Printed in South Africa by Anker Printers, Pretoria Japan Mission Japan Mission was founded by Neil and Peggy Verwey in 1957. It is a faith mission endeavouring to reach the seeking ones among the 127 million Japanese people. Japan Mission is interdenominational, not forming churches, but rather linking those reached through many avenues of ministry to already existing evangelical churches which believe and teach the fundamental doctrines of the Bible. The main emphasis of the work is to aid Japan’s approximately 7,800 churches, which have an average attendance of about 35 people. Because of their small congregations, the pastors are often in need of assistance with literature and their evangelistic programs.

After Mr. Mimura determined what she needed, he began designing the extra special shoes she would need to win. He decided to use sponge soles to provide the necessary cushion and rice husks to increase traction. He made the upper part of the shoes with mesh since it breathes better than other materials. He produced about 25 prototypes before he was satisfied. “Shoes need to bear a load 2.7 times the weight of the athlete when running uphill, and 4 times their weight when running downhill,” Mr. Mimura asserted. “Many calculations have to go into the shoes to come up with the ideal pair for any given athlete.” Miss Noguchi was very impressed with the workmanship and the lightness of the shoes that she finally received from Mr. Mimura. “Last night, I slept with the shoes beside my pillow,” Miss Noguchi confessed just before the race. Her shoes certainly did not let her down. “I took off my right shoe and kissed it after I crossed the finish line because I wanted to thank my shoemaker and the shoes that helped me to win on this difficult course,” the elated Miss Noguchi said. “Mr. Mimura is indeed the god of shoes!” She did not know it then, but as she was speaking, a well-gratified Mr. Mimura was standing about 50 meters away from her in the excited crowd! Every tourist and athlete knows how important the right shoes are. The Easterner, too, is concerned about footwear, and so it was in Bible times. Listen to the command of the father regarding the prodigal son when he arrived home from a far-off country with sore and, possibly, bare feet. Put … sandals on his feet (Luke 15:22). Rough are the roads for the faltering feet of those who are called to be messengers of God, and how important it is to have the right footwear: and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace (Ephesians 6:15).

During 1954, after completing two years of language study, I stayed with a world-famous missionary, Rev. Eric Gosden and his wife. They were then The young and very near retirement age, but they were inexperienced Neil Verwey quite willing to teach a young, foolhardy, first-term missionary – like myself – the ropes. They lived in a large, comfortable, two-story house and hired a very capable live-in, domestic helper. I regarded it as a great privilege to stay with such a godly couple, and to learn from them as much as I could in order to become a successful missionary myself. Every morning, coming down the steps from my second-story room, I noticed that my shoes were spotlessly clean and well polished. I took this to be the work of the diligent servant in our household. Considering all the snow, rain and mud outside, I appreciated stepping into a clean pair of shoes when it was time to go out. By then, I already knew the aversion the Japanese had for dirty shoes! One morning, rising earlier than usual, I went downstairs and came across Rev. Gosden himself, on his knees cleaning the shoes of this “pampered” young lad from the Kalahari Desert! I was profoundly embarrassed! It should have been the other way around! I should have been cleaning his shoes! 11 During the nine months that I stayed with Rev. Gosden, he taught me more through his example than through his powerful preaching. He was a living embodiment of what Christ taught in Mark 10:43 — … but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. Years ago, God also brought me in contact with Kenji, who learned at an early age how to minister to people. “Kenji, I pity you! Everybody’s mocking you,“ his teacher sympathized with him. “You’re making far too much of your religion!” His teacher liked Kenji very much because he was always very willing to do the dirty jobs, which other students loathed to do. “Oh no, Sensei, (Teacher) I’m following Jesus,” was Kenji’s bold reply. “I just feel sorry for my friends who do not know any better.” One day, Kenji’s teacher did not come to school and Kenji heard that he had entered a medical center for cancer patients in a far-away place. He also heard from his teacher’s wife that he had abandoned all hope and was in the depths of despair. Then a letter arrived for Kenji from his teacher, which showed that that there was still a flicker of hope in his heart. “I have many times considered killing myself to spare you and our children the burden of supporting me in this place, but I cannot find any solace in that for my soul. Last night, I had a dream that Kenji can help me and I implore you to send him to me.” The following weekend, Kenji visited his teacher, who plied him with many questions. It gave Kenji a wonderful opportunity to tell his sick teacher the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who died on the cross for the redemption of all humankind. This was all new to his teacher! He knew nothing about Jesus, and never paid much attention to sin. After all, everybody commits sin in one way or another; as long as you don’t overdo it, he thought. But listening to Kenji, he began to see God, sin and forgiveness in a new light. Before Kenji left on the long train journey home, he had an opportunity to point his repentant sensei to Jesus, and what a transformation that brought about in his teacher’s life! 12 Even in the prisons of Japan, I have come across those that Christ has transformed to such an extent that they are not rebellious any more, but to the contrary, have taken on the form of a servant. This is almost more of a miracle than when it happens outside the prison. One of the prisoners in Osaka Prison I contacted only recently found Christ as his Savior, and is already moving on an amazingly high spiritual plane. He said that, for him, every day is full of joy. God has radically changed him. Before, he always whined about his long sentence, but with his changed life he says, “How amazing it is that for all the wrong and evil that I did, God allowed them to only sentence me to five years!” His attitude has changed drastically, and he said that his days are no longer mundane. Instead, he is always looking out to see how he can serve others with little acts of kindness! Even for the dying, if they know Christ, serving Him and others comes first before their own needs.

  • Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church Newsletter Holy Thursday & Good
    Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church Newsletter Holy Thursday & Good Friday My Dear Parishioners, Tonight we remember the celebration of the very first Mass in history, which we call the Last Supper. The Last Supper happened within the context of a Passover Seder, which was and is still a highly ritualized meal. The Evangelists, we notice, did not record everything about that meal. What they recorded was what was different and unique about the meal. What was different was when Our Blessed Savior took bread, blessed and broke it, and said “this is my body.” What was also different was when He took the cup, blessed it, and said “this is my blood.” They also recorded a very special and unique command to the Apostles, “do this in memory of Me.” In giving the Apostles the command “do this in memory of Me,” He was giving His very first priests the power to confect the Eucharist. He did so that we would always have the Holy Eucharist and have the opportunity to share in that beautiful promise that He made us and is recorded in the Gospel of John “he who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has My life in him, and I will raise him on the Last Day.” So, as we celebrate the institution of the Holy Eucharist, it is most appropriate today and tonight that we remember and offer up prayers of thanksgiving for all of those priests, living and dead, through whose hands we have received the Bread of Life. Our Blessed Savior chose to celebrate the Last Supper the night before His Crucifixion.

  • The Key of the Mysteries
    THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES (LA CLEF DES GRANDS MYSTÈRES) BY ELIPHAS LEVI THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES ACCORDING TO ENOCH, ABRAHAM, HERMES TRISMEGISTUS AND SOLOMON BY ELIPHAS LEVI TRANSLATED, WITH AN INTRODUCTION, BY ALEISTER CROWLEY “Religion says: ‘Believe and you will un- derstand.’ Science comes to say to you: ‘Un- derstand and you will believe.’ “At that moment the whole of science will change front; the spirit, so long dethroned and forgotten, will take its ancient place; it will be demonstrated that the old traditions are all true, that the whole of paganism is only a system of corrupted and misplaced truths, that it is sufficient to cleanse them, so to say, and to put them back again in their place, to see them shine with all their rays. In a word, all ideas will change, and since on all sides a multitude of the elect cry in concert, ‘Come, Lord, come!’ why should you blame the men who throw themselves forward into that majestic future, and pride themselves on having foreseen it?” (J. De Maistre, Soirées de St. Petersbourg.) TRANSLATOR’S NOTE IN the biographical and critical essay which Mr. Waite prefixes to his Mysteries of Magic he says: ‘A word must be added of the method of this digest, which claims to be something more than translation and has been infinitely more laborious. I believe it to be in all respects faithful, and where it has been necessary or possible for it to be literal, there also it is invariably literal.’ We agree that it is either more or less than translation, and the following examples selected at haz- ard in the course of half-an-hour will enable the reader to judge whether Mr.
