Wanted a Religion.

Japan wants a new religion, a religion which meets the need. This is voiced in a new book, written by Japanese experts, one of the writers of which is thus quoted:

"Buddhism has lost its earnest strivings, busying itself with petty trifles among its small sects. The light of Confucius and Mencius has paled before the more taking, if more variegated, light of later philosophers. Christianity has wandered far from the teachings of its Divine Founder, and, as too often preached, is a farce and a caricature of the original."

But God is restoring His own religion, and calling back His people to the everlasting Gospel; and by such expressions as these from far Japan is He calling those knowing the message for this time to give its saving truths to those in need.
