MANILA TALES Of
JAPANESE SPIES
TWO ACCOUNTS OF STRANGE AC-
TIVITY OF LITTLE BROWN MEN
IN THE ISLANDS.

MANILA, Jan. 3O.-Strange stories
of Japanese activity in these islands
come up from the provinces now and
then. provincial Spaniard living in
one of the southern islands tells this
story. Some months ago, a number
of Japanese appeared in his comma
nifty looking for work in the hemp
fields. They were having some dit1-
Guilty in finding place to stay and
the Spanish gentleman, who has plenty
of room about his place invited them
to put up in one of his buildings One
of the Japanese spoke French and his
language formed their medium of com
municatiOn with the Spaniard. The
men were dressed as laborers and pro-
fessed to be in search of work. They
were employed by local capitalist and
went about their work for several days
like ordinary laborers.
Finally the Japanese failed to show
up at work one morning and inquiry
was made at their lodgings for them,
but they were nowhere to be found. No
one in the community had seen them
go. Some months after their disap-
pearance, the Spaniard who tells the
story, received, through the mails, a
beautiful inlaid box of Japanese work.
manship, together with letter. The
letter commended the Spaniard for his
hospitality and told him that the sig
nature at the end shown to any officer
of the Japanese army would secure for
the bearer every consideration desired.
A similar story comes from Nueva
Ecipa province The relatives of a
prominent Manila Spaniard Vouch for
it's authenticity. This time it was a
Japanese vender of cakes who figured
in the story. He appeared unheralded in
the pueblo, carrying two large tins
suspended from a pingue stick and
went from place to place selling his
cakes. He was dressed like a low
caste Japanese and spoke Tagalog. He
stayed at the house of the family while
he was in the pueblo. After a few
weeks he disappeared as mysteriously
i as he had come and within a short
time after, the family received letter
written in Tagalog thanking them fol
their kindness and advising them tc
! preserve the letter for future use.

himself unspottcd from the world '"
 Pure religion might be defined in many ways. Paul would say from his standpoint i, is faith; Joi,n. from his. would call it love. James. the cmi- nentIy practical characterizes il in our text as visiting the fatherless and widows in their affliction. and keeping himself unspotted from the world
 First of all. true religion is pure and undefiled. The implication is that there is such d thing as a false reli- zion. We do not need to go far to find false religions. Confucianism is a false religion. Buddhism is false religion, Mohammedanism k d false religion. any religion that is merely formalism is d false religion. That was the kind of religion of which Christ Himself spoke when he said. Woe unto you. scribcs and pharisees. hypocritcs. Such are religions in the wrong sense.
 Again. true religion Is one that has on it the stamp of the approval of God. A religion is worth nothing uD- less il stands the test that God puts upon it. We are too ready to ask if our religion will stand before the eyes of men. We are prone to say. "I am as free from fault as the next man." That isn't the question. Pure religion and undefilcd before God and the Father is the kind of religion that will stand the test. True religion is not only pure and undefilcd. stand ing the test of Almighty God, but it is visiting the "fatherleSs and widows in their affliction." That does not mean simply making d social call: it means doing them good. uplifting them. com forting them. helping any individual who needs our help up into d better life Faith that does not crystalize into service is worthless. A caution may be necessary here. Doing good never made good man. That is truth that is backed by every line of the old Book. Adolphus Busch could never justify his ill-gotten gains fin the eyes of God by giving largely to good causes.
 How far is the church manifesting
Arizona republican., 1908-03-09

the fact that her religion is pure and undcfilcd? She is justifying the fact by her actions. but she is not being religious with this true religion to the ideal degree. If the church is not help ing men she is not following the eX- ample of the Master. IL is a false statement that the church is not fol- lowing her Master. There isn't an in- stitutiOn under heaven that has done and is doing more for humanity than the bloodbought church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Twenty five million dol lars wear laid on the altar in the combined work of the church to carry tn" gospel to heather lands are a suf- ficient proof that the church has not departed from the spirit of her Lord and Master
 And then. finally. true religion is to keep himself mnspotted from the world. The world must see Christ in us that they may know Him. If you and l live the life of the Lord Jesus Christ so that men may see and know. and live the life that is hid with Christ in God. We need not be concerned about the certainty of our religion. It iS true.

 He learned obedience through suf- fering: For it became Him for whom are all things, and by whom are all things in bringing many sons unto glory. To make the Captain of their salvation perfect through suf- fering." It seems to me that the Obe- dience. the perfection here spoken of was developed through suffering You remember that memorable suffering in Gethsemane and the prayer which He made: Father if it be possible let this cup pass from me-" But at the last, with perfect tranquility. He said; 70, my Father. if this cup may not pass from me except l drink it, Thy will be done," Suffering brought Je- sus into larger comprehension of Tou VIII ana illO dpSOlute ItSlSHd- tion to that will. And so it will do with us. Said the PSalmist: Tt is good for me that l have been afflicted that I might learn Thy statutes. Be- fore l was afflicted I went astray, but now have I kept Thy word" So it should never he forgotten that the Christian life is d school of eXperi- ence, often the most serious, severe and crucifying, in which are develop ed the loveliest traits and graces.
