What Remains to Be Done

While Christianity appears relatively to have reached in Japan an abnormal proportion of the higher classes of society, it must be confessed that the total number of followers of Christ in that empire is still lamentably small — say two hundred thousand, even including with the Protestants the members of the Greek and Roman churches. It is, however, stated by Dr. Nakashima, the professor of psychology in the Imperial University, that there are more than one million persons in Japan who are ordering their lives by the Word of God, though as yet unprepared to make a public confession of their faith in Christ. And a Buddhist editor writes: “Look all over Japan; more than forty million have a higher standard of morality than they have ever known. Our ideas of loyalty and obedience are higher than ever, and we inquire the cause of this great moral advance. We can find it in nothing else than the religion of Jesus Christ.”—Selected.
