Missionary Work in Japan

Mrs. Naylor, a Presbyterian missionary to Japan, after a brief visit to America, was in San Francisco, recently, on the return trip to her field of labor at Kanazawa. Of missionary work in that country she says: "Missionaries can only enter Japan as teachers, and must have a passport before entering any city. These passports are given for five years or less, and must be renewed when they expire. All this renders itinerary work difficult. Yet these and even greater obstacles are met by the teachers, and the word is taken into towns and villages often sixty miles distant from the missionary station."
