"MANJIRO — THE MAN
WHO DISCX>VERED AMERICA"
Houghton Mifflin ($2.75) transla
ted from the 19th century Japan
ese by Hisakazu Kaneko.
In 1841 a Japanese fisherboy
Manjiro, alias John Mung, was
shipwrecked with his companions
off the coast of Alaska and dra
matically rescued by Captain
William Whitford, a yankee
whaler who shipped out of New
Bedford, Massachusetts. Captain
Whitford brought the boy back
hoirje to Fairhaven, Massachu
setts, where he became a mem
ber of the family, attended church
and school - the first Japanese to
be educated in this country.
He later trekked across Amer
ica and returned to his native
country where he tried to open
his countrymen’s eyes to modern
Civilization, thus paving the way
for Commodore Perry’s famous
visit to Japan in 1853. MANJIRO-
THE MAN WHO DISCOVERED
AMERICA is his story. It is
already a classic in Japan.
Hisakazu Kaneko, (pronounced
Hiss-ah-kah-zoo Kah-neigh-ko),
was educated in Japan and Amer
ica, receiving his M.A. Degree at
Kenyon College, Ohio. He later
studied at Ohio State and Colum
bia University.
After the war he worked for the
Occupation Forces and at the U.S.
Embassy in Tokyo. Compiler of
several English text books and
author of magazine articles both
in Japanese and English, Mr.
Kaneko became especially inter
ested in Manjiro’s story both as
one of high adventure and as an
episode in early American-Japa
nese relations.
This story is familiar to the
Japanese and with the publication
of this little volume by Houghton
Mifflin his adventures will now
be shared with American readers.

Greene. Nothing foretold that she
would become Mrs. General Na
thaniel Greene, friend of General
Washington, the Henry Knoxs,
Anthony Wayne and many other
illustrious soldiers. This is the
stoiy of Nathaniel’s “Caty.” It’s
settings are many and varied, the
frozen hills of Valley Forge, the
brick mansions of Philadelphia
and New York and the decaying
plantations of Savannah. Her
itinerary could very well be that
of the rebels who made up the
most incredible army in history.
The sight of her blue camelot
cloak was soothing balm to the
eyes of Washington’s ragged
forces. Her lilting laughter and
mocking good humor enlightened
the heart of her husband in his
most despairing task as Quarter
master of an impoverished army.
These same qualities endeared
her to all who met her, inviting
the envy of many and causing
tongues to wag.
In her tenth historical novel
Shirley Seifert again instills life
into historical facts, pumps
breath into its heroes. These
heroes are much more real than
the almost too perfect Caty
Greene. A heroine, however, is
created to be admired and the
reader is made to be as charmed
by Catherine as General Wash
ington and as awed by General
Greene as were his troops. He
was a man of integrity and pur
pose, even in love, and this led
Caty to make her one supreme
sacrifice. Shirley Seifert has
done it again.

Of Suffering
Lesson for July 29, 1956
W HAT they did in ancient
times without the mimeo
graph machine it is hard to imag
ine. If a modern church executive
said to his secretary, “Miss Jones,
take a letter; get it out to all the
Christians in Pontus, Galatia, Cap
padocia, Asia and Bithynia,” Miss
Jones would hard
ly know what to
do without a type
writer and carbon
paper at the least.
She might won
der, too, what
Christians in
places as out-of-
the-way as Bithy
nia might have in
common with Foreman
Christians in Asia. However, when
Simon Peter wrote his letter, he
knew what all those Christians
had in common. “Now for a little
while (he meant, to the end of
their lives) you may have to suf
fer various trials . . .’’ Trouble,
trials, affliction, suffering — how
many words there are for it, how
many different kinds of it! St. Pe
ter’s letter, written so long ago in
Greek, now in English has a fresh
contemporary look about it. For
trials and troubles are very an
cient, but they are as new as the
morning paper, they are as uni
versal as the human race.
Suffering and Prayer
Christians in particular are both
ered, when they think about suf
fering — especially their own or
that of other Christians—in two
ways. What is the use of suffering?
and. Why should Christians suffer?
These are the problems which Pe
ter rolls into one problem: What
use is it to Christians, to suffer?
He brushes off one kind of suffer
ing—when one gets into trouble on
account of one’s own wrongdoing.
That is no puzzle. The puzzle
comes when the good man, the
Christian suffers perhaps because
he is a Christian and for no other
reason. One use of suffering Peter
remembered from his own expe
rience. When he was in jail in
Jerusalem, the church held a
prayer-naeeting for him. Some
what to their astonishment, their
prayer was answered. Can we sup
pose that Peter himself had not
been praying? His trouble, in
short, had brought both himself
and his friends to their knees; it
had made them acutely aware of
their need of God, and God in turn
had made them know his power.
Some people make fun of “fox
hole religion”; but isn’t it better
than none?
Genuine Faith
Faith that has never been tested
can be real; but only God knows
it. Faith tested by suffering, when
it endures, demonstrates how real
it is. A missionary in India was
trying to talk to an Indian about
Christ. The Indian, who had just
lost a wife he deeply loved, cried,
“You lead a happy life, every
thing comes your way. If you had
to go through what I go through,
you’d not talk about faith! ” Within
a few months the missionary too
lost his wife by death. At the fune
ral he stood by the casket and
said: “If the man is here who'told
me I had never been through what
he went through, I want to talk
with him after this. Now maybe he
will believe me.” To make the
story short, the Indian did come
to believe as a Christian.
Everybody Has a Heartache
Another use for suffering is that
it can open the heart wide. It does
not always do this. Suffering by
itself has no magic. It is only when
the sufferer reaches up in trust to"
God that anything like “magic”
comes to pass. But when one who
is afflicted trusts in God even
then, he may not have his pain—
physical, mental or spiritual, what
ever it be—removed; but he will
find that he has joined the great
fraternity of pain. His heart, hith
erto in-turned, now turns outward.
He knows the password to every
human heart. For every one has
his own heartache, and those un
acquainted with grief find no en
trance. Your own heartache is the
key to the hearts of all men every
where. Suffering “as a Christian”;
this above aU, as Peter says, is a
mark of brotherhood throughout
the world. The minister in Missis
sippi who loses his pastorate be
cause he says a word of sympathy
lor wronged Negroes; the Indian
who is stoned from the village
well because he has turned from
Mohammed to Christ; the Spanish
Christian who is not allowed to
worship except in forms approved
by the government; the Chinese
Christian who is forced to march
in a parade at the hour of church
worship; do we not suffer with
them? For they are our own.

UNCHANGING !
' .'.'IT;
How different their transportation from ours!
How different their clothing! And yet, their spirit,
their motives, their purpose, their God were the
same.
In a covered wagon on the open prairie, or in a
modern car on a super deluxe highway, God is with
his people, his unchanging love giving them strength.
His Church is unchanging too. For it taught the
same truths, and proffered the same comforts to
those pioneer men and women as it does today.
Yes, God is unchanging. The Church is unchang
ing. Only people, the hearts of people, are incon
stant.
How about you? Don’t you need a power and
strength far greater than yourself? God is wait
ing, the Church is waiting, the people are waiting.
Will you add your strength to theirs and help the
Church meet the challenges of today?
THE CHUHCH FOR AU . . .
AU FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest fac>
' tor on earth lor the building ol
character and good citizenship. It
is a storehouse ol spiritual values.
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are lour sound
reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and sup
port the Church. They are: (1)
For his own sake. (2) For his
children’s sake. (3) For the sake
o( his community and nation. (4)
For the sake ol the Church itself,
which needs his moral and ma
terial support. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your
Bible daily.
