There was only a small audience out
at the Episcopal church last Tuesday
night to hear Rev. Wataru Sakaibaru
the Japanese convert, talk on the sub
ject Of Japan for Christ" The at
tendance was probably not as large as
It would have been had there been
more notice; but those who did go out
found themselves we'll repaid. Mr..
Sakaibaru spoke encouragingly Of the
prospect of Christianity in Japan;
but perhaps the most interesting por-
ton of his address related to his own
personal history. He said that he was
a native of the province Of Cheba, and
was born about the time of the Japan
ese revolution. His father was a
priest and sought to bring him up In
the priesthood. He, however, was per-
mitted to go to college, and while at
college he became secretly interested
in the preaching of the Christian mis-
sionary from America. He talked with
the missionary from tine to time as
opportunity afforded, and the mission
ary gave him Bible, which he studied
In the privacy Of a locked room. On
the advice Of the missionary he en-
ployed a tutor and studied English.
Then he was persuaded by the mission
ary to go to America to complete his
studies. His father and mother were
both very much disappointed at his
change Of faith; but finally consented
to his coming to America which he
did in 1899. He is devoting his entire
time to spreading the gospel and hopes
to be the means of converting many Of
his countrymen to Christianity.
A company of exceedingly clever
performers will appear in the produc-
ton of the newest, "a Breezy Time"
at the opera house on January IL. The
piece Is a farce comedy, but 1t Is said
i, nnnnnntn6 than
are most pieces of its kind. The plot
Is not so intricate, however, that 1t
calls for any great mental activity to
follow it. 1t Is put together simply for
the purpose of giving the comedians
an opportunity to exhibit themselves in
the various specially performances. The
piece Is separated into three acts, and
these acts are full Of action rather than
have been made for Breezy Time" this
season, and it has been the aim of the
management to engage the young and
rising members Of the profession rath-
er than old-timers who have worn out
their welcome. The first scene Is laid
in young students apartments In
Boston. The second act shifts to Ver-
mont. 1t may not be necessary to say
that there is young girl who Is In
love with the young student, and that
the young student reciprocates the love.
His creditors stand In the way Of his
marriage, and "a Breezy Time" Is like
other pieces in this at least, that all
end happily in the last act. The play
is brim full of melodious music, and a
great many scenes have been introduce
ed that have no particular connection
with the play itself, but that are suffi-
ciently amusing to excuse the fact that
they retard the action.
