five thousand, three-fifths of whom are
christians.
The Rev. Mr. Geo. S. McCune of the
Presbyterian church, who was former
ly on the faculty of Coe college, &C.
dar Rapids, Iowa, is at the head of a
boys school here. He is a sensibly
spiritual man, SO tender of heart that
when he showed us to our room in
his home, he bowed to pray that we
might have happy visit together
and yet, one Wha can chase tennis
ball in great glee; man who loves
his work devotedly and who likes a
good dinner-just the same sort who
would be last and least in starting a
national instruction. But the COM
pliers of tragic comedy stage hint
first and foremost, for an initial point
must be found somewhere and this
center of christianity is Ito them)
quite the proper place"
So quietly for months the military
police were at work. They sent for
the hymn book and requested that
Coward Christian Soldiers" should
not be sung. Then they wanted that
other song you sing" which proved to
be Mr.. Hardness "I'm here on bust
ness for my King" This was officially
expurgated. Being law abiding, the
christians complied. The police must
now find an covert act" Evidently
they decide to make it an attempted
assassination" Four times in one
week Mr.. McCune was ordered to
bring his school to the railroad station
about a mile away-to line up for
the passing of greater or less celebri-
ties. With the excitement before and
after, these days were practically
spoiled for study, but the institution
gave absolute obedience. Presently
the governor general is to pass. About
one hour previous to his arrival hur-
ried message is sent for the school
to appear at the depot Most Of the
boys are quickly gathered from their
respective places and hurried Off. Al
forwards, among the criminals" (for
| by Japanese procedure, as some Euro
pean, an arrested man is guilty"
until he proves his innocence) was a
poor, lame boy who could not pos
sibly have walked from the school to
the station in the time allotted.
The authorities direct the pupils
and teachers to line up at the rear,
giving the vantage ground to the gov
eminent and native schools, with the
apparent design of hiding the chris
tians so as to be unnoticed by his ex'
cellency. He, however, on allghtlng,
passed all the Others; and, entirely
unattended, went directly to converse
with Mr.. McCune, standing by his side
several minutes and thanking him
for the honor of his presence and for
the good work of the school. Gwen

This is when he was to be murdered
so say the police-and that the
deed was prevented by their supreme
vigilance" but they never dreamed
that Governor Terauchi would go to
that position and so had placed nc
guards at all in the read. The school
boys" who were charged with Grim
inal intent, could have easily shot the
governor a dozen times over, except
for two good reasons:
/. They had no weapons, and
2. They never had hairs breadth
of desire to do it.
Anyway, think of several hundred
boys with their hands on their hip
pockets" as it were, marching by a
"vigilant" police force all undecided
as they are directed to their place at
