MISSIONARIES IN OLD JAPAN

Karnizawa Is a Resort Where American and Other Religious Workers Gather for Pleasure. Karnizawa, Japan. work and no play tends to make any task grow irksome, is the cry on which is based the establishment of the summer resort of the missionaries to Japan, located at Karnizawa, a mountain resort. Here the American workers find relaxation from their arduous task of conversion

and take on new strength with which to further the conquest. Here sectarianism is forgotten and all unite in having a good time. Perhaps the greatest treat for them is to be able to carry on conversation in the English tongue, after a year of talking with converts in foreign languages. To see this playground reminds one of a typical summer resort, with baseball grounds, tennis courts and croquet inclosures. The women can serve tea on the lawn or veranda. On Sunday all attend services in a nody, the preacher being drawn in turn from the various denominations assembled. \
