DETROIT, Sept. 29-Intensely dramatic
was the moment today when Surgeon Gen
eral Suzuki, of the japanese navy, fresh
from the battles of the Japan and Yellow
seas declared with effective earnestness
and sincerity before the railroad Young
Mems Christian association international
convention that he had been for twenty
years n Christian. Proudly he added that
his wife and five children shared his belief.
Tears dimmed many eyes when the distin-
guished Japanese surgeon told brokenly
OF the drowning of another child, his 12-
year-old daughter, just two days before
he himself had been called into the thick
OF the recent fighting. He had not urged
the question of religion in his family, he
said, having trusted II 10 the guidance Of
God His eldest son had been the first to
become a convert having been interested
at first through an accidental visit to a
Christian meeting while walking along the
streets of Toxic. Next the wife had been
converted through the influence of her son
and all the family had followed In the steps
OF these two.
Struggling to control his emotion, General
Suzuki declared his faith in the Christian
belief OF the future life, saying OF his little
daughter, whom-he mourned, II believe she
has gone TO our own kingdom"
Further evideneing his high conception OF
tho beauty and power of the Christian re-
ligion, General Suzuki credited the mis-
sionaries to Japan with becoming broAdeI

concerned about outward appearances. II
