DR.. Tdkahashi, Of Japan
First Woman Physician Of the
New School in Mikado'S Land.

DR. MidZuko Takahashi, of Nihom-
bashi, who has just retired from ac-
tive practice, was the first woman
physician of the modern school in
Japan. She was born in a samurai
family in Aichi Ken. went to Tokyo
about forty years ago to become
midwife, got a government license
after six years of study and entered
the medical school founded by DR..
Tai Hasegawa, in lIongo.
"Of course, il was no easy matter
tor her to be admitted into that
school in those days" gays the Japan
Times. but her pioneer aspirations
were encouraged by such authorities
as the late Doctors HaSegawa and
Nagayo and Surgeon Baron Sato.
When at last she began her practice

"No Children Wanted"

NE of the most familiar

which is invariably EN-

keeper and the house owner, is No

the house owners on both sides.

HIGHEST CONTEMPLATION.
Christian Advocate Speaks Well Of
Rev. Bennett s Book.

The Christian Advocate of New
York, the foremost journal of the
Methodist Episcopal church, has this
to say about the book issued by the
pastor of our local Methodist church
George HI. Bennett has taken up a
challenge made to the clergymen of
Portland, Oregon, and has published
his answer in a small volume call
ed "The Challenge of the Church,
Rationalism Refuted." The challeng-
ers are the Oregon nationalist socie-
ty, and as they demanded responses
on five points, including the truth of
the bible, the divinity of Christ, the
reasons for the church, and practical
application of the gospel to the lives
of man, the author has followed the
same general outline.
As may be seen at once, the chal-
lengers have practically attacked the
entire structure of religion. The re-
sponse must, therefore, be an entire
system of apologetics. Mr.. Bennett,
who is Methodist pastor in the state
of Oregon, and was formerly pro-
fessor of systematic theology in Port
land University, has verv wisely ans
W cred in a bread and sane way. His
book is not voluminous. and he has
kept the syn )psis of his essay clearly
in view in order to hold himself to
the main questions at issue. As a
brief summary of so broad a field the
book possesses undoubted merit. It
might be commended to those who
wish such an outline of theology as is
here sketehed out

matte and social sessions in addition
to the business Of the meeting which

quire that all schools Of the county be

tute and that the teachers be in at

is valuable and they apply it to the
land, themselves. 1t ism t lost. When

poses and they earn their board many
times over But the cur dog should
