And it seems that since I have entered Uncle’s shop, many more fans are sold. Today I sold ten gold dancing fans at Yen 1.20 each one. Yesterday I sold very beautiful wedding fan to wealthy mother of a bride. It was for Yen 7.40. Once I learned from my English professor that in other countries fans are not used only when it is hot, but then, I think their heroes are men o f the sword and gun only. Great Japanese held always sword and fan. It is a good thing to sell with success, and I think Uncle must thank his stars for such a salesman as I do become. [Continued on page 77] Advantages of Multiple Buying Among Church People The readerj of this publication undoubt edly have noticed the increasing trend in the efforts of companies to sell their goods by sales inducements, that is, prize contests, gifts, etc., all based on sending in such evi dences of sales as box tops, coupons, and labels. A N ew P lan Recently a group of manufacturers bound themselves together in a plan whereby these expenditures for stimulat ing sales of their products might be di verted into church causes, missionary ef fort, welfare work, and other similar pro grams,; Y Twelve manufacturers—all American, thus benefiting American labor^-now pre sent thirty-two necessities?'or niceties of life. The articles are things that you. and your friends and neighbors are now buy ing. Now, if a church group will agree to buy the products of these twelve manufac turers, some of which aje listed on the ad vertisement to the right, and will save the specified purchase identifications, turning them in through some designated repre sentative of the church or society, this group may receive many dollars to be ap plied to any cause that the members may have chosen. Perhaps the object will be the paying off o f a mortgage, or the instal lation of an organ, or the lifting of the burden from an orphanage, home, or hos pital, or the making of an added contribu tion to a worthy missionary work. It is to be clearly understood that this plan is in no way to be a substitute for that method of regular, week-by-week giving unto the Lord which is shown in the Word of God to be His way of maintaining and extending His work on earth, through the faithfulness and often the sacrifice of His children (1 Cor. 16:2). The plan provides merely for the giving o f EXTRA amounts to worthy objects in which Christian peo ple may be interested. W hat the P lan P rovides An average church, through its member families and their neighbors and friends that will gladly help, could surely get 200 families to save the designated purchase identifications. If these 200 families bought, once a month, one o f each o f the listed products, each family could turn in, in a month, redeemable purchase identi fications valued at 20 cents, making a total of $40.00 for the group. It is necessary for groups to indicate their participation in this plan, so that the manufacturers may be prepared for the amount of contributions they will have to make, and may have the merchants sup plied. Get your group to agree to enter this plan and sign the coupon on the next page—NOW.
JINSABURO SPEAKS HIS MIND [Continued from page 52] But had not Uncle kept me in his home during the years of education? Therefore, I must serve him now, especially as he is Father’s brother. Instead, I would that he were brother of my mother; then I need not so to obey him. And America has grown farther and farther in dimness till it seems like the moon and I can never journey to there at all. Many days I did not pray even a little. Why should we. pray if God does not answer? Even I thought there was no such God as Christians say. Then all of our family and one servant returned to Tokyo with Uncle to live in his house until, I suppose, I am married and can take a small place to make new home for Mother, brother Shozo, and sister Akiko. I suppose I should sign my name like m other Journal. I will be like American, and sign family name last. But this custom still seems very strange to me. JlNSABURO T A JIM A . 5 th of O ctober . Last time I did write so copiously that my hand tired from exhaustion, so now I finish about my disappointment and the reason for continuance o f English writing. As our train reached the great capital station and stopped, I looked out to see my friend, Matsumura San, standing there, as I had posted him news of my return. Beside him stood also Hayashi San whom I had acquainted in English Bible class. His shining face was saddened for me. Then as I stepped down from train, the missionary McEdward grasped my thin hand. I looked into his eyes once more, and my heart became soft so that tears spilled for the first time. I ached and pained to tell them o f my disappointment, hut, instead, I gave their names to Uncle and Mother, and walked beside with face of Stoic put on as a mask. That night Hayashi San came to call me for Bible class, and though I felt fatigue, I went with him. We called also for Matsumura San. When Hayashi San heard o f my disappointment, he advised me to trust in God and continue practice of writing English against the day when the door might open to go. He said Mr. Mc Edward would speak always to me in English which would assist my pronounci- ation. I heeded to his kind advice and resolved once more to acquaint my good •Journal. Still, my heart felt great soreness until after Bible class Mr. McEdward wrote on a paper thusly: Disappointment is His Appointment for me. Then he explained a verse in Romans, 8 chapter: “ All things work together for good to them that love God.” So by and by as he talked, my heart was healed. Tomorrow I take clerkship in Uncle’s shop, but I know I shall hate it. O ctober 17. Today was the tasting ceremony when new rice was offered to the gods. I did not join with Uncle in any festival, but thanked to God for the good harvests this year. I suppose I must thank also for working place when many men who have reached their finish of school life, seek but cannot find.
