japanbsb statement ON CHRTS
TIANiTY,
Baron Maejima, an ex-Cabinet
Mimster of Japan, says of Chris
tianity: 4 4 No matter how have, large an j
army or navy we may un
less we have righteousness at the
foundation of our national exist
ence we shall fall short of success.
I do not hesitate to say that we
must rely upon religion for our
highest ’welfare. And when I
look about me to see upon what
religion we may best rely, I am
convinced that the religion of
Christ is the one most full of
strength and promise Watanabe, for the na- j
tion. Viscount a
prominent statesman Christians and against a Budd-J the
hist, warns
idea that Christianity must
be eet the needs of
Japan. One reason for the de
terioration of Buddhism, he says
has been its modification to suit
Japanese ideas. His conclusion
is a striking testimony to the re
ligious decay of his own faith:
“1 do not say that Buddhism is 1
not a religion, but when I ask
myself how many modern Budd
hists there are that have religious
life in theiy souls, I, answer,

THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH.
The Church must grope her
way into the alleys and courts and
purlieus of the city, and up the
broken staircase, and into the
bare room, and beside the loath
some sufferer; shfe must go down
...to the pit witt the miner, »> t0
the forecastle with the sailor ,
into the shop with the mechanic,
into the factory with the opera
tive, into the field witlf the farm
er » into the counting room with
the merchant. Like the air, the
Church must press equally on
surfaces of society: like the sea,
How into every nook of the shore
‘...sot humanity; and, like the
8 u n, shine on things foul and low
well as fair and high, for she
whs organized, com$nissioned, and
equipped for the moral renova
tien of the world.—Bishop Simp

Jay Gould's Pluck. I
Jay Gould, son of George J.
Gould, who is spending the sum
mer at their mountain home
near Arkville, N. Y., drove to
that town for the mail the oth
e r morning and was standing in
front of the postoffice when one
Q f hi s horses caught the bridle
under the neck yoke and tore it
off its head. The animal jump
ed, and soon both the horses
were galloping away at full
speed, says the New York
World.
Mr. Gould tried to hold them
and was having some effect on
bridled one when he neared
railroud crossing and saw
unless he let them go he
would be dashed into a moving
train, He let them
have their heads, and the horses
ot acrosg trac ^ a ^ ea( j 0 f
the train> Then ensued a wild
ride along the narrow country
road for three miles.
Young Gould sat in the sway
ing wagon and guided the
horses safely along a most diffi
cult road. He crossed two nar
row C0V ered bridges, passing a
wagon in one and turned a corn
er with a fiftv foot embankment
«/
the lowei side.
The team was stopped at
Margaretville with the assist
ance of G. Federa,a Kentuckian,
who jumped from his horse and
caught the runaways. Mr.
Gould was trembling from the
exertion and excitement, but re
tained his nerve and fixing the
bridle drove back over the road
a f ew minutes before held
death for him at every turn. He
received an ovation from people
along the way, who admired his
pluck and skillful driving.
Taken With Cramps.
Wm. Kirmse, a member of the
bridge gang working near Little
port was taken suddenly ill Thurs
day night with cramps and a kind
of cholera. His case was so se
vere that he had to have the mem
bers of the crew wait upon him
and Mr. Clifford was called and
consulted. He told them he had a
