TIE RC.I-IANT Zur ch, � Ontario Telephone 28 it 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-- ulouusly funny at that time but since have become quite ordinary, With nothing to cause curiosity nor emba- rassment. On their feet they w wooden. gaits, and, as they move Come and get your new Suit At Zurich's Leading Tailor Shop the only Place, where the Newest is always shown first and satisfaction guaranteed.

KALBYLEISOR PHONE Ig _ ZURICH 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 (Continued on Page 5) STRAYED There strayed from my premises lot 29 N. B.
