FROM JAPAN
The following interesting letter wa-
written by Mrs. (Rev.) Whiting,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Holtz-
man of Crediton, and will" be read.
with interest, by her many friends in
this section.
Shimo Shibuyo, Tokyo Fu:
Japan; Jan. 7,'19X3,
Dear Mr. Editor:—
Since it is impossible to write :to
each of the many friends who have so
kindly been inquiring about us and
asking for our present address, at
their request I am taking the liberty
to write a short letter to your
paper, trusting you will find spade to
insert it. Already it seems a' long:
while since we took our last look at.
the many familiar sights around
Crediton on that day, when. like,
Abram of old, we started on oar.
journey to a far country, not knowing
whither we went, but trusting in our
same great leader who led Abram int(
that country where his life servic
meant so much to the world. I evil
try however to recall very briefly'
some of the incidents of that • great
trip which shall never be forgotten,
and some of the things which are of
such interest here in this island em-
pire of the East. The Canadian who
does not think that we have the great-
est
reatest land wider the sun is a man who
is ignorant of the splendid geographic-
al position, the vast extent, the un-
paralleled natural scenery and the
almost illimitable wealth of the great
national heritage which is ours. I was
never so impressed with this as during.
our trip through to the coast. As our
train rushed on, hour after hour, and
day after clay, over those seeming un-
limited prairies and the foothills to the
mountains; what a sight it all is. This
is not to be compared however with
what followed as we swung around
through the rocky caverns, from dizzy
height looking over the precipice into
the great ugly, yawning chasm below;
then dashed through the black tun-
nels, seine of the most wounderful en-
gineering feats in the world, and out in
to the glorious sunshine again to see
away above us the place where we
had entered. As we looked up at those
great mountains of rock with their
snow-capped peaks piercing the.. clouds
and the little streams tumbling=-'fzet,,
the heights to the depths below, we
could only explain, how small man is.
But as through bright day and dark
night our great black horse rushed on
over prairie and mountain and valley,
plain and forest, and early on the
morning of Sept. 8th, stopped to rest
in that new but wonderful city of Van
couver, away on the Pacific coast, we
had to say, bow wonderful man is.
God. has not only given to him domin-
ion over every living creature upon
the face of the earth, the fish of the
sea and the birds of the air, but the
greatest forces and even the barriers
of nature are his servants. Here we
stood and looked over the great watery
waste, the Pacific ocean, which a few
years ago divided the nations of earth,
but now is the great connecting link,
I will not try to' express our feelings
just then as we thought of what it all
meant and why we were there that
morning. We did think of home and
loved ones far away. We thought of
our great homeland calling as ,never
before for the best that every one of
her sons can give. We thought of
those cities of the plain through
which we had come, Cities glorying in
their material wealth, cities into which
the best blood of our nation is being
poured and in which many a splendid
young man from a beautiful christis
home has pitched his tent. All th'
was Canada, our homeland, but tl
kingdom of our Master and Lord- is.
without bounds. He does not see our
pretty little national limits. His
commission was to the world;
so in his service we set our faces over
the great deep. It is now just a little
over three months since Mr. Whiting
and I stepped from the dock of "Sado
Baru," which had been our home for
sixteen days, unto the dock at Yoko-
hama, Japan, swarming with a people
so different from us in so many ways..
Everything was different. We were
in a different world altogether to the
one we had left on the Pacific coast
now thousands of miles away. The•
people talked to eachother but to -lip
it was only a strange, monotonous.
and fearful jumble of noises. The
only familiar sound was the bark of a
little spotted dog which seemed to try
to make a noise very much like they
do in Canada. The people were -at.
tired in costumes which seemed. redid--

like the squeak-squack of a thousand
geese. Some of the people rode, not in
horse •carriages, but in a small but
very beautiful two wheeled vehicle
called "Jinrikisha;' this was drawn by
a man whose dress was conspicuous
by the abseence of the greater part of
what we had always thought belonged
to a man's suit. The baggage was al -
'so carried off by men and transferred
to all parts of the city on heavy carts
drawn by men. Some horses were
seen but they were small, ill -cared for
and bad tempered mongrels, and the
men instead of driving always went
ahead and lead them. All this seem-
ed so strange that neither then nor
now can I find words which will just
express the feelings. of a missionary
when he first arrives in this great land
of the Orient. What did it all mean?
We were not merely sightseers. In the
midst of all this we were to live and
