Sunday night Mr.. Kin Takahashi,
the japanese student in Maryville
College, lectured at the Baptist
Church on "The Importance of
Japan as Missionary Field" 1t
was a most excellant lecture and
seemed to be highly appreciated by
the large audience present. Mr..
Takahashi is one of the most highly

mind. His gentlemanly bearing,
pluck, and his determined effort to
get an education in spite of Obstacles

wish him success wherever he may
be.
