we begin to think that perhaps
we have led too sheltered a life
that we hardly know any of our

summer meeting of the British
"Council of Churches was told by
Dr. Toyohiko Kagawa, noted Ja­
panese evangelist, that the Em­
peror Hirohito who is regarded
by the Japanese as divine is
studying Christianity.
The Emperor is being taught
by the Empress who is being in­
structed in the New Testament.
Kagawa described to the meet­
ing the conflict in Japan between
Communism and Christianity. He
said that there are fewer Japan­
ese Christians now than before
the war but that a Christian re­
vival is underway.
He is currently in England on
a six-month evangelical tour and
is to speak at the World Chris­
tian Educational Council confer­
ence in Toronto in August.
