this country, the Prince OF Wales can
assert that he has seen one in Japan
twelve hundred years old. A giant
pine, with its branches supported by
stout props, IL is permanent sacri-
fee TO Buddha. Kobo Daishi built
pasoda in honor Of Buddha twelve
centuries ago, and in front OF IL he
set his pine as perpetual offering.

Twelve hundred years is a long per-
iod in which to trace the history of

of the present dynasty, and they were

OF the pine trees growth as OF the
descent of their present emperor

BURMESE BUDDHISTS.

Worship OF the image OF Buddha
as practiced in Burma is vividly de-
llneated In the photograph on this
page. 1t is the boast OF the Burmese
that nowhere, unless possibly In Cey-
lon are the teachings Of the great
Gautama preserved and followed
with the purity that they are il
Burma. Yet taking the teachings as
they have come down TO US, no one
can conceive Of the teacher accepting
or In any sense approving the rites
practiced by his followers Of this gen.
Grafton; they are so utterly allen 10

Buddhists priests have their own waY
Of reconcillng the formality, the rites
and ceremonies Of the worship In
their temples with the Buddhism that
Gautama taught, but TO us it seems
that It Is removed from 1t as far as a

the simplicity Of a Quaker meeting.
The extraordinary fact is that Gau-

Fear lent wings 20 the children's
feet. and. taking a short cut across
the Ids, they were not long in
reaching the scene OF action. A
punsent smell OF smoke filled the air,
and as the two girls came in sight Of

that II was on fire.

Sadie; don't go one step further," 4"
Then. quickly skirting the small gar
den plot. she tore around 20 the back,
just in time 20 see the terrified boys
making off as fast as their legs would
carry them. Then, before she could
turn around, she felt herself being
lifted off her feet and carried rapidly
away, and a minute afterward there
was a tremendous roar, a great sheet
Of fame shot up into the air, the
earth seemed 10 reel and shake, and
then everything grew suddenly and
strangely black
When Sadie came TO herself she
was lying in her own room, with
father and mother bending anxiously
over her and Or. Buxton sitting by
her bedside with his finger on her
pulse.

surprised tone. What has hap
pened?"
It's lucky you are all right, young
lady, the doctor said, with a relieved
smile. You had a narrow squeak,
| can tell you. II was a mighty for
tunate thing that the Italian left in
charge Of the supply store had the
courage and presence OF mind to pick
you up and run.
Where are Bessie and Joe?" Sadie
asked, springing up with terror in her
heart.
Safe, dear, both of them" said
mother, soothngly.

Suddenly the distant sound OF eX-

C.-about the time that Ezra and
Nehemiah were gathering their peo-
pie to return to the Holy Land by per.
mission of Cyrus-began to declare
his faith in opposition to the Brah-
manism which had dominated the
thought of India for more than a
thousand years, should have been
able to establish il single-handed. and
that in our time. twenty-five centuries
later, it survives and is the creed OF
five hundred million human beings.
AS far as We can gather from the
traditions that have come down to
us, Gautama revolted from Brahman-
ism, and like Ecclesiastes, sought
spiritual peace by various means. He
first tried philosophy. and then bodily
austerites by which he nearly lost his
life. At last he made his great dis
covery, as he states in his sacred
writings, that ITO cease from sin, to
get virtue. to cleanse ones own heart,
is the only way to peace. This, " he
said. lis the doctrine of Buddha
To die to desire, to make absolute
self-surrender TO God, TO be utterly
Indifferent to the world, sustained
by the inward life, Ito be nothing"
until finally individuality was swal-
lowed up in the Nirvana, that was
Buddha's idea as il appears to the
modern student. II is difficult to un-
derstand how such a doctrine could
have become corrupted into the Bud
dhism that kissed the toe OF an image.

Sadie and /. 5sie and Joe; ard Joe,
being the only boy I'm the family, had
an idea that he ought to be allowed
a little more freedom than his sisters.
They were only girls, anyway, he
argued, and girls had no business in
a crowd, especially when there were
bombs and cannon to be let off; but
a boy-well, a boy could so anywhere
and be safe.
But Mr.. Dayton, JOe's father, evil
IDENTIFY held a different opinion, COR
he said, very decidedly, that Joe could
not take part in the village celebra-
ton. Best place for boys is home,
he added. as he went out to the field
with his men. And Joe knew that ar
gument was worse than useless.
But in his way Joe was just as de-
termined as his father, and If he
couldn't go TO the village he said to
himself, he would have little Cele-
bration Of his own at home He had
some pocket money hidden away in a
little old trunk up in the garrett and
with that he would buy all the fire
crackers he wanted. He would find
secluded place. far enough from the
house to insure himself against de-
lection, and there he would let them
off.
= 1t did not occur to him then that
he would have rather lonesome time
of IL letting of his fireCraCkers by
himself; but a few days later. when
the Elton boys and Jack Hardy came
into the store where he was buying
his fireCrackers to make their own
purchases, his secret became all at
once too good to keep The result
was that the other boys agreed to
