I Aji address by Mrs. Sidney R. Kep ner. of Pottstown. Pa., president of the Missionary Convention of tlie United Lutheran Church in k America, and a} pageant, "The Day." took the place of tlie regular vesper service at St. .lames! Lutheran Church on Sunday evening. In the pageant, which preceded the address, the parts were taken by the ladies of the church, assisted by a choir of fifty voices, a total of seventy eight young ladies taking part in the pro duction. under the direction of Miss Con stance Cline. The pageant depicted Japan and her endeavors for a great fu ture. The Splnit of Reconstruction, represented by Miss Ruth Dry. ques tioned Japan as to wlmt her future will be. Japan, represented by Aliss Helen Patterson, calls up Filial Piety, Patrio tism and Education and shows what they have done fqr her part, but she is shown how th?Se virtues have not elevated the women of Japan, but have led them to, do evil. Japan is then told that the Christian faith alone can help her reach the heights she fain would reach, and she is then surrounded by Christianity ami her attendants". Probably the pret tiest part in tlie pageant was the forma tion of an electric cross, composed es the attendants of Christianity and their electric torches. I The young ladies taking part in the pageant Were, Filial. Piety. Mrs. L. A. F ; sher; Education, Mrs. Charles A. Meis; Patriotism. Mrs. H. (J. Gibson: Christiahity, Mrs. L. A. Thomas; six Attendants of the 'Age; Three Daugh ters of Japan, thirteen Attendants of Christianity. Airs. Kepner was then introduced by Rev. L. A. Thomas, and outlined to her hearers the plans being worked out by the women to build a $175,(X)0 school in Japan for the purpose of giving thegu-ls of .tapan a Christian education. At present, Mrs. Kepner told her au dience, OS per cent, of the people of Ja pan can read and write. This is on account of the compulsory education laws of the country, which compel chil dren to go through the primary schools. However, here is where education al most entirely ceases, for the higher schools can accommodate only about one child out of every thirty, and in the pro gram of expansion which the Japanese government is carrying out for its schools, the girls are not taken into considera tion. Tlie government jts overlooking the fact that no nation can rise higher than its women, and u|*on them depends the moral life of the nation. In edu cating of Christianizing a Japanese man, only one person is educated or convert ed. while the education or conversion of a girl or woman means the winning of an entire family. Tlie missionary forces of the United Synod of the South long ago recognized this fact, and ten years ago sent Alisses Bowers and Akard to tlie Japanese field, with the idea of later building tip a school for girls. Events since then have pre vented the maturing of these plans. These young women have seen the cry ing need of the women in Japan, where they have been denied tlie privileges and benefits they receive in Christian nations. It is said that in -Japan the traffic in women and girls each year amounts to the huge sum of $(»0.000,000. If a man gets into debt he has the privilege of selling his daughters or sisters to pay off the debt he owes, and this is a pro vision that is taken advantage of most readily. The women of the United Lutheran Church in America have pledged them selves to 4he building of this school in Japan within the next biennium, and have already .started an aggressive cam paign to bring this work to a successful culmination. A congregation that taxed the capacity of St. James ChuiVh was present at the services, and it number were turned away on account of the lack of space. Visiting Their Mother. Airs. John A. Sims has returned from a visit with her daughter, Mrs. Paul Parks, of Durham. She was accompanied home by Mrs. Parks, who will spend sev eral days here. Other daughters of Airs.
