from the active work of q pastorate on
account of the we'll known health condi.
tions in my family, but have never until
! recently seen my way clear to do so.
Had Hoped to Remain.
Last fall a proposition came to me
from the west that wonld have made it
possible. and. while 1 had a strong con-
viction that j ought to go. / could not
bring myself to the point Of severing the
pastoral tie. still hoping that health con-
ditions would improve. / also felt that the
breaking of the pastoral tie at that time
would be specially Injurious on account
of the work not being fully organized for
the winter So at the January meeting
told You that Iwould stay a while longer.
and l earnestly hoped that the conditions
| mentioned might so improve that would
be justified In remaining, but such, I am
sorry to say. has not been the result.
II have been offered pastorates else
| where. but could hardly bring myself to
the point OF leaving You at this time,
with the increasing interest in the work
been opened, / trust by the Lord. to do
evangelistic work in Oklahoma. with the
backing OF many leading pastors and
business men. together with guaranteed
gagements be many or few. And am
led to believe that I should undertake
this work. This conviction has not been
reached hastily or without much prayer.

Therefore, as much as 1t pains me. and
you have given me every reason to be-
lieve that it will grieve you also, I Offer
my resignation as pastor OF this church,

In closing the pastor said:
Allow me to assure you that ] shall
ever hold you dear; and l pray that
you NAV soon find the man for pastor,
who will lead you to the accomplishment

Conveying messages of friendship and
good will from President Taft, Secre-
tary Knox, and other members of the
Cabinet. the japanese commissioners to
the Tokyo Exposition will leave Wash
ington tomorrow for Tokyo. They have
been assured formally and informally
that the Government Of the United
States proposes to do everything in its
power TO maintain the present cordial
relations subsisting between the two
countries.
The importance of these assurances
lies In the fact that next year will be
commenced the negotiations for the re-
vision of hi treaty which entered into
force in 1859 and which contains the
provision so Objectionable to the Jap
anese, authorizing the United states 90

Ia borers.
There is now in force between the two
countries what may be called "a gem

Japan herself prohibits the emigration
of laborers to America There is no

agreement. The effect viii be as Com

Battle maneuvers on a broad scale
on The Atlantic coast are to be par
ticpated in by the battleship feet when
the vessels assemble in June. after their
overhauling and repairing.
These maneuvers will, as far as pos
sible, simulate the conditions of actual
warfare, and will be more extensive
than any conducted in the past. The
entire fleet VIII take part and, in addi-
ton, three torpedo flotillas, including
both torpedo boats and dest-oyers, and
flotilla of submarines, will be placed
at the disposal of Rear Admiral Seaton
Schroeder for tactical operations dur
ing the summer.
IL has not yet been definitely decided
whether the fleet will divide, and the
two divisions make offensive and de-
fensive movements against each other,
or whether il will be maintained as a
unit, alternately attacking and defend
ing points along the coast Not only
viii the maneuvers demonstrate the
united efficiency of the fleet, but will
give an accurate idea of the possibili-
ties of torpedo craft in coast and open
sea warfare.
The third torpedo fotilla. now at
Pensacola, Fla, in the command of
Lieut.. Willis G. Mitchell, will be en-
ployed and the other two fotillas will
