JAPAN NEED GOSPEL?
The Question Asked and IHscussed
by Prof. James Orr of
Glasgow.
Frof. James Orr, of Olasgow. In a
very striking paper, published in the
Cnited Free Church Magazine, gives
tho two following reasons for this ar-
gument:
1. It is the age of transition. The lapfc
century has seen a revolution there un-
matched in history. For instance in 30
years, out of nothing have come the
universities, with over 300 sjiecial and
2,700 elementary schools, and an ag-
gregate of over 4,355,000 students!
Twenty years ago, Japan had about
10,000 published books, 14 years later
they had multiplied to tbout 500,(?00.-
000! Of course. In such conditions, old
false faiths are swept away, if thera
be nothing to take their place, Japan
Is adrift without even an ethical rud-
der.
2. Japan has failed to develop a t.n*
standard of moral life. The defect is
not one of practice only but of Ideas or
ideals. The benevolence of humane-
ness, ascribed to this people, works
within a very limited area, not Includ-
ing mercy to the Indigent, outcast and
wretched. And oven the philanthropic

Muskogee Phoenix: Cotton mill op-

tho Grand river dam and power plant.
Friday P. B. Bostic received a letter
from D. G. Devenish, secretary and
general manager of the Elk Mountain
Cotton Mill Co., of South Carolina,
inquiring about labor conditions in this
portion of the country, tho price ot
coal and power and detailed informa-
tion along this line. The letter will
probably be referred to the proper
officers of the commercial club.
A piece of advertising literature, got-
ten out by the Commercial club, show-
ing Muskogee's railroad facilities,
freight advantages and an offer ot
power for hve years to the first cot-
ton mill to locate hero, attracted the
attention of this company.
Mr. Dennish is a well known cotton
mill promoter. He promoted what is
probably the largest cotton mill in
South Africa, which is now doing a
sucessful business. Ho was also the
promoter of the company of which ho
is now general manager.
