him a book on “Nanga” art.
I may lend money to friends,

very stingy. There are, 1 think,
good reasons for .this niggardly
behaviour. During the war, for
example, one of my friends who
had been shipped to a road camp,
begged me to send some books
because life there was so mono
tonous.
Since I understood his
plight, I sent him several books.
I had not expected him to return

the war ended, the books were
gone, perhaps torn to pieces but

The
friend had gone to Japan through
the. repatriation scheme.
Some of the books of fiction
which I had 'lent to my friend
included some priceless copies of
Natsume Soseki’s “Wagahai wa
Neko de aru” (“1 am a Cat”)
and “Bocchan” (“Master Dar
ling”). These books, were the
first by Soseki which I had read,
and represented an important
part of my youthful experience.
Thus they had a great sentimen

In another incident, a friend
dropped into the office, and see
ing some books on the shelf, bor
rowed them. Soon after, he had
left for Japan, apparently for-
getting that he had borrowed
them.
Now, if I wish to read
them, I must order them from
Japan. If is, as you will admit,
very inconvenient.
Some of the books which I had
“lost” in this manner- are now
out of print, and are not procur
able except at the library. One
of these was “Canada and the
Orient” by Charles J. Woodsworth, which has disappeared
from the office, probably trans
ferred from borrower to borrow
er, or transported to Japan.
Since this book is an important
reference book, I wanted to buy
another copy. But it was out of
print, and none of the book stores
in Toronto had a copy. Finally
I had to resort to borrowing a

he said to me, “Lend your wife,

but never, never lend your books.
You will eventually get your
wife and car back, but books will
be kept by the borrowers, for
gotten, and lost. It is a misguid

I think it is sad to see people
who do not appreciate the value
of books, or do not pay, atten

lovers.
Books become priceless
possessions, but other people do
not seem to regard them as such.
I don’t care, then, whether
people call me a “book-monger”.

Largest Japan Church
Now Being Built
TOKYO.—A new church —
largest ever built in Japan—is
under construction in Toxyo with
funds raised by church members
and the general public. It will be
long to the Protestant faith.
The two-storied building, de
signed bv Tetsuro Okada, a lead
ing architect, is large enough to
accommodate 2,000 people.
The construction of the ultra
modern
church
materialized
through the efforts of Rev. T.
Obara of the Yodobashi Church
of the United Church of Christ
in Japan, supported by his
parish.
The new church building is said
to cost in the vicinity of $70,000
about half of which has already
been raised by church members,
including young Sunday School
students, and many others. “All
the cost will be covered through
donations,” said Rev. Obara.
The. Yodobashi Church was
once destroyed by wartime bomb
ing, and the church members
have since been holding meetings
in a shaky “portable” church
which can only accomodate about
300 persons.
