Parliament, within which imimbers were discussing: the .question 6r China, .there stood a big. tent,, fronted y&nd flanked by many bright-'colore Japak ese banners. Through the . flaps clime the sound of a man's .voice, pleasant, resonant, and powerful. Tue voice was exhorting people to come to .God and be saved. The correspondent of . The Associated Press, who was on his way to the Diet, stopped at the entrance of-theHeht' A little group -of smiling," welcoming Jap anesewere there. "Who is that man speaking?" v was asked. t "Why, don't you know?" came the an swer. "That's Kimura, the Billy Sun day of ; Japan." . At the same moment the notes of a Christian hymn sung in chorus, filled the " great tent " and bursting without caused hundreds of passing people . to stop, listen and inquire. They" were in formed that it was all a part of the great Christian evangelistic movement now under way throughout Japan, and that Seimatsu Kimura, the young reviv alist of "Japan, friend. jand student- of Dwight Li.' Moody, was conducting the Tokio meetings. , . . . 'Bhe picture was much the 'same'as American revivalist meetings with the added interest by the rich -colored flow ing kimono, the black hair of the Jap anese women, .the occasional clatter of the wooden shoe, and the mairy-hued Japanese decorations. ; The music ceased. .Then a Japanese with regular handsome- features, med ium in height, rather stockily bUilt, dressed iri European clothes, stepped forward from his cjb-workers on the platform and began to talk in Japanese. He began quietly, butsoon his voice rose ajid his face changed ar becomingn decided.'"" I'm ' going to the Moody above the platform and read it both in Japanese and English, v "Christ .for the citizens of Tokio! The citizens of Tokio for Christ!" "Harken to the words, my brothers. Harken to the WOrdS. mv brothsra anH aiatara 2Hy aim is to convert to Christianity everyone or the 60,000,000 souls- in Ja pan today. Ie believe in sudden con Versions. . Come here now. and give ne your hagd as an emblem that you nave accepted the faith." A number of people walked up to the revivalist and accepted Christianity. Then there . was more music and the correspondent was introduced to the Bankey of. the Tokio revivalist move ment. He is called "Vio" Sakai, be cause he loves the violin and as San key was . singer for Moody so Sakai is the player for Kimura. -: The, 'following day the correspondent was told by the revivalist himself some thing of his life and something of his hopes for the future. Seimatsu Kimura, who is known by his American friends as Henry Kimu ra, was born in Japan about 40 years ago. "I was the son of a wine seller," he said,, "and when I was a boy of 16 I was kicked out of my house. I sold newspapers to earn enough to eat. At the age of 16 I was converted to Chris tianity and somehow, since then, life has gone on. happily and fruitfully. I think, as I told Dwight L. 'Moody one day, that it is a , case of Philippians.' 4-19. 'But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory Jay Jesus Christ.' " "I was one of three children," he went on, "and of my brothers, Stishiro Iwamura (adopted by the Iwamura family) is now preparing for Sunday school service by studying at the theo logical -seminary at Hartford,. Conn. And I would like to note my other brother and my father and mother have been converted. "When I was 19 years old I went to the United States to learn how to win souls. Dwight L. Moody was holding revivalist meetings in South California and so big were the crowds that I hid a hard time trying to hear him. But I said to the big policeman at the door: 'Look here, Mr, Policeman, I have come 5,000 miles to hear Mr. Moody and you just must bet me in.' , "That was how I first met Mr. Moody. I stayed close by him and when he left for the North it was I who ' carried his satchel. Mr. Moody was astounded to And me following him onto the train and was more as tounded when-I told him that I was going with him. I told the great preacher that I wanted to become an evangelist. I. asked him what school I should go to. I said I had asked two people and they had given me different advices. Mr, Moody said: 'If you ask Ave people you will have five different advices. There is only one being who can advise you truly and that is God.' And I said .to Mr. Moody at once: It s he went to the United States, stopping at Honolulu long enough to convert over a thousand Japanese to Christian ity. "There is one thing that I have learned from you Yankees, you Amer icans," delared Mr. Kimura, as a pleas ant aside, "and that is your-'sticktui-tiveness.' " It was in Denver that Kimura first saw Billy Sunday. "It was the first time in 25 years that I had such an ex perience," he said, "I wept six times in one hour on hearing him." He join ed Sunday's meetings at Des Moines and during three weeks attended over fifty meetings. Kimura came back to Japan in April of this year and began to take part in the great evangelistic campaign. He has been talking to big crowds and every week for the next year and a half .is filled with engagements. When he preaches he often uses a blackboard upon which he 'writes in Japanese or Chinese characters the texts of his sermons. This method, he said, made things much clearer to everybody. Sometimes, when his- voice fails he uses a megaphone. He found that preaching two or three times a day in the vigorous manner he uses was very tiring so he goes to: bed every af ternoon to prepare for the evening sermon. "I try to make things as possible for everybody," he. said, and I think nobody ever goes to sleep when I'm preaching. Espe cially, I'm after the backsliders. I'm after them all, everyone of the 60,000, 000 people." suit was said to be much below expec tations. It was freely predicted in the finan cial district a few days ago that the average bid for the 50-year issue, which comprises $46,000,000 of the whole, would be at or around 103, while the serial issue was expected to average at least 102. Only a few of the small opened today came within range of the estimates, one of the most important of the "all or none" bids made by a leading banking syn dicate falling short of these figures. To a large extent the disturbed financial conditions in Europe were re sponsible for the low bids. WEEKLY WEATHER BULLETIN. Showers Followed by Fair Weather and High Temperatures.

Then turning to the young Jadies, he ', shouted: ' "You, with' your ; pretty , ki monos and pretty faces, think you, per haps, that you are saved by these things 'alone?

Then , he went on- hammering home truths to 'the 'different sections Of his audiences, gesticulating violently, at times, moving nervously back and forth upon the platform, jumping up ' and . down, crouching to his knees and es pecially using his wonderful black eves and his exnressive face;- to -brine home the thought - he was - trying . to communicate. " ? Suddenly he" flung his right arm up ward towards ' a sigh" which' rested Institute, at Chicago.' " Mr. Kimura was getting interested in-his reminiscences and was punctuat ing hfs story with some of his expres sive gestures. "Mr. Moody looked up at me and said: 'Young man, how much money have you got? I answered: 'Mr. Moody, I have got 35 cents.' The great evangelist looked me over with a good deal of astonishment. Well!' he ejaculated, 'how do you ever expect to study two years in Chicago on 35 cents?' And I said quickly: 'Mr. Moody- Philippians 4-19.' : "Mr. ' Moody smiled broadly and he sang out to one of his followers: 'Please remember this young man. He Is going to Chicago to study When I got to Chicago, I found a scholarship awaiting me.' " ( Mr. Kimura came back to Japan and proceeded to have six years of evan gelistic work with the Japanese peo ple. He told his friends to give him -'the most broken-down old church in Japan.' There were only, thirty-five members when he started, but there were three hundred when he finished. Then he resigned to take up bigger evangelistic work and in June, 1914, New York, June 29.
