H E Church was thrilled by Bishop McKim’s brave message
T after the earthquake in Japan last September, “All gone but
faith in God”, and the National Council proudly recalls the prompt
and generous action of our people in providing emergency relief
for the Japanese Church.
Knowing that temporary relief must be followed by careful
reconstruction, the Council sent its President and the Executive
Secretary of the Department of Missions to Japan to study the
facts, confer with leaders and report a program.
At its meeting, on February 20th, the Council received the re
port of Bishop Gailor and Dr. Wood, containing a complete plan
for reconstruction, based upon personal investigation and confer
ences with clergy and leaders of the Japanese Church, with Dr.
Teusler, of St. Luke’s Hospital, with architects and building ex
perts and with Japanese statesmen such as Viscounts Goto and
Shibusawa.
Transcending the need for physical restoration, they report that
following the disaster there has developed the greatest opportunity
ever presented for making Christ known to Japan. In this we must
play our part and reap the rich fruitage of the consecrated effort
of more than sixty years.
They declare the experience and conviction'of the leaders of the
Japanese Church to be that for successful evangelistic effort it is
absolutely essential that in addition to churches there be both a com
plete and balanced system of education for the development of,
Christian leaders and medical work as a practical demonstration of
Christianity.
The Council at its meeting had the benefit of thie advice of
Bishop McKim, Bishop Reifsnider and Bishop Tucker, who un
qualifiedly endorsed the report of Bishop Gailor and Dr. Wood and
the convictions upon which its recommendations were based.
The estimated cost of the restoration of buildings and equip
ment and for necessary expansion to make the work complete and
efficient is $3,000,000.
The Council has appointed a committee to lay the facts before
the Church, confident that the Church, in facing this larger task of
permanent reconstruction, will exhibit the same splendid spirit of
devotion and sacrifice that responded so effectively to the emergency
appeal. “Let us rise up and build.”

To what extent the Japanese Government and people appreciate the service
which St. Luke’s Hospital, for twenty years one of the outstanding Episcopal
institutions in Tokyo, has rendered during that period, but especially in the
crisis created by the September earthquake, is shown in the following official
letter from Viscount Goto, M inister of Home Affairs in the Yamamura
Cabinet, to. Dr. R. B. Teusler, Director of St- Luke’s :
HOME OFFICE
Tokyo, October 8, 1923.
Dear Dr. Teusler:
I wish to express to you my deep appreciation of the promptness which
you and your staff showed in erecting an emergency hospital and restoring
your services to the people of Tokyo.
Dr. Beard has informed me of your anxiety concerning the future. He
asks me whether the Japanese Government, speaking for the Japanese nation,
desires the reconstruction of St. Luke’s Hospital, and the enlargement of its
services according to the plans set forth in our correspondence last winter.
That question can have only one answer. In this great crisis it is a hearty
“Yes”. As Home Minister and President of the Board of Reconstruction,
I would sincerely welcome the rebuilding of St. Luke’s and the extension of
its services to the people of japan. The needs of our suffering people are
very great and the sooner you open your doors to receive them, the deeper
will be their gratitude. ,r
Yours Sincerely,
[VISCOUNT] S. GOTO.

or th e Lihurch Dchools:
Your letters have come and are coming to me every day, and are
making me very happy.
I do appreciate every one and would, if possible, answer all, but
if I did I would have to give up all my other work.
The splendid spirit you have shown and the assurance of your
joy in anticipation of your mite boxes makes me know my soldiers in
the Church Militant will go over the top without a slacker in the line.
The little girl who thought my name was Bishop “Attic”, my little chil
dren who fed the pigs in Advent; my little boys who will sell sacks;
my little friend who thinks she will make and sell candy but doubts
the wisdom of giving up candy, “ ’cause her best customer would be
gone” ; the children at the Church Home, and every child, both old and
young. You are all children to me because I am your very old Bishop.
I want to thank you for your letters and to tell you that I am hoping that
Easter, 1924, will be the best we have ever known, and I want you to
remember all during Lent that on Good Friday our Blessed Jesus died
on the cross for vou and me. Then on Easter Dav you will remember
that “HE IS RISEN.”
Will you join with me in a little prayer I have said every day
since I remember anything:
O God, for gs much as without Thee we are not able to
please Thee; Mercifully grant that Thy Holy Spirit may in all
things direct and ride our hearts; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
Your old friend,

Why not enjoy the other eleven?
For a dollar the magazine will come to you for a

whole year—twelve issues as good as this one, and
as helpful.
It is a Churchman’s duty as well as his privilege to
learn of the work of his Church in this pleasant and
interesting way.
Surely every Church home should receive the official
magazine of the Church, especially when so much
is given for so little.
Any reader will concede that The Spirit of Missions
is growing better as it grows older. Every member
of the family will find something to attract and
interest.
And imagination fails in the attempt to assess the
value to the Church of such widespread knowledge
of what the Church is doing in all fields of service.

A Bequest to the Church
