Heart Work in a Japanese Boy
By B. P. Hoffman
FOR some little time, I have been teaching a Bible class, which is composed of employees in government offices, teachers in government schools, etc. While it is true that the willingness on the part of the Japanese to study is usually prompted by a desire to learn English, still I believe in the promise that the word of the Lord shall not return to Him void. One of these young men, who is employed in the educational department of the government, came to my home once a week during the winter, and we studied all of the most important points of our doctrine. He has expressed his belief that it is the truth, and a desire to keep God's law and the true Sabbath, and accordingly has written to the minister of education for permission to be absent from his office on Saturday, giving his reason for making such a request. My prayer is that God will strengthen his determination to obey the truth.
