Japan

By J. N. HERBOLTZHEIMER

THE work in Japan is very encouraging. Elder F. W. Field stopped here a few days ago on his way from Hiroshima to Tokyo. He reports a good interest in Hiroshima. The laborers there are doing faithful work, and winning souls to the message.
Some canvassers went to Shikoru to canvass for the special number of our paper; and since their return, word has been received that two have begun to keep the Sabbath, and are calling for help to lead them in the paths of righteousness.
Brother W. L. Foster reports a good interest in Nagasaki. He and Brother Tsukamoto have a large number of interested inquirers in their Bible classes.
Dr. Noma and the workers at the sanitarium are very busy now, and they are all of good courage. They have made many friends by their faithful work. One patient has rented a piece of ground, about an acre in extent, and donated the use of it for five years to the sanitarium. Another man is paying for an advertisement for the sanitarium for one year in the best paper in Japan, and the one having the largest circulation. These people have also become interested in the truth. The principles so faithfully carried out by the workers here have found an entrance into the hearts and homes of the people.

Several doctors have become interested in our work. One has sent a nurse to the sanitarium to receive a thorough training in hydrotherapy, massage, and dietetics. I received a letter from another doctor yesterday, inquiring about hygienic cooking and the vegetarian diet. My wife gives cooking lessons each week.
Another physician is so interested in our methods that he comes very often from a neighboring city twenty miles away for instruction. After his first visit I sent him our little paper, and he returned the next day to inquire concerning our belief. We studied several hours together. He now has a desire to go to one of our institutions in America for a course of study.
God is blessing the medical work in Japan, and we are thankful that we have this part in his great work to help carry forward the third angel's message in this dark land.
