pond at Whips Cross in Epping For
est. Eng A nurse who was carrying
a baby was stopped by a lady. who
appeared to lay claim TO the child. A
fierce alteration which ensued was
suddenly ended by the nurse taking
the baby in her arms and leaping into
the deepest part of the pond. The
other woman screamed and ran away
pursued by a policeman, who brought
her back in custody. Meanwhile BY
stander had courageously jumped INTO
the water and rescued the nurse; and
a fine bulldog, which suddenly ap'

Young Mems buddhist Association.

Japanese Buddhism is remarkable
for the great number of sects into
which the believers are divided. Every
conceivable tendency of thought is
represented by different grouping.
OF late there has moreover been great
activity in the formation of Buddhist
societies among the educated people.
Among organizations recently formed,
the Great Japan Young Mems Buddhist
association, which works among the
students of the different Toxic univer.
stiles, is perhaps the most important.
Many of its older members have at
tained high position in the social and
political world, and the society there
fore enjoys considerable influence
among the intellectual classes. 1t in
cludes among its members adherents
of all the different sects Of Buddhism.
