Some years ago the Brotherhood Of St,
Andrew was started in a small way in
Japan mainly through the efforts of Mr..
William F. Wood of Ohio. who after re-
naming in that country for about three
years returned to the United States and
entered the ministry. Since then. under
the leadership of Rev. Barnabas S. kimu-
IA of kyOta, Japanese clergyman, the
brotherhood has progressed quietly and
without making any very great Roadway.
Now. however. the call has come from
Japan for brotherhood of laymen to go
ganization. A visit was recently made to
that country by Mr.. c. Nj. Lovsted of
Honolulu. a member of the National
Council of the Brotherhood. Upon his re-
turn from Japan, where he observed the
opport unitieS for aggressive and telling
work among the men of japan, he is
urging the organization to send man to-
that country to take up this apparently
important work. Unless some member OF
the organization volunteers at once, some
definite step will be decided upon at the
next annual brotherhood convention in
Milwaukee in October.
