There are differences between this

there is some faith in the God Of the
Bible, and IN Jesus Christ His beloved

word. To the Japanese all this will
have to be introduced almost as new

Commodore Perry is recognized as
the man who bore western civilization
TO the japanese empire. In the middle
centuries the Dutch. and later the
Spaniards and Portuguese. had obtained
a foothold In few Japanese ports. An
indiscreet remark OF a Spanish priest
led to the expulsion Of the last named
nationalitles The priest had been
boastlng OF the widespread power OF
the Spanish king. and Japanese Of
fetal asked how such power had been
obtained. "He sends his missionaries
to convert the people" said the priest.
and then he sends his soldiers, the
converts Join them. and the nation IS
subdued.' These words made n deep
impression on the Japanese govern
ment. and resulted In the expulsion
OF the Spaniards and the Portuguese
The Dutch settlements were greatly re-
stricted and were finally confined Ia
the island Of Desima, az Nagasaki
where Tor more than two centuries
they possessed a monopoly of Japans

oyerstimulated and worrying seek the
shade and often die In the heat,
Reasoning from these well known
facts, the magazine referred TO says:
Breakfast, luncheon or supper may
consist Of fruit alone, or of fruit with
bread, or OF cereal with stewed fruit
and bread If desired There Is a popu-
lar belief TO the effect that cereals are
heating" Let those who believe this
take their cereals without the milk
cream or sugar. which have been the
real heaters" and they will realize
that they have been In error regarding
the cereals, which are among the most
valuable OF foods. The best cereal for
summer Is boiled rice, served with
stewed fruit or fruit Juice. Apples,
pears. peaches, grapes, plneapples,
currants, cherries and all the berries
are perfectly adapted for this purpose.
In some cases II Is well 10 add little

results a lstil further simplfication
