"The people of Japan are ready to
listen to the gospel" a recent report of
the field survey committee of the
Northern Baptist Convention says.
"Their faith in the old religions is
broken. But the gospel must be pre-
sented to them by men of their own
race who are competent to present it
in a strong, intelligent way. We must
have thoroughly trained Japanese lead
ers and pastors who can command at
tention."
Careful consideration is being given
the housing of the Christian church in
Japan SO as to win the respect of the
people, "A rented store In side street
does not command the respect of the
Japanese any more than II does of the
Italians in New York" the report
states. "Our fine institutional church
building, the Tabernacle in Tokyo,
ought to be duplicated at every impor-

houses of worship should be erected at

Practically all the small grain was
cut this week, and several threshing
machines were in operation last Mon
day and a number of others have
started up during the week. The

tions, Societies Of Equity,
Equity-Unions and Oranges met
at the LaSalIe hotel in Chicago
recently to tell about the work of
their organizations and to dis
cuss methods for improving the
marketing Of livestock and grain.
Grain marketing occupied
practically the entire time and
attention of the conference 1t
was soon apparent that all were
agreed that marketing system
for grain should be devised that
will insure a steady market, free
from unjust manipulation, and
guarantee fair price to the pro-
ducer 1t was also the opinion
that farmers themselves should
market their grain, that all the
grain growing states must work
together in ,heir marketing
efforts, and that the rights Of the
consumer must be given due
consideration.
The various organizations rep-
resented at the conference have
been engaged in grain market
ing enterprises for years. How.
ever, they have followed different
plans and no one organization
has had control of the bulk of
the grain. A uniform plan must
be worked out and followed by
all the producers and marketing
organizations in the various
grain states and there must be
control of the bulk of the pro
duction.
