Kag IVA accepts them and would regenerate

very one is crying out about the evils that
the machine age has brought us, and every
where there Is despair because there seems to
be nothing to do but eat, drink and be merry
before we die. Capitalism, nationalism and
materialism are rampant and efforts to stem
their force seem futile.
N Japan Kagawa has arisen and cheerful
ness, intelligence, energy and philosophy have
already made him world figure.
Gandhi spins and weaves in primitive fashion
and wears almost no clothes Kagawa estab-
fishes cooperative society which makes O
three-piece suit. American style, which sells
for dollar and a quarter.
IT was my good fortune to spend some time
with Kagawa. tried in every way to con-
found him. but his knowledge Is prodigious.
German philosophy, statistics, history, economic
theory, modern psychology always came back
in reply with q laugh. Always, however, there
was one final answer-that the world must be
saved through love.
This is an old theory and on many lips it
is sentimental, with Kagawa it is both practical
and intelligent. He has learned it from
experience rare and complete, and his faith
comes both from the outside and from spiritual
insight He does not deny the world, he
faces 1t.
He was born in 1883, Of well-to-do family
and in japanese Buddhist school studied the
ConfucanSt classics. He had great moral diff
culties in his youth and was greatly influenced
by the life Of missionary. While in college
his health failed and he lived year in a fish,
ing village where he shared extreme poverty.
He returned to college in Kobe and went at
once into the worst SUM district, where he
stayed for four years trying to help the people.
Then he went to Princeton to try to find q
solution, but the philosophy which he finally
arrived at came from meditation"
On his return from Princeton he went on
the very FIRST day to live In the Stun and con-
tinued to live there until his children made
1t necessary to have q more healthful place,

EXCEPT that capitalists seliShly forget the
interests of their workmen, Kagawa is
not opposed TO capitalism He is not for max
ing work easier in having less to do but that
there shall be object above merely earn
ing the daily bread.
This sounds almost like an apologiSt for
things as they are. but Kagawa is much deep
er than that. He thinks that there must
first be change in the attitude toward life.
Kagawa believes that the spread Of Com
munism in Japan is due to pitifully small
wages, to child labor, to unemployment and
to exploitation by capitalists.
Many have been put in jail but the gov
eminent cannot stop It that way. The
only way is kindness and love. sympathize
with the working people They are oppressed,

can never accomplish anything good Not

The reason I, as well as others, consider him

prophet is because something will be added
to Christianity by his work, which will make
1t different kind Of religion.
In Europe and America, in many respects,
Christianity has run out. 1t goes on by its
momentum, but many people do not take 10
very seriously. It has power because Chris
tlan1ty Is almost symbol Of Western civiliza~
ton and it may get its regeneration as wen
as its birth In Asia The dynamic power Of
Kagawa is new and potent factor.
There are two reasons for this. One is the
thorough grounding of the japanese in
"Bushtdo," which is a combination of Buddhism
and Confucian ethics, and the other Is the
peculiar social and political situation Of Japan
at the present time.
Japan is acutely conscious of the fact that
1t has problems to solve thoroughly
modern country in its aims, it still has its
feet in the past. Strongly nationalistic, It
has the necessity of international adjustment
as few other countries have. It is In exactly
the right mood for spiritual experiments. It
will keep its own SOUL but it is looking 10
the rest Of the world for enrichment of thatS
soul
When the Emperor Meiji who was responSi.
bic for the modernization Of Japan began his
work So years ago, he granted complete re-
hgious freedom and welcomed all religions.
but the Emperor gave $4,000 toward the
new Y. M c. A. Building in Toxic, and for
many years has given q subsidy for the social
work of the Salvation Army.
This gives q surprising standing to Chris
tianity. There Is vastly more news about
Christian activities in the Japanese, papers
than could possibly get into an American
paper. and yet there barely more than
100000 Christians IN the country out Of
so 900 900 people.
Kagawa is. Of course, an internationalist
through and through. He loves all nations;
though he says there Is q Heaven America
and a hell-America" Lincoln and Emerson
he knows well and thinks they represent one
aspect Of America. The advocates of big
navies and national materialism he thinks:
can all be won over.
THIS practical idealist and political agi-
tator supports three social settlements,
helps leper colony, maintains a research
bureau, heads great cooperative organiZa-
ton. begins speaking in the morning at and
always speaks In the evening besides his
prodgious writing.
AS a practical man Kagawa is amazing He
lives the strenuous life in a way that would
have commanded the respect of Roosevelt
He Is an advocate Of the simple life, ana
yet at home with elegance. AS we were eating
lunch at the hotel in reply to one of my uueS-
tions, he asked what was the real use Of all
these things indicating the quantities of silver
by each plate the finger bowls and other ac~
cessories. could only admit their unimpor.
lance for the task Of getting food
The modern world is well aware that it Is
facing staggering problems. It has many
would-be prophets Of pessimism who have
many followers. The significant thing about
Kagawa Is that he believes that by religion
human nature can be nodded into finer fOrma

X AGAWA contracted trachoma from his aSso-
ciates and is nearly blind. His philosophy
starts with: 'T love Them that is ALL" 1t is

faith in its practicabilty.

BABIES ESCAPE HEAT
ON HOSPITAL BOAT
Floating Institution Sails Daily
With Cargo Of
Children.

NEW YORK GP).-While New York
swelters these Summer days, a boat
with a cargo of babies-the floating
hospital of st. Johns Guild-daily pulls
out from its East River pier and sails
for the cool breezes off Sandy Hook.
On board with the babies, their
mothers and sisters and brothers. are
two doctors and Is nurses, the med1-
cines, instruments and dressings or
hospital laboratory.
The upper deck is filled with babies
black, white and yellow-all under 2
years old and suffering from malnutri-
ton. Nurses move about the cribs dis
tributing specially prepared milk, doc
tors watch the gain or loss OF every
pound, and the babies are kept on board
until they are fat and husky.
The older youngsters and their
mothers are tenants of the floating
hospital for only a day at time. They
may come six days a week If they want
to, however, and SO popular is the wa
cation and cure" that the boat, which
can accommodate $500, is besteged by
crowds far beyond its capacity.
The boat, with a guard bobbing along
in q rowboat behind to fitch from the
water any obstreperous youngsters who
may fall overheard, gives warning toot
from its whistle and pulls out for sea.
All day hospital work goes on, but as
soon as each child has ben treated he
is free to scamper down to the lower
deck. where a physical instructor guides
his play.
