A Note of Praise From Japan

During the same meeting, T. H. Okohira, of Japan, said:—

“Dear friends, I do not know how to express my heart this afternoon before God and before you. God has done me great things in the past; he has chosen me as the first from my nation, and he has given me a chance to study in this country about twenty years ago. And then I was sent back to Japan, and I was working there sixteen years. Now God has sent me here to attend this great meeting. God has done to me so good! I have received a great blessing during this great meeting. I was inspired by what I saw, by what I heard. I learned many things. I do believe the Lord will help me that I may do ten times better work when I return to Japan. Dear friends, I heard that a number are going to Japan this fall. That has been my prayer for a long time. This afternoon I met one brother and sister and baby who are going to Japan. How I was glad, indeed! I will take good care of them, don’t be afraid; don’t worry about them; send more. We can take care of them. Now, dear friends, pray for me that I may be faithful to the end. I don’t think I meet you again on this earth; but, friends, I thank God I know where I meet you again soon, in near future. The Lord so good to me! I am so thankful for your kind, warm way of conversation. Dear brethren and sisters, be faithful till the Lord Jesus comes.”
