BISHOP 0F MID-JAPAD PREACHED SUNDAY A ST. JOHN'S CHURC 1Rt. Rev. Heber J. Hamilton, Fors. Missionary Bishop la japan, Toid Impreusive Story of £Missions ln Japan The congregation o! St. Johr Anglican Church were privileged4 Sunday morning to have as gue preacher Rt. Rev. Heber J. Hami ion, recently retired Bishap a! Mii J-apan, who dellvered an impressi- sermon on missionary work in ti Orient. Bishop Hamnilton also toi part in Communion service, pri nouncing the absolution and i beniedictior.. Speaking from part of the f ir verse o! the lQOth Psalm, "O Rejoii in the Lord, al ye lands," Blshc Hamilton stated ihat David in wrii ing this psalm recognised the Joy i the knowiedge o! God, and realizE too that flot only the Jews shouJ benefit fromn it but all the warlý In the New Testament, Paul, tl !first great missionary, repeated] referred ta the spreading a! the jc a! God throughoui the world. Thi is why, the speaker said, the grei Christian churches have their mi.ý sions in foreigu lands, wherc heaili en peaple do not have the joy thE cornes with Christian hope. In Japan, the bishop said, thez are 72 millions a! people in a cour try with an area only haîf that c Ontario. Of these 72 millions onl 400.000 are Christians, and these ar ivided into many different sect The principal religions a! Japan ar Shintaism and Bhuddism, neithe one giving the saine hope o! eternE life as Christianity. The !ollower a! the Shinto belie believed only in the present lufe, an, the ambition o! the religion was t secure personal prosperity. prosper ity in the f amily and prosperity ii the nation. On the other hand Bhuddism wa a religion o! pessimism. i believei in reincarnation a! the human spir t iat another form a!ter deaili and in the next life a human migh be a cat, a dog or a moscjuita. Eac] time death takes if e the spirit goe into another living !ormi until fin LIly the spirit itself dies. In neither a! these religions i there any hope, the Bishop added 'n Christianity there is the hope o eternal if e when this life is coin. pleted. Only a few years ago Christians were persecuted in Japax but now their number is steadl, :rowing. St. John's Church should be prou( of the Japanese Missions, Bishoî Hamilton said, because ai the pres eni time the rector's brother was si missionary there, and no less thar three o! his sisters had served ir that field. In conclusion the Bishol .rged a greater interest in spread. ing the hopeful message o! Christ. inity among the heathen, so tha; be!ore many years the wards oa David in the Psalm cauld become à reality. In the a! ternoon Bishop Hamiltor addressed the chi]dren o! the Sun. .ay School when he rclated the im- portance o! litile things in life, anc itile children in the church.

Pente- ce cost, Peter and John went up to the DP Temple ta pray. They were fallow- t- ers o! Christ, but at this time they of had no thought of' breaking with the d Jewlsh church. It was only when d persecution drove them out and di. when the problem a! the treatment e o! Gentile converts arose, that they y were !orced to leave Judaism. These y two Christian companions had felt t the power o! the Holy Spirit, but t they kept up their devotional life ln - order that the new power be not 1lost. They went together, probably t because they had discovered that prayer in partnership has added re power. They went ai three o'clock 1in the a!ternoon, the regular hour f of prayer. Fixed times and habits ly o! prayer are essential for spiritual 'e growth. Their prayers were a pre- ,S paration for action. Their great re deeds in the early apostolic age in- cr dicate that their prayers gave them al power. O! course they went ta the Temple ta pray cherishing the rich Straditions a! their Hebrew fore! ath- e rs, but they went aiso as foflwers ;o o! Christ who himself prayed con-f .- stantly and taught his disciples ta n pray. We wander if followers a! Christ prayed the Lord's Prayer in1 the Temple.c d Beauty and Beggary, 2 E - What extremes o! plenty and pov-t erty are seen in daily lufe! At the it Christmias season some people wereE h buying presents costing a few cents0 ýs while others were purchasmng costly ij -jewels a few doors away. PeopleÈ going for relief pass buildings whichE cost millions o! dollars. A boy works for six dollars a week in a skyscraper where one bit o! decora- dtion cost sixteen thousand dollars.E -People walking long distances fore lack o! a street car ticket see Scrowds around the new models at at y' motor show. Pamilies evicted !romi their homes ses sttely church d buildings and feel that architecture pranks higher than life. This con- trast is age lonz. In Jerusalem at the gate.a! the Temple called Beau- tiful, lay a lame beggar. He sur- mised that worshippers would be pgenerous. thereby paying a silent -tribute ta the humanlzing power of -religion. We feel that ln time true ,warship mnust banlsh want. We ,fneed beauty in buildings, pictures aand motor cars, but even more we need security and plenty for ail. Fewer shauld be gettlng rlch while athere are so many poor. Religion shudcure, not accentuate this dis- à that it was the aposties who went t pray who helped the beggar who could not hel.p hlxnself. Better Than Money, 3-6 Nearly everyone has dreamed o! being fabulousiy wealthy and going about dstributing gifts lavishly ta those in need. Doubtless if the dream came true, it would nat be good for either giver or recipients. It is much better ta provide wark *than relief, ta arrange for some !orm a! sel!-help than ta bestow scharity. In fact, those in want are 1 offien ln greatest need of sympathy and encouragement. What hurts them most is an attitude of callous indifference an the part af the more ifortunate. Friendship may ha more >helpful in the endi than cash don- >ations. Peter and John could give L neither silver nor gold ta the lame Ibeggar but they gave heallng and hope which meant far more. O!ten spiritual "csstance is the prlmary need o! thase down and outi. A vic- tory has ta be won over self before they can master circumstances. Christ had na money ta give away but he dld give love. truth and shar- ed his !alth ln God. One smlle may glorlfy a day. One word newi hope impart: IM f veb -- hehArtý. -DONT RISK BAKING FAILURES! a tribute ta Christ. Brought hafare the rulers and eliers, Peter dcl not talk -about hiniseif but about Christ. The presence o! the Holy Spirit in a Uife is a protection against pride and ambition. Peter disciaimed the Possession o! any magicai power and said that the cure had been done in the name a! Jesus Christ o! Nazareth who had been crucificd and who had risen !rom, the dead. HIe referred ta the tradition which Jesuials had mentianed, about the stane which ai f irsi was rejected in thc building o! the Temple but whlch afterwards becanie the chie! corner atone. Very similar had been the experience o! Christ. Ho came 1unta his own and his own recelvcd him nai. Neither synagogue nor Temple wanted hlm, but ho turned ta humble folk and today millions serve hlm as their leader and Lord. Questions for Discussion 1. Haw much time should we spend in daily prayer? 2. Is it possible ta have a world wiihout poverty ? 3. When shauld we refuse ta give money ? 4. Why are saved sinners a con- clusive argument for the. gospel'? 5. How do you explain Christ's place In history ? 9 - CONFILDENCE IN GOOD (Prom Christian Science Monitor) What is termed self-confidence is the reverse o! spiritual confidence. The former is subi ecitat fortuitous evenis, chance, and change, lacking the basai qualities o! security and truc Perception. The root a! the cvii lies in the placing o! con!fid- ence on material methods and ihings. Bcing o! such a nature, ht becomes weak and vacillatlng when it ought ta ho strong and active. The human props f ail mankind, and mon lose their grip, and their hearts are lnvaded wiih disquietude. Then is the very time when they shauid obey Jesus' admonition, "Look up- for your redemption drawcth night." The nature a! these circunistances drives ihem ta the one sure, immov- able source o! goad. Gad, from whonil emanate aIl wisdom, know- ledge, and power, and who contin- uously holds Ris own vast creation in Perfection and harmony. What an imperishable foundation for con- fidence, and whai a providence o! good it ensures! Ih frees human thought f romn carping care and the limitations o! fear, selfishness, and doubt. En]ightened fauth us usher- ed in. and wlth ht there ensue cicar- er vision, increasing abiîity and in- telligence. Confidence In good is an abiding expectation which is always assured and which neyer wavcrs. because It is based on the indisputable cvi- dence o! individual domonstration and expresses itself in a laving and undivided rellance upon God and His everlasting promises. As Mary Baker Ed. the Dlscav- erer and Founder o!
