BuDDHA IN PLACE OF GOD
Eastern Leaders Shrewd Attempt to
Stem the Onward March OF Chris
tianity in East.

Yamanaka was strong Buddhist
and leader in the movement to re-
vive and reform Buddhism and estab-
fish it as bulwark against the rapid
encroachment of Christianity.
He decided an excellent way to do
this was to found school for girls
which would be more attractive than
the Christian women's. So he erected
fine buildings and installed modern
methods. He hired good teachers. All
the paraphernalia of the best western
schools was taken over. In fact, the
curriculum was about as close as 1t
could be to that of the Christian school
not far away. Buddhism was a prom
inent feature of the institution-not
the old-fashioned Buddhism, but the
new form which has borrowed from
Christianity, even down to the Sunday
school hymns. The girls were taught
to sing the famous old Christian
hymns with only the word Buddha sub
stituted for that of Christ.

G. n. Murphy relates the story Of
Philadelphia lawyer, retired, who, in
the days of his active practice, was
notorious for his long-windedness.
On one occasion he had been spout
ing forth his concluding argument for
six hours, and the end was nowhere
in sight, when the opposing attorney
beckoned his associate and whispered !:
''Can't you stop him, Jack?"
"I1l stop him in two minutes" Jack
replied confidently. And he wrote
and passed to the orator the following
note:
my Dear Colonel-As soon as you
finish your magnificent argument ]
would like you to join me at the no
tel in bumper of rare old Bourbon .
The lawyer halted in the midst of
an impassioned period, put on his
glasses, and read the note that had
been handed him, then he removed his
glasses again and, taking up his hat
and bag, he said:
"And now, may it please the court
and gentlemen Of the jury, leave the
case with you"
A minute later he was proceeding in
stately fashion in the direction of the
hotel bar.
