Sumio Uesugi. a native OF Toxic.
Japan, who Is taking course In the
ology In Denfson university, Gran
vile. O.. is spending few weeks in
Detroit giving lectures on the man
ners and customs of his people. Mr..
Uesugi came TO this country some
three years ago and expects that II
will take him five years TO complete
his studies before he returns TO Japan
10 preach the gospel to his people.
II had been planned by his parents
that he should become a Buddhist
priest. but a visit 10 the bible school
in Toxic taught by Y. NJ. C. 4. sec
rotary changed his plans.
1T was while | was In high school
that / visited a bible class said Mr..
Uesugi. and when l heard the prayer
of that man | could not help laughing.
After time, 1t seemed that he was
sincere and then the thought came
to me that perhaps these Christians,
after all. believed they were right,
although | could not think they were.
However, | investigated the religion
and finally became convinced that the
Christian, not Buddha. was right. SO
I became one, but when | did so
had to leave my home. Ny father. who
was doctor in Toxic. died and my
mother then taught In the schools,
and IL had been their wish that Isbe-
come a Buddhist priest All OF my
people refused to speak to me or
even let me enter their homes unless
| would renounce Christianity. Even
now they tear up, the letters / write
them.
out of population OF nearly So
900 900 in Japan, the number OF Chris
tians Is about $4,000, half OF that
number being Catholic and the re-
mainder Protestant.
"As nearly as I can see. the schools
OF Japan have equally as good sys
tenn as those OF America. While the
Japanese boys play baseball, they dc
not have foot ball and other games
the same as American boys. They
are taught to fight sham battles. sc
that each student gets training In
military affairs. Although the boys
and girls attend the same schools In
the grades. when the high school and
university stage Is reached, the Jap
anese do not believe in co-education
The girls and boys then have separate
