THEIR PRIDE HURT.

Within week l have heard one Of the most
spiritual and earnest Of the prominent Japanese
pastors speak btingly. in the presence Of a large
congregation Of japanese, of the day when the
japanese ministers were called native helpers" by
The foreigners. This sort of thing has touched
Japan the quick.
Underlying the problem. also. is the ingrained
and iueradcable Anglo-Saxon sense Of superiority
10 other races ! myself have enough to
warrant the belief that there is ground for the
japanese sensitiveness on this subject. Not all
missionaries conduct themselves toward the jap
anese preachers and Christians toward man,
brother and an equal Those who do
few, but they should be called homo. Their
fulness here is ended. If It ever existed To this
attitude on the part of certain foreigners may be
traced the ecclesiastical inconsiderateness not TO
say hostility, Of the japanese. Missionaries not a
few know as well as the native ministry what il
is 10 have their feelings hurt
The upshot Of the matter has been the growth
81 self-governing Japanese denominations. The
largest of these is The Church of Jesus Christ
in Japan" which includes all the Presbyterian and
Reformed bodies: there are here none Of the Pres
tyterian subdivisions that exist in America. Next
in size comes the "Kunliai," or Congregational
churches with whom win shortly be included the
United Brethren and Methodist Protestants The
Tapanese Methodist bodies-North, South ana
Canadian-have been seeking consolidation. AT
first the mission boards across the water inter
,,osed obstacles 70 this union. but the japanese
nIethodists spoke out so promptly and loudly that
all barriers TO the creation of one Methodist church
tn Japan have been removed. and next spring the
formal organization Will be effected. The Protest
ant Episcopal church and the Church of England
have likewise Joined forces here. There IS little
doubt that this union movement will continue, the
..ongreeationalists and the Presbyterians coales-
cling al an early date Many predict a speedy
union Of all native churches into one japanese

WHERE THE CONFLICT COMES.

Ta, uaradoxicaI statement is true broadly
speaking. THAI while the relations between the
individual missionary and the individual japanese
Christians have been cordial. the relations be
tween The missions and tie native churches have
been strained
The forces and the funds. The missionary and his
personal helpers have worked in and for the local
congregations, but the latter have had no control
over them. The missionary is entirely outside the
jurisdiction Of the native church. He works when
and where and how he pleases or as his mission
directs. So too, the evangelsts employed by the
missionary are governed in the matter Of salary
and labor entirely by tho missionary. When it
has chanoed that OF these evangelists has
yeceived A larger salary than the regular pastor
Of the church itself. there has naturally been
feeling Indeed some japanese have gone so far
as to say that il is fair for the foreign mis-
1iousry 10 receive four times the salary Of the
japanese pastor
II must be remembered that the missionary in
Japan is not a pastor He has no congregational
duties and responsibilities. such ordinarily are
borne hy preacher in America. Every congre-
cation has its own native pastor and officers.
These may consult with the missionary. but he
cannot boss them. The preaching missionary $
work is evangelistic he pioneers Christianity into
new places. In this he Is assisted by evanEelists
who work under his personal supervision
The money, however, is in the missiOnary's con-
erol. Not all the churches by any means are self
eupportirS They must look 10 America and Eng
land for help. With the control of the money has

More Than $4,000 Pupils
Improved Methods
of Teaching.

The recent action of the Rev. DR. Charles
Parkhurst in engaging trained Sunday school
teachers from Teachers College to conduct the
Sunday school of the Madison Square Presby-
terian Church. and paying them regular sala-
ries for their services will no doubt be looked
upon by persons who have not been keeping
track of Sunday school affairs as a startling i'll
novation. 1t is innovation in that, while in
various instances Sunday school has had one
or more paid workers, none has ever been
known to place it's entire teaching staff upon a
business basis. Yet it is only one more sign
of a general change of methods ali along the
line in the Sunday school world.
Many grown persons remember the Sunday
school of their youth as rather a dreary thing.
Sitting on hard seat in a badly lighted and
badly ventilated room (for up TO recent times
the Sunday school hardly considered in
building church,. the children of the good old
days stumbled as best they could through the
answers 10 such questions as these:
What is sanctifcation?"
What do the wicked do in hell?"
Wherein is the moral law summarily coz.
prehended?"
In the up-to-date Sunday school of to-day
boys and girls hear very little about the moral
law in so many words Instead, they cluster
around table covered with clean white sand,
ailu unQer the guidance or the teacher they
mould the sand into the semblance of the foot
hills between Philistia and Judea, and the Vale
of Sorek. above which was Samson's boyhood
nome. With the scenery of the story thus
brought before their eyes and made real by
the teachers running comparisons with places
they know (as, From here to here is far as
from New York 10 West Point: or, This
plateau is high as the Flatiron Building
would be put on top of itself twenty times }
the children trace Samsons journeys from the
nils to the cities of the plains, and before the
lesson lis over il has been pretty firmly fixed in
their minds how, through playing the fool and
yielding to temptation, Samson lost his moral
to ruin.
Or they construct the Oriental scene of Re
becca at the well, in the course of which the
teacher, chiefly by the Socratic method, gets
them TO see that thoughtfuIness for others Is
the point of that story they make NINA
ture of the perilous ways over which the Is
raelites passed I'm the Exodus. and have it i'm
pressed upon them how lack of trust and cour-
age lost the Israelites the Promised Land.
