His physician told him that he felt it would be better for his health not to go at all, but if he was not absent more than three weeks, it might not do him any harm. He went to Tokyo in October, and saw a great many friends in that vicinity, talking of the University endowment, and receiving many promises of aid. He also visited Joshu, and while there, he caught a severe cold which confined him to his bed for a week, and left him so weak that he finally deter- mined to go to Oiso, a quiet place... on the sea shore near Yokohama, and rest. He went there in De- cember, and took a room in a common Japanese hotel. He was accompanied only by his clerk. Mrs. Neesima had intended to go and spend some- time with him there, but his mother was taken sick in Kyoto, and as she was eighty four years 132 Last Days of Work, Sickness, old, it seemed unwise to leave her. The new year came, and Dr. Neesima sent out many New Year's letters to his friends, and espe- cially to the leading pastors and workers ; in one of these he said that the greastest need of the church in Japan for the new year, was a new baptism, so that we might be prepared to take Japan for Christ.
