There is at Nara an immense bronze
image of Buddha, even larger than the
famous one at Kamokura, tho not con-
sidered So finely proportional. The
smaller one is 40 feet in height and
nearly 100 feet in circumference (both
represent Buddha seated tailor-fashion
on lotus fower) and the larger one
| is almost twice as large as the smaller
one. The lantern Of stone or bronze
seems to be as necessary an adjunct
to a Buddhist temple as the Shinto
| gate is to that form Of religion. At
Nara there are 1900 stone lanterns of
various sizes along the walks that lead
from one temple to another, and they
are found in abundance in other cities
The Korean lions are also identified
with Buddhistic worship, these animals
wrought in bronze or carved in stone
guarding all temple doors. They are
not as ferocious in appearance as the
Numidian lion and they illustrate ar

other has his mouth tightly shut and
they together represent the affirmative
and the negative, or, in other words
the eternal conflict between truth an6
error.

Japan needs the Christian religion;
nation must have some religion, and
she has outgrown Buddhism. The ideals
presented by these two systems are in
many respects Numerically opposed to
each other. One looks forward, the
other backward; one regards life as
blessing to be enjoyed and an oppor.
tunity to be improved; the other sees
in it only evil from which escape
should be sought; one crowns this life
with Immortality, the other adds to a
gloomy existence the darker night Of
humiliation; one offers faith as the
inspiration to noble deeds, the other
presents a plan for the perfecting of
self with no sense of responsibility to
God to prompt it or promise of reward
to encourage it; one enlarges the SYM
pathies and links each individual with
all other human beings, the other turns
the thought inward in search of per-
petual calm.
Christianity dominates Europe and
the western hemisphere, while Budd-
hism still holds the orient under its
drowsy spell. On the Islands of Japan
a struggle is now going On between
these two great religious systems, and
the triumph of the gospel of love and
consecrated activity in the LAND Of
the rising sun will open the way 70 .

PIPE SHOULD

THE DAM
II. p. BALDWIN SAYS EARTH AND
CONCRETE NEVER UNITE TO
FORM 4 WATEB-TIGHT JOINT.

II. p. Baldwin, who has had most
extensive experience in reservoirs and
bitches, expresses the opinion that the
proposal in the Nuuanu dam and res
ervoir to carry a pipe line through the
dam itself, is a very serious matter.
He insists that concrete and earth
will not join so as to make a water
tight joint. Hence an iron pipe COW
cred in a concrete armor passing
through the dam itself is I'm effect a
column of concrete passing through the
dam. At no place on the concrete ar
NOR will the earth join with it to make
water-tght joint. Hence this part of
the plan of the dam is open to very
serious objection.
AT Wahiawa the outlet from the bot b
tom of the dam to be used in case IT is
ever wanted to entirely clean out the
reservoir. is carried around through
what is practically solid rock, so that
between 1t and the concrete I'm which
the pipe is embedded, there Is an abb
solutely water-tight joint II. p. Bald
win says this is the only safe way-the
outlet pipe must not be carried through
solid rock.
The fear felt for the suhiciency of
the dam either in plan or construction
has awakened the old issue of whether
Nuuanu Valley should be used as a sur
face watershed for the citys water
supply at all or not. or whether 1t
would not be better to look wholly to

There will probably be some very
spirited bidding for the land to be offer
ed. The upset price will be about $1,000

are many parties anxious to buy, the
bidding win probably run far above the
