We call it the Christian move. ment in Japan but it really is.:a Christian__ expeditionary force to Japan. We tell the people that we come not to conguer them but to help the mfight their personal battles and social etrife by giving them Christ. At the outbreak of the war the ques- tion of the value of Christianity was brought to the Japanese. After iwo years of war it became plain to them hat the war was not ocaused . by Christianity but was despite Chris- tianity. The Japanese, sipce this fact became clear, have come to study Christianity in large numbers and a €vangelistic movement has brought many inquiriers to the Christian forces in that count: The meeting at the conciusion of Rev. -Mr. Foote’s address adjourned The young people's rally was held following the supper and %ie yearly business was ansacted. -After the young people's session there was an- other address by Rev.
