1t has not taken Japan long to get
into the ways of civilization. Less than
five years ago the consular courts. such
as the civilized nations maintain For
the protection of their citizens in semi
civilized countries, were abolished In
Japan. This summer an international
exposition is in progress in Osaka, with
exhibits from various Occidental ma
lions, and a surprisingly large display
of Japanese products manufactured in
the modern way. There has been no
greater marvel in the Industrial and DO
litlcai history of the world than the
conversion of the Mikado's empire
from the standards of Asiatic stagna-
tion to western life. There are peo-
pie who believe that when China
awakes the world will see still great
er marvel. sa----- --sr~--.

Government buildings, with the ex-
ception of those in Washington and a
few elsewhere, are mostly common
place and unattraetive from the archi-
teetural point of view. A recent act of
Congress, which is soon to become op-
erative, was designed to work an i'm
provement. The supervising architect
for the Treasury has decided to relieve
his bureau of much routine work, and
to secure variety of designs by invit-
ing architects in different parts of the
country to furnish plans in competi-
ton. Only the best men will be asked
to compete, and beauty as we'll as util-
aty and cost will influence the award.

A professor in an American college
has suggested that the small colleges
combine and form an educational
trust" against the monopoly of the
big universities. Although universities
do need money. and must conduct their
affairs according to principles of bust
ness, yet money and business alone
will not make college. So long as
good men speak freely and say great
things in the halls of college, that
college shall endure. Even poverty
cannot kill university which is found
ed in great spirit.

Advice OF the don't hurry" kind is
usually wasted upon people who have

ment day homfly. Its influence should
extend far beyond the doors of Michi-
CAMS famous university, so thinks an
editorial writer on the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald. 1t is doubtless fact that
most of the industrial and social ills
from which we are suffering at this
time may be traced to the spirit OF
haste and hurry that dominates all
activity, whether in professional or in
dustrial lines. The "hideous blunder-
ing'' in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy
and other departments of service that
call for long, patient and careful train
ing, as well as the difficulties that dis
turb the Industrial world and array
labor and capital against each other,
may nearly all be attributed to the
modern craze to do things quickly, to
get rich i'm a few years, to attain sue
cess in the professions without laying
deep and secure foundations. This |
is the haste of our time against which |
President Angel filed his vigorous and |
earnest protest. His special plea was |
for an ASSIMILATION" Of the knowledge
gained at the university. This knowl-
edge should not be merely packed
away in the memory. 1t should be
digested and made part of the person
receiving it. This requires time and pa
thence, and it should be an important
function Of the university to inculcate
this idea. 60.

Ter.e Comments on the Uniform Pray.
or Meeting Topic, "What the He.
roes Of Faith Teach Vs."

Bread and butter. clothes, social po-
sition, good times-these thrust them
selves insistently forward as the big
questions of most human lives. Blu
they are not. No material problems are
ever so important as the spiritual prob
lens. Whether a mar have the faith
which puts the loyalty of the spirit to
its highest vision as supreme ove all
else, is a question Of graver import
ance than whether he Is rich or hon.
ored or otherwise prosperous in this
worlds affairs. when the Son OF man
earth?" is the question concerning that
great day. Faith is first, because 1t
lasts.
When the soldiers of civilization were
on exhibition together in China during
the Boxer troubles the critics had OPP
portunity to compare their relative
merits. The Americans were not the
best drilled, or the best armed, OF the
best a%ccoutred, but they were the best
soldiers. Others excelled them in equip
ment, but they excelled others in the
spirit which makes equipment useful.
In self-reliance, in initiative and in in
dividual courage, together with those
other qualities of Independent manhood
which go to make up he american
spirit" the soldiers from this country
were concededly superior. The man Is
more than his furnishings; not tools.
but skill, determine the character of a
product. 1t is the spirit that is in man
that make him little or great: in a
word, ii is faith that creates heroes.
LAS a man thinketh in his heart. SO is
he"
The proof of faith is its fruit: II 1t
bears none, 1t is not faith.
Shouting 'hallelujah" in a revival
meeting is a deal easier than keeping
quiet and working on when hardship
and trials and perplexities are assail-
ing one.
Faith is a sanctified Imagination, to
which eternal though unseen truths
are more real than present and visible
facts.
The life lived by faith is immortal.
All heights are possible to faith.
He whom we trust has been often
tested.
The end of faiths fight is sure vic
tory. no matter how hard the battle
may press us.
