Scripture Printing Grows in Japan Since Secret Days

THIRTY years ago in Japan the Scriptures were printed secretly, and copies were sent out only after dark. Those who were engaged in this work did so at the risk of their lives. Now there is a Christian printing company at Yokohama, issuing the Scriptures not only in Japanese, but in Chinese, Tibetan, Korean, and two dialects of the Philippine Islands. Last year there were circulated in Japan over one hundred and thirty-eight thousand copies, which is an increase of thirty-nine thousand copies over the previous year.
