69219 Vioscount Kentaro Kaneko, born in Kyushu, graduate of Harvard
University in 1878, with a degree of L.L.D. Chief Secretary to House of
Peers, Vice Minister, Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, Minister of
Justice and now President of the American Japanese Association. One of the
lovers of America. While in New England he searched every church in Boston
seeking to find the truth but when he left the hub, a graduate from
Cambridge, his mind was in confusion and discord. He now believes that
Buddhism is a superior philosophy but that Christianity is superior as a
life. This great statesman is constantly doing all he can, to extent the
influence of Christianity.
