PREACHER ASKS ALL JAPANESE AMERICANS TO TURN
TO CHRISTIANITY, DROP BUDDHISM

ing and conduct We must all stand
before the Great White thron
sometime-after this life is over
and give an account of our conduct
while in the flesh. If we make a
mistake in our religious affiliations
and our mode of living here, there
no way of remedying that mis-
take-we do not come back to try
>yer gain.
That is why I stress this matter
# faith. Ab,ut all the old folks and
priests are doing is to spoil the Nj
lei for anything religious Certainly
lbout all the Nisei salvage from
yhsir Buddhistic training is a dis
Ike o. Christianity. Few hold to
Buddhism after getting beyond the
cen age.
I have known of many Nisei
'hurch girls who have married into
Buddhist families and are lost TO the
Told. The same can be said of those
Who marry men of no faith. Sa-
crificing ones eternal welfare is
errible price to pay for home and
'amily.
In a republic, citizens are respon-
'ible for the kind of government
hey have BY the proper use of the
ballot, laws and regulations can be
had that make for progress and a
high grade of morality. But citizens
must vote and vote intelligently to
bring about this situation. Citizens
who do not vote intelligently are not
good citizens. They not only jeo-
Iardize their own rights and privi-
leges, but endanger the nation as a
whole. 1t alarms me to find that
50 many, especially among the
younger Nisei, are not registered at
all. That means that many Nisei
are inviting the overthrow of the
very things we all want and appre-
ciate.
The light of freedom has faded
out for hundreds of millions of
earths inhabitants and is growing
dim for the remainder of us. The
fatalistic idea that we, individually
can do nothing about it is of the de-
vii. Christ said that The truth
shall make you free. There is a
diabolical movement prevalent in
the world today that is the negation
of all truth and is set to destroy
what there is left to us of the pre-
cious possessions bequeathed to us
by those who have gone before-by
those who have suffered and bled
that we might have the more abun-
dant life.
How can the Nisei become an in
tegral active part of the movements

When Canadian Pacific Airlines
inaugurates jet-liner service be-
tween vancouver and Tokyo. ia
panese stewardesses may be at

sengers, according to a report
from Japan.
Such a possibility, the report
said, was intimated by e. w. g.

Jet-liners would cut air travel
time from Vancouver to Tokyo
from 81 hours TO nine and a half
hours. Present plans call for this

ed during this last war proved that.
When the brave little Nisei girls got
out of the concentration camps and
went, alone, somewhere East to get
work or to go to school the Christ
ian girls found Christian friends "a
mong other Americans, no m tier
where they went. The unfortunate
Buddhists found no Buddhist
friends, as there are probably not
more than couple Ct hundred Bud
dhists in the entire white popula-
ton of America-probably less than
a thousand white Buddhists in the
entire world.
And when the boys volunteered
and were drafted into the Army, in
spite of the totally unnec5 ss3ry and
humiliating War Department pro-
visions, the Buddhists found no
white American Buddhist soldiers,
there were no Buddhist chaplains
and no Buddhist scriptures ready
for them.

Whoever knew of any man being

Japanese Buddhists for nearly six

Japan has changed because of the

BY REV. u. G. MURPHY

In 1926. after trip to Japan and
Hawaii, I published a small booklet
addressed to the Nisei The main
purpose of the book was to stimu-
late positive action on the part of
the American-born of japanese pa
rentage, so that they would beome
leaders in things worthwhile and rot
just followers.
I believed, and still believe, that a
group Of young people who have had
such good record as the Nisei can,
and should take the lead in moral
and spiritual matters.
Now find that there is a slowly
growing tendency to drop to low
er level on the part of the Nisei-
not in standards of living or ability,
but in matters that have to do with
the moral and spiritual inner-life.
The older Nisei are not doing
much in the way of furnishing lea
dership to the on-coming generation
and the younger set does not have
the high rating among the other ell
ements CT American life that pre-
vailed among the Nisei boys and
girls OF twenty-five years ago.
In Seattle and vicinity, only about
twenty per cent of the Nisei above
fifteen years of age are related to
any religious program or belief.
That explains the whole matter,
for no life can rise above the level of
moral and spiritual thinking and
conduct. My belief is that this same
condition holds for the entire West
Coast and Hawaii.
In the little book mentioned above
stated that the world did not con-
tain young women with ideals high
er than those of the Nisei girls of
America. The late war established
the fac, that more efficiently To-
val group of young men does not

age should go far in the life of this
nation-be an asset that can not be
excelled and seldom equaled.
But that is not what is happen
ing, hence this one more and last
appeal.
The small percentage of the Nisei,
possibly ten per cent of the whole,
who consider themselves Buddhists
are in the greatest danger and t
the same time, the hardest to reach

Polio Case Increase
Noted by Dimes Head

There have been five times as
many polio cases reported for the
first three weeks of January 1851
than for the comparable period last
year, according to Darwin Meisnest,
state chairman for the 1851 March
of Dimes In expressing enthusiasm
over the progress of the drive to
date, Meisnest cited the above start
ling figures in urging no let up in
the campaign activities until all CT
tizens have been given the oppor
tunity to contribute.
Washington had more than $50
cases of poliomyelitis in 1850.
