not until a year had passed that Shi.
meta landed In Boston. Much Of the
time during the long voyage Shimeta
had spent in reading his English Bible.
1t so happened that the Wild Rover
belonged to Alpheus Hardy. one of the
merchant princes Of Boston and a
famous philanthropist. When he was
a young man. studying at Andover.
Mr. Hardy's ambition had been to en-.
ter the ministry. His health had
failed. and he was forced to leave
school. That he could not become q
minister was a cross which almost
broke his spirit until 1t was shown to
him that he could serve Christ in other
ways than by preaching. and he had
dedicated his life to making money
for God" When he learned from the
captain OF the Wild Rover Of the
japanese youth who had come so far
TO find the truth. he saw that here was
great opportunity. and he sent for
Shimeta. So deeply moved was he by
Shimeta's story that he took him into

and was baptized with the name Jo-

In 1874 he returned to Japan under.
the auspices OF the American board of
foreign missions. During his ten years
absence many changes had taken place
in Japan. The country was now open
TO foreigners and western civilization
was being rapidly Introduced. Nee.
sima's scholarship and. familiarity with
American institutions gave him great
influence, and he was soon one Of the
foremost men of. the nation.
He was repeatedly urged to take
high Office under the government. but
he had devoted himself to the cause or
Christian education. and he knew that
he could better serve his country In
that field than in the field OF politics.
His success. which Included the found
