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.
