The social neighbor is not always
the useful neighbor, yet each in her
place has special influences to exert
of equally beneficial consequences.
The sympathetic neighbor is also a
popular one, but she has to exercise
continuous tact, lest her solacing in
fuence may occasionally be overdone
or utilized at untimely periods. The
inquisitlve neighbor is always dread
to everybody within the reach Of her
inqusitive curiosity, as she does not
seem to have any intuitive respect
for others feelings as regards their
divulgence of personal affairs to an
outsider.
The truest and most respected of
all neighbors, however, is the one
who always speaks well of everybody
who devotes the largest share of her
sympathies to her own affairs, is
chary of administering unsolicited
advice, and who always waits until
her social and useful capacities are
requested, and never renders herself

The Small Boy.

Nothing is better calculated to ruin
a small boy than for him to have two
homes, to either of which he is per-
mitted to go at will. If mother re-
proves or chestizes him for his naugh
tiness, he takes his hat and goes O.
yer to grandma's or aunties house.
There he is received, cajoIed, petted
and permitted to remain a day or two
or perhaps a week Then, because of
some overt act, he is reproved, and
he picks up his hat and goes off home
where he is kindly received and no
reference had to his former miscon-
duct. In this way he is permitted to
oscillate between two homes, all the
time developing his disregard of the
restraints of rightful authority.
Trained in this way, he grows up
selfwilled, has no regard for the right
or wishes of others, and unless some
remarkable freak of grace interposes
to check his wild career. he is pretty
certain to land 10 the penetentiary,

Corn Crop the Thing.

There is no question as to Missis-
sippi planting this season for the big
gest corn crop in its history and we
venture the confident belief that it
will receive the attention given in
old times when Mississippi was al
was corn surplus state, and such
things as impotted corn or bacon
were unknown in this region. The
boy corn clubs will be important
factors in this years production. In
the aggregate they represent an
enormous acreage, and are in evil
dence in every county. Their Efforts,
skill. and peculiarly their example,
will add millions of bushels to the
corn harvest of 1909. Those boys
will make good corn crops lin spite
of vino or weather.

Safeguards For Young Men.

Now, what are the safeguards of
young men. The first safeguard of
which we want to speak is love of
home. There are those who have no
idea of the pleasures that concen-
trate around that word home. Per
haps your early abode was Swallowed
with vice or poverty. Harsh words
and petulance and scowling may have
destroyed ali the Sanctity of that
spot. Love, kindness and seIf-sacri-
fee, which have built their affairs in
so many abodes, were strangers in
your fathers house. God pity you,
young man. You meyer had home
But multitude of young men can
look back to the spot that they can
never forget. 1t may have been a
lowly roof, but you cannot think of
it now without dash of emotion.
You have seen nothing on earth that
has so stirred your soul. A stranger
passing along that place might see
nothing &markable about it, but oh!
how mucN it means to you. Fresco
on palacfswa does not mean so much
to you as those rough hewn rafters.
Parks and bowers and trees at fash

say that it has spread as moral
philosophy, rather than as religion.
1t may continue to grow, and be
widely accepted, but it will never be-
come a national religion. Had Christ
ianity been our ancient faith, the
situation would have been different.
Moreover Christianity would have
been greater in Japan were it not for
the UNCONVENTIONAL divisions and
strife, which have hindered Christian
growth here. l am glad to notice
a decrease of this, both in Japan and
America. Mission boards should take
into account the Importance of this
matter.

selves? They have done only good
and not evil Their educational work
especially has been great-too much
cannot be said in favor of it. But

is still a place in Japan for the best

How Ambassador Wright Sizes Up

Count Okuma's words have caused a
depression from the first point of this

pressed to me by the American am

Shiminoseki, Japan.-As l leave
Japan for Korea, it is necessary to
summarize the results of three
months investigation into religious
conditions and missionary work in
Japan. l find that some of the state
mentS now to be set down are rather
sensational; this is due to the facts,
and not to their reporting. Indeed,
unimportant news could scarcely be
expected from the country which en-
bodies the worlds greatest political
problems, the far eastern question.
That much-discussed question, one
learns who painstakingly studies it on
tie ground, is really commingling
of racial, religious, economical and
these articles who has not seen in
them more than a treatment of mis-
sions and religion has not grasped
all the meaning that the writer in
tended to convey.
Playing to the Western Gallery.
The Japanese government, which
has ever before its eyes the import
ance of influencing western opinion,
has been playing politics with Chris
tianity. Like any other nation in sim
liar circumstances, it has employed
every agency at hand that would
serve it's own purpose; since the west
ern world is nominally Christian,
Japan has, throughout the present era,
displayed favorable attitude toward
Christianity. Indeed, that shrewd old
statesman, Marquis Ito (whom many
Americans have been led to look
upon as sort of main prop of the
church in Japan, although, judged by
even the loose Japanese standards, he
is "a most immoral MANI proposed
that Japan make Christianity its state

dor went on to speak in detail of N
dividual missionaries. He left upon
my mind the impression that he I'M
equivocally approves of the mission
aries.
My own Investigations, while they
have of necessity gone more intimate
ly into the work and qualifications of
the missionary body in Japan, have
led me to the same general conclusion
as that reached by the ambassador.
| have met personally $50 missiona-
ries, of all creeds, stationed in every
part of Japan. l have seen them at
work and at play. l have sought out
the criticism against them and their
work that could be heard. Wherever
Il have learned of a critic or antagonist

missionary force. Summing all up
l am bound to say that the mission
aries as whole grade higher than
even the ministry at home. Their
devotion to their work, and to the
welfare of the Japanese is unques-
toned. The results of their labor
are beyond doubt really great. To
say that their converts are not genu-
inc and their work superficial is
simply to betray a lack of knowledge
of conditions that are apparent to any
unbiased observer. OF course there
are individual missionaries not a few
who are misfits and should be re-
called, and of course there are minor
points on which the missionaries are
undoubtedly open to criticism. Never
theleSS, these cannot affect the gen.
eral verdict, that the missionaries are
creditable representative of the best
life of the Christian nations, and that
their efforts are bearing fruit which
justify the cost.
The Opinion of the Optimists.
This leads right back to the main
question, will Japan become a Chris
tian nation?" AS opposed to the mega
tive view of nearly all the government
officials with whom ! have talked,
find every Christian, foreigner and
Japanese, taking a confidently afirma-
tive view. In no case has a Christian
betrayed the slightest note of uncer-
tainty on this point. They ridicule
all idea of an amalgamation of Chris
tianity, Buddhism and Shintcism, say
ing that this is Buddhist talk Budd-
hism feels it's weakness and forsees
impending defeat, and wants to capt.

A gentlemen hands US the follow

From the bit of confusion we have
noticed in approaching these mascu-
line groups, we rather suspect the
words are not wide of the mark 1t
is certainly amusing, when one has a
little leisure to approach a group of
men on the sidewalk, and listen to
the conversation just to hear how
carelessly profanity mixes in. This

tips off dozen bad words in no
