A TireIeSS Worker.

pan. tells most interestingly of his
work. and his report shows that he is
never idle. He says;
AS l am not satisfied simply to hold
the regular church services, / am doing
street preaching twice a week-Thurs-
day and Friday. At each meeting there
is a crowd Of from 50 to 50 up to 100
people who stand and listen attentively
from beginning to end. / am also act
ing as a Bible colpoTteur, and have sold
Bibles or portions to the extent of 40
or 50. and those who bought them may
be considered inquirers.
These people are difficult to get into
our churches where they could hear
with comfort, but they will stand in
the street and listen Why this is so
constitutes an important subject for
thought in considering the question of
Japanese evangeliZation. One reason, l
think, is that to come into most of our
Chapels the people mpst take of their
shoes Cgeta or wooden clog. In, the Sec
ond place, attendance upon the church
services renders one liable TO be looked
down upon and ridIculed by his ac-
quaintances. Both Of these difficulties
are overcome in street preaching. l
also wish TO continue to do street
preaching not simply during the SUM-

Japanese "Sinners" and Police.

Miss Ida L. Shannon, writing from
Hiroshima, Japan, says:
'An effort TO put the gospel before the
people is being made in Hiroshima By a
union evangelistic hail, in which all
denominations unite to hold services
every night in the week. I wish you
could see the crowd gathered around
this hall from night to night listening
to the old. old story
The Buddhists were quite stirred up
because the location was so good and so
many people stopped to listen. Then
the police were stirred up because they
heard so much about sinners. There Is
no word in Japanese for sinners except
the one that means lawbreaker and the
police thought If there were so many
sinners around they ought to go to
work.
las a result of this effort new people
are dropping into all the churches, and
We hope and pray il may result in the
salvation of many"
