Denniston pastor of the First Methodist church of this city and read by him at the close of the Sunday morning ser- vices: The Old Year goes. So let him go! The New Year comes. We hardly know The change, so peaceful and so low, And unsought, too; but be it so. Tho grief and sighs and sobs and tears Have mingled, years, Now let him die! And die our fears! We’ll woo the hopes of coming years. in the fleeting We bid good-bye the year that’s gone And turn to greet the one to come; So let us bid good-bye to wrong And fill with good the newer one. The Old Year bears the rusty The Old Year carries all grief; The New Year brings to all relief, And bears the blossom and the sheaf, leaf, hearts’ The New Year heaps the harvest bins, And dares fulfil what Hope be- gins, To give to Right the strength that wins, To leave the world with fewer sins. The New Year comes! So let him give Us purer thought, by which to live, And greater courage in the strife, And higher purposes in life. And fairer skies, with clever blue, And stronger minds to plan and do, And fewer days that we shall rue, And hearts more noble, kind and true. Wanted Relatives Address.

Half a century ago. in the ancient eity of Yeddo. was born a child whose birthday marked the beginning of the greatest epoch in the history of Japan, This child was Shimeta Neesima. the son of a man of the samurai class, one of the aristocrats of old Japan, & retainer of a great prince. He was born to high privileges, and the joy of his parents at the coming of an heir was unbounded. Japan at this time was entirely pa- gan. Her gates were closed to for- elgners, and signboards throughout the empire bore decrees against Christian- | ity. Reading the Bible was one of the three crimes punishable with crucifix- fon. The Neeslmas were idolaters; and they taught their little son' to worship the array of ugly images which adorn- ed their home. But Shimeta was a lad of keen Intellect and sturdy common sense. He soon began to lose faith in gods of wood and stone and after he was sixteen would no longer join in the family worship. One day in the li- brary of a friend he had found an abridged copy of the Bible printed in Chinese characters. From that time his great desire was to learn more of the God who was worshiped in the west. He had begun also to realize the benighted state of his country in other things than in religion. The vis- it of Commodore Perry had opened his eyes to the wonders of western civilization, and his young heart was stirred with longing to serve his coun- try in some better way than his sword bearing ancestors- had done. He had a history of tlie United States, ptinted, ke his little Bible, in Chinese, and this he studied assiduously. With great difficulty he obtained from his parents :permission to go to | Hakodate, an open port, where he hoped to find an English or American teacher who would unfold to him the world of learning of which he had had but a glimpse. Arrlying at Hakodate, he was doomed to df$appointment. No teacher was there. Then he deter- mined to make his way to Amerlca. I # ¢~ OME to me, my dolly, dear.

Then next year, dear Dolly Dent, You and I won't have to ‘pent,” The tigid laws against emigrafion Were still in force, and the undertaking was fraught with danger. But finally he succeeded in making his escape and boarded at night an American schoon- er bound for Shanghal. The Japanese officials searched the vessel the next morning, but the captain hid Shimeta in his cabin. At Shanghai he was forced to wait for many days until the captain of the ‘Wild Rover, a Boston ship, offered to let him work his passage to America. ‘While in Shanghai he had obtained his first great desire, an English Bible, for which he had traded one of his swords. The kind hearted captain of the Wild Rover became interested in the boy, dressed him in American clothes and taught him English. The ‘Wild Rover spent several months in trading at oriental ports, and it was not until a year had passed that Shi- meta landed in Boston. Much of the time during the long voyage Shimeta had sperit in reading his English Bible. It so happened that the Wild Rover belonged to Alpheus Hardy, one of the merchant princes of Boston and a famous philanthropist. When he was a young man, studying at Andover, Mr. Hardy’s ambition had been to en- ter the ministry. His health had failed, and he was forced to leave school. That he could not become a minister was a cross which almost broke his spirit until it was shown to him that he could serve Christ in other ways than by preaching. and be had Jedicated 13 1ffs to Finaking monsy for God.” When he learned from the captain of the Wild Rover of the Japanese youth who had come so far to find the truth, he saw that here was a great opportunity, and he sent for Shimeta. So deeply moved was he by Shimeta’s story that he took him into his family and sent him to Andover to be prepared for mission work in Japan. At Andover the young Japa- nese noble was fully converted to the Caristian faith, made public profession and was baptized with the name Jo- seph Hardy Neesima, In 1874 he returned to Japan under the auspices of the American board of ons. During his ten years' absence many changes had taken place in Japan. The country was now open to foreigners and western civilization was being rapidly introduced. Nee- sima’s scholarship and familiarity with American institutions gave him great Influence, and he was soon one of the foremost men of the nation. He was repeatedly urged to take high office under the government, but he had devoted himself to the cause of Christian education, and he knew that he could better serve his country in that field than in the field of politics. His success, which included the found- ing of the great Doshisha university, was wonderful, and after fifteen years of distinguished service for God and his native land he passed to his re- ward on Jan. 23, 1890, mourned by the people of Japan as no other private citizen had ever been.
