MISSIONARY
ERM()N.

Rev. S. S. Snyder, a returned mis-
sionary, delivered fine address in
Shiloh Reformed church, this city,
Sunday morning on the subject of
missionary effort in Japan. There
was a large congregation present, tax
ing the full seating capacity of the
auditorium.
Rev. Snyder is fluent speaker and
being thoroughly in touch with the
situation in Japan as it relates to mis-
sionary work his discourse proved of
absorbing interest to every person who
has the dissemination of gospel truths
at heart.
The present century, he said, is
the century of missions. The field is
the entire world. At no place on the
globe, however, is there such a need
of missionaries as in Japan. Since the
recent treaty the country is open to
Americans and passports are no longer
necessary. Japan is rapidly yielding
to outside influences Enlightenment
is dawning upon the country and the
people are ripe for innovation and
change. Japan is land of students,
and Toxic is the great student center
of the world Not only is the country
educating her own sons, but other
countries, notably China, is sending
her young men to Japan for their ed
ucation. Thus Japan has come to be
called 1.-The School Master of the
East" We should be wise then and
win Japan to Christ.
The speaker spoke at length on the
schools with which he is connected at
Sendai, city of $4,000 population, in
the northern part of Japan. He ex-
planned how these institutions of learn
ing are made an effective agency in
the spread of the gospel among the
Japanese. Missionaries are few in
number and owing to the difficulty in
mastering the japanese language they
labor under great disadvantage in
preaching directly to the natives
Much time therefore is spent in teach
ing and the new converts as fast as
educated are sent out to preach among
their people. They hav e the advan-
tage of thoroughly understanding thet
language and although they are a.
to be regarded rs the ''hirelings of
foreign religion" and meet with many
disCOuragements yet in the general
awakening of the country the truths
they disseminate find a pretty general
acceptance.
The speaker said that the condition
of morals'in Japan il very low. Every
family has its house hold gods, to
whom the children are taught to bow.
At present, he said, there is but one
Christian to every one thousand souls
in Japan. Yet even this represents
progress, as only thirty years ago, the
Bible was excluded from Japan and
lnt pSualty IOI DeluB CHflstldu was
death. There is now freedom of con-
science over the whole empire.
In illustrating the necessity of in
creased support for missionary work
in Japan, Rev. Snyder cited some
figures showing that out of the i'm
mense population of that country.
some 600, 900, 600, in number but L.
1921, 900 have been converted to Christ.
While in this country the average
number of Christians to one minister
is IA, in Japan for every missionary
employed there are 200. 900 natives

Arrested and Fined.

John Carr of the Second Ward was
arrested and fined Monday afternoon
for neglecting TO send his little son to
school. The warrant was sworn out
and served by Truant Officer W. f.
Young. The hearing took place be-
fore Justice of the Peace Oglesby.
The defendant testified that he was
unable to keep his boy i'll school. The
little fellow, who is about eleven years
Of age, was with his father working in
the garden when the warrant was serv
ed
The Justice took the view that Mr.
Carr had violated the school law re-
lating to attendance, which requires
that every parent or guardian having
children in charge between the ages
Of eight and thirteen years shall be
obliged to send them to school during
at least sixteen weeks i'll the year. The
law provides that a parent or guardian
neglecting this duty shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor and for the first
offense shall forfeit a fine not exceed
ing two dollars and for each subse
quent conviction a fine not exceeding
five dollars.
Justice Oglesby was disposed to be
lenient and as this was the first con-
viction he imposed upon the defend
ant fine of one dollar in addition to
the costs.
There are several other cases i'll the
borough similar to the one disposed
of yesterday and Truant Officer Young
states that arrests will be of daily oc-
currence until the pupils are kept in
school as required by law. His action
yesterday in causing arrest will no
doubt be sufficient to show that he is
thoroughly in earnest.
