Work IN the Japanese mission
field Is very great. This year III,
teen new missionaries are being
sent to India and Japan. The har-
vest Is great but the laborers are
few, although financial matters
hinder the work as much as any
thing. Scores OF big cities in japan
should be equipped with churches
and schools but funds are not avail
able. DIR. Drach plead for a greater
support OF foreign misstons. One
thousand dollars year VIII sup
port a missionary pastor.
Before chasing DR.. Drach said
that he was pleased to know that
one OF the missionaries soon to be
sent to India was Miss Clara Lea

church, Fairmont, and he learned
that she was doing double har-
ness" with her fiance, Mr.. Green
While the Lutheran church carries
