history what IL has been for the last
twenty-five hundred years. Like the

the Japanese Is ''childlike and bland In

when he is through with the Occidental
man the latter finds that the smaller end
OF the bargain does not rest with the
Oriental. But II the abilities of the Japa-

OF her experiences in the great earthquake
OF 1891, perhaps the greatest of all the

the city Of Nagoya, and saw the seismic
wave sweep over the city, dwelling the
houses and killing the people. For i've
days and nights of horror she with others
lay in the open air, amid the cries of
dead and dying, waiting for the sway
ings of the earth to cease. In the region
affected 10000 people were killed and half
a million rendered homeless.
The young native Christians Of the mis-

was abundant reward for the horrors
which the lecturer witnessed.
