Sl,VS We wish to talk does not in
w clude discussion of the
present struggle between ia
pan and Russia, neither does it involve a
review of the Japanese-Chinese war, for
it is not of a conquest in which armies,
and bloody battle fields figure, but of a
spiritual conquest.
1t is commonly supposed that Korea
is a land without much of any religion
to speak of, and that aside from the
worship of ancestors, religion has small
place in the lives of the people, but such
is not the case, and while the visitor
to Korea would fail perhaps to see any
visible signs of religious life, and at
Seoul the capital and chief city of the
realm, would be unable to find anything
that looks like temple, aside from the
temple to the god of war outside the
south gate, still he must not be too
hasty in forming his Judgment The fact
of the matter is that Shamanism, Bud
dhism and Confucianism hold sway over
the people and hinder the progress of
Christianity. Shamanism is the belief
in the spirits which have their abode
in earth and sky, in outrageous tree by
the roadside, in peaceful agricultural
valley, in the tiled roof of the patrician
and in the straw thatch of the humble
peasant The heaps of stones at the tops

A Queer Accident.

An accident occurred to a logging
train near Burwell that has proved
more serious than the first report sug-
gested. One of the cars broke in two
and the front part derailed, the engine
dragging it for distance of between
five and six miles. One of the wheels
on the front truck was broken OFF, and
the engine dragging it over the ties,
caused it to act as huge saw or knife,
cutting off the ends of the ties in
pieces about foot long and hurting
them upon the track in front of the
car This went on for the entire dis
lance between Burwell and the North
ern Pacific junction before the engineer
noticed it, cutting off the ends of over
10000 ties.
The story seemed almost incredible,
but is nevertheless fact. All travel
over that piece is necessarily slow,
while all freight traffic is suspended.
1t will take several days to repair the
damage.

Trial an Expensive One.

Lane writes Interestingly of the noble,
brave General Pettigrew. He says
that Capt. T. j. Cureton, of Company
Il, 26th Regiment, who is now living
in South Carolina, in falling back
from the charge, came near General
Pettigrew, who was wounded badly in
his head or arm and from pain and
loss of blood was we'll nigh exhausted.
He took him by his uninjured arm and
assisted him to the rear. The brave
General then commanded him to
check those in retreat, and form 4
line to defend and even attack the
enemy should he advance" This will
do for the present. Some other time

others for instructive war testimony
and facts.
