The Christian work among them has steadilygrown. It has, like most Christian work, had to fightits way against prejudice, superstition, immorality, materialism, and many other kindred evils, but thank God,it has triumphed over them all and has borne the fruitof its labor as well as materially widened its scope ofusefulness and influence.During the year 1909 land was bought for theArthington building. The New Association and Hostelbuilding was completed in December, and on January8th, 1910, the formal opening took place. Before formally opening the building to public use the Association conceived the idea of inviting all the ChineseChristian men to the building for a three days retreator conference.

YOUNG MEN S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. 417purpose of "making Christ known to the people ofChina." Twenty men have declared their purpose tocarry out the objects of this Association wherever theymight be in Japan, China, or elsewhere. Practicallyevery Christian man has been enrolled in some Bibleclass of the Association. Each evening fifteen minutesis devoted to Bible study and prayer for the students inour educational classes. When this was first introduced,nearly all of the non-Christian students fought shy ofthe meeting. Now, however, this short service hasbecome popular, and is attended by nearly all thestudents enrolled in the evening classes. An EvangelisticBible Class has been conducted at the WasedaDepartment with increasing interest. At the samehour a normal training class is held at the CentralDepartment. Some of the men, trained in this class,are now leading prayer meetings and speaking at theEvangelistic Bible Classes. These, together with theother Bible classes held in the Association, the NavalSchool and the homes, give cause for thanksgiving toGod.We have as yet left unmentioned the work amongthe Korean students in Tokyo, who number over 700.There is a deep and genuine interest among them towardChristianity. At this writing there are more than 30awaiting baptism. These men have been in trainingsome time in the Association Bible Classes. Of the nomembers enrolled in the Korean Young Men s ChristianAssociation, 30 are active and 80 associate members.Sixty-six have been enrolled in the Bible classes during1909 and 192 in the educational classes. Seventy-eightyoung men want to become Christians and also wish tojoin the church.There is an urgent need for a dormitory for theyoung Korean Christians, where they may stay togetherfor prayer and Bible stud} 7 . Such a dormitory wouldform a strong Christian centre and would influencelargely the whole Korean student body.
