AN APPEAL FROM JAPAN.—

By F. H. DEVINNEY

Knowing not that “righteousness exalteth a nation,” and without knowledge of the “riches of his grace,” Japan seeks for the perishable treasures of earth, content to-day with a few baubles gained; but to-morrow, eager for more and greater, in feverish haste she passes, unseeing and unhearing, the eternal wealth of God’s truth. But a little band of workers among Japan’s sixty millions plead for men and means to help beat back the powers of evil, that the poor captives under chains of darkness may go free into the light and liberty of Christ. Who will come? Who will help us just now while the great opportunity to work for these poor souls, lingers? May God raise up stout hearts to come, and willing minds to give of their abundance, or by sacrifice, for Japan’s great need and for Christ’s sake.
