LIFE ON JAPANESE ISLANDS
(Editor's Note: We are in-

of Abilene for sending this
"letter from her son, Rev. and

Dear Friends in America:
On Friday evening, January
11, far the first time, I set foot
on one of the islands of the In-
land Sea. The village was
Siegi on Inndshima; and there
I had the experience of the
beauty of those islands that I
think I shall never lose.
We had held a meeting in
the Shieei Church, the central
pillar of which was the beam
of the original Fukuin Maru,
and were making our wav up
to the old Farnum residence
where we were to spend the
night. Making our way up to
the bouse by the hteh narrow
paths that ran through the rice
paddi 's, we saw on either side
silver patches made by a full
moon on the stagnate w
Turning to look back from the
hill, we could see the uniform
oattern of the rice naddies
dotted here and there by the
straw roofs of Ihe fn'-mers'
huts, forming a great oatohwork
quilt stretched down to the
WMt r's eds<-'. And in the dis-
tance, us far m the moon's
beams would take us, we saw
the silver ripples of the In-
land Sea.
"This is your parish," we
.-vere told by the Central Com-
mittee of the Japanese Baptist
Convention on January 23.
The Inland Sea Parish. I had
had the experience, just a few
weeks before, of sitting in the
cabin of the third Fakuin Maru
and studying with Ono-sensei,
the ship's new pastor, the old
map that Captain Bickle had
charted years ago. outlining his
wide Inland Sea parish. Liter-
illy hundreds of islands dotted
the wide sea thoroughfare which
separated the main island of
Honshu from the two southern
islands of Shikokti and. Kvushu,
which today (with Hokkaido on
the north) mark the limits of
the Japanese Emoire. On these
'stands of the Inland Sea live
3.000.000 peonle, making their
living n'incipally by farming
and fishing.
As we sat there on the deck

pencil over the lines of Can-
