Because: When you are sick or for

How the Missionaries Stand.
All this is noteworthy in the light
of the fact that Sendai Knows few for
eigners save missionaries. With the
exception of two teachers in the gov
ernment schools, the entire foreign
community in Sendai is made up of
Christian preachers and teachers.
From them the city has obtained its
favorable impressions of foreigners. 1t
is said that any white mans word is
perfectly good in the stores of the
city. The attitude of the officials is
certainly more than. kind; it is cor
dial and sympathetic to the last de-
gree. On the occasion of the return
of Rev. DR.. D. B, SCHNEIDER from
America he was met at the station by
all the prominent officials of the city
and province, as we'll as by multi
tude of other persons. 1t is said that
DR.. Schneider, who Is the Oldest mis-
sionary of the Reformed church here,
and Rev. DR.. John H. DeForest, of the
American board, are the leading citi-
zens of Sendai. Certainly they are
high in the friendship and honor of
the official classes.

Where Americans Are Welcome.
This city is a strategic point in
Japan. With a hundred thousand in
habitants, it is considered the metro
polls OF the north. 1t has l,5O0 SOL
diers in garrison, and some 5000 stu
dents in its schools. On it's bay is
Matsushima, one of the three beau
tiiul places in Japan, a series of
lovely islands, pine-covcred and water
worn, with famous temple on one,
and caves hundreds of years old,
carved by the Ainu, where lived the
Buddhist priests from the beginning
of Sendais glory. The city is noted
for its progressiveness and hospitality
to foreigners, and yet for it's thorough
ly Japanese character. For instance,
there is only one vehicle in the city
to which horse is driven, and that
is the prison van. Of course there are
draught horses, led, or as the Japa-
nese term truly has it, pulled" by

When Mr.. Lloyd Griscom, the for

the lavish fashion which only the
orient knows. Other Americans have
had similar experiences. The Ameri-
