been organized at the Steveston

I have never read such hypocritical nonsense in all my life.

As a representative of a Christian mission, surely he must be
well acquainted with western, or
Christian civilization. What right
has he to call the “kettle black?”
Perhaps he should come back to
Canada and clean up this house
first before trying to clean some­

He calls Shintoism and Buddh­
ism heathen. I ask Mr. Yoshida,
“Is Christianity 'lily white’ as
any other religion?”
Quote—"May your reading of these

Christian legacies of Canada and
cause you to pray more intelligently

I certainly will pray more
'intelligently and fervently’, but
not for Japan but for you, Mr.

out the slightest regard for this holy
institution, which we Christians hold
so dear.'*

The “good” Christians are de­
creasing in this country, the false
propaganda that more people are
going to church is nonsense, with
an increase in population the
number going should rise propor­
tionally’', but this is not the case.
(For any proof please write the
Dept, of Statistics, Ottawa, not
to some church organization).
Mr. Yoshida refers to the “long
working hours”—10 to 12 hours.
Here in Montreal there are
'sweat shops’ where immigrant
workers work just as many hours
if not more and even work on
Good Friday and Christmas. Per­
haps Mr. Yoshida should come
here to Montreal “to appreciate
the benefits of Christian social
reforms which he might have
taken for granted in “this Chris­
tian country.”
Mr. Yoshida refers to Idolatry,
Alcoholism, Vice, and Postwar
Materialism in Japan. False gods,
heavy drinking', vice, and materi­
alism—Canada can be proud to
state that it can keep, up and
even pass Japan in these ‘sinful’
wavs.
By now I presume that my
point has been made. I profess
to be a Christian (perhaps not a
good one), but articles like the
one that appeared in your paper
make me ashamed to call myself
a Christian. This is just the kind
of hypocrisy that is killing
Christianity in this world today.
If people think that Christianity
cannot be killed, then they better
look twice because that is exactly
what is happening.

THE JAZZ BEA T
By HOP
ODD ENDS: “Japan’s Chang­
ing Face”, a two part documen­
tary in “The Twentieth Century”
series, showed coffee shops in Ja­
pan featuring Jazz or Classical
records played over an extensive
high fidelity system. Apparently
for the price of a cup of coffee,
one can sit in comparative quiet­
ness, enjoying his type of music.
The perplexing part is that this
is portrayed as an “Americaniz­
ed” custom. I would be indebted
to anyone here in Canada or the
States who can show me such a
place, a coffee house or restau­
rant that does not blare out con­
tinuously with the “Top Fifty”
garbage of the day. Americaniz­
ed? The second part, titled “The
New Generation”, narrated by
Walter Cronkite, is set for to­
morrow (March 13th) at 4:00
p.m. CBLT (Channel 6) and at
6:30 p.m., WBEN (Channel 4)

Dizzy Reece, the trumpeter who
