that the Japanese government may es-
tablish Christianity as the State reli-
gion, for business reasons" This, of
course, will not be done. Mr. Ran
some declared that 1.-The Japanese man
has no strong religious convictions of
any sort If this is true, a religion
in the interests of commerce, might be
established, though it would have
hardly precedent for it in history.
Canon Taylor, one of the leading
men, in the English Church Missiona-
ry Society, sad that the members Of
a certain caste in India, were prohi-
bited, by their caste rules, from eat
ing certain food. When they were in
formed that by the adoption Of Christ
ianity, there would be no restrictions
upon their eating, they adopted Christ
ianity at once, and were returned as
converts by the local missionary. A good
man asked an African traveller wheth-
er the King of Dahomey would take
Christianity and he replied: The old
rascal will take anything he can put
his hands on
The Japanese will not take" Christ
ianity, as a business venture, nor
would it be to the advantage Of Christ
ianity that they should.

without prejudice is one of the most
singular events in the history Of men.
