(He also does the follow-up from this program.)In July we receiveda letter from theFar EastBroadcastingAssociation offering to broadcast anyJapanese language programs we produced free.This meant that we would be on the air by shortwave from Manilla and on AM in Okinawa. It alsomeant our two children'sprograms Let's Sing ,and Let s Worship , could be broadcast alongwiththe Calvary Calls program. All three programswere released the first of October i n Man il la andin Okinawa. Calvary Calls isheardonSaturdayA.

Martin Clark,president of Osaka Bible Seminary, we vwote theJapanese government asking if it would be possible for us, as Christians, to own and operate anFM Broadcasting Station (by law religious groupsare prohibited from owning AM or TV stations).

Bro. Sugano came to America, following hismilitary service, to study at Eugene BibleCollegeEugene. Ore. where he was graduated in 1927witha Bachelor of Arts decree. Upon his return to Ja -i n he worked with tne addenfamily establishng churches, night schools and kindergartens.Later in 1939. when Mr. an d M rs. M ad de n ret i redf rom the fie ld he c on ti nu ed t o work with Bro.Harold Cole who had ar rived on th e field in1937.

The Japanese-American war forced the Colesto retorn to America in 1941 leaving the work inOsaka completely in the hands of Bro. Sugano.Theyears following were filledwith heavy responsibility andereat persecution. Christians throughout the land were pressured by the Japanesegovernment to join th e United Church and to bow be -fore the picture of the emperor in worship. Asthepersecution increased Bro. Sugano watchedthe Christians of the Asahi Church leave one byone until he atone was left. The governmentforced th e close of the church in March 1942whereupon Bro. Sugano resolved that thoughthechurch closed the Kindergarten should not. Hereasoned that as long as the kindergarten wasopen he had some access into the homes for Christian witnessing. By taking a teaching position ata high school. Bro. Suganowas able to earn hisliving expenses and keep the kindergartengoinguntil June 1945/ On the 7th day of that monthAmerican bombs destroyed all mission buildingsincluding the church and kindergarten.

Often duringthese dark war-daysBro. Suganowas sorely tempted togive upbuthesaid. When-everit seemea I wasgoing to fade awayspirituallyand physically by theviolent storm of persecution or temptationGod always whispered and encouraged me with the words of the hymns. StandUp, Stand Up for Jesus and Onward ChristianSoldier .

Personal sorrow added to th e hear taches theSuganos suffered. In1944they received wordthattheir only child, a son Ichiya, who was servingwith the Japanese army in NewGuinea, was miss-injg near Hollandia. Yearshave come and gonewith hope rising and falling while Ichiya s fate isreported as still unknown.In April 1947 the Suganos again welcomedHarold Cole to Japan. The property which Bro.Suganohad held was transferred back to Bro. Coleand plans were begun for reconstructing the AsahiChurch. .When I saw the sight of the new buildingI was bursting with great emotion said Bro. Sugano. It looked like a dream.

Since the war Bro. Sugano has served as a trustee of Osaka Bible Seminary aiding the mission-

Cherub Choir SponsorsThe Youth Group of the Town and Count ryChurch of Chr i s t of North Sacramento, Calif . ,Carmichael) have just recently voted to becomesponsors of the NCSACherub Choir. This meansthey have pledged to send 10.00 each monthfor the supfwrt of these little singers. Each childin the choir receives 25 yen(about 70) each timebecomes to rehearsal and recording sessions. Our

'oreis' or financial gif ts to the choir average about 8,00 a month. We use this plan of small paybecause it keeps us from being obligated to themas we would be if it were strictly voluntary singing, and it puts us in a position to lay down therules for rehearsing and recording). The 10.00given by the Young People of the Town and Country Church covers this expense and helps with thechildren's music supplies.

c u ^ s T f ^ T s m m vMariinB. Clark,?Presi'dent-Osaka Bible Seminary I'am grateful for the opportunity and privilegeof being the first guest writer for this column ofTHE CUE SHEET edited by EXIE FULTZ in theinterest of Nippon Christian Broadcasting Association. This policy of a guest editor ial in such anews letter is to be t ommendcd. It i sanindication of the splendid relationship among the servants of Christ overseasworkingindependently ofany over-head organization, and particularlyhere in Japan.

The G re at C omm is si on is known t o Chr is ti an sin varying degrees, but it can be cited by mostof them as the reason for going into all of theworld to preach the gospel. I would like to emphasize one phase of that commiss ionas thethought for this editorial. The chief objectivein any one of the five statements of this commiss ion is to conver t m e n to Chris tIt is to be noted that Jesus did not refer to anyof the methods used by the farmer in order tobring about the harvest. It can only be assumedthat Jesusexpected the farmer to useevery available and propermethod to accomplish his purpose.If a Japanese farmer were to use the methods ofsome of mywheat-farmer friends of Eastern Oregon, there would be no room left to farm--theirmachinery would cover it all. We are expectedto use every available and proper means to accomplish our objective which conforms to our

own abi l i t ies and convict ions .God has led me into the work of training preachers in a Bible College training program. OsakaBible Seminary is an arm of God's people totrain Japanese preachers and Christian leaders.Osaka Bible Seminary isone of the most importantmethods of propagating the gospel.There are four major methods to this end ofconverting men to Christ. Of course, the first andmost important is the personal preaching of thegospel. The second most important isthe trainingof others to do this preaching. Those thus trained

have two most important media bywhich to dotheir preaching--Radio and Printing Each ofthese four is a tool which assists and complimentsthe others in accomplishing the chief objective.It has been by privilege to work closely withthose associates with radio work here in Osaka.hppn mv hope from th e beKianing that th ePBi&iy collegk.pj.ogr^^ programcould be-co-OKliftated Into a cT3s T y1flftTr te aTn ofservice, for pur Lord theo^ftYt^frrry toexpress my thanks to Exie FuUz forthis opportunity to state my sincerest hopes forNippon Christian Broadcasting Association.

Inugai. We re happy because the y are happya n d we a re t hr il le d t n a t two mo re fine Christ ianyoung people have sought Christian mates inorder to better serve t h e Lord. Our d i s t r e s scomes from the fact that Inugai san's gain isNCSA'sloss. Tsukikohas served long and faithfully in the mission and has made a neat contr ibution i n to th e radio work. We U have heruntil f a l l and, with Inugai San's permissionmay try to keep her a few months more u n t i lsomeone else can be uained to take her placeReallywere veryglad for all fourof these youngfolk and feel that this is all as i t should t c .

We've heard, though, we don t yet have thedetails, that two other young ladies who he Ipus have been willing tai^ets for Cupid s arrowsOur soloist on the Calvary Calls program hasmarr ied a n d the announcer for t h e cmldren sprograms has become engaged . Since thesegirls only come in for recording sessions theirmarital status will probablynot effect programproduction. To them do we wish every happin e s s .

THE LOVEROF SOULS, our Lord Jesus Christhas also beenwooingand winninghearts to Himself . Miss Takako Nishikawa surrendered her sto Him this spring at the convention in Waka-yamaken. Takako is the second in the Nishi-Kawaf a m i 1y to become Christian. The firstwas Shinpei, now a student a t San Jose BibleCollege, who was baptized in 1955. We praythat Takako's life may always be filled with joyand blessings from God. We pray that she maybe a winner of souls. May she find among thoseshe wins other members of her own family.
