1T is the duty Of every prospec-

Otani, high priest of the mother
church of Shin-Shu, the most power

Buddhism, sent the first Buddhist
missionary to America. .
The Japanese came in the quiet,
purposeful way that Christian mis-

out blare of trumpets or hope of
wholesale conversion They rented
a house in San Francisco not in the
Japanese quarter, but within a block
OF a very fashionable avenue, for the
mission was not: exclusively for their
own people. 1t is dingy house, with
the fog-colored dinginess of all the
rest of San Francisco; dingy without
and dingy within. The. rooms are
dark and bare, save for one or two
paintings representing scenes in the
life Of Buddha, and the splash of
color, where fireplace has been
transformed into an altar.
"Endeavor to achieve all the vir-
tues, is the motto which hangs
above the altar. Below are draperies
OF colored silk, each symbolic of one
of the virtues. Candles, vases Of
flowers and a tiny incense burner are
ranged or a shelf, and still lower
down on silk-covered box is a pile

these boxes are the sacred. books,

Shortly after committing this crime
he was served with a summons for
not sounding warning while cross

tested, but in vain, and the fine was
paid. Some weeks later he made the

TWO OF SONOMA's CREW BADLY
HURT BY WAVES BETWEEN
AUCKLAND AND SYDNEY.

Two members of the crew of the S.
S. Sonoma were injured by the heavy
sea on the recent trip of the vessel
from Sydney. Both accidents occur
red between Sydney and Auckland on
the night of october 81.
The first accident occurred early in
the evening and was in many Instances
peculiar. Edward Clausen a mess boy
was trying to go from the forward part
of the vessel back to the Kitchen He
chose the wrong time to make the trip
for heavy seas were breaking over the
bow of the vessel Two big waves
caught him and tumbled him about,
but a third came along and treated
him in such a way that he thought
his last day had come.
Clausen was standing forward of the
forward hatch when the sea caught
him. 1t lifted him off the maindeck,
and threw him a height of ten feet on
to the upper deck. The man was
whirled with such force against the
iron railing that one of the pieces of
piping was bent out of place. Clausen
being driven literally through the rail-
ing. Two of his ribs were broken, and
he was otherwise badly bruised.
Shortly after midnight Cadet A. A.
Jackson had an experience with a
heavy sea. He had come out of the
doctors room and had gotten over on
the port side of the vessel just abaft
of midships, when a sea boarded the
vessel, picked him up, dashed him
against an iron gate, bent the gate and
broke two of the youths toes.
No internal damage to the vessel was
done by the storm although she was
constantly boarded by heavy seas. The
bad weather lasted all of the trip from
