JAPANESE FEEL BILL AN INSULT Situation Is Serious," Returned Missionary Tells Audience "American interests in Japan have been given a serious setback by the recent enactment of the Japanese exclusion bill and even -rnore serious results may follow," declared Charles B. Tenney. returned missionary from Japan, who spoke in the First Baptist church Sunday morning. The Japanese feel that they have been grossly insulted in the passage of the immigration law. Mr.

Tenney declared. The Japanese are conscious of immigration problems, but the suddenness with which the legislation here was enacted has aroused them. One hopeful sign is that the tenure of the measure is limited. The earthquake which occurred in Japan last fall "shook things that cannot be shaken." Mr. Tenney said in discussing the problems which have arisen.

He graphically sketched the situation in Japan following the earthquake in September. "There is still a great deal of suffering in the country." he said. "That neither famine nor pestilence followed the disaster is a testimony to the efficiency ot the relief work. Rehabilitation is proceeding as rapidly as nosssible. but former conditions have not been restored." DR.

The providence of God hr.i sent you here that you may become tools that He can use in doing the work in the world that pleases him. One pathetic thing is that may have found it impossible to find themselves and have been careless in attempting to accomplish his work." God Works Through Men "God has an interest in you and your going out into the word because yo uare made to do His work not only through worship and praise but by the actual doing of the things that he has planned fo ryou. He is not pleased when one has not made the best use of those capabilities that'are furnished through education.

"This work in the service of God nines outside of the church through the thrusting forward of the principles into the society one. Any man who set to build a better city or rural life is a pleasure of God."
