In the Japanese Empire
By Mrs. H. Kuniya
IN the mikado's empire, a few months ago, a young lady from a country district attended our gospel meetings, and accepted Christianity. When she returned to her native village, the news was spread far and wide that Higuchi San had accepted "Yasu" — Christianity. Her parents and relatives, and all her former associates, combined to destroy her peace, and to cause her to give up her new-found faith. Among these was a young man who was especially bitter in his hatred of Christianity. "Any one who accepts Christianity in Japan should be killed," he said. All this was borne patiently by Higuchi San, until finally the young man became ashamed of himself, and asked her what was the source of such kindness as she had shown, even in persecution. She answered that Christ is the source of all good. Now the young man is studying the faith of the one he persecuted.
