"SOWING AND REAPIMG. Z"
Address atY. M. C. A. Mems Meeting by
Or. MeIden.

A pleasant and profitable meeting at
the Y. NJ. c. A. yesterday afternoon was
evidently appreciated by the goodly num-
Der of men in attendance. The service
included music by the Y. NJ. C.. A. quar-
tette and an address by Rev. c. NJ
Meldon. Ph. D., OF the Mathewson street
NJ. II. church. The speaker chose his
text from Galatians, In chapter six. the
seventh and eighth verses: BE not de-
ever a man soweth that shall he also
reap for he that soweth TO the flesh shall
OF the flesh reap corruption, but he that
soweth the spirit shall OF the spirit reap
everlasting" His address In part was
somewhat as follows:
That one is able 10 deceive his fellow
Is readily readily granted; but that one s Is apt
mitted. There are still those who think
ing themselves TO be something when
they are nothing deceive themselves.
While there are those who can deceive
themselves and their neighbors, no man
can deceive God.

erned according TO law, absolute. mex

"Whatsoever a man soweth that shall

our body SO is our mind amenable TO law.
There is no royal road TO learning The

ought to be careful not TO take diseased

Now, there is unfortunately abroad a
notion that the young people must sow
their wild oats. Seed placed in the ground
multiplies after his kind. God help us
and keep us from sowing wild oats. Men

you is that you have already begun TO
SOW their wild oats. Let them come 20

JAPAN IS
PREPARED
FOR RUSSIA.

That the Russia-Japan controversy has
no doubt and the eyes of the world are
turned towards the Far East, the scene
of the impending conflict. Rev. Clay Mac
Cauley. pastor Of the Bell street chapel
spent eleven years of his life In Japan
being president OF the College for Ad-
vanced Learning at Toxic. returning 10
this country in 1892 Recently he was
appointed delegate from tho Asiatio So
ciety OF Japan TO the Eighth Interna-
-ttortai- Congress, which will assemble at
Washington. ID. c., next fall He has
visited Corea twice, China five times. and
is thoroughly familiar with the language.
customs and literature OF the Japanese.
Six years ago. while still at Toxic, he
wrote articles for magazines and newspa-
pers in this country predicting that the
clash would come before 1905
In an interview accorded a representa-
tive OF the press, the reverend gentleman
called attention TO the fact that China.
Corea and Japan have been intimately
related through all the historic period.
He reviewed the early struggle between
China and Japan. which resulted in the
establishment OF a sovereignty by Japan
over Corea. AS a sequence to the Boxer
war Russia attempted TO Incorporate
Manchuria into her own territory, and
the United States and Great Britain,
whose interests are greater than those
Of France and Germany. r0tested. Final
ly the United States concluded a treaty
with China for the opening of certain
ports in Manchuria, and the treaty was
ratified by cable before the Russians had
been able 10 declare their sovereignty.
In the recent negotiations with Ja-
pam Russia has tried to force the Corean
question ard 10 assume that the Man
churlan question was settled. She has
avoided the issue by talking about the
regulating OF Corea, which Is a great
piece OF assumption, for Japan not only
demapds that Corea shall remain inde-
pendent. as she was made as the result
OF the war between Japan and China re-
lieving her from any longer recognizing
the suzerainty OF China. but she also
demands that the sovereignty OF China
In Manchuria shall not be violated.
Speaking OF the relative strength OF the
contending nations. Rev. Mr. MacCauley
said: In this country we are apt to un-
derestimate the power of japan, whose
soldiers are skillful sword lighters. we'll
