Victor George Heiser, M.D. 1873-1972.

From News at the "Fields" (Feb. 1973) comes word that Mr. Yasutaro Goto, for many years the president of the Japan Leprosy Mission, passed away. As a young man he came under the influence of Dr. Kagawa and Dr. Mitsuda, two great Christian leaders. Out of this association came Mr. Goto's own Christian commitment and the development of the Japan Leprosy Mission which serves the spiritual and social needs of patients in the Japanese Government's leprosaria. Only recently had this organization expressed a deeper concern for an international outreach. Mr. Goto, who had been a frequent visitor to American Leprosy Missions, will truly 'be missed as a great loss to Christian leprosy work.
