In the spring of 1919 I conducted an evangelistic campaign for six nights in the city of Tokyo, the capital of Japan. This campaign was undertaken by a Presbyterian church in Tokyo which is one of the largest and strongest Japanese churches in the country. The pastor of the church is one of the greatest Christian scholars, as well as one of the most thoroughgoing orthodox theologians, in Japan. The total membership of his church is about a thousand, but those members who are living in and around the city of Tokyo are not over five hundred. The campaign was conducted in the large auditorium of the Tokyo Y. M. C. A. building, which holds from eighteen hundred to two thousand. For a whole year this church was earnestly praying in preparation for this great campaign. When the time drew near, for five successive Sunday mornings the services were turned over to me, that I might train the whole church for the coming campaign. Before beginning on such a campaign I had to instruct the Christians on the following points: First, how to prepare for the campaign; second, how to work during the campaign; and third, how to follow up later the work of the campaign. Unless the churches taking part in the campaign are thoroughly instructed on these points, it cannot be a successful one. When the first preparation Sunday came, almost the whole church gathered for instructions. At this time I set up two objectives for the Christians to attain. First, they must try to get a total of ten thousand unbelievers,--not Christians of other churches,--to attend our meetings. Second, out of this number they must try to get at least fifteen hundred decisions for Christ. The first thing needed was money. Where could we get it? War means money. Without money you cannot wage a successful campaign. I said to the congregation: “I don’t know how much this campaign will need in all, but I think we must have at least fifteen hundred _yen_ ($750) to begin with. It will be cheap indeed if we can save fifteen hundred souls with fifteen hundred _yen_, which means only one _yen_ a soul. Now for this fifteen hundred _yen_ you must not look to anybody else but to yourselves. This is your campaign, and you must pay for it. This morning at the beginning of the preparation I ask every one of you to give as much as you can for this campaign fund. If there is any one among you here who says he has no money to give, I advise him to sell his clothing and buy a sword, as Christ told his disciples on the eve of a great conflict.” Then I distributed paper and pencils among them, on which to write the amounts which they were willing to give. When those papers were gathered up and counted, they brought the result to me, and I found exactly fifteen hundred and four _yen_. Then the people said, “This is not the work of man, but of God.”
