Our Japan Churches of Christ have taken care of their own. Keiko Kimura, the faithful

of Tetsuaki, Minister of the

Nakaburi

Church, Os^a has had

a

two-year battle against

reast cancer. When they learned about the need, churches throughout the land

contributed

to

p share the

burden.

At first she

received

a

kind

of Chemo-therapy and finally submitted

t

urgery. Throughout the ordeal gifts came in to assist them. The last we

heard she

is

now

o

way to recovery, thanks to the

prayers of all who

rallied to

help.

Here

is

a

quote

from the Quarterly, Japan Update,

April,

1991*

On

January

10th,

the

Se

High Court of Justice decided that it was unconstitutional for any government official in

the

emperor or the prime minister to

go

officially to

the

Shrine Yasukuni

Shrine)

and

or for any government office to

make

financial contributions for ceremonies

conducte

t the Shrine.

This

was

based

on the

fact

that the Yasukuni Shrine was

declared

a private re

body

after

World

War II. Yasukuni

Shrine

is a shrine of Shinto to

honor

the war

dead

Many persons and companies in Japan are rich

in

this world's goods.

Yet

so few of them

tried to unearth the 'riches

in glory by

Christ Jesus'. Blessed are the souls who have

it and are

generously sharing

it

with others. ,

have echoed,

We have .just

However,

About the time

all paid off, the Mach

Section

will come

to

move

our

over

twenty-five

feet

and take

away

of our 3i780 square foot lot. They are convincing us that

the

roads they

will build

should

the value of the

have left.

Our

Junior High Classes

presented the

drama

of

The

Good

Samaritan at our Christmas pr

gram.

Many of our friends have been asking why we Americans are s o anxious to reach out t

assist

other

nations such as

Kuwait and Saudia

Arabia. We

were reminded

of

an

incident that

happened

years

ago when

we

were

in Kagoshima City.

Five hundred

homes

were wiped

out by fi

one cold

night,just

two

miles

from our home. We talked

with

a

neighbor

lady about how

terr

it was. I asked her where

we might take cloth ing or blankets

or

money to share

with

the

hom

less. The lady replied, Oh, we need

not

worry

about them. They are in a different ward fr

us.

Remembering this experience I thought how very necessary the Samaritan story is and ho

it needs to be repeated again and again in this land.

Did you know

that...Mrs.

Evelyn

had

damage
