Mr.. DAVID is confident of the efficiency of the in

considered possible, however, to have any of the

An official of the Standard Oil Company I'm this
city said yesterday that the indictments charging
conspiracy against trade, found by a grand jury
of Hancock County, Ohio, doubtless were meant
to take the place of suit against directors and
subsidiary companies OF the Standard Oil which
tried In F1ndlay, Ohio, before the Judge OF en

the Standard OIL. but was thrown out by super
Tor court on the ground that the inferior court
old not have the necessary Jurisdiction.
The present indictments, the official said could
have no effect against companies and directors
in other states, as no Ohio court could summon
the officials and companies into It's Jurisdiction AS
to the Ohio companies indicted, the worst that
could happen that fines might be indicted on
them.

Take back your laurel wreath of green
And set me far behind the days

Let me go back to Bailey's creek.
Where boys are splashing in tho hole
And where the bullhead's greedy pull
Is putting tremors In my SOUL
Take back your laurel wreath and CROWN

And let me run. a barefoot boy.
Where ripples sing their lullaby.
Just let me wander with my dog
To where the chipmunk scolds the jay
To where the dreamy summer sun
Sends dancing prisms Its way.
And when the sun sinks low to rest
And all the countryside is stiii
Let me lie down to dream awhile
Beside some fern embowcred rili.
All, Fame. take back your iordly prize,
The plaudits of a worldly bliss,
And grant to me this ecstasy:
The nectar OF a mothers kissi
And while the light holds out to burn,
Let me dream onward into age
That marks the toilcr's recompense,
The sunset of the closing page.

of salary and labor entirely by the
missionary. When IT has chanced that
one of these evangelists has received
larger salary than the regular pas
tor of the church itself. there has nat
urally been feeling.
II must be remembered that the
missionary in Japan is not a pastor.
He has no congregational duties and
responsibilities. such as ordinarily are
borne by preacher in America. Ev-
cry congregation has its own native
pastor and officers. These may con-
suit with the missionary, but he can
not boss them. The preaching mis-
sionary's work is evangelistic; he
pioneers Christianity into new places.
In this he is assisted by evangelists,
who work under his personal super.
vision.
The money. however. is in the mis-
sionary's control. Not all the churches.
by any means. are self supporting.
They must look to America and Eng
land for help With the control of the
money has gone, TO a greater or less
degree, a voice in the direction of the
work. Right here comes the rub. The
Japanese want to control the money.
and in some cases the missionary.
too The talk is all of cooperation. >"
but 1t is not cooperation in which
the missionary plays almoner. In fact,
since the Japanese churches have
their own mission boards they feel
or, at least. an outspoken wing of
them feel-that the latter should have
the entire administration of mission
methods and money, with, of course,
the full counsel of the missionaries.

Toxic, Japan-That many or most
Japanese Christians say no more for
eign missionaries are wanted in Japan.
and that numbers of the strongest
missionary leaders agree with them.
at least to the extent of saying that
no new forces should be sent out for
the present, is the rather sensational
conclusion to which i have been
forced after six weeks study of the
missionary situation here.
A grave crisis confronts the mis-
sions in Japan. How serious 1t is
the church people in America have
no conception. That an open rupture
between the missions and the Jap
anese churches has been narrowly
ayerted, and is still a dangerous pos
sibility. is freely admitted ON all sides.
The gravity of the situation is recog-
nized by everybody concerned. 1t
affects present religious conditions in
the empire. but. more important still.
1t has bearing upon the future of
Christian missions in almost every
country in the world The questions
that are up for settlement here and
now Will constitute a precedent for
all other mission lands. The very
magnitude of the crisis has sobered
all parties concerned. so that the bit.
terness and hostilities which marked
the earlier stages of the controversy
are passing away, and on every side
the extreme views are being modified.
Japanese Churches Assert Themselves.
The present tense situation has its
tap root in the spirit of Japanese ua-
uonalism This people is exceedingly
sensitive and proud. 1t resents with
bitterness and sarcasm being called
heather" nation, and thus being
classed with the natives of Africa and
the South Sea Islands. Equally is it
averse TO remaining under foreign
control and tutelage in its religious
life. The sentiment which caused the
abolition of extra-territorial political
rights to foreigners. and which to this
day leads the Japanese prints to
speak of the foreign communities as
former settlements" is keenly alive
to what is felt to be an attitude of

can Board Mission, contained these
st-iking sentences. The time for
'extra-territoriar Christianity in Japan
IS rapidly drawing to an end. II 1t is
not already passed. Missions and mis-
sionarles are being tested. They have
accomplished a mighty work in the
past and 1t is in their power to do
even greater work in the present and
immediate future. Will they meet the
test and rise to the opportunity that
is theirs?"
On this last point the Japanese are
quite insistent. They say the new day
demands a new kind of help from
America. Instead of men to do preach
ing and teaching-for which some as
ssrt there are now sufficient qualified
Japanese-they want men of the char.
acter and calibre of President Charles
Cuthbert Hall, of Union Seminary,
New York. who made a pronounced
impression during his recent visit to
Japan. They want statesmanlike
leaders, men OF large culture. great
learning and broad sympathies. The
best that America has In the way of
teachers and pastors may profitably
be sent TO Japan to lead her native
leaders and inspire her native inspir-
ers.
In the meantime the majority of
missionaries. as well as many Japan
ese, declare that Japan still needs the
missionaries. The native church is
not strong enough. either In men or
Tloney. 10 go 1t alone. Japanese
preachers from outlying parts of the
empire say frankly that this whole
uproar is Toxic product, and they
hint at the ambition of certain Toxic
leaders to control the Japanese church.
An English missionary told me that
the control of funds could not be
turned over to Japanese until the lat
ter. as a nation, have learned new
ideas Of trusteeship. He cited the
case of a treasurer who used trust
funds TO pay his fathers debts, saying
naively that his obligations to his
father took precedence to all other OBJ

missionaries assert that such charges
are the mere race prejudice of the
white man.
