Japanese Professor Calls Mary Model Non-Christian Cites Blessed Virgin as Example (By N. C. W. C. News Service) OSAKA, Japan. — A non-Christian professor of the Imperial University of Kyoto has been giving radio talks in Osaka during the past year, during which he has made frequently and reverent reference to the “Blessed Virgin of the Christians.” The sub ject of his talks was, “The Young Girl of Japan Today.” The professor stressed, in particu lar, purity. “Purity is not a fiction,” he said, “it has been realized in its perfection by the Mother of Christ, whom Christians like to call the ‘Virgin of Virgins.’ “Our young girls in Japan,” con tinued the orator, “are trained to be come good wives and mothers. Here again the Christian ‘Madonna’ the ‘Mother of God’ is their most per fect model. The imitation of Holy Mary will do more for the education of our young girls than the heroic example of any one of the women famous in our national annals.” During the past summer The Osaka Mainichi, a newspaper having a large circulation, published a series of ar ticles on the training of young wo men, and likewise held up the Chris tian Madonna as a model for all mothers, and future mothers. The paper had perhaps been influenced by the professor’s radio talks. Raphael’s celebrated “Madonna of the Chair” was used by The Mainichi to illu strate its articles. SUCCESSOR TO THE LATE T. P.
