Found the Divine Chart and Compass

An old sea-captain was visiting Nagasaki, Japan, at the time of our tent meetings. He was one night studying the stars, and thought, "What wonderful lights to guide the ships over the pathless sea!" As he pondered, he longed to know more about them; and then the thought came to him, "Why, those people at the tent claim to know the Lord, who made these things; it may be they can tell me."

The Lord was guiding him; for when he came to the tent the next night the text of Elder Kuniya's sermon was: "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work." Gen. 2:1-3. The Spirit of the Lord impressed his heart, and he came again and again, and was baptized with others converted at the meetings.
His home is on an adjacent island. He says there is only one Christian worker on the island, and begs that some one be sent to teach the Bible there.
