Ensign, president of the Japanese mission, to the Era, is encouraging: Am pleased to be able to tell you that we are making a little progress here, that our friends are legion, and that we have much for which we ought to be thankful. I sent a copy of the December issue of the Era to one of our members who understands English. When acknowledging receipt of same, he added this comment: "Your favor and magazine came duly to hand. I read it with very much pleasure and interest. I am particularly inspired in reading 'Bessie's Trust' and the 'Letter from Mary.' they taught me the good lesson and the good spirit of the gospel. A 'Cuban Funeral' is very interesting, too. I feel very thankful for your kindness. "Sincerely your friend and brother, "Yoshiro Oyama." Elder Ensign encloses a very interesting article on conditions in Japan, which will appear in the next Era.
