    ship, which sails from yokohama on February 17, 1956. We should
    in Seattle about March I.
    Another reason for the delay is that Kikkewa San plans to studv in the
    States. It is slow work securine: all the papers she needs. I would
    rather wait for her to come with me than for both of us to have to
    travel alone.
    While I am hero I am keeping busy. Thoroj ore elvrays Bible classes to
    meet. Just festerday two high school girls came inquiring about a high
    school Bible class, I am continuing v;ith lessons for the seminary
    girls. They are making fine progress and are beginning to play hymns
    nicely. Our meetings at Utojima ore being well-attended. A fW weeks
    ago we started a very sample English Bible class formlddle and senior
    high school people. We are using a pupils' book for the first grade.
    The high school students are learning the memoi'y verses. That is a little
    too difficult for the younger ones, but they read very well, V/e use
    the memory verses for the lesson teaching. So far they have ]earned to
    sing "Jesus Loves Me" and "Fishers of Mon" in English.*
    very sad experience. The "woman who Invited us to begin
    and in whose home v/e have our meetings is very ill v/ith
    ors have givon her a very short time to live, Ihis

    The Joto Church with which I hove been working for the past five years
    had a successful S-day tent meeting in that area this week. A number
    of new people were contacted for the church. The tent was v/ell-filled
    each evening. Bemember this church and Ueno San, the minister in
    your prayers. *
    We are sorry we did not get our calendars made again -fchis year. We
    did not expect to be here so long. When we discovered that we would
    be, it v/as too late to get anything done. Both Kikkawa San and I v/ant
    to v/ish you a very happy holiday season. We will be looking forv/ard
    to seeing many of you within a fev/ months.
    In the Master's service,
