to erect a church in every center Of
Baptist work
THE people Of Japan are ready to
listen 10 the gospel" a recent report of
the field survey committee of the
Northern Baptist Convention says.
"Their faith in the old religions is
broken. But the gospel must be pre-
sented to them by men of their own
race who are competent to present it
in strong, intelligent way. We must
have thoroughly trained Japanese lead
ers and pastors who can command at
tention."
Careful consideration is being given
the housing of the Christian church in
Japan so as to win the respect Of the
people. "A rented store in side street
does not command the respect Of the
Japanese any more than it does of the
Italians in New York." the report
states. "Our fine institutional church
building, the Tabernacle in Tokyo,
ought to be duplicated at every impor-
tant center, and attractive, dignified
houses of worship should be erected at
every other point"
The Baptists are endeavOring so far
as possible to develop complete inde-
pendence Of the Japanese churches, un-
der their own leaders.

TO ENCOURAGE
GOLD PRODUCTION

Washington, April 6.-An excise
tax Of ten dollars an ounce on the
sale of all articles containing gold has
been proposed in bill introduced in
the House by Representative Louis T.
McFadden of Pennsylvania. Gold
used for monetary purposes is except
ed. The purpose of the bill is to
maintain the domestic production in
sufficient quantity to satisfy manufac,
turing requirements. From fund
created by the excise tax all produc-
ers would receive ten dollars premium
for every new-produced ounce. "Since
this transaction is confined to the pro-
duction and sale of gold as a commo-
dity only, and without reference tc
its monetary use it cannot influence
the monetary status of the metal,
said Mr.. McFadden. "By this means
the jewelers. and other consumers OF
gold will be able to obtain all the gol6
that they require at the usual price
of S2O.67 an ounce. The excise is tc
be collected only upon the manufac.
tured article as sold and not upon the
bullion, which insures free gold mar.
ket in the United States" The tau
would be effective on and after May
1, 1920.
