Of loyalty g which Of course is assumed to conflict with
of little difficulty The evil of the Japanese school is probably
great critics It is to be remembered that

Some may consider that Hawas Japanese Problem
as concerns Plantation Managers will
adequately provided for by the suggested activities of the
preceding pages Not he think who realizes that life
the plantation be made deeply satisfying unless provision

the local churches for the promotion of the Christian life their
respective communities church should be established
as possible in every village and should be attached every

desires to live in harmony with the teachings, of Jesus.
Until the Christian religion dsplace the superstous Buddhist

gious But long they persist the moral and political
life of the community which they flourish win inevitably
respond their ideals and teachings Christianity GO
and preep the ground providing exalted ideas of God
enncblng morality and life satisfying
