Japan AN Promising Ficlds—Curions Idea of the Re- Mgious Parlinment. Ex-Secretary John W. Foster appeared last night before a large audience at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, at the invitation of the Weshington city pres- bytery, to talk about his observations in the fleld of foreign missions during his recent trip around the world. Mr. Foster read from a great volume of notes, culling out the most interesting of his memoranda to give his hearers a clear understanding of the situation in the far east. He noted tn turn all of the orfental countries where mis- sion work is being done, and gave some in- teresting statistics concerning the advance of the Christian influence. The growth of the missions among the Moslems, he said, is not great, but steady and encouraging. In the course of time the temporal power of Mohammedanism has been broken down, and little by little the millions of follower of the prophet have been made a the influence of the Chrisilan Church. have no doubt,” sald Mr. Foster, “of the ultimate triumph of the crusade against the Mohammedan church. 1 cannot speak with certainty of the date of that triumph, but it will depend solely upon the zeal of the home church. The speaker's view of the condition of things in India was optimistic, though not beyond the point of reason. In that “cita- del of paganism,” he said, “there is a most wonderful field, where the chances may now seem to be against the Christian influence, but where the work of evangelization will, if continued with persistence, eventually un- dermine the entire social’ and religious structure of the land. This is admitted by the most advanced Hindoo thinkers, who have been endeavoring to arouse @ patriotic feeling to counteract the influence of the Christian church. “My first impression was one of disap- Pointment that vo little had been accom- plished. Few of the admit that any prog’ but more study me to conclude that there is an apparent advance toward the christiantzation of the country. There has been great improve- ment in the moral and social conditions, and there have been some most important reforms that are to be traced directly to the exposures made by the missionaries. If there could not be a single conversion to the church recorded in India for the past cen- tury these reforms alone would amply pay for all that has been expended. tians in India now exceed the nu: those in Rome at the end of the first tury of the Christian era,” Mr. Foster spoke of the price that the common people pay for the adoption of the Christian faith, being thrown from. thelr caste and ostracised. But much has been accomplished through the impartial rule of the British government, which, if not open- y. is secretly in hopes of the christianiza- mn of India. The railroads are slowly but breaking down the caste system, and India is slowly coming to a great social crisis that canrot fail to help her along toward better conditions. At present there is grave danger of the establis! sort of Hindoo Unitarianism—a « without Chris warned his f of falling the deeper hell ofi nfidelity.” Spoke at some length of the small comforts of the missionaries, as contrasted with their discomforts and dangers from the climate and the fatal surroundings, giving a touch- ing instance of the heroism of a young American woman, who has been afflicted With leprosy, who has gone back to her post to die among the doomed people. Passing to China, the sp er sald that there ts the best field for Christian effort, for the barriers are being broken every hand, and the countiess millions of People are now more accessible than ever, He told of attending a series of revival meetings held in north China, wh: enthusiasm was shown by’ the There are the field, whi fertile, can never be over- ercwded by the home church. Ti so fair success to be had in Corea, though at present the war ix hinder- ing the work. But eventually the civil struggle will help the missionary work that is sure to be carried into this country. There is a curious state of things in Japan, where there is some of the best ma- terial for this work to be had in ail the east. Remarkable progress has been made ess had been made, of the real conditions led has atives, ne very advanced schools, and h | by this nation in accepting the ways of the west, except as to religion. Japan ts mak- ing the mistake of accepting the Christianity without taking the that will surely come. Just now ti great revival of native patriotiem, owing to the curious misconstruction that has been put on the recent parliament of relic held at Chicago. The native writers are show that America called this nt because it is dissatisfied with Christianity, and seeks to know what there is in Buddhism. There is even thought of a missionary movement to convert America. But what converts there are in Japan are of the upper class, and there are some of the highest officials to be found in the ranks of the native Y. M.C. A. At one meeting of this association, held in Tokio, there were over twelve hundred native young m present. In conclusion, Mr. Foster spoke of the duty of the home church to give liberally and to support the missions, The average of the Presbyterian Church yearly is only S5 cents per member, while the Quakers give annually about $ each. If this propor- tion were applied to the Presbyterians, that chureh alone would give the board’ over $4,000,000. The sum needed is about $: o0v annually. W= — en TWO GOOD MEALS, But John is Held for Grand Jury on Their Accow Santus Auth, the pork butcher and sau- sage maker, whose home is on the Bla- densburg road, did not keep open house the other night, but he had a caller. His uninvited guest fared ro well that he re- turned three nights ago and repeated his former good time at the expense of Mr. Auth. This time the doors ind windows were closed and fastened, but the caller had 2 sharp knife and he found it an easy task to cut out a slat and open the win- dow Once in the dining room, he was all right, for not being a stranger, he easily locatea the eatables and ’drinkables and set the table. Then he sat down and enjoyed a feast, which would have been relished by Mr. Auth’s family. When he had finished eating he left the house, carrying with him a jug of wine, . botUes of catsup and pro: os enough to last him some time. On the tabie he left a note written on a piece of wrapping pa- per, cz follows: “We come here for spite. We asked fur Don't sumething tue ete and dident git it. refuse the next.
