The Week's Sermonette Pure Religion By REV. D. J. HOWE (Pastor First Christian Church) Text: James 1:27. The one imperative need of an time and all people Is religion the right kind of religion. There are nu merous religions in the world and to each one of them should t applied the best test. "By their fruits ye shall know them." There la one outstanding religion which bears this test as no other; the Christian religion. The author of this religion is JeB.a Christ whose birthday will soon be celebrated all over the world. In Him and His teachings we find a solution of the world's problems. The charter for His new religion la the great com mission, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation." In this gospel message are found all the teachings needed to make any life abound In good works and those who carry it to the ends of the earth are the incarnation of peace, love and good will. 'Wherever these heralds have gone true life has begun. Following this guiding star through the years would take ions the line of all progress for humanity. The fruits of Christianity are abundant; our schools, 4 all - benevolent Institutions, science and all its wonderful contribution are the ootgTOwth of tnia religion; but the richest fruitage 1 teea la the transformation of human heart out of which are continually flowing the streams of unselfish services to all who are La need..

Chopan Solo, "The Messenger of Peace," Scott Mrs. F. W. Gaw II ;l - - ---asa M Japanese Minister Comes To Work With People Here Rev. S. Niwa Finds Salem People and Weather To His Liking Someone sent word that this page wasn't onto Its business un less there was forthcoming a bit of a tark with the new Japanese minister. So the girl who oper ates the department typewriter, hurried herself out to 1055 Hunt street, there to meet Rev. S. Niwa, who has just come here to con duct the Japanese mission work in the Lake Labish settlement. The initial "S" stands for Seiichi, the first four letters being an ap proximate equivalent to the Eng lish "see". Niwa is simple ; the first two letters are simply the English "knee." And Mr. Niwa, himself, small, trimly dressed and most polite, speaks very careful English, though a little less clear and dis tinct than does his wife. Mrs. Niwa came to this country when about two years old and has lived here since. The minister, who ap pears scarcely older than a col lege student, says his English is Japanese English. He studied English for eight years in Japan before he sailed for this country 10 years ago. Seiichi Niwa was born In a rural district in Japan, but was brought up in Tokyo, where he attended school and later Aoyama college, a Methodist in stitution at Tokoyo. Coming to this country, he spent his first year studying at the Southern Methodist university In Dallas, Texas. Then he went In turn to Bakersfield and .Riveride, Calif., and two years ago to Frorin, in Sacramento county, where he was in charge of a Japanese mission. He was married in California five years ago, and has a three-year-old son, Carl, and a two- i year-old boy, Francis. He Is a member of the Methodist min istry, belonging to the California conference. The Japanese mis sion here is under the California conference, but directly the Sa lem council of church women is sponsoring the interdenomination al work which he will de among his people here. Twenty-five women's organizations in Salem compose the church council. Rev. Niwa expressed himself as par ticularly delighted with the eager ness with which these groups work toward helping the Japa nese. One of the early things to greet Rev. Niwa on his arrival in Sa lem was the Oregon downpour; but with the rain he seems really pleased. Anyway, he said, he really liked the Oregon climate. Speaking of climate differences song in the Air," (Speaks), and Robert Huston will plsy a violin aolo, "Ber ceuse," (Godard)). Sunday school st 9:45, E. D. Roseman, Supt.
