The Fujinki

By Mrs. F. H. De Vinney

MRS. F. H. DE VINNEY
In the fall of 1910 a few foreign ladies of the mission met, in a little upper room of a tiny Japanese house, with the young ladies of the training-school, and organized our first Fujinki, or woman's society. Since that time four more societies have been organized, and two more are about ready to organize in connection with our mission stations. Our aim is the development of all our sisters as working factors in giving this great message of mercy to the millions of Japan now in the bondage of sin and the darkness of heathenism, besides giving relief to all kinds of suffering, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, caring for the sick, teaching right habits of living, and, above all, pointing the people to the great Source of life—our precious Saviour and Friend.

A MEETING OF LADIES’ SOCIETY IN JAPAN
From all our societies come cheering reports of blessings obtained from the rich experiences gained while following the example of Christ, going about doing good. Sister Kobayashi, the wife of our Japanese laborer at Nagasaki, recently sent us the news that having found a sick woman and ministered to her needs the way was opened to tell her the sweet old story of Jesus, the Great Physician, and now she who was sick is made whole in body and spirit. We praise the Lord and take courage as the interest in this work increases among our own people and as we see others attracted to it. We begin to realize what great possibilities for good the Master is opening before us.
