Modern Japan Will Become a Powerful Nation of Ma- terialists. Tne Japanese are Britain's alliesv They are also one of the best fight- ing breeds in the whole universe, but from what I saw of them I think that thoy are going to startle the world as it has not been startlel since Mahomet preached his gospel of t!ie sword, and built a world-de- fying power out of a number of reck- less nomadic bands, writes A. G. Hales in the London Daily News. Japan was a nation without a God, a nation that po.ssesscd no real spir- itual ideals. Then the Miikado came, and in place of a priest he gave them a rifle; in place of a temple he gave them a tent. The old gods had long been dunib in the land of Nipr pon; tho temples had ceased to charm the GroAos were no longer sacred. Modern Japan scoffed at these things and yet refused to accept Christian- ity. Material things alone appealed to this people that had leaped like magic from a minor place amongst the nations to a front lank in tho w^orld'B afTairs. All things that spoke for business woke a responsive echo ill their minds. They looked, they saw, they learned, and learned well. America became their business model, Groat Britain their naval model, France and Germany their military model. But none of thoso lands provided them with a model for spititual things. They havo made a religion for themselvesâ€" tho religion of tho rifle â€" as surely as tho men of Islam followed the sword, and they will go far, because the Religion of the Hifie will appeal sooner or -later to the whole yellow world, and possibly to the dark-hued world of India as well. AWAKENING OF THE EAST. Once let that spirit awake in tho East â€" and I believe from, what I .saw, that it is awakening â€" and we shall see an army officered by Japauesa tliat will shake other powers beside Russia to their very foundations. To-day British ships carry nearly ninety per cent, of the trade of the east. In ton years time, a great mil- itary and na\al check comes, ninety per cent, of that trade will be car- ried in Japanese ships, and, what is more ninety per cent, of the manu- factures will bo turne out from Ja- panese and Chinese factories. For behind tho Religion of the Rifle, wliich is the only religion in Japan to-.tay worth noticing, stands tho god of commerce, whom this nation of materialists wor.ship. Seven days a week and every week they work and drill. They havo no Sabbath day, no day of rest. Their idea of a living God is a great Mik- ado, whose i-'ower shall shake the nations. They arc out of touch with us as a people in almost every con- ceivable way. .It was our wealth, and our wealth alone, that made them eager for an alliance with us. The.v want British money to aid them when the pinch comes, and they do not Want anything else. Thoy de- spise our religious profcs.sions be- cause they sa,v that we and all other professedly Christian peoples care for nothing hut power. They point to our navy and ask, if we beliovo in Christianity. Why do wo swoop the seas with ships of war? They point to the legions of (icrmany and" France, and enquire why thoso na- tions stand eternally in arms if thoy arc real t-hiistians. RIFLES. NOT BIBLES. To the Japane.se Christianity is a shadow, not a substance; dead ashes, not a living fire. Thoy ^ave not taken and they will not take tho Bil)le of the civilized world; but tho.v have taken the rifle, and when such a people preach the go.sjiel of the gun they are going to make a deep mark in the world's history. Tlicir vor\- bravorj', their pKysi- cal strength, their indomitable ener- gy, their tireless industry, their •Strict temperance in alcoholic li(iuor8 their unswerving thrift â€" all these things help to make them doubly dangerous, because thoy have no moral check, A nation so full of strenuous vitality, it utterly (Jodloss, must bo a menace to the peace of th« world.
