York, writing in the interest
of the Lawmen's Missionary
/
Movement, has recently writ-
ten a most interesting and in-
structive pamphlet with the
above title.
Apart from the information
it gives, which is so much
needed just now when the
work of the laymen is claming
large a share of attention, it
will inform all who read it of
conditions of which they have
now very cloudy and incorrect
ideas.
A well known writer fifteen
years ago, in discussing the
people and politics of the far
Eavt, said with regard to China
ttyat she was "aloof from our
mutations and unrests, alien
to our achievements and de-
sire,"
A few years later another
writer of wide reputatiou took
up the same theme and hard-
ened it into a fixed principle,
and contended that the Asiatic
races ha d exhausted them-
selves; that their natural cha
racter was permanently set;
that the chasm between the
Asiatic and western races was
unbridgeable, and that the or-
iental peoples ware forever in-
accessible to the transforming
princip'e of western civiliza-
tion.
Mr. Speer, after puting
forth these quottaions, says
we arc today facing a situation
which in every way belies
these hopeless predictions. He
says the oriental world "is
not hardened and fixed; inac
Kfessible to the principles of
Christian civilization, b u t
open at its every door to the
message which we have to de-
liver and the life we have to
give."
This he illustrates by the
evidence of 8000 students
from China, 1000 from Corea,
And approximately 1000 from
of western civilization.
Mr. Speer finds strohg, in-
deed, conclusive, proof of the
great awakening in the de-
mand all over Asia for consti-
tutional government.
The multitudes of orientals
arc seeking the West. More
Chinese have passed out o f
China and are now living i n
othjsr Jauds tbatijthe entire
popn3atxa£ of Canada or Aus-
tralia. The industrial awak-
ning has beeu marvelous, and
it was so because it was neces-
sary. The western manufact-
ures had annihilated many oi
the oriental trades, and they
had to build up new industries
in ore'er. 110 live and keep then
own-markets.
The commercial change has
been immense. In 1S72 tin
entire exports of Japan were
about eight and a half trillion
dollars; in 1907 they were two
hundred and sixteen million
dollars. I11 1872 the exports
of Japau were about thirteen
million dollars; in 1907 about
two hundred and forty-seven
millions.

not a single mile of railroad in

Fusau, ou the extreme south,!
to thejmost nprthe'n pointwith
many bran™ lines. Twelve
years ago there only 300 miles
of railway in China; now there j
ore 3246 miles, with i 6 00'
i mote miles under coustruc- j
, tion, j*
Twelve yeais ago there were
I but two or three—if that
; many—daily papers in China;
now there more than 2 o o . j
Then there was no system of;
posloffices; now there more
then 2000 postoffices, and they
handled in 1906 more than
116,000,000 pieces of mail
matter.
The iutellectual awakening
is very great, and throngs of
Mohemmedan Japanese,
Chinese-and Siamese youths
crowd into the Christian mis-
sions, schools a n d colleges,
and hundreds of Mohamme'
dan girls crowd the mission
schools of Persia and Turkey.
Mr. Speer speaks gratefully
and hopefully of the change
of public sentiment as tegards
Christianity. He quotes
Count Okuma, late prime
minister of Japan, as follows:
''It is a quesjUpn whether
W*1l t Irat .moral fihproij
the resutt-nf th«? nfltny new6
influences to which we have
bceu intellectual and not
moral. The efforts which the
Christians arc making to sup-
,j.y the country a high stand-
ard of conduct are welcomed
)v all right-thinking people.
As you read the Bible you
think it antiquated, out o f
date. The words which it
con tains may so appear, but
the noble life which it holds
up to admiration is something
that will never be out of date,
uowever much the world may
progress. Live and preaco
his life (he was speaking to
young men of Japan) and hyu
will supply to the nation just
what it needs at the present
time."
Twenty years ago Marquis
Ito anuounced that he had no
use for any kiud of religou, as
ill of them were superstitious.
Just the other day he spoke at
.1 banquet given him iu con.
nection with the erection of
the Y. M. C . A. building in
Corea, and said he not only
believed religion to bb essen-
tial as an adequate basis of
any which was essential foi
to the national life.
These expressions indicate
a remarkable change ju senti
ment toward the Christian re-
lUbion and are of interest to
a'.l the western nations, be-
cause with the development of
western products—and Chris-
tianity and civilization are
convertible terms—and to put

i here is no more important
c.'iice within the gift of the peo-
ple than that of legislative rep-
resentative, and the people
should not vote blindly for any
man for this important office.
His ideas should be well known
and duly considered, and no
man who is not friendly to
the best advancement of the
tate should receive a commis-
sion to fill such an office. Our
personal likes or dislikes are of
no consequence in this matter,
jut the man and his principle*
should be the only considera-
tion. As far as * the Herald j
oncerned the man to get our

sonal life, must advocate those
