JAPAN AS A MISSION FIELD.

A Pessimistic View.

The Catholic Truth Society of England and its sister organizations in this country. says the Literary Digest (New York), recently published a pamphlet containing tinely and interesting information concern. ing religion in Japan. Tho pamphlet is from the pen of Father Casartelli, a well known Italian priest, whose information has been obtained at first hand. His views are somewhat at variance with the opinion that the new Japan furnishes a promising field for Christian proselyting. The Italian missionary psserts that unbelief and a spirit of atheism have followed in the wake of Western, aferial progress, and says that the original naïveté of the Japanese whicli predisposed them in favor of the Christian tonots has largely dis-, appeared. The most popular book of the day is an avowed anti-Christian work by Professor Inoue Tetsujiro, of the Imperial University, who had studied at the Un- iversity of Berlin. This book, written in an attractive, almost irresistible" stylé, has had an immense succoss. It endeavours

It asserts that Christianity is anti-Japanese and that the true religion of Japan is patriotism. An answer to this work by a Christian missionary, Mr Ligneul, lins been suppressed by the government

Referring to the amazing changes that have been brought about in recent years in Japan, Father Casartelli says:

"Unfortunately this civilization thus suddenly thrust upon the Japanese people is of a purely materialistic nature. As is the case in India, European éducation, the spirit of corrosive criticismi, has shattered belief in the ancient religions of the country, whose puerilities and superstitions have become only too apparent to more 580 tened minds, and there has been substi

tuted no form of religious belief in their place. The result is a blank scepticism, a purely negative rationalism.”-

Father Casartelli describes the early

wiped out of existence in the 17th century by the twenty years of ferocious persecution which followed the edict for the extirpation. of Christianity, issued in 1614. The last bishop of the ancient church of Japan, the 424 writer tells us, was burnt alive în 1624, After this era of persecution and martyr- dom, a silence of death" settled down upon Christianity in Japan. The one million, eight hundred thousand converts," writes Father Casartelli, had become extinct. His figures for the four dioceses. in Japan to-day show over 50,000 Romani Catholic, communicants.

midable than the fire and sword of the persecutor. The bishops' reports are full of these perils. The Archbishop of Tokyo enumerates four agencies at work, which impede the advance of Catholicity the active hostility of the bonzes, the antag onism of the sects, political agitation and the growing dislike of foreigners, and. chiefly the anti-Catholic press."

Claudius Ferrand, a Catholic, missionary in Tokyo, discusses the same topic in The Ecclesiastical Review (Philadelphin) for 428 January. He adinita that public opinion in Japan is adverse to Catholic thought and antagonistic to the doctrine of Him who is the central influence of that mental progress which has changed the face of the Western world;" and he alleges that "Protestant propaganda has, without wish- ing or even suspecting it, been the occasion, more than any other agency, of throw- ing this country into the fatal current of atheistic rationalism which predominates everywhere among the educated." To the keen intellect of the Japanese, he asserts, Christianity is a kingdom divided against itself. The number of Catholic baptisms, wo are told, is between four and five and thousand every year.

could not be procured, and tonnago may get scarcer yet through threatened quarantine regulations, as Indo-China and Singapore have declared Hongkong a plague infected port.

Under some demand from Saigon for this port, rates have risen to lō and latterly to 16 cents for medium size. Saigon to Phi- lippines demand for very small size has not been met, a boat of 23,000 piculs obtained,

it is believed, slightly better than 31 cents.

Saigon to Java, an enquiry could not be responded to.

Bankok to this port, there is room for light draft outsiders on "liners-terms," on basis of 80/23 cents, and in this direction Chinese have also been entering the market again and fixed two suitablo vessels at 28/21 conte, inside and outside the bar loading respectively.

Chartering from Java remains conspicu. ous by its absence, and prospects are at present for nothing being done for Hong. kong for a month or two more.

For Pulo Laut-Hongkong reqirements, some vessels have been sccurel at cheap freights that were free in Java after a trip down from Saigon and unable to secure Java sugar freight.

From Iloilo to this a boat has been done at 19 cents per picul.

From Newchwang, nothing more appears to have been done in the way of charters whilst the port has so far continued icebound however, navigation appears just to be about open now as, telegrams wore received in town yesterday advising that steamers hd sailed from Chefoo for New. chwang. The tendency on the part of native charterers, as, for as Newchwang-Canton is concerned, is for delaying operations, there is certainly no rush for boats for earliest possible loading dates as in former years, and as matters seem to shape now, as for the bargain for opening rates bet- ween owner and shipper, the latter may have the best of it,

Hongay has had fixtures to Canton at €2.00 per ton and a charter to Shanghai at $2.50.

Moji Hongkong froights remain quiet at about $1.80, with several charters done
