The Hawaii Shinpo has the following
leading article which will attract the
close attention of those wh5 are inter-
ested in mission work among the jap
anese:
Reference has been made a number
of times in these columns to the general
failure of Christian missionaries to
make a deep impression on Japanese
ana to the lack of sincerity among
those japanese who are listed as con-
yerts to Christianity. Christian minis
ters usually refuse to admit that trey
have so failed, and the statement that
only small proportion of the con-
yerts are really sincere is challenged.
1t is interesting to consider some OF
the reasons why the failure is unavoid-
aple and why no foreign missionaries
will ever make a deep impression in
japan. The fact.that they do not make
a deep impression among Japanese
here forms a part of the same story,
whose truth has been inu~trated over
and over again in Japanese who were
merely professional Christians. Cases
might be mentioned in which Chris
tianity has been adopted as a means
of taking advantage of educational
funds kindly furnished by missionaries

In the first place. as a reason why
Christian missionaries are helpless in
their efforts to proselyte in Japan there
is a fundamental historic error in their
method of attempting it. Among the
men who went there generations ago.

STRANGE CATCH.

Yesterday afternoon on the long pier
at the foot of Bay Twenty fifth street,
Bensonhurst, there was witnessed the
oldest catch on record. Miss Alma
KiesIing, who is camper at Camp City,
was looking at an old German fishing
for f1uke on the dock, when she saw
him struggling with what looked like
a big fish. When the hook came to the
surface of the water it was seen that
a tin can was dangling from the line.
The fisherman disguised, was about
to fling the can back into the water, as
the crowd laughed, when, upon examin-
it, to his astonishment he saw that 1t
contained a live baby loboster, many
of which are being caught near the
dock The loboster was perfect, and
was promptly placed in the fisherman $
basket. Miss Kiesling says it is the
first time she ever saw or heard. of
canned loboster being caught on
