That slogan Ia printed on the edi-

There are many churches in Spar

converts. Right through the stom-

most directly. When chaos reigned
in the restaurants and meals were the
substance of things hoped for, the
churches came forward with the evil

meals at reasonable prices made the
churches like GASES on the desert OF
success.
The people are hospitable. They
have opened their homes to the sol

closed the doors, for something has

Commercial Morals Low In Japan.

China, for long centuries highly
developed nation, has an elaborate
code Of commercial ethics. Japan. on
the other hand, which is nation com.
paratively new to civilization, is not
so scrupulous, says a writer in Sys
TEN. He continues:
"In Japan they say contract is
never a settled thing, whereas in
China It is absolutely binding. The
Japanese admit they have no tradi.
lions in trade, and the average Jap.
anese merchant is firmly convinced
that if he orders goods today, and the
market declines before they arrive, he
does perfectly right to refuse them.
Banks in Japan recognize this trait
in Japanese character. There is. no
such thing as lending money to man
on his personal note"
