JAP5' ABILITY IN COMMERCE.

Japan realizes fully that in modern
power ability in commerce counts as
much as ability in war. When Baron
Komura had a day off, during the con-
ference, he spent it studying the cotton
mills at Manchester. Fortified by her
new foothold in the East by the re-
newal of her British treaty, Japan
will be so moderately occupied with
military considerations that she can
throw her full force into trade. Com.
merce, which has been a degrading
calling on the island, will become an
honorable one, the dishonesty which
grew out of social degradation will
diminish, and Japanese merchants
will become as honest as those OF
Germany, America, England, or per-
haps, even China. From Japan's ex-
banded power, the United States, like
other lands, will benefit, from strong
and wholesome competition and from
what we have learned about self-sub-
ordination, hygiene, manners, and
other attractive subjects. In Russia's
problems, and in her national devel-
opment and emancipation, this coun-
try will sympathize also, and whatever
triumphs Russia achieves we shall
a smaller unit, in which each part
influences more Immediately every
other Russia, like other countries,
would get the benefit of general SYM
pathy more rapidly if she took some
lessons in manners from Japan.
Whites boasting after the Portsmouth
settlement, contrasted harshly with
the brilliantly intelligent modesty of
the Japanese. The Russians, even
more than other western nations, are
in some ways barbaric compared to
cultivated Asiatics, but their future is
not less promising for that. The diff
ficulties which they are compelled to
meet are manifold and dark. Mr.
White himself, at present the symbol
of enlightenment to foreign countries,
is no believer in sweeping changes
He has always stood for cautious pro-
gress, and he has we'll understood
that Russian peasants care more for
food and religious liberty than they
do for what American, French, or
English look upon as political rights.
The Russian peasant is not addicted
to political theorizing. A cataclysm
may possibly come to Russia, unsur-
passed since 1889, but in greater prob
ability that vast country, influenced
by the world, will pick her way eau
tiously through explosive dangers, and
reach unity and calm with almost as
little commotion as is attended the
cementing of the German people.

OUTGOING MISSIONARIES.
Rev. and Mrs. w. II. Reed Return TO
Their Work in Egypt After
Year al Home.
SAILED FROM NEW YORK ON MONDAY.

After period of about eight
years of missionary labors in
Egypt Rev. and Mrs. w. II. Reed
were granted u furlough and with
their family of three children re-
turned to this country little over
a year ago. This, to them and
their friends, has seemed like a
very short year. Their time has
been so much occupied in attend
ing meetings and giving addresses
and visiting friends, laying in,
packing and shipping supplies, and
equlping themselves for their fu-
ture work, that practically there
has been but little rest for them
during their stay in their home
land. And now the whitened fields
bid the reapers again to the har-
vest. On last Wednesday morn
ing Mr.. Reeds left the home of
Rev. j. l.. Grove of our town,
Mrs. Reeds father, for their far
off destination across the broad
waters of the Atlantic and Medi
terranean. On their way they
spent night with friends IN New
vile, Pa, a night in Philadelphia,
and expected to spend night in
New York and sail on Saturday
morning. But for some cause the
steamer was delayed and did not
sail until Monday. After farewell
missionary meetings in PhiIadel-
phia and New York, they sailed
direct for Gibralter, distance of
between three and four thousand
miles, thence through the Mediter-
ranean to Naples, distance of over
twelve hundred miles, where they
change steamers and may have to
wait few days to make connec-
ton. Thence sail through the
Strait of Messina to Alexandria
another distance of over twelve
hundred miles. Then they 90 by
rail up the banks of the Nile river
over one hundred and fifty miles
to Cairo, the Capital city of Egypt,
thence some seventy-ive miles to
Madinet ell Fayoum, their field of
labor. Thus after travel of
about six thousand miles they will
be in their field of future labors.
This is the same mission district
in which Mr.. Reeds were working
when they left for this country,
though an adjoining district has
been added to it, thus very much
eniarging their field of missionary
oversight and labors. Madinet ell
Fayoum is city of about $500
population, situated some 10 or 20
miles west of the Nile, and south
west of Cairo. The district is wa
tered by II canal from the Nile and
is lhickly settled with Mohamme-
dams and Copts, the people to
whom they carry the message of
the great salvation. They will ex-
pect to remain in their work there
for another period of eight years
before their return, if their health
iuStities it. How many of us may
have the pleasure of welcoming
them again to this land remains for
the future to reveal.
