church, which is graded along modern

is the leading church of the city, hav-
ing between 400 and 800 members, and
an imposing building, with the architec-
ture and equipment of the most progress
sive Western churches. There were up
wards of dozen white persons here,
as this denomination centers its mis-.
sionsry work in Sendai.
Rich In color was the Greek church
service, attended by 36 persons The
priests in their sumptuous vestments
were Japanese, but the ikons, or pic
lures, on the walls were elaborately
Western. The service was antiphonal,
with small choir and concealed or
gan. There were no pews, the congre-
CATION sitting, japanese fashion, on
mats.
Both pews and mats furnished the
beautiful Protestant Episcopal church,
which throughout was an attractive
combination of Japanese and English
architecture. In interior appearance
this building surpassed it's much larger
neighbors. There were sixteen worship
ers, one of them white. This last is an
American woman. who is taking up new
work in an interior village, where she
is the only missionary, and the only
foreigner as well.
A small wooden church, of adapted
Japanese architecture, but furnished
with benches, held the congregation
that appealed TO me most by its inter
est and manifest devotion, It was a
Baptist church, quite self-supporting,
and SO persons were present. Here,
as elsewhere, heard the familiar Chris
tian hymns, but all sung in the minor
strain that characterizes Japanese mu-
sic. Three American women mission"
aries were present.
Thirty-siX persons, mostly young men
and women, were present in the new
Disciple church, which looked as if it
might have been lifted bodily from
some American or Canadian village.
At two small and newly-erected
churches of the Reformed denomina-
ton ] found 81 and 81 persons respect

Twenty-Five persons, including Mis-
sionary McCord and his family, were
seated on their feet in a\ Japanese
dwelling at the service of the Amer
lean Christian Convention mission,
which as yet has no church building.
IT chanced that none OF the three
Sunday services of the Roman Cath
olic church was in session at the hour
of my visit, but ! was shown through
