THE MIRACLE OF JAPANESE
 MISSION IN 50 YEARS

pr. F. Heron Smith, commenting on the miracle of missionary accom-
 plishment in Japan in the last 50
 years, recalls that 1t was in 1873 when the antiChristian edicts in Japan were rescinded and the first missionaries arrived from America Says Dr. Smith: When one thinks of what has been accomplished in these 50 years, he cannot but be amazed. Fifty years ago there were no ordained Japanese ministers; to- day there are 1.23s ordained men and a total of 4,6s2 Japanese Christian workers and 1893 foreign mission aries. Then there was one organ ized church; today there are 2461 organizations. Then there was no church building; today there are s6s protestant churches valued at s2,10o,ooo. Then there was one small mission school; today there were 43,0oo pupils in mission schools all over the empire with property valued at s6,o00, 900 and Japanese aid to the amount Of S267,000 year. Japanese gifts to church work total almost s1,o00,000 year. There are 3,o79 Sunday schools. Fifty years ago Christianity was suspected by Chinda, a graduate of DePauw uni all; today the confidential advisor of the Prince Regent Is viscount versity and former Metho al st preacher"

WORLD REMEDY IN FR|EN NDSHIP SEEN BY ENDEAVORERS
Organization, United, Has World Wide Battle Line,
 Says Clark

DIES MONIES, July 7.-(Associated Press.)-Christian goodwill and friendship, exercised through the in- fluence of the millions of members of the Christian Endeavor societies, is the remedy for an existing war Clark of Boston, founder and presi- dent of the movement, in his key note speech which opened the twenty ninth international Christian Endeav- or convention here this week.
 Delegates in attendance from every state In the union, the provinces of Canada and many foreign lands, vention would be "The Harvest Time Is Here" A Friends of Christ" campaign is to be inaugurated.
 Members of the Christian En- deavor in all lands must band togeth- CT for the promotion of world wide Christian fellowship" said Dr. Clark. There is unbroken unity in our ranks. Some organizations within the first four decades of their eN- istence have lost their early zeal, sott-pedaled thelr Christian purpose, and divided into two or more fac tons. Not so Christian Endeavor. It's activities and methods have multi piled tenfold. but it's fundamental purpose, to train the young for Chris tian service in the church and for the church, never has been altered or overshadowed
 Let it never be forgotten that the creed of an individual Christian En- deavor society is and must be the creed of it's church. The society has no life separate from it's church. It has no doctrinal questions to settle. That is the affair of the mother church. not of the child, which, as compared with it's mother, is but an infant of days. The battle linf, of Christian Endeavor cover North and south America. Europe, Asia, Africa, AustraIasia, the East and West Indies and Polynesia. Attendance at our prayer meetings during the two years since the last international conven- ton aggregated more than 300 mil lions of young men and women"

 zamora Temple baseball team Truman Morrison, manager--make Its bow and has entered the League of Southern Shrine Clubs.
 Each team in the Shrine league Is composed entirely of Shriners, and only scheduled games between the Shrine teams are played.
 This Is one of the activities plan ned for the year by the Pote, other wise Ernest Matthews, and the Pote never overlooks bet that Is in the line of progress and for the general interest of zamora.
 To bring about this end, he called upon Truman Morrison, the efficient chairman of the glad hand commit manage it. either from the bench or in the field.
 With hls characteristic prompt ness and energy, Truman set to work on the project. He got in touch with several ball players in the clubs of the City league who are Shriners, and with these players as q nucleus is building up his machine But he wants the best team obtain able, and is now ready to give any Shriner a "tryout" for a place on the team.
 Manager Merry believes that from a mem bership of over 1000 Zamora temple can secure enough experi- enced ball tossers and bat wielders to put team with a Class Al rat ing in the field. He believes that he can whip into shape team that will cop the pennant in the Shrine league.
 The manager announces that prac tice is being held twice a week at Mortimer Jordan park, Twelfth street and Avenue H, and asks all members of the Shrine who are interested n a n f0 a games. Uniforms will be provided. The practice games are held Tues day and Friday afternoons at 4 o'clock.
 In this connection Sne Pote men toned the fact that he was organiz- ing a baseball team to his friend. w. Bayne Gibson, potentate of Yaarab b temple, Atlanta.
 "Of course. you will be a member of the team" remarked W. Bayne.

 You're on." said the Atlanta Pote with a grin.
 So there you are, and just be- tween us girls 1t Is said that both the potes are trying to get. by wing, wire and wireless. lineup on the other fellows prowess on the base ball diamond. Personally we suspect that the Atlanta Pote Is business manager, or sumpin' like that. Any way, we believe that 1t would be rare fun to see W. Bayne and Ernest M in action on the field.

WHY DIR. STRATON OBJECTED
 TO SPEECH FROM DIR. FAUNCF

Both the church and the daily press carried full accounts of the sensa- tion created at the Northern Baptist convention, recently held at Atlantic City, when Dr. John Roach Straton of New York objected to the deliv- cry by Dr. W. H. P. Faunce of the keynote address" of the convention. It will be rem emb bered that the con- vention did not support Dr. Straton In his contention and that misses and shouts of mo" greeted Dr. Straton's objections. pr. Straton has just pub
 ished a statement with the title: 'Why I objected to Dr. Faunce at Atlantic City," In this statement pr. Straton gives as the fundamental reastn for his objections Dr. Faunce's well known radical and
 revolutionary teachings-teaching which are not only utterly contrary to our Baptist tenets. but subversive of the very fundam entals of the Christian faith" Dr. Straton gives as his specific reasons for the pro- test that: First, "as & Baptist. and as a delegate to the convention, could net maintain my own self-respect, or keep my loyalty to my most cher tiGns. without putting myself on record as being opposed to the ap- pearance of such a man as Dr. Faunce upon our program. Second, I felt lmpelled to do what little one
 individual might do to counteract the effect of pr. Faunce's utterances. Third, I felt impelled to protest against the appearance of Dr. Faunce, because, as Christian and Baptist. my heart has been greatly burdened recently that Brown uni versity, over which pr. Faunce pre- sides as president, Is exemplifying before the world tho truth that this religious radicalism and rationalism always result in a surrender to the spirit of worldliness, and tend strongly to the substitution of a pa gan code of morals for tho Christian code" Dr. Straton includes In his statement a thrust at "the contrGll- ing powers" In the Northern Baptist convention. and asks "Why was 1t that out of all the men of ability, learning and consecrated eloquence in our great brotherhood. this par ticular man was selected at this par ticular time by the denominatoinal machine, which for years has fol- lowed the policy, despite the protest of many earnest souls, of putting upon our convention programs such radicals, and thus endeavoring to cram their revolutionary teachings down our throats?"

PROPHEsIEs A
 DRY GERMANY

Dr. and Mrs Reinhard strecker of Damstadt, Germany, who have been studying the workings of prohibit ton In the United States. predict that Germany will go dry within 10 years. Among the organizations working for prohibition In Germany are the Good Templars and the Arbeiter- Jugend.. The latter is an organiza- tion of young workers who have pledged thepselves to an aggressive drive against the liquor evil in mid de Europe. The younger men of the clergy have become greatly inter ested in the question. and economic pressure Is also being exerted. It is said that the awakening of the public interest in German prohibition indi- cates a much more rapid develop mont in that country than marked the growth of public sentiment in America toward the same issue.

IS THERE A TRAFFIC
 IN SACRAMENTAL WINE

The American Hebrew (New York; deplores the opportunities and sug- gestions that are evidenced in some quarters in the matter of trafftcking In sacramental wines. Under the present laws provisions are made for the purchase by church officers of wine for sacramental uses. An edi- torial says: We are offered an 'ex
 ceptional opportunity to purchase very fine, fully guaranteed, imported wine for sacramental purposes. This offer is made with a lavish hand. We may buy the wine by the cask. The prices quoted carry reasonable dis counts in lots over 800 gallons, for cash without limit as to quantity. If we had the money and the storage room we could supply ourselves for lifetime, and leave some of the fragrant juice behind us to console our mourners. And it would all, no doubt, be within the law. What an unholy mockery! The average amount of wine the most pious may require for sacramental purposes Is about a gallon a year. And here we have one firm ready to sell 1t In casks and in unlimited quantities! What becomes of all this wine? The American Hebrew would gladly see inc severest punishment visited upon those who traffic In wine under the gufse of sacramental purposes.

GREAT NEWSPAPER PAYS HIGH
 TRIBUTE TO POWER OF CHURCH

The press, both religious ana secu- lar, has had much to say in protest ing against the 12-hour day in the steel industry. Judge Gary's report to the American Iron and Steel in stitute has occasioned much comment. The burden of Judge Gary's report seeks to prove that the 12-hour day does no sharm to the workers; that the workers like it; that to abandon it would increase the cost of pro- duction Is per cent; that the number of workers was reduced as far IS possible when labor was plentiful; and that the committee would favor entirely abolishing the 12-hour day if labor and market conditions would permit. A leading religious Journal says that Judge Gary's report Is in line with the plea of the defendant In an Irish lawsuit who was charged with having borrowed a bottle and returned it with hole In the bot tom. The defense attempted to prove: First, that said defendant never bor- rowed a bottle; second, that he re- turned 1t in good condition, and third
 that the hole was already there when he got it. The voice of the church throughout America has said that the 12-hour day and the seven day week must go. The influence of the church in a final decision will be counted one of tho chief factors. The Chi cago Tribune has not always been counted friendly to the church's ideals, and its recent editorial on the church's attitude toward the 12-hour day will be read with genuine inter est: Representatives of 50,000,o0o persons of all religious faiths in America have publicly condemned the recent report of the American Iron and Steel institute which declared the 12-hour day in the steel industry must be continued indefinitely. That con
 demnation must be looked upon by the directing officials of the steel industry as the handwriting on the wall. It dooms the 12-hour day
 whether the industry likes it or not
 It reveals the fact that the social and spiritual leaders of half the resi- dents of the United States are un- alterably opposed to such treatment of labor. That is a force that cannot be brushed aside for the convenience or profit of any industry. It Is a force that has been accommodating strength steadily against the system of turning men into Robots ever since Andrew Carnegie admitted the evil effects of that system. It will continue to gain strength because it is founded upon right and because it seeks justice for society as well as for individual workers. The steel industry may as well recognize the inevitable and act accordingly"
