Needed Reforms in Missions.
TThe Independent.1

| Not a few students of foreign mis-
| sion methods believe they can be i'm
proved. Let us take Japan as an eN-
ample First, as to men. What is the
condition? City after city in this en-
pre is manned with three. four, OF
five missionary families, often plus
single ladies, where one or two would
be sufficient, thus releasing the others
for centers with no foreign resident
Why? Simply because the city is Il
strategic center" and "denominational
interests" require the overlapping.
There is one city of less than $4,000
people, where three separate varieties
of Methodists are working. Second.
as to money Japan should have one
strong Christian university. No sin
gle mission board is rich enough TO
cooperate with Christian forces in the
empire to establish such an institution.
But if Presbyterians. Baptists, Metho
dists and Congregationalists should
pool their educational resources, ia
pan might have its Christian univer
sity, together with four or five en-
cellent preparatory schools doing A
unique service for the nation. But this
is only one item under the head Of
financial consolidation. The economies
Of combination are manifold in thu
field of self-support for churches or of
the employment Of native agencies.
Witness the present waste of money in
Christian periodicals, each with its
tiny band Of subscribers in place of one
or two thoroughly alive, aggressive
comprehensive, and we'll supported
publications.
What has been accomplished al
ready in the line of consolidation, gives
good hope of reaching the ideal. Pres
byterially governed churches in Japan
have for years marched in solid coll
umn. The many banded Methodists
will doubtless soon wear the same uni
form and fight under one banner A
committee of cooperating Christian
missions is at work drawing closer the
cords of united effort. But there can
be advance. If Methodists and Presby-
terians in Canada and Presbyterians
and Congregationalists in Australia
can combine, why not all three In ia
pan? If three, why not more denomina-
tons? Some day the great trust prin-
ciple will invade the churches as it has
the realm of commerce The business
men in our home churches control the
situation. Let several hundred laymen
in each denomination get together ana
say: "The era of sectarian mission en-
terprise must close" and the beginning
of the end is nigh. When the modern
business man takes hold, the sect must
go; all such ancient and musty history
as ecclesiastical individualism, theo-
y otc nd ali
will be relegated to its APP
proprlate dark backward and abysm of
time"

1lno after o'clock before the

west, but his work at. Illinois has
been failure, and he has already
left his charge.
Mccormack undertook herculean
task when he went to Evanston to
teach football. He found the play
ers of last year lacking in the most
rudimentary elements of the game
and had to begin at the bottom, with
every player. His success in bring
ing out an undefeated eleven that has
gone thru probably the hardest sched-
ule the purple team has been called
upon to face for many a year shows
the effect of his hard work and abil-
ity.
Curtis found an easier task set for
him when he assumed the burden at
Wisconsin laid down by Phil King.
All of Curtis training has been under
the direction of King, and all the
players on this years team had re-
ceived their knowledge of the game
from the same source. So Curtis
fitted nicely in the niche King had
just left.
While the badgers have shown
great strength at times during the
season they have been unable to get
together and make this strength
count to its utmost. Wisconsin's at
tack is powerful, and all thru a game
the badgers show signs of latent
strength, but it is the inability to col
| lect this and hold it together for some
time that prevents the badgers from
making the showing Of which they
are probably actually capable.

coming battle, after a trip to Alameda

said:
His physical condition is perfect,

and confident and promises to make
the battle short, sharp and decisive -
George Gardner has stopped his
boxing practice, but was on the road
yesterday morning and punched the
bag for half an hour yesterday after
noon. He says he feels he has suf-
f1cient strength to meet any fight Fitz-
simmons may put up, and therefore ii
is unnecessary for him to continue
heavy training. Moreover, it would
be dangerous thing to slug his spar
ring partner when the battle which
means SO much to him is so near
The fact that Fitzsimmons is a
hot favorite in the betting does not
disturb me a bit,'' said Gardner. 81
