Japan

By W. D. Burden

WE are glad to have Brother Cary here at this time to assist in the canvassing work. He is now helping to dispose of the New-year's number of our paper. The students did not handle nearly as many this year as we had planned to, so it was very fortunate that some one came along to help out. It is both a great waste so far as the proclamation of this message is concerned and an embarrassment financially when a large number of a special edition is left over unsold. Brother Cary has been able to make his way so far, but how long he can keep it up I do not know. It really is remarkable that he can do as well as he does; for he can not talk in the Japanese at all. However, that seems to be the secret of his success. No matter what the people may say, it is all alike to him.
We have had a most beautiful winter. Spring seems to be coming much earlier than usual. We hope it will not turn cold later when the crops need warmth; for if it does, I fear the prophecy of some for a famine this year will come true. W. D. BURDEN.
