W. B. Trites, the Philadelphia
novelist, was praising the London
bobby or policeman.
“ The bobby is always tall and
strong and straight,” he said, “ with
a pink and white complexion and
the politest, gentlest manner in the
world.
“ What is the difference if the
bobby’s ideas as to history and geog
raphy and current events are often
a little confused? That only makes
him the more attractive.
“ I was in London during the fat
young shah of Persia’s visit to King
George. One afternoon in Picca
dilly I heard a roll of drums and a
fanfare of trumpets, and a splendid
troop of household cavalry dashed
into view. They escorted several
state coaches.
“ I turned to a gigantic young
bobby and asked:
“ ‘ Officer, who are they making all
this to-do for?’
The bobby touched his hat and an
swered politely:
“ ‘For the king o f Shah, I believe,
sir.' ”

In and out among the hundreds o f
small Islands in the Sea of Jnpan a lit
tle white ship threads Its way on a nev
er ending cruise of Christianity. It is
the Church of the Fukuln Mam, and It
carries the gospel message to thou
sands who could not be reached In any
other way.
The ship, like the Itinerant preacher
and the circuit rider of the old days,
makes port in lonely out of the way
places. It dispenses a hospitality that
might well he envied by American
churches with better advantages. Na
tives flock to hear the messages deliv
ered on its deck.
The Fukuln Maru Is the only floating
Baptist church In the world, and It Is
regarded by members o f that denomi
nation as one o f the most unique ef
forts of the Christian missionary move
ment. For years it was commanded by
Captain Luke Bickel, who recently
died, and now the Northern Baptists
are endeavoring to And a captain-
preacher who will take his place.
There are 33 churches o f the Baptist
faith in Japan, with a total member
ship o f 3,651. Plans have already been
outlined, however, for the building o f
15 new churches Immediately and later
to erect a church In every center of
Baptist work.
“The people o f Japan are ready to
listen to the gospel,” a recent report of
the field survey committee of the
Northern Baptist Convention says.
“ Their faith In the old religions Is
broken. But the gospel must be pre
sented to them by men o f their owu
race who are competent to present It
In a strong, Intelligent way. We must
have thoroughly trained Japanese lead
ers and pastors who can command at
tention.”
Careful consideration is being given
the housing o f the Christian church In
Japan so as to win the respect o f the
people. “ A rented store In a side street
does not command the respect o f the
Japanese any more than It does o f the
Italians In New York,” the report
states. “ Our fine Institutional church
building, the Tabernacle In Tokyo,
ought to be duplicated at every impor
tant cetter, and attractive, dignified
houses of worship should be erected at
every other point.”
The Baptists are endeavoring so far
as possible to develop complete Inde
pendence o f the Japanese churches, un
der their own leaden.

The “Ford Educational Weekly”,
a film put out by the Ford Motor
Company has earned for that com
pany the largest circulation of mo
tion pictures In the world. Ford
films are run in 5,238 theatres in the'
United States each week. They are
also distributed throughout Cana
da, Europe, Asia, South America,
Africa, Australia and many other
islnnds.
The Lord pictures are viewed by
more than ten millions of people
in motion picture theatres each
week. But they are also in de
mand outside \ of the theatre.
Churches, colleges, the Y. M. C. A.,
public and private schools and ev
en many of the country’s largest
penal institutions find Ford films
particularly valuable because of
their high moral and educational
value.
Many reels of Ford films showing
how certain special war materials
were manufactured have been se
cured by government officials to
serve as a part of the national rec
ords in Washington.
