'He follows with an aiming eye, his bows full-drawn, and ready to let fly'

Nihonjin is home to us friends. I consider him the lens of our abilities, hopes and dreams. He is often capable of many ways, he has the faculty of concentrating upon the project of immediate importance. Add to that a cheerful, happy disposition, however, his gains could be wasted through over zeal or the feverish excitement that too often accompanies his work. He wears himself out in his anxiety to get things done. Being a worker, not seeker, he could accomplish twice as much as we did and would apply himself to charitable or helpful causes with the same energy that he devote to his aims.
