Cholrmastots nnd choirs nie busy rehearsing tho oluburoato pio gramrnes of music which they will en chant to those who uttciul tho servi ces In honor of tho risen Saviour. To morrow Is Palm Sunday nnd is suc ceeded by holy week, tho solemn peilod that markrt the dose of the unison of Llcnt and prepares the way for tho u- Eurroetloii. i Much interesting Information enn cernlnB the growth of ritualism 01, nt least, the wipe adoption of enrichment In the Pieslivtctliiu church, la glv-i n out hv the Picsbjteilan Church Hex vice society. Thlw society was funned two jicnrs ago along the lines of the Church Service Society of S. otland. which h.is foi Its object the beuutllv Ing and clutching of the e.y pi .In service. The nssocintlnn In this conn tr began Its wntk by making n can ass.nf tho churches In 1'eninviv.inin, Now Jcisey. New Yoik and Ne-v dig land, having a membeiship of nnuo than 2i0. The society holds that dig nity and symnietty nu to be aimed at and that the singing of the Oloilu Pntrl and Gloria In Ei-clis, lespun slvo reading of Psalms or other -Viin-tures, the let Ration of the Apostles' Creed, the emplo.ment of Did and New Testament lemons and the kiic-ellug benediction arc enrichments. It v ,t.i on these points that nnsweis vote so licited. The result of the cam .up shows that Prcb teilan congiogntlons nie In clining tnwnids a num elabotuto form of worship and that this Inclination Is more in, n kid In New England. New Jersey ami New Vol It Mate outside of Manhattan and IliooklMi, than It I" In those two dWtili ts. Although thoo mi el.iboiiitlon In most all of tin -ei-Mces lepmted, theie was pt.ie'lc ,ill no uniformity About ten pei tent, of the pastors oppoM-d anv change In tl gcneial fonn of public vvoishlp, but m otheis warmh advocated si change. Some asked for the adoption of Dr. Shields "Honk of Common Travci." The Picf.liytcii.nis of New .lew.-y seen to be most uchnuccd It is le.irned bj the American boatd of foreign missions that the tumbles nt Doslilslia unlveiMty in Japan ate about to mine to an end. Itofoteiiee to these ttoubles has been nude In this column several times. The tinlveislty has been perveited fiom tho purposes of the board and of Its founders by i eat-on. In part, at least, of Japanese jealousy of American Inlltience. The institution was founded by the Itev. Joseph Nees hlma twenty jenis ago. When a bov Neeshlma tan away from home nnd shipped on a vessel belonging to Al pheus Hardy, of lioston. .Mr. llntdy took a fancy to the boy and had him educated for the minlstty. He then sent him back to his people In Japan, as a missonat Doshlsha was established as ,1 Christian university, where native, ministers might be educated, but It alto contained an academic couie. One of the Japanese piofes"ois was made president. when Mr. Neeshlma died nine eals ago and undei his admlnistia tlon there has been a good deal of backsliding In the faculty. Several membeis of this body hao abandoned the Cluistlun religion, while lellgious Instruction has almost wholly ceased. Other Important changes octuned. These conditions weio finally brought forcibly to the notice of the Anieilc.m boatd of foreign missions and lenion trani es weie made, but to no effect. The board then threatened to w Mi di. iw the endowment and withhold all support. After a long controversy the trustees of the university hae icsigned without earning the matter Into eouit, as they at llrst threatened to do. Foi tunately, the boatd found it possible to select the new "trustees wholly fiom among the Japanese. It Is epeeted that the constitution of the university, which the tecent tiustees radically changed In man paiticulurs, will be complctelv lestoied Theie Is no lea son whv the piospeilty and usefulness that emee belonged to tho Institution Kid Gloves We give the best possible attention to our Kid Glove department quality, flexibility and lit are prominent here.
