Shimo -Shibuyo, Tokyo, Japan.
Sept. 22,1918 •
Dear Mr. Editor and.friends:--- •
Since it is impossible, to write the
many personal letters we would like
to, I take theliberty tcY write again
through your -valuable paper. I. hope
that my rambling lettere may stimul-
ate an interest in this great and that
many may seek to become acquaint-
ed with a people whom we have learn-
ed to love dearly. Ina letter I can
merely touch a few things, but there
aresplendid books and • during this
winter as you.sit around.' your roar.:
ing fires read;"Eyery Day, japan' by
Prof. Arthur Lloyd. It is an 'inter-
esting and.-nalthoratiVe book and you
can secure it from. either, Cassels and;
Co. Toronto, or The Methodist Book
Room, Toronto.
When I wrote before I 'mentioned
our first impressions, • upon
arriving at Yokohama, "and the
things ab which a maw comer simply
stands and stares. He wishes to
laugh but the next minute he is hold-
ing his nose to avoid . some awful
smell from another direetion. Amid
the terrible noise of eierybody jabber-
ing at once he.is lost in sheer bewil-
derment. 'We come on- to Tokyo
where ive have been living during the
year. There are hundreds of foreign.-
ers here and we didn't think that we
were so much different from the rest
of.them but why did the natives see
in tis anything more amusing than in
Others? If we stopped for a moment
on the streets there would be a, crowd
around us until we wondered where'
we could escape. -Men; Women, boys
and girls, mothers with babies tied.

We were just like a.young man fro

.are not slow to see the awkwardnes
and blank amazement of the now arr
ival from the other world.
Gradually however things changed
or rather we changed. The fussy little
trains, the dirty canals running 'in
every direction through the city
swanned with hunared of little sam-
pans (boats propelled -from the -reai
-wobbling along with their tiny 'cargo
the strange people and the stranger
dress, the scores of dirty• babies tied
on the backs of older -brothers and
sisters, the funny little jinrikisha with
its human horse hurrying to passen

sights, the wierd sounds. and awful
smells, all these became the ordinary
everyday experiences, nothing stran,

The first thing one must do whsn
he arrives lu Japan,' that is if he in-:
tends to live here as a missionary,
to become a Japanese and try to see'
things as a Japanese sees them. The
now arrival is so apt to think his own
woy is the only right way and he
laughs as he sees a•carpenter, for in -1

Then one lies a feeling of chagrin as
he sees that the fellow does the Work
and does ib well, and a man begins'
to wonder who is right and who .
wrong anyway. So is with
many things a Japanese ; does.

• The month. of Tune is called the
Nubal or wet season when we expect
that it will rain nearly every day for
•the month. After this the hot season
begins and everything just steams.
Moth and rust corrupt and thieves
break through and steal. Shoes,
books and clothes etc. get all moul-
dy in a few clays if they are not car-
ed for. The heat becomes so opp-
ressive that it is almost unbearable
for the foreigner; and the miesionory
who wishes to work for the coming
year must get away for a- weeks to
the mountains.

and August is probably the most non-

o beau tfnl, little place nestled in am-
ong the mountains and only about

a SiX hour trip. Thelast throe hours
