Following are excerpts from his talk. The party arrived in Japan on Christmas Day. They were welcomed by the Japanese leaders after successfully checking many packages through customs. Mr . Salonen presented gifts to the Japanese family through Mr. Oyamada, and had an opportunity to speak on our life in America to a local church. One high­ light ofthe trip was Father's speech to the Tokyo members. The Japanese family was very good to us. Father used the opportunity to decide many things . He had meetings all day long from early morning until late at night. Mother said that when he comes to Japan, he just walks into the church and sits down in one spot and doesn 't get up again until it's time to go to the airport. That's almost literally true. It was a very meaningful time for the Japanese leadership because Father spent a great deal of time with them. The first day that we were there, Father called all the members from Tokyo into the theater where the Little Angels were performing; we didn't have a hall big enough to hold them. We went two hours early; he gave a speech to them in that period of time and we were all introduced. Then we had a Little Angels performance for our members only and a small celebra­ tion. In Father's speech, I could see a new dimension to Father's work here in America because what he reported was what he'd accomplished in America and its significance. So even without being trans­ lated everything he was saying, I reali zed that I was already part of that report. And yet it was so important that it didn't just happen for America but that it was a vic­ tory that had significance around the world. Then he gave a speech similar to what he gave to the directors in Los Angeles, saying that he's pushed us so hard to go the way of indemnity. Why? Because he wants to be a great man or to make the Unification Church a great church? It's not that at all. This is the only way for our salvation. Everything that we did, while it may have had impact for him and for the church, was for us. We were in the Unification Church for ourselves, and 4 NEW HOPE NEWS February 8, 1975

The teams, consisting of about twelve people each, filter into five parts of the city , bringing people back to hear a one and a half hour overview of the Principle , followed by discussion, Key point of the lecture is that the Messiah is on earth as a physical man.
