WORLDS
GREATEST
COMING
RinqIinq Brothers Circus viii Be Here
August Is

Ringing Bros worlds greatest
circus is scheduled for two exhibit
ltions in Salem, on Wedneday, August
2S, and no better news than this can
be announced II is circus this
season made up almost entirely of
European talent, and so large that
five long trains are required to trans
port It. The key note of novelty has
been sounded this season by these
great circus men, who have searched
Europe with a view to presenting a
program of the worlds greatest tai
ent and entirely new to America.
Here are some of the specialties
which were the arenic sensations OF
Europe last winter. Riccobono's
troup of trained horses that stand
out as the greatest examples of ami
NAL training the world has even seen.
One of these animals, known as "The
Goodnight" horse, lights a candle,
makes his bed, takes off boots and
coat, winds the clock, put out the
candle and goes to bed.
other acts are a most laughable
clown bull fight from Spain; the per-
formance OF the De Rocks and a re-
markable dog which does its full
share of wonderful acrobatic act;
the Patty Brothers, who walk on
their heads; the Mirze Golem Persian
acrobatic performance; sensational
feats on a high wire by the Holloway
family; Italy's greatest riding act
presented by Daisy Hodgini; the
Alverez troup from Spain, the Legard
troup from France and the Borsenis
from Italy. The Marnelo-Marnite
quartet OF acrobats do a specially
with bells strapped to their legs and
arms, and while turning double
and double twlsters from
one pair of shoulders TO another,
play selections from operas. Mar
no, the great Spanish clown, is also
among the foreign importations.
or the greatest interest are the act
u the five Bedinis and. their famous
log, all OF whom simultaneously
ump on the back of a single horse:
he performance of the greatest
lerialists in the world. the flying
Iordans; an entirely new creation in
lcrobatic specialties by the Belfords:
he unicycle riding OF the great Kauf-
mann family; a new and sensational
est OF strength and endurance by !
and Hanley, and the |
Clarkonians.
All the arenic acts that have been
cen in the past 20 years have not |
ossessed the novelty contained in a
ingle performance OF the Ringing
Brothers circus. Besides the acts /
lentioned there are a hundred more
ew and excellent. The cleanliness
nd artistic finish that have always
characterized the Ringing Brothers
ircus are present in a marked de-
rec.

AT PLAY IN JAPAN

ing the first hymn many persons even to little child in front of me, were affected to tears. I could not un- derstand why anybody should weep over the hearty singing of a familiar hymn until it was explained that the sight and sound of so many Christians singing together was too much for the missionaries, who, for at least a year. had been shut off in the interior towns and villages, seeing only Japa- nese faces and hearing only Japanese speech. Then I began to realize the loneliness which is often one of the heaviest taxes laid upon mission ary.
 The Missionary's Worst Hardship.
 Even worse, as I may as well men, tion at the outset, since it is the con- stant specter at every missionary fam fly board. is the enforced separation of parents from children. This strikes down to the deeps of human nature. The breaking of these ties that are as old as the race, and stronger than death, is the overcoming tragedy of missionary life. Children must be ed ucated in the homeland; it seems i'm possible to raise good American in an Asiatic atmosphere. Even in earli- est years the children imbibe with the native tongue more knowledge of evil than comes to the normal boy and girl at home in 20 years. As they approach or enter their teens missionaries chil-

 Karuizawa, Japan.-The first day landed in Japan I set out, hot :oot, to find missionary. I want cd to hear what he had to say for himself in answer to some of the criticisms that I had heard aboard ship. But hours of jinrikisha riding in Yokohama and Tokio failed to un- cover one.
 ''Karuizawa," was the word I got from native servants in tenantless missionary homes; and Karuizawa, said the red guidebook, which is the tourists badge of greenness, is re- sort in the mountains of interior Japan much frequented by mission aries and other foreigners. When l said "Karuizawa" to one of the polite officials at the railroad station he straightway took my affairs in hand; attended to my baggage, requi- sitioned the proper porters, and then himself went with me and ordered my ticket and saw that 1 got the right change: all without expectation of a fee, which he, like the Japanese po- liceman, would consider an insult The ticket, by the way, was second class, I found; and later learned that it is thus that all missionaries travel in Japan.

 In the light of what 1 see here in Faruizawa the many tales have heard

dren must be surrendered, and ire quently they are not seen again by their parents until they have attained manhood or womanhood Tragic tales are told of children who do not recoS- nize their own parents and of parents who do not recognize their own chll- dren, after these long separations. This appears to me to be the worst Of all the hardships that come to these uncomplaining missionaries
 While on the domestic aspect of the missionarys life, it is worth recording that the second generation may ire quently be found on the field l have met several instances of it here. A "children's party of second genera ton missionaries brought together a score of young men and women a few days since. Quite unusual was a service in the Auditorium last Sunday, when Margaret Hail, the infant daugh- ter of two young missionaries, was baptized by one grandfather, the other grandfather and an uncle assisting, and both grandmothers and an aunt 
 missionaries. Mark you this was not in a long settled New England com munity, but in an ancient village in the heart of Japan. The grandfather who officiated was a Cumberland Pres byterian, and he used the new Presby- terian Book of Common Worship
 Makers of an Empire.
 One is surprised to find in this sin gle European community of perhaps 600 persons a dozen or more whose names have been for nearly a genera tion household words in thousands of American homes. Here are men whose careers are inseparably in- wrought with the making of the new Japan; not only are they among the founders of the Christian church here. | but they are also conspicuous figures in the civil history of the empire, the friends and counsellors of statesmen, the pioneers of higher education, the ! makers of Japan's new literature, and the introducers of the dearly-prized western learning"
 Critical Days In Japan.
 If they cannot preach the mission, aries can think They have to do so if they are to work here. Japan is not big enough to hold that type of small man who is inhospitable to new ideas. Contidentially, I understand that this is the reason why not a l few men who felt themselves called to be missionaries have been recalled by the boards after a few years on the field. The religious problems oi Japan are tremendous; just now they are acute. There is nothing like them in America, nor are they at all under stood there. Christianity in Japan is passing through an epoch that is also a crisis.
 It must now suffice to say that liv ing face to face with a great and vital question. which has had no

of the missionary's opulence are rap idly being dissipated. The mission aries here are unquestiOnably repre- sentative of those throughout the ori- ent; they are of all ages, are of all denominational names, are engaged in every branch of mission work, and come from every part of Japan, as well as from three or four other countries All alike dress most ineXpenslvely, and one does not have to look closely to see the evidences of enforced eco nOmy familiar in the case of the cOun- try parson in the home land. The summer homes hereabouts can boast little except fine views and plenty of fresh air; they are not on par with the cottages in the resorts l have named. The buildings are plain wood en structures, generally unpainted or else an ugly red color, and each dwelling seems to be crowded, in the approved summer resort fashion; for expenses diminish by division. There is always room for the hospitality which missionaries learn in the east, if they never knew it at home; and manifestly these are homes of real re- finement, since four-ffths of the mis- sionaries are college bred. The num- Der of Phi Beta Kappa keys worn, stand ing as they do, for highest rank in the best American colleges, impresses one interested in such matters. Since coming here I have had no occasion to blush for my cOuntrymen, which was not the case in Yokohama.
 The Easy Life of the Orient.
 There are more servants here than In any similar resort over seas. Each household has from two to five native servants, depending generally on the number of children in the family. This is not quite so luxurious as it sounds, for servants are plentiful and cheap here Housekeeping in Japan does not entail the domestic drudgery com mon in the west, and altogether life is smoother and more comfortable. Al ready it has been made plain that the commonly entertained notion concern ing the hardshipS of missionary life, in Japan. at least, is erroneous. This is a civilized land. Most of the convent ences and comforts of life in America are obtainable here, plus many not known to the occident. So far as the material aspects of residence in Japan are concerned l see no reason for the fearful pity and sympathy so frequent ly extended to the missionary. Life in the Sunrise kingdom may be as en joyabe as life anywhere else.
 One less pleasant aspect of the mis sionary's lot was brought to mind at the first Sunday service I attended, in the new Auditorium, which is situated within 50 yards of an old Shintc shrine. The seating capacity is about 450, and the building was filled with Europeans -. all white folk are called out here), interested brown faces peepi9g in at doors and windows. Dur

Facing the Facts.

Most of the missionaries here are Americans and Canadians, and it is gratifying to find that they seem still to retain their level-headedness They are not fanatics Their attitude is one of a sober confronting of the things as they are They suffer no delusions concerning their work or concerning the Japanese. To cite an illustration: The day of my arrival, a young Ohioan (the persistence of American provincialisms and dialects over here, even among men who speak Japanese like natives, is inter esting to an observer), total strang- CT, helped me out of linguistic snarl at the post office. Then he crossed the street with me and smilingly since you must always bargain with a smile in this polite land, helped me make a purchase 25 per cent. cheaper than the natives asking price. The duplicity and guilefulness of the Japanese tradesman are an open book to these missionaries who, while intensely loyal to the Japanese, are not blind to certain graver ma tional shortcomings. The varied diff fculties which beset their own work are frankly recognized; not all mis- sionary meetings hear reports as tenn. perate and discriminating as are made by the workers here.
