In this big task the Northern ptist Convention plans to take an increased part. . .. s iThe need.of vigorous action’ along these lines is perhaps best ‘shown in the words of John Reed, Bolshevist writer and organizer, who in New York pril 7, 1919, urged the Bolshevists : ever mind the old men nor the middle age men, And don’t pay atten- tion to the American citizen. Get the\) immigrant. Get them at the impres- slonable ages of sixteen to twenty-five, Get them.all. Organize them and teach them as you organize.” : :This " outspoken advice . has stirred Church and government to renewed ac- tivity. The former is interested that this shall; be carried out in keeping with Christian principles. And the New World Movement of Northern Baptists plans to train workers, both 1ay.and: clerical, for work: with: certain races, as well as to “train the rank and file of church members-to-a-better un- derstanding of the foreign born.” Men of the Baptist -Church, the New: World Movement leaders urge, have a Chris- ljan duty to assist in bettering living In and out among. the hundreds of small islands in the Sea of Japan a lit- tle white ship threads its way on a nev- er ending cruise of Christianity. It is the Church of the Fukuin Maru, and it carries the gospel message to thou- sands who could not be reached in any other way. The ship, like the itinerant preacher and the' circuit rider of the old days, . makes port in lomely out of the way places; It dispenses a hospitality that might well be envied by American . churches with better advantages. Na- , tives flock to hear the messages deliv- ered on‘its deck. The Fukuin Maru is the only floating : Baptist church in the world, and it is regarded by members of that denomi- . nation as one of the most unique ef- forts of the Christian missionary move- ment. For years it was commanded by Captain Luke Bickel, who recently died, and now the Northern Baptists are endeavoring to find a captain- ' preacher who will take his place. There are 33 churches of the Baptist faith in Japan, with a total member- ship of 3,651, Plans have already been . outlined, however, for the building ef (16 new churches immediately and later conditions . of forelgners, to improve factory conditious and to prevent the fmmigrant from being exploited. They ‘are also urged to help enlarge soclal, eduycational, civic and religious oppor- tunities of the newcomer, Women of Baptist churches are urged to cultivate personal friendships with individual foreign born women, Children are be- ing taught to make friends of the chil- dren of foreign born families. Work among “New Americans” Is specifically planned in the reports of the various state conventions of the Baptist - Church. Eleven nationalities will be brought into contact with the plans as outlined in the reports of the state conventjons of Malne, Massachu- setts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New [’ York, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Ohio, In- -diama, Illinols, Minnesota, Colorado, | ‘Idaho, Arizona, Washington, Oregon .and California. These nationalities in- clude, French, Russians, Poles, Italians, Roumanians, Hungarians, Slovaks, Mexicans, Japanese, Chinese and Scan- dinavians. R Twelve city mission socleties, having a standard form of organization and |’ operating in the larger cities, will be broadened in scope and more such so- cial, educational and religious centers established ‘as the present New World Movement plans are put into effect. * NORTHERN BAPTISTS | HAVE NEW PAPER a i February saw the appearance of Vol- ume I, Number 1, of “The Baptist,” the new official organ of the Northern Baptist Convention. Issued in Chica- go, the weekly had a first printing of 75,000, i ' - Dr. Lathan A. Crandall, formerly of Minneapolis, is editor-in-chief. Dr. Clifton D. ‘Gray, editor of “The Stand- ard,” which “The Baptist” has absorb- ed, 1s managing editor. “The Stand- ard” had been a.household word in . Baptist homes since 1853. ’ ! _Among the contributing editors of | “The Baptist” are Governor Carl Milli- : ken of Maine, Professor William Lyon Phelps of Yale and Helen Barrett Montgomery. The purpose of the new paper is “to portray from week {0 week the forward steps of the denomination fn the general advancement of Chris- tlanity.” ~ Employment by many American communities of visiting nurses has in- spired foreign mission societies to plan ‘similar work, and a training school is being developed at Moulmein (Burma) Hospital for Women, so that Burmese villages may have similar workers, Sixty-seven languages are spoken in an area a little larger than Michigan, according to the report of Baptist mis- "gionariés in Assam, British India, a province which lies close to the border “of "Tibét.

More than 1,000 men and women will read from the Psalms there daily, and Miss Liberty, who stands a stone’s throw from the island slip, could hear if she were incarnate, Reading from the Psajms is the lit- eracy test for admission to this country, which went into effect in May, 1917, and is now receiving its first real trial because immigration during the war wasssmall. The law provides that an immigrant, with a few exceptions, must be able to read from thirty to forty words in any language he or she desires.

But the gospel must be pre- sented to-them by men of their own race who are competent to present it in a strong, intelligent way. We must have thoroughly trained Japanese lead- ers and pastors who can command at- tention.” Careful consideration is being given the housing of the Christian church in Japan so as to win the respect of the people. “A rented storein a side street does not command the respect of the Japanese any more than it does of the Italians in New York,” the report |- states. “Our fine institutional church building, the Tabernacle in Tokyo, ought to be duplicated at every impor- tant center, and attractive, dignified houses of worship should be erected at every other point.” The Baptists are endeavoring so far as possible to develop complete inde- pendence of the Japanese churches, un- der their own leaders. .
