One Of the best-qualified men TO
answer that question is the Rev.
DR.. Charles W. Iglehsrt, long
time Methodist missionary IN
Japan and now a consultsnt on
the Far East to the International
Missionary Council. He returned
to this country last May.
Discussing that situation.
DIR. Iglehart said that Christ

emphasizing that fundament-
ally IL Ii In no worse a state
today than it was before the
war. II IL 10 be noted, how
ever, that drastic revisions
made within the past two
years. at the instigation Of
the government, had already
isolated the Japanese churches
from foreign support.
In this connection il is import
ant for Americans to remember

ton. Even the Christian popula-
ton is too insignificant to have
had the slightest degree of influ-
ence over the powerful military
clique.
Some Christian leaders who have
had an opportunity to study the
nation at first hand believe Japan's
aggressiveness is due to the ma
tional religion, in which the
emperor is held up as a direct
descendant of heaven. For the
Japanese to believe that their
nation is not divinely commits
stoned to extend the reign of their
emperor over every country upon
which the sun shines would be
both heresy and treason.
Because Of this powerful in
fluence, missionaries In Japan
were even less surprised than
informed Americans when that
nation finally came TO blows
with the United States. DIR.
Iglehart said that as early as
1881, when Britain and the
United States failed to get to-
gether on the Manchurian af-
fair, missionaries recognized
that the possibility Of war was
strong.
As soon as the state department
began to shape itself around a sci
policy a year and a half ago, they
were convinced. For the last IL
months they have accepted the
conflict as a fact.
Better Than Germany
AS consequence of this fore
sight, plus actual necessity, plans
have been made and fulfilled
whereby Japanese Christians can
carry on the work started by
foreign missionaries.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Leaders
of the three faiths united to call
all in the Greater Kansas City
area to prayer, to ask that church

their chime with industrial whis-

of the meaning of this hope of the
Messiah and its fulfillment?
The greatest experiences of JOY
are touched with sorrow and
Simeon suggested something of
the suffering as well as the glory
and satisfaction of Mary through
the coming mission of her Son.
These words of Simeon were
among the things that Mary kept
and pondered in her heart" as
she and Joseph returned to Cali
lee, prepared to do their part in
the care and training of the child
who grew and waxed strong, and
who was filled with the wisdom
and grace of God.
Surely the hearts of many
parents may respond to this beau
tiful scene! And the hope of
many who still look for the con-
ISOLATION of humanity, despite the
sad and violent times, may be
quickened anew. We know that
the Lord Jesus, the Prince of
Peace, has come, though the
world has not recognized Him.

Assembled in special session, the
council voted to set up a compre-
hensive intercouncil body for deal
ing with the whole wartime re-
sponsibility of eight major inter-
UNCONVENTIONAL groups.
The interchurch groups in
volved are the Federal Coun-

of Religious Education, the
Home Missions Council, the
Foreign Missions Conference,
the National Council of
Church Women, the Council of
Church Boards of Education.
the Missionary Education
Movement, and the Associa-
ton of Council Secretaries.
Last month these bodies voted
to recommend to their members
the creation of a single corporate
body TO combine all groups under
the name of the Council OF
Churches of Christ in America.
To serve while such an inter.
council group is in the process OF
formation, the council authorized
the immediate sblishment of a
coordinating committee for war

BY WILLIAM v. GILROY, ID. ID
Editor Of Advance

This Ia a beautiful lesson. It's
chief character in not the infant
Jesus, but the saint in Israel,
Simeon, to whom the parents
brought the child Jesus to fulfill
the ritual requirements of the
Jewish law.
What a noble figure appears in
the very brief description of
Simeon! We are told that he was
righteous and devout, that he
looked for what Luke called "the
consolation of Israel" and that
the Holy Spirit was upon him.
Could anything greater be said
OF any man.
We know what II means to be
righteous. A righteous man is
true and honest in all his ways:
there is no place in his character
or in his deeds for anything mean
or shabby. Here is the founds-
ton of everything that is truly
worthwhile. No matter how beau
tiful a mans life may appear or
what fine qualities he may possess.
his life is like building on a
flimsy and unsound foundation
unless he is fundamentally right
eous. Simeon was righteous.
What does it mean to be de-
vout? II means that ones life
has a certain quality and direc-
ton. 1t is devoted to something.
A man may be righteous, but his
righteousness may move in a
very narrow sphere. No great
love or loyalty may dominate his
thoughts and words and deeds,
but the devout man Is not so.

Simeon, Righteous Man,
Sees Prophecy Fulfilled
Conviction That Messiah Had Come Expressed in Sunday
School Lesson for jan II. Tert Is From Acts,
Second Chapter, Verses 1856; 1910

Perhaps We have very good
description Of him in the first
Psalm. which tells of the man
who is blessed because he "walketh
not in the counsel of the ungodly."
In His law doth he mediate day
and night" The devout man is
thoughtful. He aspires always to
a better knowledge of God and a
greater strength 10 do Gods will.
Simeon was devout.
A righteous and devout priest.
well versed in the Jewish Scrip
lures, would have found il i'm
possible not to have his life filled
with vision. and hope. and ex-
pectation. These Scriptures told
of a Messiah who was to come.
a great Savior and Deliverer, the
glory Of whose coming and reign
was described in rich and beau
tifnl terms. All his life Simeon
had lived in the devoutness of
this hope. looking for the con-
ISOLATION of Israel"
A strong spiritual conviction
had developed in Simeon, some
mystic words of God, that he
should not see death until he had
seen "the Lords Christ" this
Messiah of his faith, his longing,
and his expectation. When Joseph
and Mary brought the child to
Simeon, this same mystic feeling
assured him that the day he had
looked for had come. Glory filled
his soul. Life had nothing greater
to offer. and he poured out his
soul to God in blessing and in that
beautiful prayer which we call
the Nunc Dimittis. Could there
be anywhere, in few simple
words, a more adequate expression

come a functioning, Independent
unit largely because the church IN
Japan has been accorded far better
treatment than the church in Ger
many. An obvious reason Is that
II is relatively without power. Only
one-haf of one per cent Of the
population (25o,0O0 Protestsnts
and 100000 Catholics out of
10000. 900 people) is Christian.
Says DR.. 1glehart:
Like all minorities,- the
church canot direct the poll
cies Of the nation. But it 10
influential among the people
way out Of proportion to Its
membership. There are two
reasons for this. The first Is
that the leadership among
Christians Is by the best men
and women. and the second Is
because Christianity COM
mends itself to intelligent
people rs a sound system Of
ethics.-
Under the unifieation of national
life which comes everywhere in
wartime, Japanese Christians re-
sponded like other citizens when
their nation attacked China. But
DR.. Iglehart pointed out that the
churches have done much welfare
work for the victims of war in
Japan, and have put on vigorous
campaigns to maintain the spirit
ual life of the people. They even
tried-unsuccessfully-to promote
Christian missions in China.
These things were done by the
Japanese Christians. not by Amer
lean missionaries. Such initiative
was therefore invalua bic when re-
lations between the United States
and Japan began to strain, for the
churches were prepared to make
the drastic changes which would
help them to meet the impending
loss of foreign leadership.
Churches Unite
Thus, on Oct. II, 1910. forty
Protes tant denominations an
nounced their agreement to unite
as a consequence of legislation
adopted by the Japanese parlia-
ment a few months before which
barred foreigners from occupying
executive positions in the churches
and which cut off all financial
help from abroad. A plan of or
ganization was worked out and
submitted to the government in
May, 1941. and the Founding Con-
ference" was held in June. Late
in November, less than two weeks
before the attack on Pearl Harbor,
the government issued its charter
and approved the constitution Of
the United Church of Christ in
Japan.
