Mr. Nagota, Japanese pastor of the Episcopal Church in Tsu,
gives the following account of his conversion to Christianity:
A colporteur was trying to persuade a soldier to buy a gospel.
He was rebuffed by gross insults and most uncalled for anger.
The colporteur bore the indignity with so much meekness that Mr.
Nagota, who chanced to be passing by, was amazed, and bought
the gospel for the sake of the maligned man. He took the little
volume home and read it carefully, and through reading, became a
Christian.
