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, None 1 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.
