When a Woman Sing.
"A woman in the city, which was
a sinner." Luke 7-37.
Sin makes a black mark when it
touches a man's character; but it
makes a still blacker mark when
it touches the character of a wo
man: For the same reason that an
eclipse of the sun is more notice
able than an eclipse of the moon.
Because of their bright back
ground, the darkest spots in the
universe are the black spots on the
sun. And for the same reason the
black spots of sin on a woman's
character are the darkest spots in
the moral universe.
When sin gets a woman in its
clutches, the imprint of sin's slimy
fingers is almost impossible to wipe
out She becomes the victim of a
social ostracism that never shows
any mercy, and which is applied
just because she was found out in
her sin.
But God does not place any heav
ier penalty upon the sinning wo
man than upon the sinning man,
even if society does. Society has a
double standard of morals, one
standard for women and another
for men. And unjust as this is, yet
no woman can escape this injustice.
In this respect society is cold and
relentless, and will forever shun the
fallen woman.
Nathaniel Hawthorne strikingly
illustrates this in the "Scarlet Let
ter," in which he tells of a young
woman who was compelled to wear
a scarlet letter embroidered on the
breast of her dress as a symbol of
her sin. There that letter stood
out, glaring and conspicuous, tell
ing to all the world the story of the
guilt and shame of the wearer. It
was a signal to everybody that she
was a bad character, and was to
be shunned by good people. And
that is the way society always deals
with a woman when she goes
wrong. She is branded with a
scarlet mark of shame and disgrace
and shut out of so-called polite so-
oiety.
Harold Bell Wright, in "The Call
ing of Dan Matthews" tells of how
this unfair, unjust and un-Christ-
like thing creeps into Churches and
of how it drove a great man from
the ministry, while shielding one
who should have himself been cast
out from the society of decent, hon
est Christian men and women.
And so the doors of the Church
and the hearts of the Church mem
bers should be open to all who
suffer; all who mourn; all who
have sinned and come short of the
glory of God, lest we hear some day
the Master of men say, "let him
that it without sin among you cast
the first stone." And it is thru the
Church and work of the Church
that the fallen of old earth are to
hear Christ say: "Neither do I con
demn thee; go thy way and sin no
more." That is to be exemplified
in the Church in the very commun
ity in which that Church is; in
practical, everyday, kindly showing
forth of the spirit of the Man of
Nazareth who said, "Come unto me
all ye that labor and are heavy la
den and I will give you rest." In
this approaching holiday season of
the year let not only our Church
doors swing wide with welcome to
all who will come; but let also our
heart's doors open In real friend
ship and helpfulness.
Do you have a Church home? If
not we invite you to come and wor
ship with us. You will enjoy our
Bible School; there you will find an
interesting class: You will find help
and uplift and inspiration in our
services of worship. Come and test
the welcome of this warm, friendly
Church. For the coming Lord's
Day, the services are as follows
At the eleven o'clock hour, the ser
mon topic will be, "Looking Unto
Jesus." At seven-thirty P. M., the
Women's Missionary Society of the
Church will present their annual
program. This will be a beautiful
and very Interesting program. You
are invited to attend these services,
Come!

made It in less than an hour
through most of the 6,000,000 In To
kyo. There were thousands of bi
cycles, rickshas, carts, trolleys, etc.
not to mention the other cars, and
by gosh we went through all of
them without so much as slowing
up from 45. I expected any minute
to have to get out and sponge up
some poor soul that had ridden in
front of us on his bicycle. The
driver didn't seem to mind, how
ever, and kept merrily on his way
with his foot to the floor on the
throttle. The funny part of It Is
that all driving Is the same and the
only speed to travel Is as fast as
you can go. Our return trip was
made with a little more certainty
and permitted me to get a full
night's sleep. We came back in
brand new Packard 8 sedan at
cost of only $1.60.
Low Exchange Hindrance.
After that first evening I was pre
pared to meet anything that might
happen. The next morning we
went around to the steamship com
pany's agent and saw some of our
clientele. As I mentioned before
the money exchange Is very low,
so we were practically prohibited
from doing any business. I think
that even with that against me, I
did do a limited amount of business
and we will some day do real things
over here. Wo met some of the
most responsible men In Japan and
all of them told us they were Inter
ested but didn't feel that now would
be the time to buy. Everyone was
THURSDAY, DEC. 1, 1932.
very nice though, and very soon
we learned to bow and scrape when
we met them, the same as they did
to us. Politeness is the key word
in the Orient . . .
That afternoon we went to To
kyo again and visited the commer
cial attache and got some figures
from him that will prove helpful.
We then visited the Emperor's pal
ace, etc., and went to the main part
of the city to enjoy the sights. I
will mention In that respect that
they have some very fine shops and
cafes. Each merchant has his shop
In the finest order and Is only too
willing to do business with any
foreign buyer. They have silks,
satins, chinaware and anything else
that one could hope to buy in the
States.
Lauds Train System.
After staying all night In the Im
perial hotel we took the train to
Kobe. It is a distance of over 400
miles and we made it in less than
nine hours. It Is one of the finest
trains I ever saw and passes thru
the heart of Japan. We passed thru
several cities of over a million peo
ple and were never more than fif
ty yards from a rice field. It cer
tainly is no joke that the Japanese
know how to farm and it is no
joke that they have to. Every Inch
of available ground is cultivated
either by hand or with very crude
implements. The common tea farm
er's plot is much more attractive
than the average garden in Amer
ica. Terraces are used when the
level ground gives out, and when
they give out in the future God
knows what they will do for a liv
ing. As a whole Japan is very
mountainous so geographically
these poor people are handicapped
to a degree that is appalling to the
western mind. The farmer over
here doesn't have a total income of
more than 500 yen a year, and that
is a real fight for existence. Of
course his whole family works in
the rice of tea field or whatever he
happens to raise, so his labor Is
cheap, and he makes his own food.
We were fortunate to be here in
the middle of the harvest season.
Each straw of rice Is cut by hand,
tied in bunches, and allowed to dry
on a frame work. When It is dry
it is either harvested by means of
a flail, or if the farmer is rich, by
a small hand thresher that will har
vest ten or fifteen bushels per day.
The train, as I mentioned before,
was very fast and very efficient.
They wouldn't even blow a whistle
in passing through a town the size
of Portland. We stopped exactly
30 seconds at Nagoya and that Is a
town of over a million. One could
set his watch by the train sched
ule and be within 10 seconds every
time. We arrived at Sannomiya
station in Kobe at 5:55 and that is
just when it was scheduled for. It
was just a few moments from there
to the Oriental hotel, also a very
fine hotel. At all of these hotels
and cafes they serve very fine
American food at a ridiculously
low price. I had a very fine tur
key dinner for about 1.40 yen or 35
cents. In any hotel at home It
would have cost $2 at least and
that would be conservative.
Many English in Business.
In Kobe I met some very fine peo
ple and made some contacts that
will prove valuable, I think. One
finds more Englishmen in business
over here than Americans. Inci
dentally I would much rather deal
with a Japanese importer than an
Englishman. At least that Is my
impression now, but when it comes
to collecting the money it may
prove to be something different.
We had lunch with the steamship
agents again. All these agents are
very fine people. The head man In
Kobe is the son of Peter Kerr of
the Kerr-Gifford people In Port
land. We had a real Japanese
lunch. The first course was eel In
sauce, the second an assortment of
vegetables in sauce, and the third
was fried (or cooked In some man
ner resembling frying) shrimp and
several kinds of fish. All this Is
washed down with hot saka, the
national drink. Queerly enough
this small restaurant was spotless
ly clean, and one looked around to
find a nice electric stove and a G.
E. refrigerator. Oh yes, I forgot
to mention that we had rice In the
meal, too.
That is about all of Interest that
one could write In a letter. We
went to Osaka by taxi, about 15
miles, and there took the boat and
sailed. All these districts are
crowded one upon another so that
one can't tel whether he Is in a
town or not. Rice Is grown right
along-side a factory and all the
buildings are just a few Inches
apart so that no space is wasted.
I think this Is one of the most won
derful countries In the world and
would give anything to live here
for a while.
