 Japai. Q Heather Nation
 The impression that is in- creasingly borne in upon the visitor in Japan is that, not withStanding her brilliant military, industrial and intel lectual advancement, Japan is still a heathen nation. In a report of the commission from the Christian church, who recently visited this mis- Sicn field there is this Signifi- cant statement:
 The masses, with their 495, ,000 temples and Shrines, are steeped in superstition and heathenism. In no land the commission visited did we see the temples in such perfect repair or the eraser forms of idolatory so active. In the heart of the nations capital, in strange contrast to the surrounding progress, is the most frequented heathen temple in the world, with it's daily throngS of from five to ten thousand W0rshippers en- gagged in the most revoitlng forms of idolatory-worship- perS proStrate before scores of dumb idols, multitudes Of sick rubbing the wooden god in the vain hope 0f.relief, the prayer f0rmulae tied 10 the screens in front of the gods or thrown as paper wads against the idol, and the long avenues of houses Of Prosti- tuition on temple grounds. And, substantially what we saw on a corresponding scale in every city and town we visited. The god-shelf is still q permanent bit of furniture in the average Japanese household.
 Moreover, there has been a revival of Buddhism in re- cent years. In order to in- crease it's efficiency, active

and missionary Buddhism is adopting the Christian meth odS of propaganda, with Bud dhiSt Sunday schools, Young Mems Buddhist associations, Buddhist evangeliStic meet ingS. In Ping Yang, Korea, we saw a perfectly new Bud dhiSt temple, erected for the purpose of propagating Bud dhism in this dependency of the empire, where Christiani- ty has made such remarkable progress.
 Revival of ConfucianisEn
 Nothing regarding China has called forth more discus sion during the past year than the action of the state with regard to Confucianism. On January 29th, the politi- cal council decreed that the worship of heaven should be restored and be made univer- sal, private citizens as we'll as the president having a right to perform it; the pres ident to perform the cere- mOny as representing the na- ton. On February 8th presidential mandate pre- scribed the worship of Con- fuciuS according to tradition al practice, while another pro- claimed complete religious freedom, and stated that the mandate was not intended tc establish Confucianism as state religion.
 Some missionaries regard these measures with alarm. but many look upon then merely as an attempt on thf part of government to sten the rising tide of lawlessnese and immortality which it yer, rightly regards as connected with the waning influence o religion.
 A revival of Confucianism is unquestionably being en. couraGed to some extent b. the present government. IT. board of education in Peking has ordered all publishers of school books to make more Use of extracts from the Con- Fucian classics and to prin nothing contrary to the spirit of ConfuciuS. Other religion bodies have been anxious. and BuddhiSts, Taoists and M0SlemS are rouSing them selves to active propaganda

One day my two brothers and I were
sitting under the grape arbor. They
put their hands In Tigers mouth, but

bite, not intending to do 1t. This was
my best friend at the time. (Best AMI

He was very nice dog, indeed. He
was n black, shaggy dog, and would
love and play with anybody but negroes.
He was kind even to tho CATS and the
cats wore kind to him.

day went to one OF my friends acIsss

lave we ever stopped and thought
what this quotation really means?
Shouid we stop and realize the serious
ness OF this quotation. in many cases
our lives would amount to more. The
great trouble of the world TODAY Is
lack OF serious thought. Within this
small and apparently insignificant ut
terancc lies a world Of helpfulness and
good II We would only abide by IT,
rs we journey along lifcs rough and
uneven path we so often squander and
waste our time. Many of us think only
of the present and never take n sec
ond thought Of Tomorrow Time Is
the most precious thing in this world.
This world is filled with everything
mat gives ono pleasure. and so often
our hearts are only filled with a de-
sire for pleasure. We spend much of
our time In seeking pleasure, and in
every way we waste and squander our
time.
The question might bo asked by
many. What can I do?" We must
never think that there isn't anything
for MS to do. The smallest thing In the
world, II 1t he helpful, Il acceptable in
heaven. BY performing little things
we may do world of good. We must
work earnestly, and with honest mo-
tivcs in view when we do work If we
do this we shall fail in but few cases.
IT we allow the sun to set on n day
Richmond times-dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1914-current, 1915-02-07

which has been helpful and worthy OF
our life We shall forever feel thankful
that God let us live on that day. The
smallest of us can do something that
is worthy of note In heaven. So often
we hear Of great fcats. and great ac-
complishments. and we are prone to be
discouraged and to give up. We
shouldn't give up. for God intended for
us to fill place in this world. 1t
may be small and apparently insig-
nihcant but 1t is important In Gods
sight.
The story is very different when wc
allow the sun to set on a day wasted
and lost. Those OF us who have Il con-
science feel bad over 1t forever. Our
time has been wasted. 1t is too late.
Wasted time cannot return. After timo
has once passed II has gone forever
Knowing this we should seek TO i'm
prove our time and talent while 1t is
still with us. This may be applied most
ftttingly here in our school. We should
study while we are young
After we become old 1t is too late
We may regret having wasted our
time and talent, but wc cannot recall
time TO improve 1t. Once past II is
gone forever.

Once upon time there was man
named lshkahcma This man was
very much envicd because OF his enor-
| nous wealth, which consisted not only
of houses. lands and jewels. but OF a
small lamp that had the power to
bring good luck TO any one who owned
1t. Now, several attempts had been
made to steal this lamp. but mono had
been successful, as 1t was guarded by
two fierce dragons.
By and by. one, Kilah. IIindoo by
birth, decided to make an attempt at
stealing the lamp. Waiting until
niGhtfall. he set out. carrying with
him a large piece of meat. On reaching
tho cave where the dragons kept watch,
Kilah divided the meat. and having
thrown piece TO each dragon, was
able to continue on into the cave.
After walking for some distance in
the dark Kilah came to an Iron door,
which. as luck would have 1t. was
locked. This difficulty, however, was
soon overcome by tho use of dynamite.
On entering the room he saw table
| In the middle Of the floor. on which
tho wonderful lamp was set.
Kilah delayed not minute, but
snatching the lamp from the table.
made his way to the door OF tho cave.
The dragons gave him no trouble, ms
they had been put to sleep by tho
drug in the meat.
After that Ishkahema had very bad
luck. His family died. and all OF his
Jewels were destroyed by fire. This
| made him think that his lamp must
have lost its power or been stolen,
so he decided to make visit to the
cave. When he reached it and found
his treasure stolen he was so mad with
rage that no drew his sword and killed
himself.
Kilah lived to be an old man, and
was rolling with wealth when he died.

A VISIT TO A sAwMILL.

One summer day friend and I made
n nice trip over to the sawmill. While
we were over there We saw many Won
dcrful things. We saw the men drag
ing the logs. 1t looked very odd 10
us to see them at work at these inn
mensc logs.
We wished to see them fasten the
hooks on the loEchain on the log.
They had n hammer, with which, they
drove the hooks in the log. Then they
would halloo Ready" Here we had
some fun. The big log started Off
down the hill.
Now we are back at the sawmin.
Here is a wonderful scene. The mill
men take their cant hooks and stick
them into the log. In few minutes
the log begins TO turn. Here we SEQ
another change. The log has been
put on skids and rolled upon the car
riaSc.
The next thing we hear is the sing
ing OF the saw. 1t sounds like some
wild beast destroying its prey. The
sawdust Is flying everywhere. Direct
~ we see the sla bs thrown to one side
Then the plank Is taken from the saw
AZ IL Is sawed and put on n small car
When the car is we'll loaded they roll
it up the track and pack 1t up on the
lumber pack.
After staying there awhile we learn
that the logs arc cut in different
lengths and in different sizes. We see
the crosstics coming up the track by
scores. When they reach their desti-
nation they are marked with q ham,
mer with the mans initials on II.
! Then they are packed up separately
from the scantlings and the other
, lumber.
When we had watched the snwmill
as long as we wished, we went over
to the dust pile and stretched out
In the shade. Here we whIlcd away
several dreamy hours
After we had rested an hour or
two IT was time for us to return home
and do the night work. We bid thu
mill men adicu and went on our Jour-
ncy home.
