Realizing a lack of any Christian testimony to such women, however, Irish-born Irene Webster-Smith sough t to bring Christ to them. She said, “I decided it would be better to put a fence at the top of the precipice than an am bulance at the bottom.” As a result, she supported her family of 87 little Japanese girls who were saved from the life that the Geisha lives. Work ing with the J apan Evangelistic Band, this intrepid ambassador of the cross bought a house in Tokyo with only $18.00 to her name, de spite the fact that the price was a thousand times that much. She never missed a payment. Fourteen years later the property was valued at a million dollars.

Re fused permission to visit one of them, she marched calmly into Gen eral Douglas MacArthur’s office with the demand which the general imme diately granted, to see the prisoner.
