studying evangelistic methods and
seeking help for his work. He has
now returned to Japan with the
avowcd purpose of reaching all of
the 60,000,00O Of his countrymen
with the Gospel of Christ.
'He feels that the solution of the
international question and her sal
vation from atheism, and agnosticism
is III Christianity. The time is
snort By printed page and spoken
word, by personal work, and large
evangelistic meetings; by prayer and
work he is planning to cover the
whole Of Japan in systematic effort
to win the Japanese people to Christ"

bernacle services, with many church
