Leetore
We hope everyone who possibly can, will see and
hear the lecture and views on Japan to be given on
Friday evening in the Derry Presbyterian Church,
by Hobun T. Yokbyama, a native Japanese who is
studying in this country. It will surely be both in-structive
arid entertaining, and one can get in an
hour more correct knowledge about a nation with
which our country is just now having diplomatic
interchanges, than by many hours spent over books.
Moreover Mr. Yokoyama is an educated gentleman,
who knows his own land well arid his lecture will
therefore give correct ideas upon Japan.
Uni©m Meetang
A Union Meeting of the Y. W. . -.C. A. and Y. M.
C. A. will be held in the Park on Sunday, July 20,
at 4 p. m. The program' will be musical. A chorus
will t ing several selections.- Miss Alice M. Elder
and Miss Eva Foltz will sing "I Will Give You
Rest;" and Prof. F. D. Keboch, will sing, "The Pub-lican,"
by Van de Water. There will be general
singing also. Miss Margaret Leithiser will read.
It is urged that the Association members be pres-ent
with their friends to spend a profitable and en-joyable
hour in our beautiful Park in a musical way.

Successful
ReopepMg
Services
Sunday, July 13, marks an important epoch in the
history of Fishburn's United Brethren Church.. The
special reopening services were held and proved to
be very successful. The pastor, Rev. 0. G. Romig,
of Hershey, was assisted by Rev. P. H.. Balsbaugh,
of Harrisburg, and Rev. W. W. Fridinger, of Denver,
Lancaster county, a former pastor of the congrega-tion
eighteen years ago. The -attendance at all of
the special services was large, many being present
from a distance. The total cost of the improve-ments
was nearly $300, all of which was raised in
cash and subscriptions. On Sunday afternoon the
church was crowded. Addresses were delivered by
Revs. P. H. Balsbaugh, N. L. Linebaugh and W. W.
Fridinger and Mr. H. M. Witman, a former super-intendent
of the school. The cash offerings^ for the
entire.day amounted to over one hundred dollars.

Japan
On Friday evening, July 18th, at 7.45 o'clock, in
the Derry Presbyterian Church, Hobun T. Yoko-yama,
Ph.B., B.D.j of Japan will give a stereopticon
lecture on Japan. Besides 100 beautiful lantern pic^
tures, Mr. Yokoyama will exhibit many curios of his
native land. Mr. Yokoyama is at present a post-graduate
student in Johns Hopkins University,
where he is preparing himself to preach the gospel
in Japan. He is highly recommended as a lecturer.
This opportunity to hear a native of Japan talk of
his country comes at a. singularly appropriate time.
The relations between Japan and the U. S. are in-creasingly
intimate, therefore Americans ought to
welcome all information about the Island Empire of
the Pacific. The justice and, in the long run, the
profit of our course with Japan depends upon the
understanding of the Japanese. In no better way
can we appreciate these people, their mariner of life
and their ideals, than by coming into contact with
them and hearing them talk. The best substitute
for a visit to Japan is a Japanese visitor. We will
have this in Mr. Yokoyama.
We expect him to carry bad* to Japan a first-class
impression of the town of Hershey. We hope he.
will not carry the impression that-the townspeople
are interested in a subject so important to America
as that of which he will speak. In Japan there , is
an intense interest in all things American. We
Americans may return the' compliment with ,no little
profit to ourselves.
A/ silver . offering; will be taken at the door—the
whole offering will .go to Mr. Yokoyama, who is in
this way paying for his education.
