Work In Japan
Minister Says Orientals Have
Learned U. S: Process of
Making Liquor East Is
Suspicious of Us.
American whisky and beer shipped
to" Japan is making missionary work
difficult there,' Dr. Frank H. Smith
of the Methodist Foreign missions
in Japan told delegates at the Ne
braska Methodist conference at the
First Methodist church yesterday
afternoon. ' . h
"The last thing I saw "when I left
Yokohama were large boxes labeled
'American brewery machinery, han
dle with care,' " Said Dr. Smith. The'
Japanese have learned the process
of manufacturing liquor that was
used in this country. " v
Discussing difficulties between the
United States and Japan, Dj. Smith
said, "thase who know Japan best
trust her most.":-' Japan looks at
America with as much suspicion as
this country looks on Japan, he said.
"The situation between the two
countries is filled- with dvnamite,"
continued Dr. Smith. "Yet Japan is
not a military menace. The young
men of Japan do not care for mili
tary careers as they drdleighf years
ago. The Orientals are going to
dominate the world eventually, hence
the wen-k of Chirstianizing tnctn is
of greatest importance.
Wine and Women Responsible.
"Wine and women are numbered
among the greatest obstacles to the
work of the missionaries there. Japan
also has jts labor troubles! for it is
becoming an industrial nation, and
bolshevism is being combatted vig
orously by the government.
"Japan :s also suffering from the
high cost of living. The price of
rice has advanced many times in the
past few years."
Dr. Smith predicted that universal
suffrage would be in effect in Japan
within the next five years, possibly
much ' sooner. He explained that
universal suffrage as understood
there does not permit women to
vote, however, but simply all of the
men. He also predicted that Japan
would eventually become a democ
racy. pr. Schermerhorn, president of
South Dakota Wesleyan college, ad-,
dressed the conference Wednesday
morning. VA preacher should be a
man first and a preacher second,"
Mr. Schermerhorn said. "The men
and boys should meet the minister on
the, street and know they were meet
ing a real man. A minister should
be masculine from, head to heels.
Want Virile Ministers.
"In the old days tt, would ave
been shocking to see a preacher take
part in athletic sports. I think a
preacher should be just the kind of
a fellow to be quarter-back on a
foot ball team. Jesus was one of
the most masculine , and' virile of
men. Ministers are inclined to be
lieve their own methods are best
and to exalt themselves. We should
lay off the brag and work to serve."'
i'Dr. J. W. Enbrce, superintendent
braska conference, asserted there
was a wave of dancing and "ither
worldly force's sweeping the coun
try." -Dr.
George Elliott of New York,
W. S. Strkyer Elected ,
Head of Associated
Retailers of Omaha
W. S. Stryker otohe Douglas Shoe

events, he said.
