"It is just 70 years this year since the first Protestant missionaries entered Japan, so that this is a suitable time to indulge in 'looking backward' to see what progress has been made in the Christianization of the Japanese," declared Ernest W. Clement in a sermon preached at the Queens Baptist Church of Queens Village last night. For many years Mr.

Clement taught English in Japan. "At first the work was very difficult, because there was a strong prejudice against the 'wicked sect' of Christians," he said. "But gradually the missionaries, both the printed word and the spoken word, were able to make headway. By both evangelistic and educational work, if for convenience we make a distinction, converts were made and churches established. It should be particularly noted that Christian missionaries were pioneers in the important work of female education in Japan.

Baseball Aids Missions. "It is not difficult to understand the usual methods employed by the missionaries; but it may not be easy to imagine all the means, uncommon ones, utilized to make points of contact with the people. The missionary has actualized the truth of Paul's statement, 'I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save For example, a man or woman, in teaching English, found that the language is so permeated with religious thought and expression that it was a means of making known Christian ideas. Moreover, many English words have been adopted into the Japanese language, especially in the spiritual vocabulary, and many other English terms have compelled the coining of special words in Japanese to express the new ideas of the new civilization. The influence of the English language and literature is beyond estimate.

"You may 'believe it or but it is true that baseball, which is so popular in Japan as to be really the national sport, has been found an excellent means of approach. Many young men have been won to a better life by means of sports."

CANAL COMPANY FOR SOUTH SHORE PROPOSED IN 1848 Present Waterway Plan Was First Fostered 80 Years Ago by Civics. political battles in the ranks of and Democratic organizations in which the campaign ammunition, at the rate it is being expended, may run short in any one of the several war chests any minute.

The answer, according to all indications, lies in whether or not the rubicund and rotund Angelo is willing to keep on digging into his bulky billfold in the hope of being able to buy the shoes that the late "Jack" Phillips used to wear. Angelo Was Loose as Ashes. It doesn't seem to be a secret on the sewer boro's battle front that there are a few campaign chests that could stand a good, substantial contribution such as Paino makes when he is making 'em, and just as many organizations, that would be willing 15,000 votes the contractor claims, or used to claim, he carried around in his vest pocket. But, of course, none of the five in the running for the Boro Presidential nominations is angling publicly for either Paino's monetary or moral support. And if the ambitious Angelo has any plans in the coming campaign, which will settle the destinies of for the next four years and the spending of the millions for boro improvements, he is keeping it a deep secret.

Paino Awaits Appeal. To all outward purposes, Paino is limiting his interest in Queens affairs to his appeal, pending in the Appellate Division, from his conviction on a charge of attempting to pass one of his $10,000 bills on Boro President George U. Harvey for contractual favors from the present administration. His contracting interests have dwindled to putting few drains in Nassau County. "But Paino's ex-lieutenants Young People's Democratic Leabuse of Queens, the organization through which he claimed to have his 15,000 votes ready for delivery, are doing his speaking for him.

These would indicate the way the winds are blowing. The chief interest of the Angelo's court criers appears to be concentrated on the battle in the Republican ranks for the Boro Presidentia nomination, though the fact of the matter is that few of the Paino henchmen are enrolled in the G. O. P. and therefore eligible to vote in the contest that interests them.

Not Favoring Harvey. And, naturally, the Paino support is not going in the direction of Harvey, whom contractor will have to thank if the courts uphold the conviction upon which he has been sentenced to serve four years in Sing Sing. It probably, isn't particularly warm on adversary, former Senator John L. Karle, who once started a fight against the Phillips sewer ring when Paino was only a high private the rear rank in the outfit, but who has now switched over to the banner of Joe De Bragga. The Paino adherents' interest in the three-cornered Democratic battle for the nomination for Boro President not as clearly outlined.

It has been recalled that Angelo testified his trial that one of his $10,000 bills was spent in the unsuccessful campaign to elect former Boro President Patten, one of the current aspirants, over Harvey last fall. But Patten indignantly denied this, and called Paino by a short and ugly name. That closed the book on the subject. Patten apparently is receiving support of part of the old Maurice E. Connolly machine, while a lesser faction sounded Connolly's praises splaying the trumpet for County Clerk Edward W.

Cox for the nomination. This would appear to leave Representative William F. Brunner, the reputed Tammany candidate, out in the cold as far as support from the old line contractual interests is concerned. Not for Newcombe, Either. But there is nothing mysterious about the sympathies of Paino's followers in two of the other contests in the Democratic field.

They are not for District Attorney Richard S. Newcombe for Surrogate, and so are supporting his opponent, Magistrate Lawrence Gresser Jr. And Paino's henchmen will turn out in full force to bring about, if they can, the defeat of Assistant District Attorney Charles W. Froessell, who conducted the contractor's prosecution, for the nomination for District Attorney. James T.

Hallinan, 50- Tammany last year, candidate is for Froessell's Boro opponent. Meanwhile, the actual support Paino could muster his prefer: ences cially, is at a least, matter his of league conjecture. Offclaiming 15,000 votes been disbanded. But, from the activity of a number of its prominent members and organizers, it might as well be functioning on four wheels. The Santee Democratic Club, the district organization to which Paino acted as "angel" before his recent troubles, is still squabbling over its for Boro President in the party primary.

It has come out all the way on the limb for Gresser for Surrogate, however, and many of its members lean to Hallinan for District Attorney. But there is a dire and mournful possibility, of Paino's lieutenants belleventhe contractor may keep his pocketbook--the one in which he toted $157,000 on one day of his trial-closed for the present campaign and let a number of yawning war chests stay empty.

A daily feature, except Saturday, in the Long Island Section, While thousands of Long Islanders and others in the metropolitan district are intensely interested just now in improvement of Great South Bay and its tributaries, it is interesting to note that this is but development of an idea that first took active form 80 years ago, in the summer of 1848. Improvement of a channel connecting Shinnecock and Peconic Bays and other waterways along the south side of Long Island was proposed by far-seeing residents who proposed to organize the Long Island Canal and Navigation Company. Those promoters published an advertisement in the Suffolk Democrat of Huntington, L. dated July 14, calling for subscriptions for $300,000 of capital stophan advertisement, each. brought to light the committee on ports and waterways of the Long Island Chamber of Commerce, comes as a revelation to many who use the Long Island waterways for commercial and pleasure purposes.

The attention to Shinnecock Canal, to East Rockaway Inlet and to other waterways of Long Island which has been given by Federal and State authorities during the last year through the intercession of the Long Island chamber's committee on ports and waterways is exactly in line with the proposals of predecessors nearly a century There was no Long Island Chamber of Commerce at that time, but the incorporation of the Canal and Navigation Company proved the earnestness of the advocation of better communication by water with all parts of Long Island. City Joined in Project. Capt. Robert A. Schreiber of Freeport, chairman of the chamber's committee, says the discovery of the existence of this previous action and the statement of its aims and objects gives eta a solid foundation to the present-day arguments and should show conservative Long Islanders who may have looked upon some of the present waterway projects as visionary, that their fore-, fathers considered this subject just as earnestly as do the boat owners of today.

He calls attention to the fact that that in 1848 representative citizens of New York City, of Brooklyn, then a separate city; of Jamaica, South Oyster Bay, Islip, Patchogue and Moriches all were sufficiently to designate places where the subconcerned in this business a project scriptions might be received. A point emphasized by the Long Island chamber 'is that commerce by water to all Long Island harbors has been important from the earliest times of occupation by the white race. The facilities for transportation were used exclusively before the days of the stage coaches, and for a long time afterward water-borne commerce was the most important of all on Long Island. Packets and other vessels carried cargoes from ports and landings on Long Island and returned with holds full of merchandise of many kinds. Tonnage Increasing.

Recent business developments, including highway and other structural undertakings, manufacturing and improvement projects call for immense quantities of materials not native to Long Island and both railroad and water routes are steadily increasing their tonnage to and from the island. The South Shore waterways, including Great South Bay and its connections to the west as well as the east, all are affected by the condition of the Shinnecock Canal, and it is felt that the maintenance appropriation now being expended should be supplemented by still further improvements.

INVITE OFFICIALS TO PARK OPENING York. Another practical is to make detours around towns, which, owing to the layout of their streets, hold up traffic in both directions for many minutes. Traffic congestion annoys local drivers as well as toruists. Many hesitate to breast the solid stream of through cars in the smaller towns on Long Island on account of the difficulties of getting through it. They are deterred from "going to town" for minor errands.

Tourists, ingly annoyed local delays, and finding all parking space on the main street pre-empted, have sire to stop off in a town which makes travelling more unpleasant. If through traffic could be rerouted so as to make quick passage around rather than through a town, it would relieve congestion for concerned. Any retarding of traffic, whether by blocked highway, an arterial crossing, a congested main street in a town or local incompetence in handling traffic, has its effects far beyond the place of the delay. A good artery, such as the Sunrise Highway, attracts traffle from other but poorer roads. Obstructions in this highway affect much larger volume of traffic, and, In time, result in "backing up" traffic lanes so that all movement for miles is made snail-like.
