government to the foreigner and
his hated yasu-kuo that up to 1878
but eleven Japanese had received
baptism into the Protestant faith.
These were times of suspicion and
dark deeds. Notice boards prohib-
iting faith in Christianity and off
ering rewards for exposing native
believers were posted by the gov
eminent in public places. For the
missionary to leave his home at
night was positively unsafe. While
policemen guarded his person and
property, because of the govern
ment's treaty obligations, her secret
detectives logged his footsteps. If
the common people were inclined to
receive the foreigner, his religion,
his schools, the attitude of their
leaders forbade it. 1t needed a
dozen years to allay suspicion, to
show the difference between Pro-
testantism and Romanism, and to
prepare the way for any direct
work.
These are briefly the conditions
our heroic pioneer missionaries met.
Without a dwelling house, a
church, or a native convert; with
no knowledge of the language, no
Christian literature, no helps of any
kind; but with God above, the love
of Christ in their hearts, praying
Church behind them, and a hand
full of sympathetic missionaries like
themselves about them, barehand-
ed they began to lay the founda-
tions of the Church in that land.

SCHOOLS.

For long years the question of
the Church's property in japan
was one of serious concern, as there
were no provisions by which sat
isfactory title to such property
could be had in the name of the
Church, or of a foreign person,
company, or corporation; now the
Church property may be held under
legal provisions as safe as the en-
pire itself.
Our mission schools have long
labored under great embarrassment,
partly because they were Christian,
partly because they were private
schools rather than a part of the
government school system; but re-
Gently the CHIEF hindrances have
been removed and our schools can
not now provide for all who seek
admission.

SUCCESSES OF FORTY YEARS.

What are the successes of forty
years of toll? We now have 400
native ordained ministers. trained
in our Christian Schools, loyal to
our cause, earnest, intelligent, self
sacrificing, able in most cases to
double or quadruple their income,
by leaving the services of the
Church to accept secular work or
government positions. There are
500 unordained ministers and help
ers, and 325 native bible-women who
labor for the saving of the woman
hood of Japan, Four-hundred
church buildings invite the people
to worship God. The gospel is reg
ularly preached in 1850 stations
and there are about 475 organized
churches, perhaps 100 of which are
self-supporting. These churches
report $4,000 mem bers, and $4,000
Sunday School children meet in
more than 900 Sunday Schools
where they are taught systematic
ally in the word of God. AS to
church relations of these Christians
the Presbyterian, the Congrega-
tional, the Episcopal, and the Meth
odist families have each app oxi-
mately 1000 members, while the
Baptist approximate $500, the bal
ance being divided among the Lu-
theran, the Christian, Scandinavian,
Universalist and other smaller bod
les. The Boarding Schools number
81 IN which there are $4,000 young
men and women receiving Christian
education, and in about so day
schools 1000 little children are
being instructed. One Christian
publishing house last year sent out

This is a very brief statistical
putting of our success as Churches,
but it by no means tells all the
truth. The broader influences of
Christian civilization upon the Jap
anese nation, must never be forgot
ten. Instead of the notice boards
which in the beginning forbade the
Japanese to believe in Christianity,
the 28th article of the national con
stitution now guarantees to every
Japanese subject the enjoyment of
freedom of religious belief. Then
the Christian religion was a hated
and condemned foreign creed, an
alien, and illegal; now Christianity
has the same legal status as Budd-
hism, and is protected by the high
est law of the empire.

Where Is Itp

Some OF our esteemed contempora-
fies say that q great battle is being
waged in Tennessee. When, where,
and by whom?
It would be farcical to call the joint
debates between Frazier and Littleton
great battle. Littleton has proved
SO clumsy and inept that the leaders of
his own party have been compelled to
but gag in his mouth. He has COM
mitted blunder after blunder, and
shown that his proper place is in the
kindergarten instead Of on the stump.
In the congressional campaign in
this district, Gen, NJ. r, Patterson is
opposed by Mr.. Grant Matthews. Mr..
Matthews has a lung that was mis-
taken for native oratory over in the
coyes Of East Tennessee. 1t is said he
can stand fat-footed on the wharf and
be heard over in Arkansas. Vocally
he is all right, but there is nothing in
his speeches to indicate that he is any
thing but vox ct praetera nihil.
Mr.. Matthews was boxed up and
shipped down to Memphis by Boss
Brownlow a few years ago, to act as
treasurer Of the Memphia post Office
aud to run for congress. The boss
seems to have imagined that lung
would 90 for brains in this section as il
does in East Tennessee. But Mr..
Matthews has never opened his mouth
in this campign without putting his
foot in it. He will be pudding for an
old campaigner like Gen. Patterson.
OF course it is the duty of Mr.. Mat
thews to perform the services for which
he has been paid by the government
and to keep out Of politics, but we dc
not wish to deprive Gen. Patterson Of
a soft snap, so We waive the civil serv-
ice rules.
But where are the evidences of the
great battle raging in Tennessee

"Uncle Josh Spruceby. /"

The patrons of the Opera House will
be entertained Thursday night, Octo-
Der 20, by the big comedy production,
"Uncle Josh Spruceby." This popular
play comes we'll recommended and will
no doubt be received with enthusiasm
here. The piece is staged with every
attention to stage realism. All the
scenes are well mounted and acted.
The startling ssaw mill" scene is said
to bea masterpiece of stage mechanism
Many specialties are introduced and
the superb solo orchestra carried by
the company all go to make this very
delightful production.
The realistic saw mill scene in Gun
Gle Josh Spruceby, the down east
play, comes nearer to the genuine ar
ticle than any of the many stage effects
now before the public. No play now
a-days is complete without something
in the way Of mechanical effects, and
"Uncle Josh Spruceby" lays claim to
one of the most novel scenes of any
piece on the road this seasons, a full
aud entirely practical saw mill is plac-
ed upon the stage and appropriate
scenery is used to make a superior
stage picture. When the heroine is
rescued from her perilous position at
the climax of the act the hearty APP
plause gives evidence Of the apprecia-
ton of this acme of stage realism.
