seven centuries before Ohrist-J-2500 years from
the pres'ent era. There has been but one reign

They have had written laws for 1500 years.

The speaker was located at Yokohama, and
there learned the Japanese language. ! The peo

but ask all - manner of questions con- -cejbing

Their knowledge of lthe outer world' is" also as
tonishiug. The history of Washington is well
known, and his memory is revered by them.
Whenever the Governor of a province goes
out lie is attended by a body-guard of armed
men, who are in turn well watched by others.
He visited the missionaries
on their arrival and
desired to know what they
not see. what men wished

money, and his curiosity was great to see what
ever the ministers had-brought with them from
America. - The piano excited great admiration.
Chinese books were particularly inquired after,
and a Bible printed in the Chinese language be
ing shown the Governor, he doclarod them to bs
Keman Catholicaj who were driven out of that
country longego; A contiuual visiting wss
kept up for the purpose of spying out what the
missionaries were dtng. Finally tlie Governor
desired that young men connected with the cus
tom (house Should be -taught the English lan
guage : but a soldier was "constantly present to
see. that they did not teach Christianity. The
guard could not of course, speak a word of Kng

men eame to get Ilible primiers ; when next seen
they had carefully obliterated the, word 'Chris
tianity." Their heads would have'paid the for

the very name of Christianity is a terror to them.
No one can buy, sell, or even! live, if he is known
to have "anything to do with it. . j .
t last, the missionaries were permitted to
teach what J.bey preached. ! Some hundred of
them have been taught, and a few of them are
of noble-families and heads of departments; so
Christianity is getting a foothold in the high
places. The country is divided into sections,
