Japan's Appeal

By F. H. DeHimny

F. H. DeHimny
JAPAN with her thousands of temples and shrines; her millions of souls under bondage of darkness and death; bowing down to her idols, yet thinking to do service to God; knowing nothing of her need of a Saviour, sends up an appeal to Heaven that must make angels weep. Heaven is pledged to send light and truth; but how can light come, except some one filled with the love of souls bring it? How can the light-bearers come, except they be sent? May every prayer offered in sincerity upon these heathen altars reach the ear of Heaven; and, tempered with a Father's mercy, quickened by the Spirit's power, fall like a benediction upon willing hearts, who will respond to the appeals for help from souls perishing without hope in this great heathen land beyond the seas.
