But with these and a few other salient points of comparison all re- semblance ends. The peasantry of Japan, the vast multitude of wage- earners, are untouched. by foreign influence, save that their scale of pay and mode of life have been slightly elevated by unavoidable contact. The women of Japan,even of the middle classes and the nobili- ty, do not don foreign dress on special occasions as the men do, and, in brief, 1tmay be said that women are still wholly SEPTEMBER w T 3. 5} 6 10 12] 13 W7 29 | 20 24 26 | 27 9 16 14 21 23 28 ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE OF TRAINS.

It is in regard to its religious life, however. that Japan still stands furthest aloof from the two nations for which she undoubtedly feels the greatest friendship, England and America. It is true that the ancient Shinto religion has to some extent decayed; but our own observations, taken at close range and in a good light, convince us of the truth of a Trail, Nelson,Crows Nest, faily, includ- «ing ‘Sunday.........

The educa- tional system of the country has undergone marked change and de- -- velopment, and- today” the’ great Imperial university at Tokio and many of the subsidiary and co-ordi- nate institutions,including the naval college, are permeated with foreign ideas and methods of work. The writer heard lectures in the class rooms in Tokio and saw exercises in composition assigned in much the same manner as might be observed in an American or Eurogean class room. This is not to be wondered at when it is considered that Japan has for several years been maintain- ing a small army of students at British and American universities and colleges, and that these young men return. home thoroughly im- bued with the spirit and methods of culture obtained abroad, Christianity asa state religion—a convention like the drees coat—but now I am inclined to sympathize with many of our more thoughtful people who urge that no country can be benefitted by playing fast and loose with religion, and the deeper matters of which they call the soul. “No,” he went en, ‘I do not re- gard Japan’s almost universal athe- ism as a source of danger to the community. Right living is the ever, in our new civilization on which I have long felt great un- easiness, and that is that the les- sons of reverence and duty towards parents and seniors taught so care- fully by Confucianism will be lost. to the rising generation and so they may effectually be a serious source of danger to the community, for no religion is taught at all in our schools.” Mies Edith Miller Concert Compay Of this company the Colonist of Sunday says: ‘‘Miss Miller is an artiste of rare ability. Her voice is rich in quality, of great warmth and beauty of tone. Miss Miller is by long odds the best contralto singer heard here for many years, and is inly a most vo- best creed.
