The Unitarian this month says: "Two of the Japanese young men. Mr. S. Matsumoto and Mr. S. Arakawa, who two years ago embraced Unitarianism at Ann Arbor and joined the Unitarian church, having Qnished their studies in this country have just returned to Japan, the former by way of Oregon and Washington Territory, sailing from some one of our nortb. western porto, and the latter by way of Europe, sailins from Marseilles, France. Both these young men may be counted on as strong helpers of our cause in their own country."
