A mofithty report by the Mark G. Maxty fanily to the friends

of the Kyushu Christian fAission Kanoya, Kagoshimaf Japan

Travel in the first two months have taken me to many places of /iprecious memories and in every place into renewed fellowship with friendsof the past and into the hearts and homes of new friends. This is the joy Pthat gives me strength to continue in spite of physical weariness and Ion-liness for my family. At least X held up well until the end of Februarywhen I had to go to bed with the flu in spite of my wishes otherwise.

Last letter I failed to mention the wonderful day-before-Christ- j GREGORY - 16 YEARSmas service at Shiloh church up in Indiana, Wally Gardner minister. Going on from there and into cold,snow, ice, sleet and rain with a little sunshine in between I made a total of 49 presentations and addresses in: ILLINOIS: Red Brush church, Louisville; Clay County 5th Sunday Rally, Bethlehem church; Flora; La Harpe and Erie. MICHIGAN: 3 days at Greiner Ave church,Detroit;Great Lakes Bible College, Lansing; Sumner; and Ballard church, Sparta. IOWA: Union; WISCONSIN:Footville. MINNESOTA; Redwood Falls; Crystal^Wew Hope church, Minneapolis; Men's breakfast,Minneapolis; Truman; Madelia; Mid-Winter Conference, Minnesota Bible College. INDIANA: Medora;Brownstown; and Columbus with Pauline speaking; mission rally at Garrett. OHIO: New Holland,Washington C.H.;Hollowtown church. Highland County; Faith-Promise Rally, West Side church, Hamilton; New Burlington; Eaton; and Madisonville church, Cincinnati. OKLAHOMA: 3 days at EastTulsa church; Mamosa Heights church, Oklahoma City; Midwest Christian College; and Glencoe.KENTUCKY: Shively church, Louisville; Holy land pictures at Mt. Byrd church, Milton and RotaryClub, Shively.

Pauline is making her witness felt in the churches and ladies groups in Louisville.Faith was elected to the Junior Beta club of her school on the basis of her fine work. Greg,now 16, has proved to be a good student and has been active in the gospel team of Shively church.Hope goes her happy way in school and has mastered the arts of roller skating and bicycling -not without bruises and torn stockings of course. Walter and Mary have been able to visit usfrom Cincinnati and we all helped him celebrate his 22nd birthday in January with sukiyaki.

Here are a few of the questions most often asked me as I travel.:'VHEN ARE YOU GOING BACK?" Or it is asked with a different emphasis: "Are you going

back?" Yes, we are! We plan to finish up in Louisville on June 6 in order to attend Walter'swedding June 7 in Murphysboro, Illinois. After that for two months we will speak and make ourway west. We depart San Francisco, August 15, 4 p.m. on the SS President Wilson, the same vessel we sailed in August, 1950 as we began our missionary service. We will be traveling withthe Harold Sims family of Tokyo and our two older boys will share a cabin. Below the water linein economy class, the fare from San Francisco to Yokohama will be $430 each for Greg, Faith,Pauline and I and $215 for Hope. That is a total of $1935 for the ocean leg of the journey only.Furlough is vital to our well being but it is expensive - as is the total missionary work.

"IS TIBBS MAXEY YOUR FATHER?". I always say "yes" but not too many people believe me.To straighten things out: R.Tibbs Maxey of Stepstone, Ky. and Maude Mason Bryan of Fulton, Mo.had nine children. In order, they are: I) ISABEL (Mrs. Isabel Dittemore of Taiwan. 2) TIBBS

"WHY DO YOU SPEND YOUR FURLOUGHIN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY?" They say ifyou let a Kentuckian loose anywhere in theworld he'll make a bee-line for his nativehollers and hills. Kentucky does have family ties. Two brothers live here. NorthVernon, Indiana is only 65 miles away. Itis central to many of our supporting churches in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and offers easy access to the rest of the nation. Pauline's family in northern Ohio isnot too far away. Five Louisville churchessupport the Kyushu work regularly. Theyhave helped us to get settled here eachtime and really made our family a part ofthe Christian community here. That meansmuch to us. Missionary children, especially need to know that they have a placev^ere they have roots; where they know others their own age and are known by them; one spot andplace in their native land which they know as "home". Three furloughs in Louisville have madethis city and this house at 7321 Browns Lane, Pleasure Ridge Park our "home" in the U.S.A. Butwhen we use the word "home" unconsciously I think we really mean Japan.

The deepening crisis in Viet Nam and the brazen seizure of the Pueblo has fastenedour country's attention on the Far East. We should never have looked away. Three times since1941 we have sent our sons to die in Asia. I believe necessarily so, for the future of our country and of the world will be be shaped for good or ill in Asia. And the future of Asia willultimately be shaped by Japan and the nearby free countries of South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong,Philippine Islands and Thailand. The giving of the gospel to these nations is a task of the utmost urgency. It ought to have highest priority.

But our people are looking the other way. ^To Africa for example. In the last 15years we have added 166 missionaries and 26 recruits to five countries there which have a population density of 25 people per square mile. In the same time, Japan and the free countriesof Asia mentioned above have added only 30 missionaries and 5 recruits. These countries have apopulation density of about 400 people per square mile. The ratio for missionaries is: 4.5 forAfrica to one for Asia. For recruits; 5 for Africa to 1 for Asia. As for finances I hazard thatthe ratio is $10 for Africa to $1 for Asia - considering the medical and educational thrustin Africa.

I can. write this without rancor or jealousy of any kind. I rejoice for Africa andfor preaching of the gospel there. But I plead for Japan, and for Asia. I submit that our priorities are out of balance; our spiritual understanding out of joint. I pray that our churches andour young people will unite in taking the gospel back to Asia fjm ^ence it came - before itis too late. IN HIS SERVICE,

;e figures taken from Missionary Prayer List, No. 20 count only those missionaries now serving who were not there in 1953 and ignores the number of" missionaries who have come and gone.* )

A moothly report by the Hark G. Mttey Unily to the friends

^CywsAii Christian (Aission Kanoya, Kogoshiratt, Japan

WITH FACULTY AND STUDENTS AT THECOLLEGE OF THE SCRIPTURES,LOUISVILLE

if he wished? Was the U.S. really a country of law and or-= WITH FACULTY AND STUDENTS AT THEder? I was glad I was not in Japan to answer these and more COLLEGE OF THE SCRIPTURES,LOUISVILLEpressing questions at the death of Martin Luther King. _Rightly or wrongly, the Japanese measure the U.S. by the way we treat the Negro. The questionsthey ask really express a fundamental doubt that our country is as democratic and as Christianas we say. At this point in our history, it is hard not to share in that doubt.

A week in bed with the flu caused me to miss appointments for the first time in raymissionary travels. I learned that even a strong body and a strong will must sometimes fail. Iwas able to get to Atlanta, Georgia for the Thirteenth Annual Georgia Christian MissionaryRally. It was a privilege to speak to 903 people on opening night at the East Point church. Therally had announced a goal of $4000 in offerings and 5000 registrations. They had $4390 in offerings and 6603 registrations. This makes it the greatest missionary rally among our people inmore ways than one.

The missionaries themselves must program, promote and largely pay for another national missionary gathering to which they invite churches and Christians to attend. In addition themissionaries are under temptation to exceed their authority and vote to include or exclude othersIn contrast to this the Atlanta gathering uses only missionaries for speakers; encourages themto use their allotted time to tell about their work; gives a substantial offering to the missionwork each speaker represents; and invites the missionaries to come as both servants and honoredguests of the Area churches. This is the right relationship and this is the kind of conventionI like to attend and support.

It was a year after I had agreed to be in Atlanta and at Missions Emphasis Week atCincinnati Bible Seminary before I discovered that both fell on the same two days. I redeemedthe situation as best I could by flying back to Cincinnati for the last day. Pauline was alsoon the program. We had special pleasure in being there since son, Walter, as president of theWorld Mission Volunte-ers had responsibility for the total program. He presided with assuranceat the closing session and when the call for mission volunteers came, he and Mary Stanes, hisbride-to-be, stepped forward as recruits for Japan. We will look forward to their coming twoor three years hence after Mary has graduated and Walter has continued his studies at C.B.S.for two more years. Patty Likins, daughter of Claude and Evalyn Likins of Japan, along withBob Pelfrey, her fiance', were also among the volunteers for Japan. So we rejoiced for thesefour and for Japan as well.

From Cincinnati I flew south again to pick up my itinerary there: FLORIDA; WestsideChristian, Jacksonville; Winter Park; Eau Gallie; Broad St. church, Tampa; Opa Locka.GEORGIA: Capital View, Atlanta; Carrolton. ALABAMA: With friends at Huntsville & Prattville.MISSISSIPPI: Pine Grove Baptist near Philadelphia; Waldron St.,Corinth. TEXAS: South Palms,Houston. TENNESSEE: First Christian, Erwin. KENTUCKY: Christian church, Horse Cave; and fourmission lectures on Motive, Men, Message, and Method at the College of the Scriptures wherebrother, Tibbs, is president. ILLINOIS: Murphysboro (Home of Walter's Mary). INDIANA: OmegaChristian, Arcadia; Arlington; Mitchell; Tab; Ambia; Burlington; Pauline at EnglewoodChristian, Indianapolis; and Etna Green. OHIO: A one week revival with my brother, Bryan, atthe First Church of Christ, Defiance, Ohio.

It would take several pages just to mention the friends who have received me, sharedtheir cars, their homes, their food and their hospitality and sent me on my way rejoicing. Thankyou each one again. I must mention being with Dr. and Mrs. Harry Poll in Atlanta. They haveencouraged me since I began preaching in Minnesota many years ago. For the last several years

Harry has been fighting a losing battle against cancer but we had a chance to renew our fellowship once more. As it came time to leave he took my hand and said, "The Lord bless thee." Towhich I replied, "And keep thee." Now a short time later he is dead. But his benediction willrest with me till we meet again.

People ;^o are concerned sometimes ask these two questions about the missionary's furlough: "Is travel to visit the churches necessary?" And, "Is it financially worthwhile?" Theanswer to the first one is an unqualified, "yes I" The genius of direct support missions is thatthe missionary reports directly to the churches concerning his stewardship. At the same time thepeople renew their contact with the missionary, get to know him as a person rather than as anaddress in a foreign country, and get to know something of the commission which motivates him.As a treasurer said to me the other day after hearing Pauline speak, "I will never send you acheck in the same way again. Now it is going out with personal meaning and prayer."

This is the way missionary interest is kept alive, renewed and enlarged in the church.No money is wasted in this kind of activity if it is done right. And from another viewpoint,no missionary will be supported indefinitely by a congregation unless he remains in personal contact and unless he shows himself i'n person on furlough. We feel it is our duty to do so and cansay also that it is a joy. It is demanding work, of course, lonely, hard on the body. Also it putsa very heavy burden on the missionary wife as she must rear her family alone much of the time.But the stirring of missionary interest among the churches is a missionary work in its own right.

There is a danger^ of course, that the missionary may find himself well-received as aspeaker and decide that being a full-time missionary speaker in the U.S. is his real calling.No missionary can do the work he is supposed to be doing on the field and spend his time in thisway. The integrity of the missionary must be judged by the time he spends on his chosen fielddoing the job he has told his supporters he is going to do. From my own experience I can saythat is is easier to be a missionary speaker in the U.S. than to hoe my row as a missionary inJapan year after year.

As to whether it is financially sound for a missionary to travel and speak in this way,it depends first of all on the missionary himself. He must plan his trips several months in advance; endeavor to speak every night; group his appointments in one area to avoid long jumps from one part of the country to another; and make efficient use of his time and equipment. Thisis a large order and this kind of preparation is time-consuming.

After that is is up to the churches. The missionary does run into some surprising situations. Offerings are taken on his behalf but not given to him. A leader of the church willsay, "We will be sending you something." Sadly, one learns to doubt this promise. A missionaryoffering is taken and kept by the church. A check for a pre-decided amount is then given the missionary. Or a pre-determined amount is given to the missionary without regard to the miles traveled or the days spent and the messages delivered. This can give one a "used" feeling. Some missionary rallies and faitb-promise programs have no budget for missionary speakers other thanmileage. In my travels I have met the following plans for the missionary: No offering taken,nothing given; $15 from the church or mission treasury; $25; $35; $50; $100. Or a combinationof a stated amount plus any offering that might be given.

No missionary is in a position to tell a church how much he should receive nor to sayanything about what he does receive. But since we will soon finish our speaking appointmentsI can say this: Travel costs at least 10

in his home room at Pleasure Ridge Park High School.

Our house at Pleasure Ridge has been a.happy home andi^e left it with regret. Many wonderful friends have come to see usthere. Cars with license plates from Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia,Mabama, Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, IllinoisIndiana, Ohio - to say nothing of Kentucky have come to rest in ourdriveway. "Thank you" is a very feeble way of expressing heartfeltappreciation to those v^o helped make this house a home by furnishingit, by visiting it, and by helping us return its aaveral parts backto their owners,

I was not able to pause long enough last month to getout a Linkletter.

iof the Kyushv Christian Mission

Linkletter No. 174

Kanoya, iCogoshiina, Japan

June, 1968

Dedr Christian friends,

"When do you have to go back?", is a question often aaked.In the sense that we are under a written contract to depart for thefield at a specified time, we don't have to go back. We go becausewe want to go and to be orderly this should be done at a specifictime on the calendar. If one has children a summer departure isneeded in order to enroll them in school in early September.

Five years on the field and one year at home is normalfor the Japan field. This can vary to suit family needs. Westayed five years the first term; six years the second term soPaula could finish high school in Japan and four years this timein order to be home for Walter's senior year in Seminary. The Lord wiiiing, the next term willbe five years long. At that time Faith will be ready for college.

One sadness the missionary has is "not being able to share in the big events of hischildren's college years. So it has been a special joy to Pauline and I as we were presentwhen Walter received his Bachelor of Arts (Bible) at Cincinnati Bible Seminary and for otherceremonies of the week. I was glad to be able to share in the happy event by speaking atthe Commencement breakfast for graduates and their families. The Alumni Association grantedWalter a partial scholarship for graduate study.

Sunday evening, June 2, we gathered at the Christian Church in North Vernon, Indianafor Walter's ordination. The minister, Bill Bravard, very graciously made all the arrangements.The elders of the church examined him and shared in the prayers and the laying on of hands. Ipreached the ordination sermon and brother Tibbs gave the charge. Naturally, Pauline and I wereproud to see our son pick up the torch and carry it on.

The same week, on Friday, June 7, I united Mary Stanes and Walter in marriage at a beau-tiful service at the Christian Church in Murphysboro, Illinois. Mary is the wonderful daughterof Mr, and Mrs.Joe Stanes of that city. We can not thank them enough for their kindness to usand our family during this time. My mother came and for the first and only time during this furlough all the six living Maxey children were present for a reunion in the Stanes front room. Theonly sad note was saying good-by to Mother the next day . She is now 85.

Walter and Mary will be spending the summer at North Vernon where he will be assistantminister. This is where I was minister 1941-44 and where Pauline and I began our married lifealmost 27 years ago. This fall Mary will continue her Junior year at C.B.S. and Walter will studyin the graduate school. We anticipate their coming to Japan in two or three years.

While Walter was crossing three big bridges in his life, Pauline and I were going backover one we had crossed many times before - packing for the return to Japan. I can't think of anyjob that so drains the mental and physical strength as reducing an entire household to a few suitcases and walking out the door with them. The big items go easily but when you come down to thedeparture hour and dozens of little items remain you become desperate for a place to put them.

At 11 a.m. June 5 a truck picked up our freight. It will be shipped out of Cleveland viathe Great Lakes and the Panama canal. Believe it or not, this is cheaper than trucking it to

and then by ship to Japan. That night the Shively church gave us a "Bon Voyage" that^ally tugged at our heart strings. Most of the night and the next day went for the last big push."Hie children came home from school with their report cards and we were on our way. We arrivedin Louisville the first day of school and left on the last.

Some may think that it is hardly worthwhile to set up a home for only nine months butfor our part we can not think of anything more important for our family's well being than this.

church has given the children a happy church home and- full opportunity for spiritual erow-th and partxcipation. The three children have had good teachers, a satisfying school experLceIS quite important. Greg was given the "Panther Award" for i = u,- I , .

The VM stands for VernonMiller who had Invited us up to see this beautiful and unique mission field ofwhich he and his family are so much a part,

Pauline spoke 15 times including three special 'teas* at Truman, Minn,Pierre, S.Dak. and Lumby, B.C. I spoke and showed-'e;y.des a total of timesincluding four 2-hour showings of the-Holy Land sllde^;- Speaking this manytimes on this kind of schedule is ^Ih no sense a vacation but we have had thegreat joy of meeting old friends, being partakers ofthe kind of heart-warming hospitallty^hat'iBakes._one feel-^ike his mission inlife is really worthwhile. It is a real regret to be a"6i^to mention only theplaces and not to write a full page about each place ano^s^^ person and whatthey have meant to us.

We did take the second week in July to attend two days of the NorthAmerican Christian convention in Cincinnati, our first in many, many years. Weheard preaching with the old time fire; met friends from everywhere; attendedcollege reunions and heard the young people in their Bible Bowl contests - allof which rekindled o\ir .souls. Waiting fx>T an elevator, I saw George Vartenisianwho had been my chaplain's assistant in Palawan, Phillipines 23 years ago. Wehad not seen each other since. Now he is a Christian minister in Pennsylvania.

.^.j^?:^^nigh poinlk for many of us at the convention was the noon missionarvx'^'^banauet^ Max Randall gave a stirring address on the failure of institutionalmissicms to over.JLOOO people. The banquet was mai '^yii',' lyoye'Cer", 5y~CT^73rowding,poor cgb-erlffg, and having it at the top floorto handle the crowd. It is doubtful if therethat would handle the number of people who Mjure. Tickets to the missionary banquettickets to other banquets were going

with only k elevatorsanquet hall in any city

this particular feat-out well in advance while/

Why not make it, then,/an ^tfta^al part of tthe convention instead'of an important but remote side have long felt that a brotherhood thatlikes-to boast of having 1000 m:4|sM^ries with about 600 of them overseas coulduse some of those who are preJ^^ly active on their chosen fields as participants in the convention programritself, In the old days they were excludedbecause of fear of introducing the independent missions vs. United ChristianMissionary Society controversy into the program, ^hat problem is no longer pertinent, Now that a new organization, The Christian Missionary Fellowship, isactive I the problem of organization missions vs direct support missions will bea live issue for many years to come, One result, I believe, will be to keepmissionary voices from being heard in tfte convention. The missionary banquetor similar program will continue to be a popular feature with this organization which has 3,3% of the overseas missionary force having at least one placeon the program,

Personally, I have always ilpttl^d^it hard to be accepted just becauseI am a "missionary" at gatherings ^uffere missionary speakers are wanted whilebeing rejected because I am a J^fffssionary" at those events where preaching,teaching and discussion dn subjects were wanted. Sometimes I wonder justwho I am or what I am. iLJ^lleve, however, that I have come to terms with myself. I will be content be a servant of Christ, seeking nothing and wantingnothing more than that. Resting also in the belief that, after the church,the Individual Christian seeking to obey the Great Commission in whatever partof the earth the Lord's leads him, is \he most important unit in the kingdomof God. Such a servant must seek his praise and his reward from the Lord alone.

After the great address by Lewis Foster on Thursday night, Walterand Mary drove us to North Vernon, Indiana. It was a very real pleasure forPauline and I to spend just one night in their home and an equally real sadness to embrace them in parting at the airport Ithe next morning. Then HowardSchmidt flew us to St. Louis where we got a plane to Utah, We picked up -ychildren and continuedour schedule in the Northwest, ^

By the time you get this we will be^ back- in Japan again^-^Rememberour address in Japan is simplyi KANCYA 893,JAPAN. 'tJa has addedzip codes as of July 1.) And the address which will^always reach us anytime isBox ^9, North Vemon, Indiana ^7265. Let the distance between us make ourmutual prayers more dear. IN HIS SERVICE,

Dear Christian friends, September, 1968

Here we are back in Japan. It is nice to be-X

Our final speaking dates were in WASHINGTON:Woodland and West Seattle. In CREGON: Alberta St Churchof Christ, Portland, one of Pauline's living link char-ches; Southside Church of Christ, Lebanon where I prea- ^he Center of Attention: Megumi Paulineched for a "Week of Inspiration"; and the Week of Mis- Isions at Wi-Ne-Ma Christian Camp, Cloverdale, In CALIFCRNIA at Santa Rosa; Central Christian,San Jose and First Christian, Napa, In HAWAII at Pearl Harbor Memorial Christian in Honolulu.

We were in the U.S.A. 353 days during which we traveled 37000 miles by car, 22500 milesby air and 500 miles by train and bus. In this time I spoke 326 times in 33 states and Canadaat 146 churches, 16 Bible colleges, 16 mission rallies and conventions; 12 Faith-Promise rallies; 2 revivals, 2 Rotary clubs, 2 business men's breakfasts, 1 college commencement, 1commencement breakfast, 2 vacation Bible schools, 4 summer camps, 4 banquets and numerous youngpeople's meetings and Sunday school classes. Pauline spoke 50 times traveling either alone orwith the family. It has been a rich, full year for us and we leave the U.S.A. with warm memories which will nourish us in the years ahead.

Pauline had her birthday August 2nd in Lebanon, The friends there were good to havea party for us both and give us a couple of blankets to ward off the cold winter nights in Japan,My birthday was August 16 but we had to drive over 700 miles that day going from Oregon to California so we kinda let it slip by unnoticed. We got news later that Paula's baby girl wasborn in Japan August 9, They named her "Megumi" , the Japanese word for "grace" and "Pauline"after her grandmother. The full name is Megumi Pauline Yanagimoto.

We have had three furloughs ending each time with Missions Week at Wi-Ne-Ma in Oregon,To my mind this is the outstanding camp mission program in the U.S.A. A single Bible lecturergives a solid Biblical study each morning setting the right atmosphere for the day. After thatthe program revolves around 5 guest missionaries who have speaking opportunities every day inpanel sessions, chapel, reports, senaons and campfire devotions. It is the only camp I knowwhere the missionary can appear long enough and often enough to really share his convictions onthe vital subject of missions. This use of the missionary is in m'arked contrast to other campswhere the program uses local ministers and missionaries give a single report and otherwisewalk across the platform introducing themselves into the microphone. Generally speaking amissionary has not been used very well nor has the missionary used his own time very well ifmuch time is spent in this sort of inactivity.

As the day of departure nears it doesn't seem possible that everything will get donein time. That is the very time the Lord supplies his servants to help meet the deadline. AtLebanon, Oregon Wyman Summers sold us our last minute needs at cost and the Gail Orr familymade a home for us during the week and let us do our packing in their garage. In Oakland, theHome of Peace, a haven for all missionaries sailing across the Pacific Ocean took care of finalpacking and shipping arrangements, Bro, Merrill Sniley of Portland, Oregon bought our car andcame down late Tuesday, August 13 to drive it away. It had served us well and we hated to seeit go but we will use the money to replace it with a Japanese car later on. Kenneth Hansonof Long Beach was in the area on Army reserve duty. He chauffered us out to Napa, Calif, forour last speaking date shared with the Harold Sims family. The Leo Berg fanily came up tosay farewell and after hauling our luggage to the ship headed for San Luis Obispo with ourlittle luggage trailer in tow just as they had five years ago. John Miles Baker of San Clementehandles our displays and publications. He came up for the last day and our display and projection equipment went off south with him. Finally at 3.30 p.m. Thursday, August 15 a fine group

of Christians from area churches gathered around the Suns fanxly and our family the ship s^^lounge commending us to God's grace in hymn and prayer. At 3.45 the last call for All Ashoreand at 4 p.m. our ship the S.S. PRESIDENT WILSON sounded its whistle and we were on our way.Within 45 minutes we had sailed under the Golden Gate bridge and in a few more minutes werein the open sea. It was the smoothest passage we had ever had. Two years ago Harold Sms andI had agreed that we would try to go back to Japan with our families on the same ship, we wereablB to do just that. Harold and Lois Sims and sons, John, Bobby and Danny with our family of5 made for happy fellowship all the way across the Pacific. We ate together in the dining roomand on the twoSundays at sea we gathered in Sims' room after the general worship service toobserve the Lord's Supper together.

Avery pleasant break in the voyage was the 15 hours we spent in Honolulu August 20.Nephew, Brian Giese, spent the summer there doing missionary work. He and many other Christianswere on the dock with leis or orchids and the traditional greeting of'Aloha. At noon themissionary families on Oahu gave us a picnic followed by a swim at the beach. That nightHarold and I spoke at the Pearl Harbor Memorial church - our final church service in the U.S.A.Again that night the Christians gathered in the ship's lounge and joined in prayer and praisebefore sailing away into the night.

TMs was our fifth westward crossing of the Pacific. In late July of 1945 I sailedfrom San Francisco on a troop ship landing in Manila over a month later. In December, 1946I came to Japan by air from the Philippines. Pauline came to Japan from Seattle by ship toYokohama in June, 1947 ending a two year's separation. Ever since that time the sound of aship's whistle has been the saddest sound I know and saying "farewell" an emotion that cuts toodeep to be talked about. In 1950 we came to Japan as missionaries bringing Paula and Walteron the same ship, the PRES. WILSON. That was voyage #16 but this time it was voyage #159. 1955we flew across the Pacific to Japan. In 1963 we came across in a freighter with the Paul Prattfamily. The time on the ship is a time of transition, a time of adjustment, a time of gettingcaught up on your reading and writing and arithmetic (financial reports.) We did all that plusa little relaxing, too but at the end of two weeks we were ready to get off and get into ourwork again. We arrived in port on schedule but strong winds prevented us from entering theharbor for another 24 hours so it was Friday morning, August 30 before we were allowed toland at Yokohama.

A1 Hammond, Andy Patton, Stan Buttray, Bob Warrick and families met us, helped usthrough customs, patiently hauled our baggage to the railroad station, had a grand supperfor us at the Patton home in Tokyo before we took the 9 p.m. train to Nagoya, Kiyoto Yanagi-moto was on the platform to meet us and in a few mcnents we were at home again embracingPaula and having the thrill of holding our little grandaughter, Megumi Pauline, in our arms.I won't try to describe it - but it's a mighty pleasant sensation - that much I can say. Westayed in Nagoya with Paula and Kiyoto through Sunday evening going to church with them onSunday and preaching in the church there where Bro. Yuse is minister. It was a very,very happyweek-end for us.

Sunday night we took the train on south to Osaka where Martin and Evelyn Clarkare making us at home for a few days while we wait for our freight to come in and while wehelp get Greg and Faith established in their school and dormitory life at Canadian Academyin the city of Kobe, 30 miles or so on south from Osaka. The sights and sounds and smells ofJapan stimulate us. The knowledge of task to be done challenge u^ We are counting on yourprayers to sustain us. IN HIS SERVICE

Linkletter No. 177 October, 1968

Dear Christian friends,

Since we have lived here longer than anyother place it was only natural that our hearts began to beat a little faster as the train neared Kanoya on Tuesday, September 18.

Twenty minutes before Kanoya the train passedthrough the town of Kushira and right in front of thechurch there. Even though the train did not stop,the Kushira Christians lined up in front of thechurch and bowed to us as the train went by. Thisthoughtful gesture touched a tender spot and throughmisty eyes we reflected on the depth of the fellowship we enjoy.

Home at last! Bro. Yoshii of the Kanoyachurch led the welcoming group at the Kanoya stationIn a few minutes we were at 10925 Nlshihara cho sitting under our own "vine and fig tree". Mrs. Yoshiisent up a delicious hot supper. We ate thankfullyglad to be among our Christian family here again.

Ryoichi Matsumoto Koichi Honmori

Welcome Group at Kanoya StationThe freight we had sent from Louisville, Ky. [on June 5 came via the St. Lawrence seaway and Panama.It finally arrived in Japan-September 9 and cleared customs on hfSeptember 14. (Wonder where it was all that titfie?) While waiting ' * * ^ ^we got Faith and Greg settled at Canadian Academy in Kobe; spoketo the missionary group in the Osaka area and also spoke to thefaculty at Osaka Bible Seminary. Two young men from Kagoshima arestudying at OBS this year: Ryoichi Matsumoto of Koyama and KoichiHonmori of Kajiki. We had a happy reunion with them and let themknow again of our great expectations for their future service ^as Christian witnesses in Japan...

At last it was time to say "Good-bye" to Faith and Greg atschool; "Thank you" to Martin and Evelyn Clark for letting us make jfe4their home our home while in Osaka; another brief visit to Paulaand Kiyoto and new grandaughter Megumi in Nagoya and then by plane ^ IbMand train back to Kanoya. On our arrival we had completed a jour- Sney of 87000 miles, 22 countries and 15 months. We could hardly Mwait to unpack those suitcases and put them away for a long, long &

Getting settled is taking longer than expected. We hadwalked off and left our house the way it was so now we have a lotof sorting to do before we can unpack completely. Pauline hasstarted 2nd grade for Hope every morning and spoken to the combin-ed ladies groups of Kanoya and the leper colony. Cecil, Joy 6c Shiriey Smith

September 23 is a national holiday and the day the churches of this area hold their annual convention. In spite of wind and rains of a nearing typhoon, we had a full house and ahappy reunion. I preached morning and afternoon. The preacher's had their monthly meeting thatnight and Tuesday. The joy of those two days was worth the trip back. Tuesday night we battened down for a typhoon. It huffed and puffed and went the other way. We have begun to visit thechurches to see how we can make ourselves most useful to them this term.

As you must know, this mission effort ismuch more than Pauline and I. First thanks must go tothe churches, groups and friends who pray for us andshare with us. Next we honor those who piay a vitalpart but are seldom mentioned. We are happy to enclose a picture of Cecil and Shirley Smith and daughter, Joy. Shirley Is our new forwarding secretarybut she wanted her husband in the picture, also.Shesays, "Cecil is a very important helping hand in thework, too. Besides helping me with the weekly reporthe makes several stops at the post office each week."Thanks for saying that Shirley. (As Pauline likes tosay, "Back of every great woman stands a good man.")And thank you for being the vital link between oursupporters there and us here - to say nothing of the bank.

Out in Salina, Kansas another Mrs. Smith helps mightily in reducing my office work bytyping letters for me. So if you ever get a letter from me postmarked "Salina" you'll knowwho did it. Don and Virginia were in Japan and Okinawa many years so they have a personal knowledge of and interest in this work.

Family friend since he was in Pauline's Sunday School class in North Vernon John MilesBaker of San Clemente, California helps by taking charge of publicity materials, and book sales.

Katsuo Shimoda & Takeo Ilmuire

Remember, all these people serve without charge of any kind. They give themselves plusl l l-l.This Linkletter is typed by myself. Takeo Ilmure hands it to the local printer for off

set and then gets it packaged, addressed and mailed to you. Besides that he runs the Christianbook store we have in Kanoya and preaches at Kushira. Katsuo Shimoda came to work here as aboy just after graduating from middle school. It is his job to keep buildings, grounds andvehicles in repair. Carpenter by trade he is also tinsmith, mason, plumber, electrician, builder and mechanic by reason of the jobs he has learned how to do. These are our two full-timeemployees in Japan.

I have always liked my name, Mark Gregory, but when I was a boy in school it seemedlike I was the only 'Mark' around. Nowadays, the name is getting the use it deserves. Here Isa name that cannot be shortened and that makes a positive impression when spoken. My Dadreminded me often that he expected me to make sane kind of 'mark' in this world. Perhapssome of my namesakes will help me do that. I divided up my name with our two boys calling one

Walter MARK and the other GREGORY Allen. In Defiance, Ohio' I have a nephew John MARK Maxey. There is MARK GREGORY Han-

sen in Truman, Minn.; MARK Bonine in Vandalia, Mich.; MARKPlunkett in Lancaster, Pa.; MARK Blackmore in Tulsa, Okla.;Morris GREGORY Randall in Lincoln, 111.; MARK Kemper in N.Vernon, Ind.; MARK Cupp in Seymour, Ind.; GREGORY MARKGardner In Rushvllle, Ind.; and now born Sept. 23 in Washington, D.C., MARK Edward Escherlch. I had the pleasure ofmarrying the parents, Ron and Kelko, in Kanoya two yearsago. Naturally, I have a deep Interest in the future ofthese MARK'S and GREGORY'S and my prayer is that they will

Dear Christian friends, ^If change means p^gress, we can report

both. Years ago we start^ out with phone number37^. Since four means y^ath" and seven means"pawnbroker" in Japs^^e these are not very popular numbers, Foreij^ers usually wind up withlots of ^'s and 7^6, We used to have to call theoperator for etve^ number. Twelve years ago we got dial phones and our number became 237^.Acable was lajj^across the and we could dial the capital city direct. That was progress.Last week direct dial equipnenyv^s put in service and we can call any place in the nation ina moment. This ^ progress and;.* time-saver, too. Mow our number is 2-237^, Give us a call;

in Kanoya we had a house in the country on a gravel road and our jeepwas the only private car in town, J^pw.we live in a^ii'stli^ community on a wide cement roadwith fenced sidewalks on each side. The traffic roars by and the big trucks give our house acontinual earthquake. Last Sunday night as we returned home from preaching and foUoTred aline of 20-30 cars winding along the narrow coast road to Kanoya, I had a touch of nostalgiafor "the good old days,"

Tr^ taught o;ir butchermake hamburger on his hand grinder. The price^^was 35^ c^ts a poiind. Electric grinders-toni it out now and the price begins at $1, ^poimj, I'went % the local cattle market the other day and saw a very ordinaryomonSi old

"calf sold for $720, It is enough to drive a man to vhale meat as a daily diet. The priceof household ccanmodities rose over 2^ in the month of September alone. So if you still have itin your mind that. Japan is a cheap place to live, imw is a_good time to up-date your thjjikijigV

I love the month of October. Clear, warm days & crisp nights plus the rice harvestin full swing make it hard to beat. The schools have their annual athletic meetings to^rtiich all parents and families come for the days activities. Ample supplies of Japanese delicacies are shared at noon. We enjoyed attending the one at the Christian kindergarten nextdoor as the guests of Bro, Yoshii.

October is also the time for the week of evangelism by Osaka Bible Seminary. Wehad a fine team of two students, one teacher. Prof, Kakano, and Pres. Martin Clark. They heldmeetings ("dendo") in Kushira where Bro. limure preaches and at Tarumizu i^ere Bro. Doyamapreaches, pinnnPtH the meetings themselves and provided food and housing forthe team. 1^0 mission provided round trip transportation from Osaka, All of us were gladfor the idiSto^bra^tsa^ppllcation the team made of what they had been learning and teaching.Attendance was good and decisions for Christ are expected, Evelyn Clai^ came with her husbandand she and Pauline enjoyed each other's company for the week.

has always been a major interest for us here because it suppliesthe well^qulppeH ministry needed to preach a a highly literate Japan. Jg^sesgft nn the bodyof=councillors and pledge at least $100 monthly support, $60 of this pledged by thi^.e groupsfor leadership training in Japan,

Believing that the churches of Japan have not let themselves be known, for thelast two years we have advertised in the South Japan Newspaper. For $58.05 each month ourad goes into 2101000 hcmes with detailed information about ch\irches, locations, services and averse from the Bible. The last time I was at Kajiki church a young man was there because hehad read the advertisement and sought out the church.

We al ($33.33) with ClaudeLikins of | for fifteen mimites everySunday morning. The program preaches the gospel, givesdetails of each church, one each week, and invites listeners to enroll In a correspondence course. Paul Prattproduced the correspondence course and carries it on nowwith the foUow-mp program. This has resulted in somewell-instructed converts.

churehefl receive salary assistance for theiriH-^niatiy^biit all have the ideal of f^ill self-support andare gradually attaining that goal. In one sense they areself-supporting in the sense that they handle til theirown business affairs, pay all their own expenses,and fully plan their own programs. Like all churches everyirtiere,they have their strengths, weaknesses and their individualpersonalities. Another church receives salary assistance from Paul Pratt, Three churcheshave no located preachers and are served each week by two of the preachers and myself.

Each of the preachers are'their own mer^, .. I consider myself as one of them and standready to be of help as,' lidw.'^wfieli^aM^if^hey it. Our fellowship is a happy one builton the basis of a common faith and purpose. We meet together the fourth Sunday of each monthfor an hour of worship, an hour of special study or book reports, an hour for lunch and twohours for carrying out mutual projects, like the summer camp. One of our number has a serixaag^

in his family with a sizeable monthly hospital bill. Vflien they learned of iteach minister volunbtrily pledged to give an amount rou^ily equal to one day's pay to helppay this bill, I was proUd-of-tbem. _And the prayer meeting we had together about this problem gave us the blessing of **the tie that binds."

Since land and buildings are a major hurdle for any congregation in Japan we havea standing offer1'^** of any church in the area given for this purpose. TheKanoya church is w!)w'"'ffirB!iJig hard to accumulate enough money to relocate and rebuild. Itsmembers gave 50,000 ($138,88) last month for this in addition to their local expenses. Wewere happy to give an equal amount and will continue to do so till the goal is reached.

The Christian Center offers another way of extending Christian influence. The lastfull year I was in Japan the book store sold $320 woi-th of Bibles and $5300 worth of Christian

literature not only here but all over Japan, Unfortunatelyeven this amount of business will not show a profit, SinceKr. Ximure also takes care of the Linkletter and all mailingfrom the bookstore it helps even out. Our classroom servesfor camp courses, leadership training and weekly EnglishBible classes. Always we hope for more effective outreachand our disatisfied with what has been done. We do see someresults and know the rest must be committed to God. In thisfaith we proceed.
