- Text transcribed from caption: C-30889 GIFTS FROM ‘HEAVEN’ TOKYO -- Japanese children stretch their arms to grasp gifts attached to toy parachutes at a “Children’s Carnival” held by Maryknoll Fathers in a country area. In bottom photo, some gifts are swapped or shown around to other children slow in reaching for a parachute. Carnivals are an unusual method used by missionaries to interest Japanese--particularly children--in the Church. Under a program of the Good Shepherd Movement in Kyoto, missionaries visit remote rural areas with tents, movies, loud speakers, leaflets--and toy parachutes--to help spread Christianity. According to Father James H. Gordon of Lynn, Mass., “What we have is a combination revival meeting, circus, and three-week school in Christian living. The follow-up is in the hands of the local missioner.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (MM-4C-64-NAB)
