Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Japan Mission Year-Book, 1929: Formerly the Christian Movement in Japan and Formosa; A Year Book of Christian Work, Twenty-Seventh Issue This year marks the seventieth anniversary of the opening of Protestant missionary work in Japan. The editors of the Year Book have tried to keep this fact in mind and in the third section of the present volume an attempt has been made to estimate the degree of the penetration of Japanese life by Christian ideals. The editors regret very much that two important articles in this section - the Contribution of Christianity to Education, and the Influence of Christianity upon Literature in Japan - were not received in time to be inserted in the 1929 edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Japan Mission Year Book, 1930: Formerly the Christian Movement in Japan and Formosa; A Year Book of Christian Work The year 1929 was a critical one in the history of Japan. Many major problems - economic, social, political and religious - confronted the nation. All of these problems have a very vital bearing upon the progress of the Christian cause and some under standing of them is essential to any one who wishes to estimate correctly the present status of the Church in the Sunrise Kingdom. It is a matter of congratulation that so many Christian leaders, both missionary and Japanese, have sensed the dire need of Japan and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit are contributing towards the solution of many vexing problems. The first Christian Social Conference was held in Tokyo in the summer of 1929. In order to preserve for permanent record some of the findings of that conference, three of the most valuable papers have been included in this volume. Attention of the readers in Japan should also be called to the directory of Christian Social activities which has been most carefully compiled by Miss Mildred A. Paine. The editor-in-chief hereby completes his third term as editor of the Japan Mission Year Book. To all who have so generously contributed of their labor and time to the making of the last three volumes of the Year Book we again extend our sincere gratitude.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Japan Year Book: Complete Cyclopaedia of General Information and Statistics on Japan and Japanese Territories for the Year 1929 Learning was encouraged by the shogunate. Chiefly to check the war like, propensity of the daimyos. Indirectly it fostered historical and literary research by our scholars and it is inter esting to note _these researches brought home to their mind the abnormal state into which the executive power of the coun try had fallen and especially to the encroachment of the military classes on the sovereignty of the Court. Meanwhile the extra vagance of the successive shoguns highly impaired their credit. While the arrival of foreign missions one after the other in quick succession in the early 19th century. Demanding the con elusion of treaties of commerce further tended to reveal their internal decay. Chiefly to gain time, the shogunate applied to the Court for permission to open the country and thus involun tarily placed itself under the direction 'of the legitimate rulers. The Court then ordered the expulsion of the foreign missions. It was a highly irresponsible decision, but the Court had been long estranged from active politics and was moreover inclined to obstruct and annoy the shogunate out of spite. It was in such peculiar circumstances that the sentiment of loyalty to the legitimate rulers became strangely associated with the anti foreign policy, and gave rise to the sonno-joi (loyalty to the Court and expulsion of the foreigners) agitation, the slogan that swept over the whole country at that 'time. But the foreign missions would no longer accept delay, so that the senior coun seilor of the shogunate of the day. Ii-kamon-no-kami, signed tentative treaties in 1858. And 'for the resolute step he took he was assassinated by.a band of the sonno-joi upholders. The bigoted and dangerous cause was considered sacred by the gen eral public. And even some powerful daimyos. As Choshu and Satsuma. Who had a spite against the Tokugawa from one cause or another. Tried to carry out the joi order to the letter. And at slight provocation or none at all killed or injured foreigners or fired upon foreign warships. The Government was in utter dismay, for the foreign representatives made on every such occasion a strong demand for reparation. These repeated troubles were too great for the impotent shogunate to settle, and at last the shogun Keiki. The last of the illustrious line, sur rendered the vicarious power of ruling the country. For he was enlightened enough to perceive the trend of the times. And thus the Imperial Court recovered its full prerogative which had been kept in abeyance for about ten centuries. This memorable event was not consummated without some bloodshed. Through an armed struggle, fortunately of short duration. Between a section of the misguided partisans of the Tokugawa and the imperial adherents. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
