Are 5aps Heathen.

Those who fancy the Japanese are o
sort Of heathenish nation .hould study
their code Of morals end their primo;
Piles of living.
For instance, they have what is
known as the moral code. It is not o
Sunday or parade affair. They do
not forget it for six days and then
brush the dust off it when the minis
ter comes to dinner on Sunday. The
code is part of the national life, and
here it is:
Diligence in one's profession.
Love and loyalty between master
and servants.
Deoorun and propriety.
Gailantry and bravery.
Trustfnlness aud justice.
Simplicity end frugality.
Contempt Of mcanuess.
The best thing in religion is Love.
For it combines tenderness, charity,
compassion, courtesy, decency, re.
spect. 1t'is combination of all tic
virtues, and the Japs have taken Il Q
best thing and nodded it into their
life until tho people have become ar
lists, lovers Of the beautiful. They
regard gardens as their choicest DOS
sessions, aud believe that care for the
aged is a privilege iustead of a duty.
1t was the emperor of this heather
land who commanded his soldiers to
not only fight valiantly for their native
land, but to love their enemies.
And the prisoners of Japan found
better treatment than their homes
afforded.
Professor Nitobe seys: "What
Christianity has done in Eu-ope to-
wards arousing compassion in the
midst of belligerent horrors, love of
music and letters has done in Japan"
Yes, the Japs are heather.
They are also as consistent Chris
tiane as the world knows today, aud
they live their religion in their daily
lives.

people themselves will be better,
There wss never any strength OF char
aoter developed without struggle.
San Franeiseans will rise above their
difficulties, will gain in heroic endur-

new conditions.
Oh, shall we not all listen to the
still, small voice, and learn the lessons
OF human brotherhood, mans iusig-
nltioance, Gods supremaoyl All must
boar trouble. We cannot escape it.
How shall We take it when it comes?
Cursing the Almighty in blind rage,
going down to the grave in impctent

walking with him calmly through the
furnaces Of afliotion, and in the
brightness Of his face lie down to
