...with manners and dress in keeping. Anyone would know at a glance that he is a person of importance and distinction whether met in laboratory or drawing-room, or on the tennis court, where he takes his regular exercise. I hope you will publish this accurate description as a partial atonement for your objectionable...
...Boston, there is a glorious opportunity to "turn the rascals out," to elect a man of vigor, honesty, and political intelligence. The Boston decision will be one of the closest in history no matter which way it goes.

Never in good health, he contracted tuberculosis several years ago. Forced to rest, he nevertheless dictated three books. His partial blindness comes from trachoma contracted in the slums. One eye is gone. To read he must use a powerful magnifying glass. Eleven years ago Kagawa founded the Friends of Jesus, an order resembling the Franciscans which now has 1,300 members. In 1929 he started the Kingdom...
