Franklin Calvin Parker was Professor of Missions in the Theology Department of Seinan Gakuin in Fukuoka, Japan. The service begins with a Scripture reading from James 3:13-18 and a word of prayer (00:00-05:34). Franklin Calvin Parker is introduced as the chapel speaker (05:35-08:40). The choir sings the anthem (08:41-12:10). Parker speaks at length about the Japanese culture of selectiveness and unwillingness to receive the gospel fully, and he says that reaching the Japanese for Christ will take considerable wisdom and open-mindedness on the part of missionaries (12:11-38:07). The service ends with a word of prayer (38:08-38:50).
