MORE: JAPANESE ASSAULTED.

!" / Fies.
Assaults upon Christian missiona-
ries in China are not unusual and in
times past have been one Of the chief
assets Of European powers seeking an
excuse for grabbing parcel of land
here and there, but attacks by Chin
csc upon Japanese priests Of a religion
common to all the Orient are unusual.
Japanese papers do not comment upon
the uniqueness. of an assault recently
committed by Chinese upon Buddhist
priests in the province of Wwantung,
been known to do in times past, they
clamor for retr1bution.
At Changte a Chinese mob recently
attacked a Buddhist temple erected
and supported by Japanese priests of
what is known as the West Hongwan
sect of the Buddhistic creed. The
Toxic papers say that after the as
sault the chief priest of the temple,
Matsujima Shise, sent letter of; pro-
test to the district magistrate setting
forth in pretty plain terms the amount
of the damages both to the temple
and to the pride of the priests.
Receiving no answer, the priest
went in litter to the yamen Of the
magistrate. While he was actually in
conversation with that official the
Chinese runners and court attendants
fell upon him, so the Japanese papers
have it, and kicked him brutality. The
Chinese official made no move to in
tervene and the Buddhist priest had
to run for his life.
The Japanese press sets this down
as another instance of the growing
antipathy against Japanese which 1t
found by them all through China from
the high court officials at Pekin to
the traders at Canton. There was no
religious impulse behind the attack
on the West Hongwan temple, for al
though most Of. the lower class Chi
nese are devil worshippers and at best
devoted to the ancestral worship cult
there still remains sufficient leaven
Of Buddhism to prevent any antagon-
ism against the propagation Of its
teachings. ~

WOMAN BALL TEAM MANAGER.

Emmett, Idaho, has woman man

August Thommen, wife of the man
ager of the hotel at Emmett, and her
team is called the Junior League, be-
ing composed of Emmett boys, The
boys wanted to play ball without out
side towns, but some of the mothers
objected to their going away from
home without a chaperone, and Mrs.
Thommen consented to act as such,
to the great delight of the boys. The
boys had their first game last Sat
urday, when Mrs. Thommen took
them to Nampa to plays a boys team.
Now. the Emmett youths are shy on
whiskors, of necessity, owing to their
tender years, and they say 1t was be-
cause the Nampa boys, some of
them, are particularly strong on fa-
cial adOrnment, that the Emmett
team is loser. The score was 13 to

A Little Lesson in New
Thought

To the mind CT the student who
understands that the Infinite is ON
nipresent-everywhere present at
the same time, in all the billions of
worlds in the universe-there must
come a desire 20 know something of
Heaven. Most of US have been
taught Heaven is an area that can
be measured with yardstick, and
then we wonder how the infinite can
occupy all space and still be in a
! lace called Heaven.
The Nazarene said in the seventh
chapter of st. Luke, part of the Goth
and 2lst verses: 1.-The kingdom of
God comoth not with observation.
Neither shall they say, 10 here! or
lc there! for, behold, the kingdom
of God is within you"
Ralph Waldo Trine in his work "In
Tune With the Infinite" says, "The
word heaven means harmony. The
word he'll is from the old English
hell, meaning To- build wall around.
to separate. to be helled was to be
shot off from. Now, if there is such
a thing as harnOnv there must be
that something one can he in right
relations with, for to be in right re-
lations with anything is to be in har-
mony with it. Again, if there is such
q thing as being helled, shut off.
separated from, there must be that
something from, which one is held.
shut off, or separated"
After all, then there is little diff
ference between orthodox and new
thought heaven and hell. For in
| either case if we are not in har-
mony with God we are shut off from
him and in hell.
! In our first lessons we dwelt upon
the perfect recollection of the sub
conscious mind. That at death we
came into full touch with the pow
ers of this mind; and it might be
! likened unto scroll or our book
of life on which every act and
thought is written.
If good, we are in right relation
heaven. If bad, the conscience we
have smcthered until we did not
know VIC had enc has an inning
we are in hell. We are not in har'
mOny with God. We are separated
and shut off from the Infinite.
