Lighthouse Service Notes.

The lighthouse authorities are greatly
pleased at the successful termination of the
long voyage of the two little lIghtships
which went from New York to San Fran
cisco recently. The vessels were built at
New York. and about three months ago
started on their long voyage around Cape
Horn. Stops were made at various points
on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts for coal,
and about a week ago the vessels sailed
through the Golden Gate and into San
Francisco bay. 1t is stated that they were
in better shape when they reached their
destination than they were when they
sailed. as their crews were able to put them
in fine condition on the long voyage.
The United States lighthouse engineers
steamer Jessamine. which ever since the
spring opened has been employed In repair
work on the light stations in the fifth light
house district. has completed the work and
has returned to the service headquarters
at Baltimore. Some minor repairs will
be made to the steamer before she returns
to service again. The tenders Holly and
Maple have about completed the buoy work
In the bay and its tributaries made neces-
sary by the heavy Ice OF the past winter.
The tender Violet has recently received
general oyerhauling and will engage in
buoy work with the other steamers OF the
lighthouse feet on Chesapeake bay and on
the Potomac and other rivers in the NTH
district.

Duty Of Christian Church Outlined by
d.. Schneider.

Rev. DIR. D. b. Echnsider. president OF the
North Japan College ut sendai, Japan, who
10 on visit to this country In the interest
OF the Japanese mission work of the Re-
formed Church. preached on .-The Call OF
Japan" yesterday at the Grace Reformed
Church. 18th street near o street. He said
the japanese are friendly to the Christian
doctrines and ready to receive them.
1T Is the clear duty OF the Christian
church of today" he said, ito look the sit
uation In the far east In the face, to recog-
nize the open door that Is there, and to
meet the challenge that comes to her with
overwhelming force. Japan is now a great
nation. In all her departments of govern
ment. in her industries, her commerce. her
education. she Is great. But she is greater
still In the spirit she has.
"A nation that has become SO great in
such 9 short time and has astonished the
world by her strength. her heroism, and yet.
Also by her self-restraint and moderation,
must have spirit that speaks volumes for
the future of the country. The question that
specially confronts US as Christian church
and Christian nation is whether Japan
Will become Christian. There are many
hopeful signs. The progress of Christianity
IN recent years has been great, but the drift
OF sentiment in the direction of Christianity
mas been still greater. Christianity is prac-
ticaIly acknowledged now as one of the
religions of the empire. The officials not
only protect but favor Christianity In MANY
waSs"

Col. George Robinson. U. s. A., a retired
