Holy Cross Church and the schools in con-

little known among New-YOrk churches
The thirtieth anniversary of the foundation of
the mission and the twentieth anniversary Of
the dedication of the church were celebrated
last Sunday. The institution is one representing
the advanced" or Catholic, movement in the
Episcopal Church and it is noted for it's
wealth of Hturgfc observances. The work was
begun as a mission by the Sisterhood of St
John the Baptist, maintained by them until
1889 wholly, and in part by them since. with the
general purpose of doing mission work among
the Germans of the lower East Side. Another

NO PERIL TO JAPANESE CHRISTIANITY.

The recent disturbances in Toxic, Japan In
which it was reported that several Christian

people toward Christian mission work IN their
country An interview has just been had with Dr.
Kaiinosuke Ibuka, who is president OF Meiji

in this city This Japanese educator said that the
disturbances in Toxic and other japanese centres
were to be looked upon merely as ioca4 AFFAIRS

their opinion and acts are by no means to be con-
sidered evidence of the attitude Of the nation DE-

five years ago that it is therefore not strange

Trenton. Sept. 22-The prevalent notion IN parts
Of Scotland that the use of instrumental music in

has little weight with the New-Jersey Court OF

provisions in the Will of George {. Mackenzie.
Mr. Mackenzie bequeathed some property TO the
Scotch Presbyterian Church of Jersey City, with
the stipulation that il should be used for any
church in which there was instrumental music. The
presbytery subsequently sold the property to the
trustees of the Lutheran Church of the Holy Trim
ity which on learning the conditions in the will
refused to carry out the purchase agreement, on
the ground that the presbytery could not give a
clear title. The presbytery sued. and got judg

The heirs then got an order restraining the pres

among churches using instrumental music This
order is set aside by the decision Of the Court of
