in Japan for twenty-five years and Is
spending three months here to recuper-
ate his health, being the guest of A.
Frank Cooke. When called upon he
responded substantially as follows:
Il have been requested today to
speak to the children. | had a suspi-
cion who the children would be. Ger
tainly have great pleasure in address,
ing the children, and especially the
children of the distinguished men ana
women upon whom the """I OF the
world have been fixed for the past
sixty or seventy years. do not know
just how long.
"One Of the first books | ever read on
foreign missions, which awakened my
interest in missionary effort, was 0
book about missions in India. dc
not remember thing that was In The
book. but II was one OF the first In
tluences to direct me to q missionary
life. Afterward | read OF the work IN
the Sandwich Islands. This has been
one of the most interesting of all for.
eign mission fields. | fancy there is nc
other country in the world whore such
society MS this could exist. We can'
not have II in Japan. because there the
work is too young. Not in China, he
cause the missionaries there are spread
over so vast a country. And 10 moi
think the circumstances in India favor
such a society.
Il take this opportunity of express
ing my great pleasure in being present
this evening and in offering you my
congratulations on your nourishing ap,
pearance and the grand work you are
doing. congratulate you upon youl
history and upon your prospects in the
future"
