M yB sar P r o f .- I t 1# now more than four years since I was in Ce- darvllle, Four year# ago today I landed in Yokoboma. You hare not bad a le tte r from mo during1 them busy year# but I have thought of you and all of my friend# In CedarTiUe, thousands of time#, 1 am aura th a t 1 am come- time# remembered and prayed for by Cedarvlile people, I am all the time conscious. of the help and ■trengfch supplied tome through the prayer# of other#. We are in one of the centers of Japan activity. Themostbeautlful city in the land Kyoto 1# third in eize—for eleven hundred years the. cap ital was here. ltd * still the center of the' Japan 0#* religions. There are more than a thousand temple# and shrines in the city beside# a little one m a l most every house. ■ Kyoto is the Center of ancient art.-. Thousands of people are employed la th e manu­ facturing of thing# new' and old One of the two fully equipped uni­ versities 1#here Next to i t is one oi the Seven Government colleges and nex t to it one of the best High Schools in Japan . Kyoto has three High School# for boy# and three for girls. r‘A great door i# open to us” You In America hear so much of Japanese army and navy, h e r com­ merce and politics, th a t you are ap t to think th a t the evangelization ib assured. Tom y mind Jap an i# in a most alarm ing condition—Power Without a Christian sentiment, a Christian conscience and Christian control is *11 too dangerous. The ' evangelization of Japan will insure th e Peace ot th e World and speed th e coming of th e Kingdom, more th a n any thing else which I can discern ’on the horizon 1of peace and prosperity as indicated by the signs of the times. We can feel the pulse of the world, righ t here ih th is island empire, just about asd it- tiuotly as anywhere else on the globe H ard work by missionaries for Xcannot he the re on Sunday nights " W - * * * * * * * * every sermon, every Bible class and every personal talk w ill produce tremendous results in the economy of Christian progress, and the World’s Evangelization. Now is the time to strike and now is the Iron a t a white heat. Now is the harvest a t hand for the field is white. Xam sending a map of this city and here ,1 give a key to the letters on the map; (A) is where we live. This house btloug* to our Mission Board. We have Bible classes, a Sabbath Sehool and many other meetings here. Across the street is a big in- termddiate schoei w ith 1200 pupils (There are five such schools in the city). (B) Here I hare aSabbath-School on Saturday bu t which X had to otose, partly because X had no money to pay th e te n t and partly because some students wanted a Bible class a t the same hour. I hope to be able to open i t again a t another hour, in April,. (C) Here with money given tome la s t year by Mr. and Mrs. 2>. B, Gamble of Cincinnati, I bought a fine lo t extending from 'stree t to street righ t in the m idst of the Schools. There is an old house on :iie lot and in this 1 am pushing work among students, A Japanese pastor has been helping me since November. Our Board Is not able to give ms. any money for th is work so I must dig for i t myself. X hare been paying the salary of this man w ith money which I get for teach­ ing » hours per week in the above mentioned High School. I ought to have this time and strength for d irec t evangelistic Work. This opportunity among Students Is tremendous. (D) Here w« have a preaching place and a meeting every Tuesday n igh t preceded by a children’s meeting. We h a re three teachers for the children’s meeting. A J a ­ panese minister speaks one week and Xspeak the next. We have the money to r this work, (E) This Is called the GO Jo church. Two year# sga a preaching piaek was opened here and we now have six ty si* members. The house costs 16 yen per month. The Chris­ tians will pay *th is hereafter and ik e Mieelcn p ye the salary of the evangelist. X baptized seven of these Christians Sine* Hew Years. The evangelist there is a hustler, We also h a re a Bible woman to work in connection with th is place. Be since the Cbristians pay the ren t ws have the money with which* to pay this woman and also to ren t the heuse a t (F). Bu t we have no meney with which to employ an evangelist so this place must be content with a child- gen’s meeting and one preaehing meeting a Week, The name of th is |IM* is fasMnfe wi«br*t#4lft history os it was the castle seat of th eg rsa t Hidiyeshl. We ought by all means to have an evangelist here to spend a ll his time and build up a church. (By the way all Pres­ byterian and Reformed churches in Japan are united, There 1# but one.) Tide town is five miles from Kyoto by train or electric car. We started the children’s meeting? la Ootober, Sixty-six were present the lost time; The preaching meet­ ings began in January. There have been no conversions as yet. Three regiment# of Soldier# are located a t this place. A ‘captain m one of these 1# a Christian and be 1 a living (n the preaching place, takes cate of the house and helps a t the meet­ ings . I want $25 per mouth to pu t this work where it will brlbg iu big return# iu the saving of souls, (G) This i# the independent Pres byteriau church. Work was begun twenty years ago. This'church is the result. This church employ# a pastor,- who ha# been my teacher ever since I came to Kyoto. They have a nice little building all paid for. Next doer to this Mrs. Gar' hold has a kindergarten. On Bun- day morning both church and kin­ dergarten are used for Sabbath School purposes. I have a Bible class (English) lit nine o’olook. On next Sunday two fine young men, students o f Doshisba college who have been attending this class for, two. and three year# respectively, are to be baptized in the ohureh.- (H) Here is a big section where nothing was being done for a great population until We opened a Sab­ bath School on every Monday af­ ternoon. The rent Is two dollars and a half per month. I have no money for this hu t It w ill never do to le t two dollars and a ha lf per month stand in the way of Christian teaching for these eager listeners. Xth ink there is some one in Cedar- ville who would be delighted to give this Sabbath School, .to a needy district, for $Wo and a half dollar# per month, (I) Here Mr#. Garbold ha# a K in­ dergarten. This is the center of Kyoto’s Weaving district. .Mrs. Garbold also has a big Sabbath School here on Sunday afternoon. We ha re evangelistic meetings here on Thursday nights. 1 speak Cue time and the pasto r one titae. In February I secured a theological studen t to speak on Sunday sights'; people in Cedarvlile who may know me or a t least knowing what it will mean to getin direct touch w ith auch a fru itfu l field, will count it a great privilege te unite in these labors. All of this work for which Xhave made estimates is new work started since I came to Kyoto. X have not been able to get appropri­ ation* for |fc, simply because the Board of Hissipus in New York ns# not been able to make an increased grant. We have nearly nine hun­ dred missionaries In the different countries of the globe and with so many emergencies as constantly oc­ cur It is very difSoulk to grant in­ creases sines the whole field comes in for a share of every additional so any one person realizes very lit­ tle for opening up of new work. If the friends in Cedarvlile find it in their hearts to make themselvesre- sponslble for #onie of tb is wonder­ ful missionary enterprises. X shall give full reports of the work and the expenditures and shall have all ac­ count* audited by a committee of our Mission on the field ,. I hope we can have a ’’Cedarvlile Mission in Japan” righ t here in Kyoto. If you think it boBt to speak to people privately or to have ameetlng or to form a committee or both, accord­ ing to your judgment, I think th a t far reaohing results will be obtained I think there are some who will agree to pu t in five dollars per month; some $4, $3, $2,60 $2, $1, 5pc or 26c. The money might be sent each month or as you might find it convenient. Money given iri the name ot Jesus Christ of Nazareth, for the glory of God and tbs Salvation of mm who 4re without the gospel, will X am sure bring forth a hundredfold, t - One hundred and twenty dollar# tr. S. money* per month is the esti­ mate. All or whatever p a rt may bo forthcoming will have my most earnest and careful attention. .May God direct you and me and a ll who love him. Yours for tbo world and for him,- , R, P. Garbold, VILLAGECl INS|Bl. The regular meeting eg B village council was held MondS Kven ing , all members being p ra jl m In the absence of J . G.

Xf I had $20per month for a year or two would transform the neighbor hood. We also have a lug childrens meeting on Thursday night ju st be fore the preaching service. I pray th a t God may lay i t upon some one’s heart to come to the rescue of this neighborhood for Christ. (J) Is a big heathen temple. Peo­ ple go here to worship the God Tenjln, god of good fortune. On the 25th day of every month there Is a big festlvalv-teas of thousands of people come. Hundreds of side shows, shops and venders and med Icinemen of all kinds throng the streets and grove which surrounds the place. Xalways pu t Up a large ten t righ t in fron t of the big gate (toril).and her* w ith the help of all whem x can press into the service we hold an evangelistic meeting from noon until ten or eleven a t night. Xf you can come on tha t day you can speak to os many peo­ ple as you are able to make hear. I h a te the money fer the rent of this place and some money for tracts but could nse five or ten dol­ la rs per month m this work if Xbad it. The Japanese will read 'any thing they can get hold of and will take anything you offer them. One day we gave away 13,000 trac ts a t this place. We often sell 100 New Testaments (6 sen per copy)at these festivals.

Twenty-five dollars per month would make it possible te open this work, * * * * * * This 1# by no means all of the openings and needs Which are con­ stan tly before my eyes, But these are the ones which trouble me most and the ones for which X feel the first responsibility. X think tha tyou are interested in this work and reth ink th a t there ato many others in Cedarvlile, whe without regard to church connection will be only to glad to have an epportun- 1ty like this for ehafing-in the evan­ gelization of Japan and the world.
