Japan And Missions. Japan is touching directly or indirectly one nt of the world's population. Two- ple are to be found in Asia. A nation of practical materialists and agnostics has become the dominant factor in Asiatic politics.

By Bishop 'Richardson. For seven or eight years the cost of living has been steadily increasing, while business mien are making more money; laborers, are earning mofe. "Farmers are getting i ices than ever. In almost every direction there is some correspondence between the rate of wages and the cost f living. But the missiomary is living upon the stipend too small ten years ago. 1 do not know how he does it It was said to me recently by a farmer t $700 was a large sum, and ought make the missionary comfortable. But stop and think. It is the mission- ary's only source of income. He is too busy to keep a garden; out of his salary everything must come. He and his family must present a respect- able appearance.

Afterwards it turned out that the Sanger had not given the half- Sovereigu, and the real donor was much shock: A significant incident has arisen in the claim of Japanese Buddhist missionaries near Foochow, China, that they be ac- corded the same political rights that missionaries from Christian nations en- joy. The Chinese government refuses, as there is nothing in its treaty with Japan to warrant this. Furthermore, the Chinese add, they do not want foreigners to teach them Buddhism, which has been one of China's principal religions for hundreds of years. At nightiall, a few months ago, a missionary 6n the Congo River, seeking a place to moor his boat, was startled a chorus of men's voices singing in the native language, "All hail the power of Jesus' name." He found large canoes full of young Africans on a fish- ing excursion, and there were Christians among them with bibles and hymn books. And this is the heart of the Dark Con- tinent!

Sunderland in Grip of Great Re- ligious Revival. The big town of Sunderland, north of England, has been in the grip of a great religious revival. It is not an or< dinary revival, though accompanied by some of the commonplace phases of ex- altation which made a strange figure of Evan Roberts in Wales. There have been groanings and grovellings, visions and tears; laughter aad visions. But there has been something else besides. According to Rev. Alexander A. Bod- dy, vicar of All Saints," Mo1<wearmouth, "More than 20,000 people througnout the world are now so filled with the Holy Ghost that they are speaking in tongues." Of these, Mr. Boddy 'states that about twenty are to be found in his parish. Scores of people there speak of wonder- ful 'cures wherein no mortal physician had part. The vicars own wife is one of them. Young men tell of visions im which the Chnist appeared. Children start up in the parish hall, where the taken home to bed o' night "drunk" with ecstatic joy. Boys and girls, after the strange Pentecostal baptism, start up and sing in sweet, silvery, , unearthly voices. ' There are messages -and manifesta- tions. Old feuds are patched up. The wrong is made right; the sick are made whole--all in 1907, in Sunderland! This on the testimony of Rev. Alexander Boddy, once a solicitor of the High Court, now the evangelistic leader of a mining population. ere is another figure in the strange landscape: the Evan Roberts of the movement, Pastor Bar- ratt. Cornishman, naturalized Norwe- gran, a dreamer if you will, a madman if you like; but the heart and soul of a religious movement before which others le. It is only a short time ago since r. Boddy, having heard of Pentecos- tal phenomena that were shaking the Norwegian churches, went to Christiania and saw such moving religion that he brought Barratt over. The Chief's Crime. Collier's. Much more interesting than most fic- tion was the collision between British law and old Chief Pesequan, otherwise the Fiddler, head of the Susker band of Saiteaux Indians. The old Fiddler did what he saw as duty, but it was not the duty exacted by the civilization in which his people have been forced to live. { squaw was violently insane. Now the Suckers range in the wilderness of northeastern Keewatin. They have no insane asylums. Their custom is to dis- pose of maniacs by strangulation. Ob- viously, persons violently demented can not be allowed to. remain around the camps. The tribe has always acted to- ward them in a spirit as serious as that of any court of law. This Indian peo- ple did what they deemed right. The chief was tried for the latest execution He was found guilty and condemned to death. That there was to be a pardon he did not understand. Seventy years of age, unacquainted with the customs about him, confused, he escaped from his bewilderment by strangling himself. British law acted on rational principles, but the outcome seems a trifie hard on Pesequan. Perhaps his death, however, will lead to rome satisfactory asylum arrangements for the Indians. Was A Centre. It used to be a fancy that the Holy Land was the centre of the world. In a sense not then meant it was indeed cen- tral. It occupied a strategic position. Three continents converge there--all the continents known to the ancients--Asia, Africa and Europe. On one side of it were India, Persia, Assyria and Baby- lonia; on the other were Egypt, Greece and Rome , babe among giants, the land of Jesus was little among the geo- graphical tribes, but, like a babe, it was momarch of the household of lands From its central vantage tiny Palestine saw through the march of centuries the procession of these mighty empires--As- syrian, Babylonian, Medo- Persian, Greek and Roman, being itself during much of the time a hub of influence and deter- miming force that have helped to form the character and history of the civilized world. In the Isle of Thanet, on a narrow strip of eliff fenced in, are two noticed boards side by side. One says: "Please Rip to the path or roadway, as this cliff is dangerous" The other: "This desirable plot of freehold land for sale."
