Religious Unity and liberation.

The appeal of the japanese Relig-
ious Association for public sub
scription to restore the Christian
churches and schools wrecked by q
Japanese mob remarks the New York
Times, sis one of the most curious ana
characteristic of recent Japanese
events. The situation calling out this
action of the Religious Association
was created last September when the
populace of Toxic. angry over the
Portsmouth terms of peace, mobbed
the Christian churches and schools.
The usual course in such case The
Times continues, would have been for
the nation whose nationals had owned
and occupied the wrecked buildings 10
demand an indemnity from the govern
ment of Japan. There was
good claim against the Japanese gov
eminent for the actual value of the
property destroyed. 1t seemed, how
ever, to the Buddhists of Japan that it
behooved the religious sects of the en-
pire to make 1t clear that there was no
anti Christian significance in the
riotous proceedings. They accordingll
proposed to the Shintoists to pay two
thirds of the cost of repair if the Shir
toists would pay the other third. 1t
by reason of the inability of the Shin
toists to do this that Japanese Budo
hisrs, Christians, Shintoists and Con-
fici;lns, united in a religious associa-
ton have made a public appeal for
furds"
