deavor movement has sometimes been
lightly criticised for its naTae, and II
has been suggested that Society of

While every body is taking his outings
and enjoying the lovely summer weather,
the Y's took advantage OF the beautiful
evening last Friday and had lawn party
at the home of Miss Flora Gnley. The
orchard was hung with lanterns and with
the swing chair, hammocks and camp
chairs, the grounds looked very inviting.
Over thirty young people gathered and had
a very enjoyable time.
Through the kindness of Mr.. Freeman
graphophone music was enjoyed. While
with singing and tete-a-tete now and
then, mixed in with delicious refresh
ments, served by Misses Flora and Rebecca

The fifth chapter of Micah is decid-
edly a Messianic chapter. 1t contains
the familiar prophecy concerning Beth
lehem of Judah, which. though small
should become great as the birthplace
of Christ. II prophesies also concern
ing His kingdom and His victory, cspe-

/. Japan, though small island en-
pire. may become great by accepting
Christ Bethlehem was a small and
unimportant village near Jerusalem.
There We're many places in Palestine
much larger than Bethlehem, but Christ
was born ia Bethlehem and from that
day ON 1t has been exalted among
cities. The names aud sites OF many
oriental towns larger and more iInpor-
tant than ancient Bethlehem have

mains and as tue birthplace of Christ
becomes of more Importance every
year. Japan is a small empire with
great opportunities and possibilities
provided its people accept Christ as
their personal Saviour and make Chris
tianity the bulwark of their new civ
flization. Human civilization alone
cannot make and keep Japan great.
Let Christ be born there-born into
Japanese civilization, born into the
hearts and the lives of the people-and
Japan's place among the civilized ma
tons is an assured fact. Leave out
Christ. and the nation cannot attain to
a national standard OF righteousness
that will be both exalted aud perma
nent
2. Japan must not merely accept
Christ to become a permanently great
nation, but must rule In the name of
Christ. The government must be Chris
tan, and in administering domestic
and foreign affairs II must be guided
BY the principles of Christian right
eousnsss and equity. The nation that
shall stand and rule in the strength
Of the Lord, in the majesty of the name
Of the Lord his God 4" shall abide
but the nation that forgets God shall
perish" The history of nations proves
the absolute correctness of these two
statements.
3. Japan to have permanent political
success must crush out idolatry. Ev-
erything that is heathenish must be
done away with. All false philoso-
plies, all evil and sinful practices and
all worship of idols mist be done away
with before Japan can be truly great
and exalted. The day of the success
