TOKYO - W.H - A japanese
Christian leader attributes Japan's
rapid swing to Christianity to two
things: a desire among the Japa-
nese ito be like Americans and
the abolition of Shintoism.
The Rev. Michio Kozaki. moder-
ator Of the Church Of Christ which
represents "a Protestant sects in
Japan, said that in the first year
of the three-year drive of his or
ganization, % 1000 seekers had
p~rofessed their interest in Chris
tianity.
Kozaki said the japanese are
watching the United States under
Christianity and democracy, which
are synonymous to many Japanese,
ard Soviet Russia under commun-
ism.
The Japanese" he said. will
take whichever path seems best.
They are constantly watching and
comparing the two systems and
charging acts of occupation per
sonnet to Christianity and democ-
racy or to communism

their interest in Christianity and
asked to have their names placed
on the organizations mailing list
for notification Of special meet
ings.
Another indication of the popu-
larity OF Christianity is the fact
that 800, 900 Bibles have been dis
tributed among the Japanese peo-
Pile in the last year and a half.
The Japanese have asked the
American Bible Society for 1900

Kozaki believes that within two
to five years 10000 japanese will
ask to be baptized and join the
church. In the last year japanese
churches have been filled to capac-

only about two : thirds of the
