christianity modified by native
ideas and influences. Christianity
has already made its impression
upon commercial life in New ia
pan.
The development of industry,
trade and commerce has required
new business standards and es-
pecially does it demand honesty
and integrity. One who meets
prominent Japanese christians are
impressed with their capability.
To have produced such men is
not a small beginning for the
young church of Christ in Japan.
The Woman's Christian TEN
perance Union and other christian
organizations are fighting the
same battles in Japan as in
America. When we take into
consideration how much chris,
tlanity and christian schools have
done for Japan in less than fifty
years, we feel quite warranted in
prophesying that with this TWEEN

practically christian nation, and

Although we would expect to
find Christianity the weakest
in the colleges, yet here it is
proving to have its strongest
hold. The christian students of
the government and colleges have
formed themselves into a national
alliance. Nearly all the higher
institutions of learning in Japan
are represented in this students,

making careful examination of
the religious status in the higher
government colleges, this organ

that in comparison with this that

leader. inconspicuous among the
many heroes whom Japan has
crowned. Even Seido the temple
of Contucius in Tokyo, has been
appropriated for an educational
museum. The old religions ex-
ercise no moral power over the
student class of Japan and re-
ligious teaching is not allowed in
the new government institutions
Bishop Evington, of Japan, stated
in London in 1894 that education
pure and simple had not bettered
the morals of Japan. 1t was the
appreciation of this efficiency
that led the Emporer in 1890 to
issue his Imperial rescript on
morals in education. He tried to
avoid adopting any system OF re.
ligious teachings. and at the same
time to gather up such moral in
structions as he thought woult
guide the student class of Japan.
There are indications that the
western learning which has been
adopted will receive its compli-
ment without the compulsory
teaching of Christianity. Since
