And who then is willing to conse-
crate his service this day unto the
Lord?"
As the Sundays come week after
week many OF us gather together who
perhaps seldom meet on other occa-
sions. and as the years roll by we miss
one w~ell-known face after another. and
we sorrow for, those we Will see no
more. We know these gaps have come
to remain as long as we are here In
our earthly home. and in
the sad hours must come, but we must
remember there is also much to cheer
and encourage us in meeting and wor-
Shipping with those who are here and
who come with us each week to Gods
mouse for strength and help to go
bravely on lifc's way. The sight of
those present and the thought of those
absent enable us to realize with re-
vtv:dness and power that happi-
est OF all doctrines to those who will
receive it-that VIC arc all knit together
in ono communion and fellowship in
the mystical body of Christ, our Lord:
that those who arc living TO Him here
and those who have died in Him are
still one; that the more are resting
from their lahors, and we. the remnant,
are still struggling on. We have the
assurance that we have but to hold
on in faith and patience, in self-denial
ana love, and we. too, shall reach 1.-The
refuge" from the storms. the sure
dwelling place, the resting place Of
Paradise. in the city of the living God.
We people of this Christian land have
so much to be thankful for-we. who
have our churches in which to learn of
and commemorate Gods mercy to us.
Think of the multltudes that are with
u any places Of worship! If we read
the closing chapters of the First Book
OF Chronicles It will do our hearts
good TO note the spirit which animated
the generation for which the first tenn
pie was built. Ii ever men had their
hearts in their work, they had. The
mind grows bewildered at the very
many materials which were accumu-
lated for the erection Of this most
glorious shrine to the Almighty. David
had to ask but the simple question of
our text, and the treasures were over
lowing. The people rejoiced, for that
they offered willingly, because with
perfect heart they offered willingly to
the Lord"
With perfect heart" Therein lay
the secret What was done was done
with the whole heart-no reserve. All
was for God. even all that they had.
and il was offered with the feeling that
al wss too little, There is the same
urgent call to-day on every one of us
to coHsecrste our service this day unto
the Lord. And though II may chance
that Of silver and gold we have none,
of such as we have we can and must
give unto Thee" Let each Of us try
to give the best we have to offer. What

LAND OWNERSHIP
LAWS Of JAPAN

Land in Japan can he owned out
right Only by Japanese subj or by
foreigners whose governments permit
ownership. However, if foreigners in
Japan form a company wholly under
japanese laws, that company may hold
land in the company'S right. Should
a company be formed working by vir-
tue of State laws, it can not hold land
in Japan in its own right. An indiv-
idual or company can, however, lease
land from a Japanese individual or
company for a term of years. The land
tax is large, ranging from five to
seventeen per cent Of the value stated
in title deeds, but owing to the gen
eral low valuation, as shown in title
deeds, this does not amount to as
much as it might be thought. Unim-
proved land ranges from five to fif-
teen yen per tsubo ($249 to $7.47 per
thirty-siX square feet in good manu-
factuEing districts between Yokohama
and Toxic, and improvement draining
and raising or lowering to track level
in this locality amounts to thre, or
four yen ($1.49 to $199) per tsubo in
addition. A landowner in Japan owns
the surface and products of the sur
face of the land only; all minerals
under the surface appertain, not to
him, but to the Japanese government.
Moreover, should the government or
its nominee wish to extract the min
erals lying under a landowners prop
erty, the latter, though he would, of
course, receive compensation for loss,
can not object on legal ground to the
entail Review.

Baldwin, Kas., the home of Baker
University, the big Methodist school
of the West, is in a class all by itself.
There is no other town in the State
like it.
Religion forms the warp and wool
not only of the college and its attaches
and students, but of the business in
terests as we'll Talk with the Bald
win banker, barber, druggist or livery
man for five minutes and he will say
something about the religious spirit
that pervades the townsite. And he
speaks of it in a friendly way, too. He
seems to take a great pride in it. The
spirit of the people is so entirely diff
feFent from that of the other towns
that it is very noticeable as well as
refreshing.
Once upon a time Baldwin had a
commercial club, run on the same lines
as such clubs are run in other towns.
1t failed of its purpose. The business
men say it was due to the lack of true
baldwin spirit, which being interpreted
means that it lacked the thread Of
religion in its fabric.
Another club has now arisen on the
ashes of the commercial club and it is
accomplishing all sorts of things in
