7 make no doubt they have their grief
as bitter as the rest!
That Mockingbird there, in the blooms, is

Vet yandal hands have wrecked its home

That little lodge of straw Is mute, where
chirped its tender brood,
Yet how it sends its song to God-and
life a solitude!
But lust let trouble come along, and
human hearts they sigh.
And send their waiting messages airing

The world is then no friend to grace-a
shadow dims the light,
The stars shine through a storm OF tears,
and phantoms fill the night!

WAYS of the Orient.

There is nothing very remarkable
in the report from Japan that a move
ment is On foot, supported by many
eminent men, to found a church pro-
Christian in character, but independ-
ent in it's lines. When Buddhism was
dis~established and disendowed in the
early '70s of last century, owing to
the momentary ascendency of Shiuto,
which is merely vague ancestor and
nature worship, it was ~prophesied by
acute foreign observers tha. Japan
would either adopt Christianity or be-
come frankly materialistic. 1t will
not be owing to any lack Of energy on
the part of European and American
missionaries if the former course is
discarded. Here is one forecast pub
lished fourteen years ago: ITO make
all Japan Christian by edict some
fine morning is not on the program of
the japanese statesman of the hour.
But that something of the kind should
happen within the next twenty years
is not nearly SO unlikely as many
things that have actually happened in
this land of realized improbabiljties."
