JanOP1-106:1 Hampei Nagao, Superintendent of the Central Division of the Imperial R.R. and a strong leader of the Temperance Hosts. June 1918. 55541 Ebara Soroku, member of the House of Peers. In May 1918 this grand old man of Christianity had his 77th birthday. At that time a number of his prominent friends presented him with a gift of $100,000 for the Ebara Educational Fund. Mr. Ebara has given so much of time and money to Christian Education that he has reduced himself to a comparatively poor man. Ten years ago he took up a school which was being disposed of and has made it one of the most popular in Tokyo. He is the possession of the decoration called " The Sacred Treasure: Third Order" but he is often found riding in the third class railroad cars on his way to hold some evangelistic service.
