PROTEST SPREAD * OF CONMONISH Deputations Take Matter Before New South Wales Gov't. Sydney, N. S. W.-- Deputations have been protesting to the New South Wales government against the alleged spread of communistic teaching in the state. : It is charged that many teachers in New South Wales have shown communist sympathies and have op- enly taught the doctrines of com- munism. Members of the protest- ing delegations . have cited cases where the red flag has been hoist- ed over schools in New South Wales, where, honor rolls have been pasted over with Red literature, and where teachers had admitted receiv- ing communist pamphlets. Stern measures to prevent the distribution of Communist . litera- ture have been asked of the gov- ernment, and an investigation has heen promised by William Davies, minister of education. The government has been re- ted to suppress "th. anti-moral, anti-religious, anti-patriotic move- ments wthin the services of the state" and to make it compulsory for children to salute the flag, At wresent the salute to the flag is op- tional in most schools; but this is not satisfactory fo those who have bee.. complaining of a growing lex- itv and the rise of communism. "Personally 1 do not think you are goifig to make anyone patriotic by compelling him to salute the flag," said Mr. Davies.

The increase in the tariff, it is armed, will simply result in an in- crease in commodity prices, there- by inflicting a heavier burden on the public.

Is Being Resumed by Merchants Tokio, Japan. -- China's boycott movement against Japanese goods, which has been in progress for the greater part of four months, ex- pecially in central China, is begin- ning to ease up. The consumers are showing signs of being incon- venienced by the higher prices caused by this artificial restriction on trade and the merchants are los- in" money. Leading Chinese merchants in Shanghai have started a drive against the _Anti-Japanese Society, as t'-y are hard pressed for funds. The Shanghai Municipal Bureau, under pressure from the trading community is said to be taking mea- sures to control the boycotters. Deals in Japanese goods through foreign merchants have been re- sumed in earnest, Moreover, the Paris meeting of the League Coun- cil is directin~ attention to the situ- ation and the attacks are less vin- dictive, according to reports receiv ed here. oh ir ik The Manchurian situation has hurt the Chinese as well as the Japanese. Market value. of Chinese bonds outstanding, for example, has dropred 000 yuan, Yangtae flood damdges and the poor silk crop have pinched China financial ly. Chinese bank notes are being regarded as dangerous and are be- ira converted into cash as quickly as received by foreign banks. NEW PLAN FOR CHURCH UNION TOBE ADVOCATED Autonomous Body in Com- munion With Anglican Church Is Proposed London.--A joint committee of lication in the Vatican Illustration. the Canterbury convocation will shortly present a report to Convo- cation stating that many Noncon- formist clergymen who value the Faith and Order of the Church of England cannot accept some of the restraints imposed. The report outlines a scheme for establishing a fully organized church, including ministers and Nonconformist congregations, as an autonomous body in communion with the Church of England, Its ministers would be episcopally ordained but would be governed by their own episcopate and free of any connection with the state, They would nevertheless be bound by the compact regarding doctrine and dis- cipline with the rch of England in other respects and would be free to settle rules on Church order, worship and the terms of inter-com- munion. Acceptance of the Nicene Creed and Apostles Creed would be doctrinal ass. The committee was almost evenly divided ng f ther investigation. Some objections raised against the scheme are that it establishes a new denomination, that Sonsecration of Jonconformist ishops is illegal by Bishops, of England Sees, though not %0 \by Scottish or Welsh bishops, and also that it would cause ance,' { -------------------- "An itinerant coflector of ofd iron long wag trundling his barrow 2 a very narrow road.

Golden Text: 1 Timothy bl : 16ec. The story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well that we study to-day is one of the most charming stories to be found anywhere in literature, and is al- 0 one of the finest illustrations of the wonderful gkill that Jesus had in winning His way with peo- ple. Any teacher might spend hours in a study of this lesson as one of the most perfect examples of effective work in his field. It is to be noted that in form this story is quite similar to one we studied last week about Nico- demus coming to Jesus. In both cases a truth is stated and taken up in a crude materialistic way which gives occasion for a fuller explanation and elucidation of the deep spiritual nature intend- ed to be conveyed. The incidents of the story are very familiar, In speaking to the woman at all Jesus broke through barriers of race prejudice and re- ligious separatism in a quite re- markable and altogether unex- pected way, The Samaritans were a mixed race, thoroughly despis- ed by the Jews, and they general- ly returmed that spirit with inter- est. Years had developed a whole tribe of bitternesses and hatreds and the Jews knew how to be thoroughly disagreeable toward those whom they despised, not as outsiders, but as unorthodox and | bastard worshippers of their own God. Jewish hatred has passed into a proverb, and it never has shown itself in history In a worse or more objectionable form than in its attitude toward the Samarl- tans at this time. That Jesus rose above all that and met this Sam- aritan in chivalrous and kindly mood quite upset His little group of followers. Thére wasn't one of them could have done what He did, and there probably was not one of them that was not at first thoroughly displeased with Him for doing It. But we find it not go difficult to understand them when we think of some things that have happened even in our own en- lightened times. In all history there has never been bitterness more bitter. than that which has been stirred up in the name of re. ligion, The truth which Jesus attempt- ed to give the woman, and which for a moment she had difficulty in understanding, was after all, sim- ple and easily understood when once prejudice and crude mater- falistic ideas are laiq aside. Re- ligion is a vital and vitalizing thing in a man's soul, a constant and abiding source of joy and comfort and vigorous life. That probably was quite a new thought to her, who had hitherto thought of her religion in terms of form and ceremony and sacred places and official sanctions. It is true that religion before Jesus' time had sometimes been thought of as experience, yet He was the first of all the great teachers who set it forth as essentially and funda- mentally a thing in a man's own ksoul, a something that lived with him, manifesting itself in life be- cause it was itself a source of liv- ing and vitdl energy. That so many of us have not yet come to a realizatfon of that fact tells the story of why religion go often counts for so little. We mustn't miss this one item in the story that we study to-day. ed out of our littleness into some- thing at least of the breadth of vision and strength of purpose of those with whom we have been communing. The great road to character and influence and hap- piness is the contagion of great lives and the sharing of their vig ions. The Bible holds its supreme place as a factor in the building of character just because it brings us into contact with the most sig- nificant personalities in human higtory." .

SATURDAY "Wonderful things can be done with odds and ends of time. . In one of the old cathedrals of Eur- ope there is a window with a curi- oug history. The master crafts- man had run short of glass for his last window and an appren- tice boy volunteered to compose the window out of the fragments thrown away. It is a suggestive story for the beginning of the year. There are few of us who might not improve the careful use of time." doth The woman with whom Jesus talked was no better than she ought to have been, as was dis- covered during the interview. Whether Jesus knew all that or whether He skilfully drew it out of her we cannot be sure. But His chivalrous attitude toward her and her anything but wor- thy past must not be overlooked. There are no bitter invectives, no harping upon her sin, no effort to humiliate her and wring from her any lurid confession of guilt. He treated her handsomely and left it quite with her own conscl- ence to make any revelation of her sin and fault. And who would say that that is not always the better and the surer way of bringing home convictions and calling out contrition and confes- s'on ! It is really remarkahlo how blind Jesus was to the sing and the weaknesses of those about Him, and we cannot believe that it was because He thought it did not matter. He had a sure instinct in such matters: we may Le very sure of that, The Tokyo Nichi Nichi news- paper fssues over one million coples daily, Its sister paper in Osaka, the Mainichi, belonging to the same company is still larg- er. Perhaps there are no news- circulation than these two great dailies.

The following are extracts from Mr, Motoyama's speech: "In studying the progress of social welfare work since the Meiji Restoration, one is struck by the outstanding proof of the great debt owed to the foreign miesionaries, whose generous de- votion and Suidance has played an important part in the devel- opment of this work, Their ef- forts were particularly prominent {rom the beginning of the Meijl era until about 1887; medical re- lief, the care of orphans and pri- son reform and temperance move- ments being promoted chiefly by the * missionaries.

Along with the changing ccnditions social welfare 'work has come to receive serious at- tention and has thus attained its orerent high ideals. There are now some five thousand official and private social welfare institu~ tions in Japan, requiring an ag- gregate sum of from Yen 70,000,~ 000 to Yen 80,000,000 per year. It may be truly said that social welfare work has assumed an im- portant position in the social or- ganization of this country, Dur- ing the sixty long years just past the foreign missionaries have con- tinuously maintained untiring la- bor in all phases of social welfare work. More than that, they have risked their health, indeed their lives, in helping the victims of tuberculosis and leprosy, some- thing that even the countrymen of these unfortunates had not at- tempted on a large scale. Among them there have been many who have died while still striving to advance the welfare of those about them. 6K Campaigns to fur- ther social education and to bet- ter living conditions of the poor, as well as other similar work, Lave always been headed by these missionaries, It has been with the most profound sense of grati- tude that we have watched their self-sacrificing toil, materially contributing toward a better and happier life among our people. They have come far from their nafive countries to offer their best for the improvement of so- clal conditions, manifesting 'a spirit ot sacrifice that has left us abashed , . . this must be due to naught else but their burning love of humanity, fostered by immaculate character; of this I am convinced. Our Government has on many occasions expressed its appreciation of their noble deeds. It should not, however, be left to the Government alone to fulfill this duty. We others should voice our own apprecia- tion. It is gratifying to observe that the people are awaking to a realization of this." After the reception a banquet was served and this again follow- ed by an entertainment, . Even foreigners accustomed to see the Japanese entertain guests were surprised at the elaborate prepar- eticns made on this occasion. At any rate it was a great tribute to Christian missions and fully substantiates the estimate of the value of missions made by the "I'ruits of Christian Missions in Japan." / P. G. Price. Rev. Geo.
