...Japanese hates war in general, and the present war in China in particular, more passionately than Dr. Toyohiko Kagawa, Japan's No. 1 Christian. The war has stalled Kagawa's co-operative enterprises, has almost completely halted sales of the many books from which he financed his work and his modest home life. Last Christmas U. S. Christians raised $1,000 as a gift to the myopic, soft-faced little Japanese. Last week Miss Helen Faville Topping, Dr. Kagawa's devoted American amanuensis, was circulating among his friends a poem, To Tears, which he wrote to voice...
...undeniably rising. Wisconsin passed a law last year requiring courses in co operation in colleges, high schools and normal schools. That old Boston cooperator, Edward A. Filene, recently gave $1,000,000 to assist the establishment of co-op department stores. Japan's No. 1 Christian, Cooperator Toyohiko Kagawa, completed a triumphal tour of the U. S. a fortnight ago, preaching the gospel of co-operation to hundreds of thousands of rapt churchmen (TIME, July 6). The Kansas City Star was already warning the country that a co-operative system would be the "next New Deal rabbit...
...down the land for the past six months, crossing and recrossing his path, has gone Dr. Toyohiko Kagawa, No. 1 Christian of Japan. Nearly turned away from the U. S. by Federal immigration authorities in California because his eyes are infected with trachoma (TIME, Dec. 30), this soft-faced, gold-toothed Japanese scrupulously obeyed special Public Health Service regulations laid down for his evangelistic tour. He traveled with a doctor, declined to shake hands with anyone, never entered a private home, made sure that linen and table utensils were sterilized after he used them. Last week Kagawa was in good...
...with a badge reading "Messenger" and for the first time in years was an active member of a Southern Baptist Convention. Full of talk about Socialism and Communism, Messenger Norris was loudest in announcing that he was going to spike plans to have a Fellowship Meeting addressed by Dr. Toyohiko Kagawa, No. 1 Japanese Christian (TIME, Dec. 30 et seq.) whom Dr. Norris attempted to bait in Rochester, N. Y. last month. The Southern Baptists easily squelched the Texan. As a demonstration of Baptist solidarity - though neither convention discussed merging during their sessions - the Fellowship Meeting was presided over alternately...
...Manhattan last week Dr. Toyohiko Kagawa began a four-day visit in which he was to speak 17 times. To interviewers Japan's great Christian explained that his causes, labor organization and cooperatives, represent "practical Christianity." Exulted the Christian Century: "It is about as certain as anything can be that as soon as the business forces of the country wake up to what is happening with this growth of church interest in co-operatives they will loose a blast which will make their complaint against Roosevelt's mild economic experimentalism sound like a Schumann-Heink lullaby...
