pupils, forty-five of whom live in the 
school. ‘This gives almost ideal con- 
ditions for christian teaching and _ train- 
ing, and most of the girls who go 
through the school, go out as active 
christian workers. ‘They get practical 
experience while here for they gather the 
children and teach the lessons in most of 
the S. Schools connected with the work. 
‘Through an organization for young men 
which we call the Himeji Y. M. C. A. 
we seek to reach young men who do 
not come tochurch. ‘There: are even- 
ing classes, English, arithmetic, literature, 
etc., followed each night by definite 
christian teaching. It has proved a real 
feeder for S. S. and church. 
Perhaps no part of the work here is 
more interesting than the tours into the 
country. On my last trip to Toyooka 
(60 miles)a young man who had been a 
prodigal son, was waiting baptism. He 
had been led to see the sinfulness of his 
life and an overpowering sense of his 
guilt came over him. While in this 
state he first heard of Christ, and with 
eager attention listened to the message 
which so perfectly fitted his need. Day 
after day he would hurry to the evangel- 
ist’s house to hear more of the Saviour 
who would forgive and save from sin, 
and as the parched earth receives the 
welcome rain, this sin-scorched sout 
drank in the life giving truth. 
The story of his experience and_ his 
confession of faith were most. satisfact- 
ory. [here was the ring of genuine 
conviction as he spoke of his great need 
and his trust in the One who had so 
loved that He had suffered and died for 
him. Of course it was only the simple 
Bible story that he knew and believed; 
he had not been troubled with the 
theologian’s theories, but one good bro- 
ther asked him to explain the Holy Spirit 
and the answer was interesting. Think- 
ing a moment he said “‘I am not sure

a river half a mile from the preaching 
loi wey 
place. This December day did not 
seem to belong to the sunny Japan of 
the guide books. The clouds were 
black and lowering, the winter wind was 
biting cold and as we reached the river 
side it commenced to hail. I spoke to 
this young man of the coldness of the 
water but he assured me he did not 
mind it. Sheltered by umbrellas we 
read the Bible story of Christ’s baptism, 
sang and prayed, then under the gloomy 
sky, beaten by the hail we entered the 
icy water. Perhaps it was partly the 
contrast, but it seemed to me that I had 
never seen a more genuinely joyful face 
than this, as he came up the river-bank 
thanking God for this privilege of thus 
following and confessing Christ. A 
fellow-officer(Goverment Silk Inspect- 
ion Dept. )was deeply impressed and_ is 
now studying for himself the real mean- 
ing of it all. Please pray for him. 
On my return journey I branched off 
to visit a village where I was told a 
christian family had lived for many years. 
I wish it were possible for me to give 
you the impressions of that trip. Izam- 
ura(this village)is more than ten miles 
from ‘Joyooka, the nearest place where 
there are other christians. We _ passed 
through hamlet after hamlet where ignor- 
ance and superstition was written on 
every temple and dwelling place and 
came upon this markly different home. 
Scrupulously clean within and without, 
no Buddist or Shinto emblems, no God 
shelf, this was enough to give it a differ- 
ent atmosphere, but it was the warm 
welcome with which we were greeted, 
words and actions with real heart in 
them, instead of the stereotyped cere- 
mony of which we at times so weary. It 
was this that told us that we had found a 
spiritual oasis in this broad blank desert 
of homes with no conception of the true 
and living God. In the planning for a 
meeting that night, in the comparing of 
God’s dealings with us, and in the family 
Hssex and St. Peter Streets, SALEM, MASS. 
nworship where each child had her own 
Bible and hymn-book and regular place 
to sit, in all this we found genuine fel- 
lowship and discovered anew the beauty 
of the oneness of the family of God. 
I was eager to know how it was that 
the lamp of faith had been kept burning 
so brightly in this remote home for near- 
ly twenty years. I asked the grand- 
mother if she had not studied the Bible 
a good deal and prayed much. She said 
‘“Ah no! [am verybad and neglectful and 
do not know the Bible atall.’’ Because > 
they seemed so like ourselves I did not 
make the usual allowance for the Japan- 
ese woman’s words of self depreciation, 
and believed her, till at prayer time I 
noticed the old lady’s Bible, and then I 
knew the secret, for from Genesis to 
Revelations the en worn Bible was full 
of special marks revealing much and 
careful study. We hada fine meeting 
that night with some earnest inquirers 
remaining for a long talk afterwards, and 
the next morning continued the home- 
ward journey with a memory that is bet- 
ter than Alladin’s lamp for it gives bright 
hopes and living confidence in the power 
of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 
Please continue to pray for us that we 
may with simplicity and clearness be able 
to make known the beauty and power of 
this Good News to the thousands around 
here who as yet know nothing of it. 
Most cordially yours in the Masters’ 
service.
