Preface 

The  year  1952  will  be  remembered  in  Japan  as  the 
year  of  independence  after  the  first  major  military  defeat 
in  her  history.  It  will  also  be  remembered  as  the  year 
when  the  Japanese,  Christians,  and  non-Christians  alike, 
settled  down  to  facing  the  realities  of  the  postwar  situa 
tion.  The  defeat  in  1945  had  brought  the  dissolution  of 
older  organisations,  centers  of  power,  etc.,  and  the 
weakening  of  traditional  beliefs  and  patterns  of  life.  In 
this  fluid  situation  new  hopes,  ideals  and  forces  were 
released.  Prospects  for  "  democracy  "  seemed  almost  un 
limited  ;  for  the  Christian  churches,  crowded  with 
"  seekers  ",  it  was  a  period  of  "  unparalleled  opportunity  " 
and  of  rising  hopes  for  a  "  Christian  Japan  ".  These  were 
years  of  almost  naive  optimism. 

As  ratification  of  the  Pesce  Treaty  drew  near  in 
1952,  more  sober  views  found  expression.  Older,  deeper 
economic,  political  and  social  pressures  were  felt  in 
creasingly  ;  older  leaders  once  more  emerged  upon  the 
scene.  International  pressures  stemming  from  the  conflict 
between  the  Soviet  bloc  and  the  Western  democracies  were 
felt  more  sharply.  Polarisation  within  the  political  arena 
increased.  The  movement  to  modify  or  scrap  many  of 
the  SCAP-sponsored  reforms  and  ordinances  emerged 
into  ;fhe  open.  Even  the  exhilaration  of  independence 
was  unable  to  overcome  the  uneasiness  which  had  settled 


ii  Preface 

over  the  nation. 

For  the  church  as  well,  a  more  sober  and  realistic 
view  began  to  prevail ;  the  time  of  opportunity  was  not 
gone,  but  the  time  for  facing  realities  had  surely  come. 
Christian  forces  could  no  longer  count  upon  the  mo 
mentum  of  the  desire  for  change  to  make  the  penetra 
tion  of  Japanese  lives  and  society  by  the  Gospel  easier. 
Rather,  they  must  settle  down  to  the  task  of  conso 
lidating  what  real  gains  had  been  made  and  of  bring 
ing  the  Gospel  into  lives  and  a  society  which  were 
again  increasingly  resistant.  There  were  great  problems 
to  meet :  the  problem  of  a  membership  which  was  largely 
young  in  its  church  experience  and  understanding  of  the 
Faith  ;  the  problem  of  regaining  initiative  and  self-suoport 
after  years  of  aid  for  church  reconstruction  and  main 
tenance  ;  the  problem  of  moving  from  dependence  to  a 
self-generating  and  self-supporting  evangelistic  outreach. 
Even  as  the  nation  was  shifted  from  dependence  to  in 
dependence,  so  too  the  church  was  moving  again  in  this 
direction. 

The  articles  and  reports  in  this  1953  issue  of  the 
Yearbook  seek  to  present  and  describe  this  change  in 
the  nation  at  large,  and  more  especially  in  the  work  of 
the  Christian  movement  in  Japan.  There  are  some  changes 
in  arrangement  of  the  book,  but  it  too  reflects  this  process 
of  consolidation  of  what  was  begun  in  the  previous  post 
war  Yearbooks.  Upon  the  recommendation  of  a  large 
number  of  people,  a  major  change  has  been  made  in  the 


Preface  iii 

Yearbook  date.  Most  of  the  articles  cover  the  year  1952  ; 
however,  as  the  book  is  produced  in  mid-1953,  as  an 
attempt  has  been  made  to  bring  the  directories  up  to 
June,  1953,  and  as  the  book  will  be  used  through  part  of 
1954,  it  was  thought  that  the  dating,  1953,  would  lead  to 
the  least  confusion.  There  is  therefore  no  Yearbook 
named  the  1952  Yearbook. 

To  a  very  large  degree  a  book  of  this  kind  represents 
the  joint  concern  of  all  missionaries  and  Christian  groups 
in  Japan.  Grateful  appreciation  is  extended  herewith  to 
all  who  have  contributed  articles,  and  particularly  to  the 
small  but  devoted  group  who  have  assisted  in  the  edit 
ing  of  the  book;  and  the  hope  is  expressed  that  any 
deficiencies  herein  will  spur  all  of  us  to  help  the  next 
editorial  board  produce  a  better  Yearbook.

CHAPTER  I 

GENERAL  SURVEY  OF 
JAPAN  IN  1952 

THE  POLITICAL  SITUATION 

by  Masamichi  Inoki 
\  General  Survey 

The  first  half  of  1952  was  spent  in  dealing  with  the 
aftermath  of  the  Peace  Treaty  and  the  U.  S.-Japan 
Security  Pact  which  had  been  concluded  in  September  of 
the  preceding  year  That  is  to  say,  on  January  16,  1952, 
Prime  Minister  Yoshida's  letter  was  announced  in  which 
he  chose  the  Chinese  Nationalists  as  the  Government 
with  which  Japan  would  negotiate  a  peace  treaty  with 
China ;  on  February  20th  the  treaty  conference  was  con 
vened  ;  and  on  April  28th  the  peace  treaty  between  Japan 
and  the  Republic  of  China  was  concluded.  Inevitably, 
these  relations  with  the  Chinese  Nationalist  Government 
led  to  a  worsening  of  relations  with  Peking,  but  from 
its  position  of  hoping  that  the  San  Francisco  Peace  Treaty 
would  take  effect  the  Japanese  Government  was  unable 
from  the  end  of  1951  to  resist  pressure  from  the  Ameri 
can  side.  It  was  solely  for  the  purpose  of  encouraging 
America  to  ratify  the  Peace  Treaty  that  the  conference 

1 


GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

between  Okazaki  and  Rusk  on  the  Administrative  Agree 
ment  was  opened  the  latter  part  of  January,  1952,  and 
at  the  end  of  February  the  Administrative  Agreement 
between  Japan  and  the  U.  S.  which  recognised  the  ex 
traterritorial  jurisdiction  of  the  U.  S.  Security  Forces  was 
concluded. 

Thus  on  April  28,  1952,  with  the  depositing  of  Ameri 
ca's  document  of  ratification,  the  Peace  Treaty  between 
Japan  and  the  ten  nations  which  had  thus  far  ratified  it 
came  into  effect.  On  the  same  day  the  state  of  war  came 
to  an  end  between  Japan  and  India  and  Yugoslavia, 
neither  of  which  had  joined  in  the  San  Francisco  Peace 
Conference,  and  diplomatic  relations  with  Denmark, 
Germany,  Italy,  Spain,  Sweden,  Switzerland,  the  Vatican, 
etc.,  were  also  restored. 

In  this  way  the  long-expected  Peace  Treaty  was  con 
cluded.  However,  it  was  not  an  over-all  treaty  ("  zemmen- 
koiva  ")  but  was  a  treaty  with  only  one  group  ("  hemmcn- 
kowa  "—literally  "  one-sided  ")  of  the  belligerents.  Con 
sequently,  tense  relations  between  Japan  and  Red  China  and 
1  he  Soviet  Union  developed,  and  it  followed  inevitably  that 
the  Japanese  Government  in  its  external  relations  (taigaiteki 
ni)  strengthened  its  attitude  on  rearmament,  and  in  its 
domestic  policy  (tainaiteki  ni)  prepared  public  peace  and 
order  policies  such  as  the  Subversive  Activities  Preven 
tion  Law,  etc.  The  May  1st  riot  on  the  Imperial  Plaza 
in  Tokyo  was  viewed  as  a  reaction  by  the  communists 
against  the  "  one-sided  "  peace  treaty.  But  even  apart 


THE  POLITICAL  SITUATION  3 

from  the  activities  of  the  small  number  of  ultra-leftists, 
a  feeling  of  uneasiness  and  dissatisfaction  with  the  Yoshida 
Cabinet's  ''  unquestioning  adherence  to  America  "  ("  kobci 
if)f>cnio ")  policy  was  seen  to  prevail  among  a  rather 
broad  strata  of  the  people. 

In  the  general  election  which  was  held  on  October 
1st  after  a  lapse  of  four  years,  the  pros  and  cons  of  the 
Yoshida  Cabinet's  foreign  policy  and  the  accompanying 
policy  of  a  gradual  increase  of  self-defence  forces  were 
fought  out.  As  a  result  of  the  election,  the  Liberal  Party 
maintained  its  majority  within  the  Diet  with  difficulty, 
but  it  included  within  it  a  fair  number  of  the  dissident 
Hatoyama  wing,  and  thus  the  degree  of  instability  in  the 
political  situation  increased  rapidly.  It  is  worthwhile  not 
ing  not  only  the  complete  defeat  of  the  Communist 
Party  but  also  that  the  Left-wing  Socialist  Party  which 
insisted  on  independent  neutrality  and  opposition  to 
rearmament  in  one  stroke  tripled  the  number  of  its 
seats  and  manifests  a  tendency  to  become  the  nucleus 
for  the  so-called  "  progressive  forces  ". 

On  October  24th  Yoshida  was  designated  Prime 
Minister  for  the  fourth  time,  and  on  Oct.  30th  the  fourth 
Yoshida  Cabinet  was  established.  But  as  the  Hatoyama 
wing  within  the  Liberal  Party  resisted  Prime  Minister 
Yoshida  in  all  things,  a  non-confidence  motion  against 
Minister  of  International  Trade  and  Industry  Ikeda  was 
passed  on  Nov.  28th,  and  the  passage  of  the  supple 
mentary  budget  bill  continued  to  encounter  difficulties. 


4  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

Also,  the  coal  miners'  strike,  which  began  about  the 
middle  of  October,  by  December  had  deeply  affected 
people's  living  conditions  through  curtailment  of  trains, 
restrictions  on  the  use  of  gas,  etc.,  due  to  a  shortage  of 
of  coal  stocks,  and  the  situation  progressed  so  far  as  to 
create  social  uneasiness  and  a  tense  political  situation 
about  the  middle  of  December.  As  Prime  Minister  Yo- 
shida  succeeded  in  working  out  a  compromise  with  the 
Democratization  League  ("  Mindoha  "  or  Hatoyama  wing) , 
on  December  14th  he  took  a  resolute  attitude  toward 
the  coal  miners'  strike  and  invoked  the  Emergency 
Adjustment  injunction.  Accordingly,  the  Coal  Miners' 
Union,  Tanro,  issued  an  order  suspending  the  strike  on 
Dec.  16th,  and  on  the  same  day  the  supplementary  budget 
bill  was  passed  in  the  House  of  Representatives. 

Thus  this  crisis  was  avoided,  but  as  the  internal  dis 
sension  within  the  Liberal  Party  and  the  severe  antagon 
ism  between  capital  and  labor  were  not  basically  resolved 
these  same  problems  were  carried  over  into  1953. 

The  Peace  Treaty  with  the  Chinese  Nationalist  Govern 
ment 

China  was  excluded  from  among  the  principal  sig 
natory  nations  in  the  23rd  article  of  the  San  Francisco 
Peace  Treaty.  This  was  a  convenient  device  based 
upon  a  compromise  between  the  U.  S.,  which  continued 
to  recognize  the  Chinese  Nationalist  Government  in 
Taiwan,  and  England,  which  had  recognized  the  Govern- 


THE  POLITICAL  SITUATION  5 

ment  of  the  People's  Reoublic  of  China.  This  was 
supposed  to  leave  Japan  free  to  choose  with  which  of 
the  two  Chinese  governments  she  would  conclude  a 
treaty,  but  the  United  States  strongly  demanded  that  she 
should  choose  the  Nationalists,  and  when  Japan  completed 
her  ratification  of  the  San  Francisco  Peace  Treaty  and 
the  Security  Pact  in  November  of  1951  the  United  States 
in  December  dispatched  Special  Envoy  Dulles  to  exert 
pressure  upon  Japan  to  conclude  a  peace  treaty  with 
Nationalist  China.  Consequently,  on  December  24th  Prime 
Minister  Yoshida  wrote  to  Dulles  stating  that  Japan  had 
made  preparations  for  the  restoration  of  diplomatic  rela 
tions  with  the  Chinese  Nationalists  and  that  she  would 
not  enter  into  friendly  relations  with  the  Government  of 
the  People's  Republic  of  China.  This  letter  having  been 
made  public,  Foreign  Minister  Yeh  Kung  Chao  of  the 
Nationalist  Government  declared  that  he  was  in  agree 
ment  with  an  early  conclusion  of  a  peace  treaty  with 
Japan,  and  conferences  were  begun  in  Taiwan  on  Feb. 
20th  between  Foreign  Minister  Yeh  and  Japanese  Pleni 
potentiary  Kawada.  But  the  negotiations  encountered 
difficulties  because  of  fundamental  differences  of  opinion 
between  the  Nationalist  Government  and  Japan.  While 
the  Nationalist  Government  tried  to  conclude  the  peace 
treaty  formally  as  the  representative  of  the  whole  of 
China,  Japan  wanted  to  conclude  only  a  limited  friend- 
vShip  treaty  (genteiteki  shuko  joyaku)  with  the  Nationalist 
Government  as  representing  only  Formosa.  A  com- 


6  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

promise  between  the  two  countries  was  reached  in  which 
it  was  conceded  that  the  treaty  represented  formally 
what  the  Nationalist  Government  demanded,  but  in  sub 
stance  was  what  the  Japanese  Government  demanded. 
On  April  28,  1952,  the  "  Peace  Treaty  between  Japan  and 
the  Republic  of  China  ",  one  protocol,  two  exchanges  of 
official  documents,  and  one  exchange  of  letters,  were 
signed. 

On  August  5th  both  countries  completed  ratification 
of  the  treaty  and  it  went  into  effect.  But  because  the 
treaty  includes  contradictions  between  form  and  substance, 
there  are  many  doubtful  points  requiring  interpretation. 
For  example  we  may  take  the  answers  of  the  Government 
in  the  Diet.  While  Minister  of  State  Okazaki  said  that 
"  by  this  treaty  the  state  of  war  with  the  whole  of  China 
is  legally  ended ",  Prime  Minister  Yoshida  stated  that 
"  the  treaty  between  Japan  and  China  was  concluded 
with  the  government  in  Formosa  and  thus  does  not  mean 
that  we  recognize  the  Nationalist  Government  as  the 
representative  of  the  whole  of  China."  If  the  political 
power  in  Formosa  should  retake  the  Chinese  mainland, 
the  contradictions  in  this  treaty  will  be  automatically 
solved,  but  there  is  almost  no  probability  of  this  occurr 
ing.  The  "  peace "  with  the  Nationalist  Government, 
therefore,  will  make  the  state  of  war  between  Japan  and 
the  Chinese  mainland  and  Manchuria  continue  forever, 
and  it  will  thus  become  a  factor  in  deepening  the  crisis 
of  war  in  the  Far  East.  The  question  of  how  the  rela- 


THE  POLITICAL  SITUATION  7 

tions  between  Japan  and  the  Government  of  the  People's 
Republic  of  China,  which  controls  the  Chinese  mainland 
and  Manchuria,  will  develop  hereafter  economically  and 
politically  will  determine  the  political  trends  in  Japan. 

The  U.  S. -Japan  Administrative   Agreement 

The  U.  S.-Japan  Security  Pact  stipulated  in  the  3rd 
article  that  the  conditions  regulating  the  arrangements 
for  American  troops  stationed  in  Japan  would  be  settled 
in  an  administrative  agreement  between  the  two  govern 
ments.  From  January  29,  1952,  negotiations  were  held 
in  Tokyo  between  Special  Ambassador  Dean  Rusk  re 
presenting  the  U.  S.  and  Minister  of  State  Okazaki,  and 
on  the  last  day  of  February  the  Administrative  Agreement 
was  signed.  This  agreement  consists  of  a  preamble  and 
29  articles  in  all.  Compared  with  the  North  Atlantic 
Treaty  Agreement  concluded  in  London,  June  19,  1951, 
this  agreement  has  many  disadvantageous  provisions  in 
respect  to  Japan. 

First,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  in  countries  where 
foreign  troops  are  stationed  those  who  receive  privileges 
and  special  advantages  are  usually  limited  to  armies, 
military  personnel,  civilian  employees  of  the  armed  forces, 
and  their  families,  in  the  U.  S.-Japan  Administrative  Agree 
ment  contractors  and  authorized  agencies  used  by  the 
military  are  also  included.  Since  June,  1952,  when  the 
Ministry  of  Foreign  Affairs  received  from  the  U.  S. 
Government  lists  of  American  firms  which  would  specially 


8  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

enter  Japan  by  this  agreement,  Japanese  public  opinion 
began  rapidly  to  pay  attention  to  the  significance  of  this 
problem.  For  the  activities  of  powerful  American  firms 
which  were  used  by  the  military  forces  in  Japan  were 
given  special  privileges  and  protections,  and  this  became 
a  heavy  blow  to  the  Japanese  business  world. 

Secondly,  the  means  of  payment  within  the  region 
of  (he  North  Atlantic  Treaty  Agreement  is  in  terms  of 
the  currency  of  the  country  in  which  the  troops  are 
stationed,  while  in  the  U.  S.-Japan  Administrative  Agree 
ment  the  forces  which  are  stationed  in  Japan  can  procure 
directly.  Moreover,  civil  suits  arising  out  of  these  procure 
ment  contracts  do  not  belong  under  the  jurisdiction  of 
Japanese  courts,  according  to  the  interpretation  of  the 
American  side.  By  this  agreement  Japanese  businessmen 
who  accept  these  direct  procurement  orders  from  the 
American  forces  are  placed  in  an  extremely  disadvan 
tageous  position.' 

Thirdly,  according  to  the  U.  S.-Japan  Administrative 
Agreement,  in  criminal  cases  the  principle  of  jurisdiction 
according  to  nationality  is  enjoyed  completely  by  the 
American  forces,  civilians  attached  to  these  forces,  and 
their  dependents.  This  provision  (the  17th  article)  is 
greatly  censured  as  a  humiliating  revival  of  the  principle 
of  extraterritorial  jurisdiction. 

These  provisions  which  are  disadvantageous  to  Japan 
have  stimulated  public  opinion  in  Japan  whenever  a  con 
crete  case  has  arisen,  and  anti-American  feeling  has 


THE  POLITICAL  SITUATION  9 

become  strong  especially  within  the  environs  of  American 
base  camps.  Apparently  the  execution  of  the  Administra 
tive  Agreement  provided  fertile  ground  for  communist 
propaganda  that  "  Japan  is  an  American  colony".  The 
degree  to  which  the  Japanese  Government  endeavors  to, 
and  succeeds  in,  revising  the  Administrative  Agreement 
will  exert  a  significant  influence  upon  Japan's  future. 

The     Problem  of  Rearmament 

In  the  preamble  to  the  U.  S. -Japan  Security  Pact  it 
was  clearly  written  that  America  "  expects  (Japan)  gradu 
ally  to  take  responsibility  herself  for  her  self-defence 
against  direct  or  indirect  aggression."  Subsequently,  as 
Special  Envoy  Dulles  came  to  Japan  to  consult  on  the 
Japanese  defence  problem  not  only  with  Prime  Minister 
Yoshida  but  also  with  former  Admiral  Nomura  and  other 
former  military  men,  the  rearmament  problem  rapidly 
increased  in  importance  from  the  end  of  1951.  In  his 
speech  on  administrative  policy  in  the  Diet  in  January, 
1952,  Prime  Minister  Yoshida  made  clear  a  so-called  plan 
for  the  gradual  increase  of  self-defence  strength.  This 
included  a  plan  to  increase  the  National  Police  Reserve 
from  75,000  to  110,000,  to  establish  a  Marine  Patrol  Corps 
within  the  Marine  Safety  Board  (Kaijo  Hoancho)  by  lend- 
lease  of  60  naval  vessels  from  the  U.  S.,  and  further  to 
establish  a  unified  organisation  of  both  defence  forces. 

In  response  to  American  demands  for  Japanese  re 
armament,  former  army  and  navy  men  began  actively  to 


10  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

try  to  secure  leadership  in  rearmament.  But  Prime 
Minister  Yoshida,  it  was  said,  obtained  Special  Envoy 
Dulles'  consent  for  a  gradual  increase  of  self-defence 
strength  in  place  of  Dulles'  demand  for  rearmament,  on 
the  grounds  that  national  feeling  had  not  arrived  at  a 
point  where  it  would  tolerate  an  open  program  of  re 
armament,  that  the  new  Constitution  made  clear  Japanese 
abandonment  of  war  and  forbade  the  possession  of  war 
potential,  and  that  the  national  economy  could  not  bear 
the  burden  of  rearmament,  etc. 

The  problem  of  the  increase  in  the  Police  Reserve 
became  a  target  for  discussion  in  the  Diet,  but  the  Govern 
ment  insisted  that  the  "  Police  Reserve  is  not  war  po 
tential  but  is  only  a  supplementary  agency  of  the  national 
and  local  police  for  the  purpose  of  maintaining  internal 
peace  and  order,  and  thus  is  not  against  the  Constitution", 
and  in  this  way  railroaded  the  bill  through  the  Diet. 
The  Left-wing  Socialist  Party,  in  the  name  of  its  chair 
man  Suzuki,  on  March  15,  1952,  instituted  a  lawsuit  in 
the  Supreme  Court  against  the  Government  charging 
that  the  Police  Reserve  was  a  violation  of  the  Con 
stitution. 

As  the  increase  of  the  National  Police  Reserve  and 
the  Marine  Patrol  Corps  was  completed  in  the  former 
half  of  1952  as  was  planned  by  the  Government,  on  May 
10th  a  bill  for  a  National  Safety  Agency  was  introduced 
into  the  Diet,  and  despite  vigorous  attacks  by  the  opposi 
tion  parties  it  passed  both  Houses  on  the  last  day  of 


THE  POLITICAL  SITUATION  11 

July.    On  August  1st  the  National  Safety  Agency  began 
operation. 

The  National  Safety  Agency  is  an  extra-ministerial 
(gaikyoku)  agency  of  the  Prime  Minister's  office,  and  the 
head  of  the  N.  S.  A.  controls  and  manages  the  agency 
under  the  direction  and  supervision  of  the  Prime  Minister. 
The  functions  of  the  N.  S.  A.  "  are  the  control,  operation, 
and  management  of  the  corps  which  in  special  cases  is 
called  out  for  the  maintenance  of  the  country's  internal 
peace  and  order  and  for  protection  of  the  people's  life 
and  property."  The  corps  includes  the  National  Safety 
Forces  (formerly  the  National  Police  Reserve)  and  the 
Coast  Guard  Team  (formerly  the  Marine  Patrol  Corps). 
Both  of  these  have  already  adopted  a  considerable  number 
of  former  military  men  as  leaders  and  it  is  said  that 
they  are  ready  for  a  struggle  with  the  civilians  to  acquire 
leadership  of  the  corps. 

The  General  Elections 

August  28,  1952,  on  the  basis  of  article  7  of  the 
Constitution,  the  Yoshida  Cabinet  dissolved  the  National 
Diet.  On  the  same  day  Prime  Minister  Yoshida  explained 
the  reasons  for  the  dissolution  in  a  statement.  "  Up  to 
this  point  we  have  held  fast  to  the  policy  of  not  holding 
a  general  election  until  the  completion  of  our  term  of 
office  on  the  ground  that  we  have  wanted  to  avoid  need 
less  disturbance  of  the  political  situation.  But  upon  deep 
consideration  of  the  situation  of  the  former  Diet  and  the 


12        GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

urgent  national  expectation  for  an  election,  etc.,  we  have 
concluded  that  a  delay  in  the  general  election  would 
produce  and  intensify  uneasiness  in  the  political  and 
economic  worlds.  We  believe  also  that  public  opinion 
tends  to  expect  an  early  dissolution  of  the  National  Diet 
for  the  above  reasons.  Therefore,  the  Government  has 
now  decided  to  dissolve  the  House  of  Representatives  and 
hold  a  general  election." 

The  general  election  of  October  1st  was  held  almost 
four  years  after  the  election  in  January,  1949.  As  the 
Liberal  Party,  backed  by  an  absolute  majority  in  the 
House  of  Representatives,  had  for  these  four  years 
pushed  its  policies,  both  internal  and  external,  with  con 
siderable  force,  this  general  election  sought  to  determine 
the  nation's  approval  or  disapproval  of  the  basic  policies 
of  Yoshida's  Liberal  Party  Cabinet — externally,  coopera 
tion  with  America  or  "  unquestioning  adherence  to 
America "  ("  America  ippento ") ,  and  internally,  free 
economy.  The  other  four  major  parties — Progressive 
Party,  Right-wing  Socialist  Party,  Left-wing  Socialist 
Party,  and  Communist  Party — have  stood  against  the 
Liberal  Party  headed  by  Prime  Minister  Yoshida.  The 
Progressive  Party  which  joined  together  conservative 
political  forces,  descending  from  the  former  Constitutional 
Government  Organisation  (Kenseikai)  and  the  Party  for 
Popular  Government  (Minseito) ,  with  elements  of  the 
National  Cooperative  Party  (Kyodo  Kumiaishugisha) ,  was 
established  February  8,  1952.  These  groups  joined  to- 


THE  POLITICAL  SITUATION  13 

gether  only  because  of  their  anti-Yoshida  position,  for 
in  terms  of  internal  policies  they  ranged  from  a  right- 
wing  which  was  to  the  right  of  the  Liberal  Party  to  a 
left-wing  which  was  near  the  position  of  the  Right-wing 
Socialists.  Mamoru  Shigemitsu,  a  former  war  criminal 
who  was  only  depurged  on  March  24,  1952,  was  elected 
president  of  the  party  at  the  extraordinary  party  assembly 
on  June  13th.  There  is  question  whether  the  existence 
of  a  second  conservative  party  beside  the  Liberal  Party 
is  possible  or  not.  The  birth  of  the  Progressive  Party 
was  based  on  two  facts :  the  lack  of  a  strong  opposi 
tion  party  which  could  succeed  to  political  power — the 
Socialist  Party  which  was  split  into  right  and  left-wings 
was  too  weak;  and  the  existence  of  traditional  clan 
relations  within  the  various  conservative  forces  in  Japan 
which  made  a  combination  or  union  of  these  conservatives 
on  the  basis  of  policies  almost  impossible. 

The  Socialist  Party  split  into  a  right-wing  and  a  left- 
wing  at  the  party  assembly  held  in  Asakusa  Public  Hall 
in  Tokyo  on  October  23-24,  1951 ;  the  Right-wing  Socialists 
stood  in  favor  of  the  Peace  Treaty  and  against  the 
Security  Pact  while  the  Left-wing  Socialists  stood  against 
both  the  Peace  Treaty  and  the  Security  Pact.  It  will  not 
be  easy  to  reunite  these  two  wings,  for  the  cause  of  the 
split  is  related  to  the  very  basis  of  Japanese  foreign 
policy.  As  the  "  unquestioning  adherence  to  America " 
policy  in  Japanese  diplomacy  was  becoming  increasingly 
obvious  in  the  first  half  of  1952,  the  opposition  between 


14  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

the  Right-wing  Socialists,  who  have  tried  to  cooperate 
with  America  in  the  name  of  cooperation  with  the  United 
Nations,  and  the  Left-wing  Socialists,  who  have  tended 
to  become  increasingly  anti- American  in  the  name  of 
independent  neutrality,  has  sharpened  more  and  more. 
The  power  of  the  Left-wing  Socialists  within  the  House 
of  Representatives  was  weak,  but  the  General  Council 
of  Trade  Unions  of  Japan  (Sohyo),  which  holds  an 
absolute  majority  of  Japanese  organized  labor,  strongly 
supported  the  Left-wing  Socialists  so  that  with  the 
conclusion  of  the  U.  S.- Japan  Administrative  Agreement 
which  increased  the  anti-American  feeling  of  the  people, 
the  Left-wing  Socialist  Party  began  to  be  the  most  in 
fluential  opposition  party. 

The  Communist  Party  defined  Japan  as  an  American 
colony,  and  upon  the  judgment  that  the  movement  for 
national  emancipation  from  colonial  status  had  no  other 
weapon  than  armed  struggle,  it  resorted  to  a  program 
of  terrorism  in  which  even  flame-bottles  and  bamboo 
spears  were  employed.  And  this  provoked  the  antipathy 
of  the  people  so  that  the  Communist  policy  of  armed 
struggle  came  to  a  standstill.  At  its  zenith  this  strategy 
resulted  in  the  May  Day  incidents  on  May  1,  1952.  On 
July  15,  1952,  Chief  Party  Secretary  Tokuda  wrote  an 
article  in  the  Cominform  organ  in  commemoration  of 
the  30th  anniversary  of  the  formation  of  the  Japan 
Communist  Party  in  which  he  criticized  the  Japan  Com 
munist  Party's  reliance  upon  armed  struggle  which  had 


THE  POLITICAL  SITUATION  15 

lost  the  support  of  the  masses,  and  from  that  time  com 
munist  terrorism  has  disappeared.  Accordingly,  it  can 
be  said  that  the  Communist  Party  faced  the  general 
elections  under  very  disadvantageous  conditions. 

The    results    of    the    general    elections  of  October  1. 
1952,  are  as  follows  :

THE  ECONOMIC  SITUATION 

by  Carl  Kreider 
International  Christian  University 

A  superficial  examination  would  indicate  that,  the  eco 
nomy  of  Japan  in  1952  showed  relatively  few  ill  effects  of 
the  destructive  war  through  which  Japan  had  passed  only 
a  few  years  before.  One  must  look  a  long  time  before  he 
found  evidence  of  war  damage ;  the  innumerable  stores 
were  well-stocked  with  merchandise,  and  the  people  in 
general  seemed  to  be  well-fed  and  well-clothed.  A  more 
thorough  review,  however,  revealed  some  disquieting  signs. 
It  will  be  the  purpose  of  this  article  first  of  all  to  sum 
marize  the  general  indicators  of  economic  activity  and 
then  to  analyse  the  basic  unresolved  problems  which  the 
Japanese  economy  faces. 

Industrial  Production  in  1952 

The  following  table  shows  the  percentage  change  in 
some  of  the  most  important  indexes  of  economic  activity. 
Since  the  Japanese  statistics  use  1934-36  as  the  base  for 
comparisons,  all  of  the  figures  show  the  percentage  of 
change  since  this  prewar  date.

The  overall  production  was  thus  substantially  above 
the  prewar  level.  These  figures,  however,  must  be  inter 
preted  in  the  light  of  the  following  five  factors. 

In  the  first  place,  a  healthy  economy  is  a  dynamic 
and  not  a  static  one.  An  overall  increase  of  only  27 
per  cent  in  16  to  18  years  can  hardly  be  offered  as  proof 
that  the  Japanese  economy  is  dynamic.  During  approxi-

THE  ECONOMIC  SITUATION  19 

mately  the  same  period,  for  example,  the  Federal  Reserve 
Board  index  of  industrial  production  in  the  United  States 
showed  an  increase  which  was  more  than  four  times  as 
great.  American  industrial  production  in  1952  was  119  per 
cent  in  excess  of  the  level  prevailing  in  1935-39.  Since 
the  Japanese  economy  was  already  operating  on  a  semi- 
war,  or  at  least  preparedness,  basis  in  1934-36,  and  since 
on  the  other  hand  the  American  economy  was  just  emerg 
ing  from  its  most  disastrous  depression  in  1935-39  the 
above  figures  may  tend  to  overstate  the  disparity  between 
Japanese  and  American  economic  development  in  the 
past  two  decades.  Nevertheless,  the  difference  is  entirely 
too  great  to  be  discounted  entirely. 

In  the  second  place,  the  population  of  Japan  increased 
from  the  base  years  1934-36  until  1952  by  almost  pre 
cisely  the  same  percentage  as  the  increase  in  industrial 
production.  For  one  thing  this  means  that  the  physical 
volume  of  industrial  output  per  person  showed  no  in 
crease  at  all.  This  again  is  not  the  indication  of  a 
dynamic  economy.  Again,  it  points  clearly  to  the  problem 
of  acute  population  pressure  in  Japan,  assuredly  one  of 
the  most  persistent  of  the  problems  of  the  Japanese 
economy  and  one  which  is  likely  to  become  more  serious 
before  it  will  be  solved. 

In  the  third  place,  it  will  be  noted  that  for  the  most 
part  the  increase  in  productive  activity  was  in  the  heavy 
industries,  and  that  some  of  the  basic  soft  goods  indus 
tries  (especially  the  highly  important  textile  industries) 


20  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

still  reveal  signs  of  acute  depression.  Indeed,  the  figure 
for  industrial  production  as  a  whole  advanced  only  be 
cause  the  increases  in  the  production  of  the  heavy  goods 
industries  more  than  counterbalanced  the  decreases  in 
the  soft  goods  lines.  People  do  not  wear  or  eat  pig-iron 
and  steel  ingots !  A  high  production  in  these  categories, 
devoted  to  peace  time  ends,  will  probably  result  ultimately 
in  the  improvement  in  the  standard  of  living  of  the 
masses  but  in  the  initial  stages  the  effect  may  be  pre 
cisely  the  opposite.  Another  striking  indication  of  the 
same  fact  is  the  contrast  between  production  of  passenger 
cars  for  trains  and  the  production  of  freight  cars  and  of 
bus  and  truck  chassis.  The  latter,  which  of  course  are 
used  largely  by  industrial  concerns  and  by  the  American 
security  forces,  show  a  healthy  growth.  The  average 
person,  however,  must  still  ride  on  dangerously  over 
crowded  trains  because  despite  the  growth  in  population 
in  the  meantime  fewer  passenger  cars  for  trains  are 
being  produced  today  than  were  manufactured  approxi 
mately  20  years  ago. 

In  the  fourth  place,  production  especially  of  heavy 
goods  would  need  to  proceed  at  a  high  pace  for  a  num 
ber  of  years  to  make  up  for  the  heavy  destruction  of  the 
war.  Modern  wars  are  destructive  in  two  ways.  The 
most  obvious  destruction  is  the  physical  loss  of  homes, 
factories,  schools,  hospitals,  railway  rolling  stock,  high 
ways,  bridges,  power  plants  and  the  like.  It  is  a  well- 
known  fact  that  there  were  only  two  cities  of  over  100,000 


THE  ECONOMIC  SITUATION  21 

population  which  were  not  at  least  partially  destroyed  by 
American  air  raids.  It  has  been  estimated  that  40  per 
cent  of  the  area  of  66  major  cities  was  destroyed  by 
these  raids.  The  great  Japanese  merchant  marine  was 
virtually  wiped  out.  The  amount  of  wood,  steel,  cement, 
and  glass  required  to  replace  these  tremendous  losses 
would  in  itself  tax  the  productive  powers  of  any  advanced 
industrial  nation  for  a  number  of  years.  Total  war, 
however,  results  in  a  more  subtle  destruction  of  capital 
goods  than  the  spectacular  and  catastrophic  destruction 
inflicted  from  the  air.  In  normal  periods  of  peace  busi 
nessmen  plan  so  that  replacements  of  buildings,  machin 
ery  and  equipment  may  proceed  smoothly  from  year  to 
year  rather  than  be  concentrated  at  irregular  intervals. 
Similarly  school  boards  and  hospital  boards  plan  replace 
ments  of  their  facilities  so  that  only  a  few  need  to  be 
built  in  any  one  year.  On  the  other  hand,  a  country 
that  is  engaged  in  a  total  war  needs  to  direct  all  pos 
sible  productive  effort  during  war  time  to  the  production 
of  military  supplies.  As  a  result,  the  productive  machin 
ery  of  a  country  gradually  wears  out  during  the  course 
of  a  war  and  is  not  replaced.  Therefore,  many  of  the 
factories  and  much  of  the  machinery  in  Japan  which 
were  not  destroyed  by  bombs  were  relatively  useless 
after  the  war  because  they  were  either  worn  out  or 
hopelessly  obsolete.  This  same  factor  was  present  in 
the  United  States  and  helps  to  explain  the  shortages  of 
essential  goods  there  following  the  war,  even  though 


22  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

production  in  America  was  maintained  at  a  high  level 
throughout  the  war  and  there  was  no  destruction  from 
the  air. 

In  the  fifth  place,  Japan  in  1952  was  still  suffering 
from  the  virtual  paralysis  of  her  economy  in  the  four 
year  period  of  1945  through  1948.  Pig  iron,  for  example, 
which  was  being  produced  in  1952  at  a  rate  of  80  per 
cent  above  the  level  before  the  war  was  being  produced 
at  only  about  one-half  of  its  prewar  volume  as  late  as 
1948,  and  the  figures  for  the  preceding  three  years  were 
still  lower.  A  large  amount  of  production  at  a  high  level 
for  a  number  of  years  will  be  required  to  make  up  for 
the  losses  occasioned  by  the  slow  pace  of  production  in 
the  immediate  postwar  years. 

Foreign  Trade 

The  above  points  show  why  there  is  no  room  for 
complacency  concerning  the  present  state  of  the  Japanese 
economy.  It  has  shown  remarkable  recovery  but  it  still 
shows  many  of  the  ill  effects  of  a  disastrous  war.  When 
one  turns  from  a  consideration  of  production  to  a  study 
of  Japanese  foreign  trade  the  result  is  still  more  dis 
quieting.  When  one  makes  allowances  for  the  changes 
in  the  value  of  the  yen,  imports  to  Japan  in  1952  were 
about  19  per  cent  less  than  they  had  been  in  1936 
and,  more  significantly  still,  exports  were  45  per  cent 
less.  This  helps  to  explain  why  Japanese  people  seem 
fairly  well  dressed  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  the  Japan- 


THE  ECONOMIC  SITUATION 


23 


ese  textile  industry  as  a  whole  was  running  at  less 
than  half  of  its  prewar  rate.  Japan  has  simply  lost 
a  substantial  share  of  its  former  export  market  for  tex 
tiles.  The  loss  of  this  market  is  particularly  serious  in 
view  of  the  fact  that  Japan  in  some  way  must  find  the 
means  to  pay  for  raw  materials  not  available  in  adequate 
quantities  domestically  and  also  for  its  approximate  15 
per  cent  food  deficit.

In  many  respects  the  above    table   showing   the   dis 
tribution  of  the  foreign  trade  of  Japan  is  more  significant 
than  the  bare  fact  that  Japan's  foreign  trade  has  not  shown 
the  recovery  manifested  by  Japanese  industrial   produc 
tion  statistics.    In   1952   Japan   was   importing   a   larger 


24  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

percentage  of  its  needs  from  the  United  States  than  was 
the  case  before  the  war,  but  Japan  is  exporting  a  con 
siderably  smaller  percentage  of  its  surplus  to  the  United 
States  than  was  true  before  the  war.  In  sharp  contrast, 
Japan  was  importing  less  from  Europe  and  Asia  than 
she  did  before  the  war  but  was  maintaining  her  prewar 
proportion  of  exports  to  these  areas.  This  was  true  in 
spite  of  the  fact  that  highly  important  areas  in  Asia  were 
behind  the  iron  curtain  in  1952.  Trade  with  China,  for 
example,  was  almost  non-existent  in  1952  whereas  (largely 
because  of  Japanese  interests  in  Manchuria)  it  was  roughly 
of  the  same  order  of  importance  as  the  United  States 
trade  with  Japan  before  the  war,  Japan  also  obviously 
was  suffering  from  the  virtual  cessation  of  trade  with 
North  Korea. 

Although  the  condensed  figures  in  the  above  table  do 
not  indicate  this  fact,  Japanese  trade  with  India  and 
Pakistan  was  very  important  in  1952.  In  fact,  this  bifur 
cated  country  with  its  low  standard  of  living  bought 
nearly  as  much  from  Japan  as  wealthy  United  States. 
On  the  other  hand,  Japan  bought  only  about  one-fifth  as 
much  from  India  and  Pakistan  as  Japan  bought  from  the 
United  States  in  1952.  It  is  probable  that  this  situation, 
if  it  persists,  will  cause  India  and  Pakistan  either  to  take 
measures  to  curtail  imports  from  Japan  or  to  insist  that 
Japan  expand  its  purchases  in  the  Indian  market. 

These  figures  point  up  in  bold  relief  a  basic  uneasiness 
about  the  future  of  the  Japanese  economy.  Before  the 


THE  ECONOMIC  SITUATION  25 

war  Japan  was  able  to  maintain  merchandise  imports  in 
excess  of  exports  because  of  Japanese  income  from  foreign 
investments  and  from  her  merchant  marine.  During  the 
war  both  of  these  sources  of  foreign  exchange  were  lost. 
Since  the  war  Japan  has  been  able  to  import  more  from 
the  United  States  than  she  has  exported  to  the  United 
States  largely  because  American  security  forces  have 
been  spending  money  in  Japan  at  the  rate  of  something 
over  one-half  billion  dollars  each  year.  This  sum,  of 
course,  is  not  as  large  as  the  United  States  has  been 
spending  for  military  and  economic  aid  to  Europe,  but  it 
raises  the  persistently  disturbing  question:  What  will 
happen  to  the  Japanese  economy  when  the  spending  stops? 
Clearly  the  only  long  run  solution  to  the  problem  is  to 
develop  new  export  markets  abroad.  The  question  re 
mains:  where  and  how? 

The  most  natural  market  for  Japanese  exports  would 
appear  to  be  Korea,  China,  and  the  southeast  Asian 
countries  rather  than  the  United  States  because  these 
former  areas  are  much  closer  geographically  to  Japan  than 
is  the  United  States.  It  must  be  remembered,  however, 
that  the  foreign  trade  map  of  a  country  is  basically  a 
map  of  transportation  costs  and  these  costs  are  by  no 
means  always  directly  proportional  to  geographic  distance. 
Transportation  costs  over  seas  are  much  less  than  trans 
portation  costs  over  land,  especially  where  inland  trans 
portation  facilities  are  only  poorly  developed  as  they  are 
in  much  of  southeast  Asia.  It  may,  therefore,  be  much 


26  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

cheaper  to  transport  goods  over  the  vast  expanse  of  the 
Pacific  to  the  United  States  than  it  is  to  transport  the 
same  goods  to  an  inland  area  in  southeast  Asia  that  is 
much  closer  to  Japan. 

The  American  tariff  is  by  no  means  the  only  difficulty 
the   Japanese    economy   will   encounter   in   attempting  a 
further  penetration  of  the  American  market,  but  it  most 
assuredly  is  that  aspect  of  the  Japanese  problem   which 
Christians    in   America   are  in  the  best  position  to  meet. 
When  American  protectionist  interests  back  in  the  middle 
of  the  19th   century   saw   that   their   "  infant   industry " 
argument  for  a  protective  tariff  was  hardly  applicable  to 
an  economy   where   industrial    giants   had   replaced    the 
erstwhile  infants,  the  argument  was  shifted  to  the  "  pau 
per  labor  "  argument.    Tariffs  were  held  to  be  necessary 
to   protect   the   high   level   of  wages    prevailing    in   the 
United  States  against  unfair  competition  with  the  "  pau 
per  "    levels    obtaining    abroad.     This    utterly    fallacious 
argument    made   a    profound    impression    in    the    United 
States,  and  since  it  was  accepted  as  "  true  "  it  obviously 
applied  with  greater  cogency  to  Japan  and  other  Oriental 
countries   than   it   did    to   Canada    and    the   countries  of 
western  Europe.    As   a   result,   new   classifications   were 
inserted   in   the   American  tariff  which  were  designed  to 
impose  higher  rates  of  duty   on   low-cost   Japanese   pro 
ducts   than   were   levied  upon  products  from  other  parts 
of  the  world.    Even  when  the   United   States   started   to 
reduce  its  tariffs  through   the   Reciprocal   Trade   Agree- 


THE  ECONOMIC  SITUATION  27 

ments  program  in  the  1930's  extraordinary  effort  was 
made  to  insure  that  American  tariff  "  concessions  "  were 
not  extended  to  Japan.  In  my  study  of  the  Anglo-Ameri 
can  trade  agreement  concluded  in  1938,  for  example,  I 
found  that  over  40  specific  tariff  reclassifications  had 
been  made  so  as  to  exclude  Japan  from  the  benefits  of 
the  agreement. 

It  is  a  well  known  fact  that  the  staple  export  from 
Japan  to  the  United  States  before  the  war  was  raw  silk 
and  that  the  development  of  synthetic  fibers  in  the  United 
States  has  largely  destroyed  this  market.  Japan  cannot 
continue  to  buy  from  the  United  States  unless  some  export 
can  be  found  which  will  substitute  for  this  loss.  Appar 
ently  there  will  always  be  some  selfish  individuals  in  the 
United  States  whose  blood  pressure  will  invariably  rise 
whenever  Japan  is  successful  in  finding  a  product  suitable 
for  exporting  to  the  United  States,  whether  that  product 
be  tuna  fish,  silk  scarves,  or  optical  goods.  Perhaps  in 
the  past  Americans  with  an  international  point  of  view 
have  been  too  prone  to  emphasize  only  the  economic  fal 
lacy  inherent  in  this  selfishness  (and  that  it  is  a  profound 
fallacy  any  economist  would  agree)  but  not  sufficiently 
alert  to  show  how  basically  un-Christian  it  is. 

Can  Japan  penetrate  the  southeast  Asian  market  ? 
The  figures  quoted  above  would  indicate  that  Japan  al 
ready  has  to  an  extent  that  is  far  greater  than  is  com 
monly  realized.  There  are,  however,  some  significant 
obstacles.  In  so  far  as  these  areas  are  colonial  areas 


28  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

Japan  must  face  the  protectionist  sentiment  of  British  and 
Western  European  manufacturers  who  tend  to  regard  the 
colonies  as  their  own  private  markets  and  who  accordingly 
have  imposed  protectionist  devices  more  insidious  than 
even  the  unconscionable  American  tariff.  For  example, 
Rockefeller  Foundation  experts  found  that  the  only  per 
manent  cure  for  hookworm  in  some  of  these  areas  would 
result  when  the  natives  wore  shoes.  The  importation  of 
cheap  rubber  shoes  from  Japan,  designed  to  meet  this 
need,  however,  alarmed  shoe  manufacturers  in  Britain  and 
they  in  turn  persuaded  the  British  goverment  to  impose 
a  quota  on  shoe  imports  from  Japan  which  virtually 
destroyed  the  Japanese  market  in  these  colonial  areas. 
Hookworm  persists  because  the  natives,  unable  to  pay 
for  the  higher  priced  British  shoes,  were  forced  to  go 
barefoot.  Another  obstacle  to  the  extension  of  Japanese 
shoes  in  southeast  Asia  is  that  Japanese  militarism  has 
left  a  legacy  of  hate  in  some  of  these  areas  which  only 
time  can  erase.  Finally,  Japan  no  longer  enjoys  the  ad 
vantages  of  early  industrialization  which  were  hers  before 
the  war.  In  this  respect,  Japan's  external  economic  posi 
tion  is  somewhat  analogous  to  that  of  Great  Britain,  and 
Japan  may  be  faced  in  the  years  ahead  with  some  of  the 
same  problems  which  have  plagued  Britain  in  postwar 
years. 

Can  Japan  penetrate  the  markets  of  communist  Asia? 
Unfortunately,  this  question  is  usually  considered  on  an 
emotional  rather  than  a  rational  basis  by  both  pro-  and 


29 

anti-communists  so  that  any  answer  may  cause  the  reader 
to  try  to  categorize  the  political  views  of  the  respondent. 
Several  pertinent  points  may,  however,  be  noted.  In  the 
first  place,  there  is  often  a  tendency  to  exaggerate  the 
potentialities  of  the  market  in  communist  China.  An 
American  once  wrote  a  book  on  China  entitled  "  400  Mil 
lion  Customers ",  but  he  forgot  that  large  segments  of 
this  vast  group  subsist  under  a  standard  of  living  that 
affords  little  chance  for  the  purchase  of  even  low  cost 
products  from  abroad.  Except  for  relatively  large  exports 
of  capital  goods  for  the  economic  development  of  Man 
churia  after  1931  Japan  exported  relatively  little  to  China 
even  in  the  period  before  the  Sino-Japanese  war.  Even 
if  the  miracle  happened  and  trade  with  China  became 
relatively  free  of  Communist  controls,  it  would  not  be 
surprising  if  the  total  volume  of  trade  remained  smaller 
than  most  of  the  enthusiastic  proponents  of  such  trade 
expect.  In  the  second  place,  trade  between  relatively 
free  economies  (such  as  Japan)  and  the  highly  controlled 
economies  characteristic  of  communist  countries,  although 
not  impossible,  is  fraught  with  grave  difficulties.  Since 
the  days  of  Hitler's  trade  agreements  of  the  1930's 
many  businessmen  in  the  free  economies  have  wondered 
whether  a  balance  of  trade  was  really  worth  the  effort  it 
caused. 

In  spite  of  these  admitted  difficulties,  the  American 
attitude  of  banning  trade  between  Japan  and  communist 
China  in  a  large  variety  of  categories  does  not  seem  to 


30  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

be  the  wisest  course  to  follow.  Certainly  it  is  a  policy 
which  is  not  likely  to  impress  Japanese  people  with  the 
Christian  goodwill  of  their  American  neighbors.  Even 
though  Japan  is  an  independent  nation  the  United  States 
has  succeeded  in  imposing  more  restrictions  upon  Japa 
nese  trade  with  communist  China  than  are  imposed  upon 
American  trade  with  Soviet  Russia.  This  is  another  area 
in  which  informed  Christian  opinion  in  America  could 
point  the  way  to  a  better  arrangement. 

The  Price  Level 

In  conclusion,  two  other  factors  in  the  Japanese 
economy  deserve  at  least  brief  attention,  namely  the 
developments  in  the  price  level  (cost  of  living)  and  the 
developments  in  labor-management  relations.  During  1952 
the  retail  price  level  fell  slightly  below  that  prevailing  in 
1951,  largely  because  of  the  mild  economic  recession  ex 
perienced  in  Japan  after  about  the  middle  of  the  year. 
The  consumer  price  index  in  Tokyo,  however,  remained 
fairly  steady  at  about  the  level  prevailing  at  the  end  of 
1951,  and  because  of  the  rise  of  prices  in  1951  the  average 
price  level  for  1952  was  actually  somewhat  higher  than 
the  average  for  the  entire  year  of  1951.  One  of  the 
remarkable  features  of  the  economy  of  postwar  Japan 
is  the  degree  of  price  stability  which  has  been  achieved 
since  1949  following  the  runaway  inflation  of  the  im 
mediate  postwar  years.  Japan's  prices  increased  only  17 
per  cent  since  1949  and  this  compares  favorably  with  the 


THE  ECONOMIC  SITUATION  31 

United  States  in  the  same  period.  One  of  the  problems 
frequently  discussed  in  government  and  financial  circles 
in  Japan,  especially  after  the  onset  of  the  slight  reces 
sion  in  mid- 1952,  was  whether  Japan  was  not  pursuing  a 
policy  that  tended  to  be  too  deflationary.  This  was  more 
than  a  post-independence  reaction  to  the  austerities  im 
posed  by  the  "  Dodge  line  ",  and  debate  on  this  question 
is  likely  to  persist  if  the  recession  continues.  Price  level 
changes,  however,  can  hardly  be  called  a  major  economic 
problem  of  1952. 

Labor  Relations 

Because  of  the  recession  following  mid-1952,  unemploy 
ment  in  Japan  increased  somewhat  during  the  year.  It 
is  difficult  to  assess  the  precise  magnitude  of  the  increase 
because  of  the  widespread  prevalence  of  partial  unemploy 
ment.  Official  estimates  of  approximately  500,000  wholly 
out  of  work  and  a  slightly  larger  number  presently  laid 
off  due  to  a  "  temporary "  curtailment  of  operations  at 
their  factories  are  not  alarmingly  high  for  an  economy 
with  a  labor  force  of  the  size  of  the  Japanese.  In  addi 
tion,  however,  there  are  official  estimates  of  over  5  mil 
lion  persons  employed  only  part  of  the  time  and  therefore 
unable  to  earn  full  pay.  Furthermore,  there  were  some 
indications  that  this  type  of  unemployment  was  increasing 
at  the  end  of  the  year. 

Another  of  Japan's  basic  economic  problems  which 
was  unresolved  at  the  end  of  the  year  was  the  level  of 


32  THE  GENERAL  ^    RVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

wages  of  workingmen.  Japan  needs  export  markets,  and 
in  order  to  capture  these  markets  Japanese  costs  of  pro 
duction  must  be  maintained  at  a  low  level.  Is  this  objec 
tive  compatible  with  the  legitimate  interests  of  the  nearly 

6  million  members  of  Japanese  trade-unions  and  the  many 
millions   more  nonunionized  Japanese  workers  for  higher 
rates  of  pay?    Many  observers  are  skeptical. 

The  official  statistics  show  that  trade-union  member 
ship  increased  by  approximately  33,000  during  1952.  This 
small  increase,  however,  was  less  than  the  increase  in 
the  number  of  wage  earners.  Furthermore,  total  union 
membership  was  still  nearly  a  million  short  of  the  peak 
figure  reached  in  1948.  The  most  significant  strikes  during 
the  year  were  by  the  coal  miners  and  the  electrical  workers. 
The  coal  miners'  dispute  resulted  in  a  cessation  of  mining 
from  October  13  until  the  dispute  was  settled  on  December 

7  when  the  workers  were  granted  a  7  per   cent  increase 
in  pay,  an  incentive  allowance  of  Y300  per  month  and  a 
loan  of  Y5,000  for  each  miner.    The  loss  of  coal  resulted 
in  grave  power  shortages  which  were  aggravated  by  the 
unusually  dry  winter  (less  hydroelectric  power)  and    the 
periodic  work  stoppages  by  the  electrical  workers'  union. 
The  first  wave  of  power  stoppages  were  imposed  by  the 
union  on  September  24  and  they  continued  intermittently 
until  the  dispute  was  finally  settled  on  December  18.    In 
spite  of  the  seriousness  of  these  strikes,  in   neither   case 
did  the  Japanese  government  intervene  with  drastic  action 
to  force  their  settlement. 


THE  SOCIAL  SITUATION 

by  Kazutaka  Watanabe 

The  year  1952  was  one  of  the  most  significant  years 
in  the  long  history  of  Japan,  for  it  was  then  that  she 
again  became  an  independent  country  after  seven  long 
years  of  occupation.  Japan,  which  had  remained  aloof 
from  the  struggles  and  sufferings  of  Europe  and  America 
during  the  last  two  thousand  years,  had  blindly  entered 
into  war  with  the  entire  world  and  had  been  taught  a 
valuable  and  painful  lesson  by  the  unconditional  surrender 
and  a  long  foreign  occupation.  In  a  way  the  years  of 
occupation  served  as  an  initiation  for  Japan  into  the 
history  of  reflection  and  suffering  of  mankind. 

In  April,  1952,  Japan  successfully  emerged  from  the 
initiation  ordeal  and  was  admitted  as  a  full-fledged  mem 
ber  into  the  world  family  of  nations.  Consequently,  there 
was  every  reason  to  believe  that  this  important  and  his 
toric  year  should  be  filled  with  significant  political  and 
social  events.  Without  going  into  detail  it  will  be  help 
ful  to  make  a  general  survey  of  the  most  noteworthy 
characteristics  of  the  events  of  this  year. 

The  most  characteristic  feature  of  1952  was  that  it 
was  the  year  of  "  declaration  of  war  by  the  communists 
against  capitalism "  and  simultaneously  the  year  of 

33 


34  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

"  counter-attack  by  capitalism  "  combined  with  rightism 
and  imperialism.  The  communists  declared  that  "  the 
defeat  in  the  war  was  exactly  what  we  wanted,"  and 
that  "  the  occupation  was  the  ideal  preparation  for  the 
coming  revolution  in  Japan."  The  capitalists,  on  the 
other  hand,  maintained  that  the  menace  of  communism 
inside  and  outside  Japan  was  very  effective  justification 
for  their  raison  d'etre,  and  the  Korean  war  served  to 
encourage  the  industrial  barons  who  are  closely  connected 
with  latent  militarists. 

The  more  rigid  and  far-reaching  the  occupation 
policies  became  the  more  the  communists  welcomed  them, 
for  they  felt  these  policies  would  necessarily  create  more 
antagonism  and  resistance  among  the  masses  of  the  people 
who  would  thus  be  led  into  anti- American  and  pro-Soviet 
sentiments.  At  the  same  time  the  governmental  au 
thorities,  weak  as  they  were,  did  not  hesitate  to  utilize 
the  name  and  power  of  SCAP  to  revise  the  labor  laws, 
promulgate  the  Subversive  Activities  Prevention  Law,  and 
strengthen  the  Police  Reserve.  Masses  of  non-thinking 
people  were  caught  between  these  two  camps  which 
played  irresponsibly  upon  the  emotions  and  feelings  of 
the  people. 

1952  marked  the  formal  opening  of  World  War  III 
which  is  not  merely  a  geographic  war  but  a  class  war. 
In  Korea  this  has  burst  into  a  full-scale  clash  of  armies. 
In  Japan  two  "  armies "  went  into  action  with  pistols, 
clubs,  fire-bombs,  bamboo  spears  and  tear  gas.  The  com- 


THE  SOCIAL  SITUATION  35 

munists  in  Japan  who  number  around  one  million,  includ 
ing  500,000  communist  Koreans,  often  attacked  police 
stations,  government  offices,  railway  stations,  employment 
offices,  and  even  private  homes.  One  significant  episode 
in  this  involved  the  overturning  and  burning  of  U.  S. 
military  cars  in  the  celebrated  May  Day  riot  in  Tokyo. 

Three  basic  principles  were  given  to  the  Japan  Com 
munist  Party  to  be  practiced  during  the  early  stages  of 
the  revolutionary  years  in  Japan.  The  first  two  came  to 
a  successful  climax  in  1952,  and  the  third  was  in  the 
process  of  being  applied. 

1)  The  first  principle  was  that  of  the  "  democratic 
front ".  The  meaning  of  the  word  "  democracy "  has 
been  very  ambiguous  in  Japan.  Communists,  socialists, 
and  conservatives  have  used  the  word,  but  with  different 
meanings.  Both  the  communists  and  the  Occupation 
cried  for  "  democracy ".  It  is  clear,  however,  that  the 
communists  meant  the  word  in  the  sense  of  a  "  dictator 
ship  of  the  proletariat "  and  intended  in  the  name  of 
democracy  to  destroy  all  authority  except  that  of  the 
proletariat.  The  Japanese,  who  have  had  too  many 
authorities  and  too  much  authority  in  every  section  of 
life,  were  jolted  greatly  when  all  traditional  authorities 
were  superceded  by  a  foreign  authority.  Even  the  Divine 
Emperor  was  obliged  to  take  orders  from  the  new  Supreme 
Commander!  The  entire  nation  was  demilitarized  for 
the  first  time,  and  all  wartime  leaders  were  purged. 
Teachers,  parents,  and  police  lost  their  authority.  Parents 


36  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

became  extremely  hesitant  to  discipline  their  children 
for  fear  of  being  called  feudalistic  and  reactionary. 
Teachers  traded  discipline  for  flattery  in  order  to  escape 
being  labelled  undemocratic.  Policemen  gave  their  own 
cigarettes  to  outraged  drunkards  in  order  to  avoid  being 
reported  as  "  bureaucratic  ".  Arrogance  disappeared,  but 
with  it  vanished  the  sense  of  duty  and  the  sense  of 
dignity.  Authorities  sloughed  off  responsibility,  and  license 
reigned.  Consequently,  for  the  last  seven  years  the  Japa 
nese  have  been  drifting  in  confusion  without  any  internal 
leadership.  This  need  for  internal  leadership  has  been 
one  of  the  reasons  for  the  surprisingly  rapid  progress  of 
the  Japan  Communist  Party. 

With  the  cessation  of  the  occupation  in  1952  the  last 
real  authority,  in  Japan  disappeared.  Only  Gen.  MacArthur 
could  have  stopped  the  well-planned  general  strike  of  3 
million  workers  in  1947.  It  is  not  surprising,  therefore, 
that  on  May  Day,  1952,  only  3  days  after  independence, 
5,000  communists,  Koreans,  laborers  and  students  battled 
an  equal  number  of  police  on  the  Imperial  Plaza,  a  street 
war  in  which  nine  died  and  seven  hundred  were  wounded. 

Since  there  is  no  final  authority  in  Japan,  it  will  not 
be  long  before  she  is  driven  to  join  either  the  "  free 
world  "  or  the  "  Soviet  bloc  ",  and  the  year  1952  reflected 
her  leaderless  vascillation  between  the  two. 

2)  The  second  Communist  principle  was  called  "  the 
race  front ".  This  was  cultivated  during  the  occupation. 
Unquestionably  this  occupation  was  the  most  ideal  in 


THE  SOCIAL  SITUATION  37 

history,  a  fact  for  which  almost  all  Japanese,  including 
nationalists  and  militarists,  express  admiration.  But  even 
the  most  ideal  occupation  is  an  unpleasant  experience 
for  the  nation  which  is  occupied,  and  thus  psychological 
antagonism  and  passive  resistance  were  found  in  the 
hearts  of  almost  all  Japanese.  People  grumbled  against 
occupation  policies ;  even  intellectuals  who  understood  the 
situation  whispered  criticisms.  The  communists  played 
upon  these  feelings  with  the  slogan  "  American  freedom 
is  oppression ",  pointing  to  the  fact  that  the  Japanese 
were  prohibited  from  writing  or  speaking  in  criticism  of 
occupation  policies.  Democracy  taught  by  the  occupation 
guaranteed  freedom  of  speech,  but  military  necessity  had 
to  limit  this  freedom. 

It  was  very  natural,  therefore,  that  with  independence 
newspapers,  magazines,  pamphlets  and  books  were  filled 
with  articles  exposing  so-called  "  inside  stories  "  of  what 
went  on  under  the  occupation  that  could  not  be  published 
before.  Dissatisfaction  on  the  part  of  the  people  now 
burst  into  expression,  but  95%  of  the  people  became 
perfectly  satisfied  with  the  freedom  to  speak,  4%  used 
this  freedom  to  express  themselves  in  speaking  and  writ 
ing,  and  only  a  negligible  number  expressed  it  in  physical 
actions.  This  physical  expression  was  seen  in  the  burn 
ing  of  several  U.  S.  cars  on  May  Day  and  also  in  the 
numerous  "Yankee  Go  Home  "  street  demonstrations  in 
large  cities  all  over  Japan.  The  aim  was  obviously  that 
of  rupturing  the  present  relationship  between  America 


38  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

and  Japan.  Japan  is  able  to  maintain  order  and  peace 
in  the  country  only  because  of  the  existence  of  the 
Security  Forces  and  the  Police  Reserves  supported  by 
America.  But  for  these  forces,  Japan  could  have  plunged 
into  total  disorder  immediately  after  independence. 

The  Japanese  people,  in  whose  minds  the  memory  of 
fierce  air  raids,  starvation,  etc.,  is  still  fresh,  naturally 
abhor  war  of  any  kind  and  are  against  foreign  military 
bases,  rearmament  and  anything  connected  with  war 
because  they  imagine  these  things  excite  the  communists 
and  bring  about  war.  This  strong  anti-war  sentiment 
is  reflected  in  all  social  and  political  phenomena  in  Japan 
and  came  to  a  climax  in  1952.  The  problem  of  rearma 
ment  was,  in  fact,  the  central  issue  for  all  political  parties 
at  the  time  of  the  October,  1952,  general  elections.  It  is 
not  an  exaggeration  to  say  that  the  whole  nation  hung 
on  the  point  of  war  or  peace,  for  to  their  thinking  re 
armament  necessarily  meant  war.  And  this  rearmament 
was  said  to  be  strongly  desired  by  America  who  only  a 
few  years  ago  strongly  "  suggested  "  Article  9  of  the  new 
Constitution  which  renounces  war  forever. 

This  contradiction  or  change  of  attitude  in  American 
policy  toward  Japan  made  the  problem  more  complicated. 
Communist  slogans  such  as  "Don't  be  America's  bullet- 
stoppers  ",  "  Don't  be  America's  employed  soldiers  ",  "  Japan 
has  become  America's  colony  ",  etc.,  caught  the  minds  of 
Japanese  easily  and  rapidly.  Communists  claimed  that 
the  presence  of  many  American  military  bases  placed 


THE  SOCIAL  SITUATION  39 

Japan  in  danger  of  becoming  a  battlefield — thus  the 
cries  of  "  No  more  war ;  go  home  Yankee ".  Inflation, 
which  had  been  curbed  by  Mr.  Dodge  under  the  Occupa 
tion,  began  to  increase  again  with  the  start  of  the  Korean 
War,  and  prices  have  been  going  up  ever  since  making 
living  hard  again.  Claiming  that  these  difficult  living  con 
ditions  and  the  menace  of  war  were  the  prices  Japan  paid 
for  independence  and  the  Mutual  Security  Pact,  the  com 
munists  attacked  the  Security  Pact  and  the  "  single  Peace 
Treaty  ".  Riots  in  1952  throughout  Japan  mobilized  tens 
of  thousands  of  people  around  these  slogans.  Still,  they 
reflect  but  a  minority  of  Japan's  population. 

3)  The  third  Communist  principle  was  called  the 
"  world  front "  or  the  "  Stalin  line  ".  The  year  1952  was 
the  climax  of  the  first  two  principles,  and  the  third  began 
in  that  year.  The  underground  revolutionary  army  showed 
part  of  its  armor  in  1952 — flame-bottles  made  their  ap 
pearance,  public  utilities  were  occupied  by  force,  a  Father 
land  Defence  Corps  and  guerillas  were  trained  in  the 
mountains,  courts  and  prisons  were  attacked,  etc. 

Thus  in  1952  an  internally  chaotic  Japan  was  becoming 
externally  dislocated  in  its  relationship  with  America,  being 
legally  independent  but  psychologically  anti-American. 
The  communists  hoped  to  foster  anti-war  sentiment  to 
the  point  where  all  U.  N.  forces  would  be  withdrawn 
from  Japan,  at  which  time  the  long-planned  revolution 
could  be  brought  about. 

This  intention  could  be   readily   seen   in   the   tactics 


40  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

shown  by  the  communists  at  the  time  of  the  October  gen 
eral  elections.  They  could  have  secured  several  seats  in 
the  Diet  if  they  had  so  desired,  but  they  did  not  mean  to 
win  any.  Rather  they  used  the  election  campaign  as  a 
means  for  spreading  their  ideas,  for  thousands  of  people 
flooded  party  rallies  to  hear  what  each  party  had  to  say. 
As  the  communists  knew  they  could  not  control  the 
power  in  the  government  at  this  time,  they  used  the 
platform  to  undermine  confidence  in  the  other  parties 
with  charges  of  corruption,  etc.,  and  to  establish  the 
Communist  Party  as  the  champion  of  the  people. 

The  failure  of  the  Diet  to  seat  a  single  Communist  can 
didate  came  as  a  surprise  to  the  nation  which  had  expected 
them  to  get  from  5  to  10  seats.  The  general  reaction  was 
that  the  period  of  enthusiasm  for  communism  was  over 
and  that  the  nation  showed  its  sound  judgment  in  the 
election.  Several  non-communist  intellectuals  expressed 
their  regrets  that  communist  criticism  of  the  majority 
party  would  not  be  heard  in  the  Diet. 

However,  the  loss  of  Diet  seats  was  not  a  sign  of 
retreat  by  the  Communist  Party.  On  the  contrary,  the 
votes  they  polled  in  this  election  far  surpassed  those  of 
the  previous  general  election.  The  figures  for  the  past 
few  years  follow: 

General   election  in  April  1946      2,139,000  votes 
April  1947      1,600,000     „ 
Jan.     1949      3,000,000     „ 
April  1951         320,000     „ 
Oct.    1952         891,000 


THE  SOCIAL  SITUATION  41 

The  Communists  boasted  that  they  obtained  one  mil 
lion  votes,  three  times  what  they  received  in  the  1951 
general  elections.  "  In  spite  of  all  oppression  and  persecu 
tion,  the  anger  and  indignation  of  the  working  people 
exploded  in  this  one  million  votes."  The  Subversive 
Activities  Prevention  Law,  the  reactionary  Yoshida  govern 
ment,  the  expulsion  of  red  students  from  universities,  the 
refusal  to  employ  reds  by  business  concerns,  the  return 
of  the  "  good  old  days "  along  with  independence,  etc., 
created  a  feeling  among  many  of  the  people  that  the 
days  of  communism  were  gone.  Nevertheless,  it  increased. 

The  most  serious  matter  as  to  the  attitude  of  the 
Communist  Party  concerning  this  election  was  their  open 
declaration  that  they  would  no  longer  take  part  in  the 
parliamentary  system  but  would  fight  outside  and  against 
it.  They  felt  that  the  time  of  the  "  Stalin  line "  was 
approaching  and  that  it  was  too  critical  a  time  to  meddle 
with  the  Diet.  Rather,  the  time  had  come  to  organize 
armed  guerillas,  the  "  armed  core  of  a  revolutionary 
army,"  in  order  to  "  emancipate  Japan  from  being  a 
colony  of  America."  "  The  footsteps  of  the  Emancipation 
Army  are  heard  at  the  door." 


In  the  face  of  fierce  attacks  by  the  communists  on 
these  three  fronts  (the  "  democratic  front,"  "  race  front," 
and  "  world  front") ,  Japanese  capitalists  (however  vague 
and  broad  this  word  may  be)  were  not  sitting  idly  by. 


42  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

They  rallied  themselves,  under  the  banner  of  national 
prosperity  and  security  to  wage  a  desperate  and  aggres 
sive  fight  against  the  flood  of  communism.  During  the 
first  half  of  the  occupation  they  were  almost  totally 
deprived  by  the  unions  of  the  power  of  management  and 
control  of  personnel,  and  were  largely  salary-paying  tools 
of  the  workers.  Management  was  left  to  the  mercy  of 
the  unions  led  by  communists.  Occupation  policy  was  to 
encourage  the  trade-union  movement,  and  though  SCAP 
was  aware  of  the  red  elements  in  the  movement,  they 
could  not  do  much  about  it,  and  this  left  management 
confused  and  frustrated. 

However,  in  July,  1948,  when  government  officials  were 
prohibited  from  engaging  in  collective  bargaining  or  in 
strikes,  and  in  August,  1950,  when  the  "  red  purge  "  began 
among  the  more  important  enterprises,  management 
began  to  stand  on  its  own  feet  and  take  the  offensive. 
Moreover,  the  Korean  War  strengthened  them  tremen 
dously  to  the  point  where  they  were  prepared  not  only 
to  retake  the  ground  they  had  lost  but  to  advance  fur 
ther  against  the  unions.  However,  the  Occupation  detect 
ed  their  undemocratic  motives  and  sought  to  restrict 
their  excesses. 

The  coming  of  independence  in  1952  lifted  all  these 
bonds  and  left  Japanese  capitalists  free  to  pursue  their 
purposes.  With  the  aid  of  the  reactionary  government 
and  fortified  by  public  sentiment  against  the  communist 
iltme-bottle  tactics,  they  were  prepared  to  start  a  large- 


THE  SOCIAL  SITUATION  43 

scale  offensive  against  the  union  movement,  red  and  non- 
red.  They  sought,  if  possible,  to  reduce  the  unions  to 
management-sponsored  organizations.  Japanese  enterpri 
sers'  associations  strengthened  their  secretariats  and 
issued  many  surprisingly  strong  and  reactionary  state 
ments.  Their  declaration  that  they  would  refuse  to 
employ  any  red-tinted  graduates  of  universities  was 
sufficiently  effective  to  dissolve  almost  all  student  poli 
tical  movements  inside  and  outside  schools.  Graduating 
students  at  company  examinations  and  interviews  unan 
imously  declared  themselves  against  communism  and  for 
the  Subversive  Activities  Prevention  Law  in  order  to  pass 
the  examinations. 

In  the  face  of  this  offensive,  the  average  age  of 
members  of  union  executive  committees  became  much 
younger,  in  many  cases  by  ten  years.  Union  members 
with  families  feared  connection  with  union  administration 
because  of  the  danger  of  being  labelled  "dangerous 
persons  "  by  management  and  thus  of  being  quickly  dis 
charged.  Consequently,  these  young  union  officers,  many 
just  over  twenty,  stood  on  inferior  ground  when  bargain 
ing  with  older  management  representatives.  Moreover, 
without  experience  and  maturity  they  often  were  impa 
tient,  resorted  to  violence,  and  drove  members  into  awk 
ward  situations,  thus  losing  the  respect  not  only  of  the 
members  but  of  the  public  as  well  and  giving  the  whole 
union  movement  an  unsound  and  undesirable  appearance. 
Management,  of  course,  lost  no  time  taking  advantage  of 


44  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

their  mistakes  to  denounce  the  unions. 

In  order  to  meet  the  demand  for  military  Roods 
brought  on  by  the  Korean,  War,  the  Japanese  armaments 
industry  had  to  be  centralized  as  before.  Centralization 
of  any  kind  creates  power  in  the  hands  of  the  executives, 
and  certain  groups  of  enterprisers  became  very  powerful 
not  only  in  business  circles  but  also  in  the  government 
and  Diet.  Industrial  barons  again  began  to  give  orders 
to  all  important  organizations,  both  public  and  private. 
Their  strong  desire  was  to  go  back  to  the  prewar  regime, 
erasing  all  laws  and  regulations  put  forth  during  the 
occupation.  They  could  not  think  in  any  terms  except 
those  of  prewar  capitalism  with  its  close  connection  with 
imperialism  and  militarism,  and  they  desired  to  return 
to  these  ways  again. 

However,  "  democracy  "  which  has  been  Japan's  na 
tional  motto  for  the  last  seven  years,  instead  of  "  national 
prosperity  and  strong  armed  forces "  which  had  been 
Japan's  slogan  for  the  last  fifty  years  until  the  end  of 
the  war,  prevented  them  from  going  too  far  and  too 
rapidly.  The  public  which  had  tasted  democracy  would 
not  easily  tolerate  its  destruction.  But  the  May  Day  riots 
gave  them  their  chance.  The  flame-bottle  fights  and  riots 
all  over  Japan  following  the  May  Day  riots  prepared  ideal 
ground  for  the  post-independence  activities  of  the  reac 
tionary  capitalists.  Now  they  could  openly  stand  against 
the  reds  and  against  all  progressives.  Though  the  public 
did  not  welcome  the  return  of  the  reactionary  capitalists, 


THE  SOCIAL  SITUATION  45 

abhorrence  of  communist  violence  has  made  them  accept 
the  second  best,  i.e.,  capitalism.  The  Socialist  Party  divi 
ded  into  left  and  right  wings,  the  left  near  the  commu 
nists,  and  the  right  near  the  conservatives,  leaving  no 
ground  for  socialism. 

The  Korean  War  and  the  threat  of  communist  forces 
in  Korea  gave  support  to  the  conservative  capitalists' 
desire  to  amend  the  Constitution,  particularly  Article  9, 
and  to  re-establish  a  Japanese  army  and  navy.  Despite 
nationwide  opposition  to  the  Subversive  Activities  Pre 
vention  Law,  it  was  passed.  The  conservatives  came 
back  strongly  into  power  in  1952. 

One  example  of  the  reaction  of  labor  to  this  move 
ment  is  seen  in  the  strikes  by  the  electrical  workers  and 
miners  which  took  place  at  the  end  of  1952.  They  were 
the  worst  and  most  entangled  strikes  in  the  history  of 
the  labor  union  movement  in  Japan.  The  number  of 
participants  was  not  as  large  as  that  of  the  general  strike 
which  had  been  planned  for  1947  when  3  million  workers 
were  to  take  part,  nor  as  large  as  the  strike  in  1948  when 
two  million  workers  participated.  This  time  the  number 
was  less  than  half  a  million,  but  as  the  industries  involved 
affected  the  everyday  lives  of  millions  of  citizens  and  also 
the  development  of  various  important  industries  they  were 
extraordinarily  important  strikes.  Many  people  denounced 
the  strikes  and  failed  to  see  the  significant  underlying 
issue  which  was  not  wages  but  union  security.  They 
were,  in  fact,  defensive  actions  against  the  offensive  by 


46  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

management.  The  unions  were  being  divided  and  weak 
ened  by  the  management  offensive,  and  they  felt  that  it 
was  their  last  chance  to  strike  before  it  was  too  late. 
Finally  the  government  stepped  in  and  the  strikes  were 
ended. 

The  year  1952,  then,  was  the  year  when  independence 
gave  Japan  the  chance  to  learn  what  democracy  means 
through  struggle  and  suffering.  She  could  breathe  freely 
once  again,  and  she  was  free  to  make  her  own  policies. 
Modifications  were  begun  in  many  of  the  occupation- 
sponsored  reforms  ;  some  of  the  modifications  were  demo 
cratic,  but  some  were  feudalistic  and  reactionary.  It  was 
the  year  also  when  class-war  emerged  into  the  open. 
For  the  first  four  years  of  the  occupation  this  had 
favored  the  progressive  forces,  but  it  slowly  came  to  a 
balance  and  during  the  last  half  of  1952  it  swung  in 
favor  of  conservative  capitalism.  The  struggle  has  been 
severe,  and  there  is  no  one,  no  organization,  and  no  party 
in  Japan  which  has  been  able  to  stop  it.  It  may  be  good 
that  Japan  passes  through  this  time  of  "  storm  and  pres 
sure  ",  for  through  its  struggles  and  sufferings  Japan  may 
learn  the  ways  of  democracy.

of  the  Grand  Shrine  of  Ise  has  made  great  progress 
during  1952.  The  drive  is  sponsored  by  an  association 
which  was  specially  organised  for  the  purpose  in  the 
fall  of  1949.  It  is  called  "  The  Association  for  Supporting 
the  Periodical  Rebuilding  of  the  Ise  Shrine "  (Ise-jingu 
Shikinen-sengu  Hosankai),  and  has  as  its  chairman  Mr. 
Naotake  Sato,  former  speaker  of  the  House  of  Councillors. 
By  October,  1952,  59^  of  the  goal  amount  had  been  raised  ; 
five  of  the  prefectural  branches  of  the  association  were 
reported  to  have  fulfilled  or  surpassed  their  quotas. 

According  to  Mr.  Sato's  statement  that  appeared  in 
the  October  13  issue  of  the  Shrine  News  (Jinja  Shimpo, 
weekly  organ  of  the  Shrine  Headquarters*),  the  appeal 
for  money  had  been  receiving  a  wide  response,  pledges 
being  sent  not  only  from  all  over  Japan  but  also  from 
Japanese  people  living  in  the  United  States,  Hawaii,  and 


*In  the  Christian  Yearbook  1951  "  Jinja  Honcho "  is  trans 
lated  as  "  Shrine  Association,"  but  honclio  literally  means  head 
quarters  and  thus  implies  a  claim  to  be  more  than  an  association.

Brazil.  According  to  his  statement  Mr.  Sato  expects 
that  nearly  ten  million  people  will  have  joined  his  Associa 
tion  by  the  end  of  1952.  (It  seems,  however,  the  net 
result  at  the  year's  end  was  not  so  good  as  that.)  He 
also  emphasizes  that  the  movement  to  help  rebuild  the 
Grand  Shrine  is  an  affair  not  only  of  the  Shrine  Shintoists 
but  also  of  all  other  Japanese  regardless  of  their  religious 
beliefs.  He  even  says,  "  In  recent  years  there  are  not  a 
few  Christians  who  are  earnest  venerators  of  the  Grand 
Shrine."  It  may  be  worth  while  to  ponder  just  exactly 
what  he  means  or  to  what  facts  he  is  alluding  here. 

It  is  a  long-established  custom  that  the  Grand  Shrine 
should  be  rebuilt  every  twenty  years  in  precisely  the  same 
style  as  before.  The  accomplishment  of  the  fifty-ninth 
rebuilding  has  been  postponed  from  1949  to  1953.  Grand 
ceremonies  will  most  probably  take  place  on  October  2-4, 
1953,  when  the  divine  symbols  and  articles  will  be  carried 
into  the  new  buildings.  At  least  the  two  main  shrines 
of  Naiku  and  Geku  will  have  been  completed  by  that 
time.  A  great  number  of  pilgrims  are  expected  to  come 
from  all  over  the  country  for  the  occasion  and  for  the 
following  festivities  which  will  continue  until  May  10, 1954. 

2.     A  Metamorphosis  of  the  Hosankai  Contemplated 

It  is  important  to  note  in  this  connection  that  the 
central  committee  of  the  Association  for  Supporting  the 
Periodical  Rebuilding  passed  a  resolution  on  December 
9,  1952,  to  convert  the  association  into  a  permanent  organi- 


THE  NON-CHRISTIAN  RELIGIONS  49 

zation  after  the  completion  of  rebuilding.  It  will  then 
be  called  "  The  Association  of  Ise  Shrine  Venerators " 
(Ise-jingu  Sukei-kai),  and  its  aim  will  be  "to  contribute 
to  the  peaceful  development  of  the  Japanese  people  by 
arousing  their  national  consciousness  and  by  promoting 
the  spirit  of  Shinto."  It  will  uphold  and  support  the  Ise 
Shrine,  unite  all  its  venerators  as  well  as  all  shrines  in 
the  country  with  Ise  as  their  center,  and  plan  works  and 
activities  to  promote  the  cause  of  Shrine  Shinto.  The 
association  is  scheduled  to  be  organised  within  one  month 
after  the  grand  ceremonies  in  October. 

This  organization,  in  case  it  is  made,  will  together 
with  the  Shrine  Headquarters  help  consolidate  and  streng 
then  Shinto  forces.  It  may  be  added  here  that  the  Shrine 
Headquarters  has  had  as  its  president  since  May,  1952, 
Priestess  Fusako  Kitashirakawa  of  the  Ise  Shrine,  a  daugh 
ter  of  the  Emperor  Meiji.  The  vice-president  is  Mr. 
Nobusuke  Takatsukasa  whose  son  has  married  one  of  the 
present  Emperor's  daughters.  Those  who  have  read  the 
account  of  Shinto  in  the  Christian  Yearbook  1951  will 
be  interested  to  know  that  the  Sumiyoshi  Shrine,  Osaka, 
finally  came  under  the  Headquarters  in  September,  1952. 
A  number  of  minor  shrines  also  joined  the  association 
during  the  year.

3.     Popularity  Regained 

Not  only  in  connection  with  the  rebuilding  of  the  Ise 
Shrine  but  also  in  other  respects  there  are  signs  that 
show  the  recovery  of  Shinto's  strength  from  the  heavy 
blows  it  received  in  consequence  of  the  war.  Each  year 
sees  a  remarkable  increase  in  the  number  of  worshippers 
who  come  to  shrines  on  festal  occasions.  Figures  given 
by  newspapers  are  only  rough  estimates  and  are  apt  to 
be  exaggerated  (cf.  Christian  Yearbook,  1951,  p.  64f.), 
but  one  must  accept  the  fact  that  the  railway  station 
near  the  Meiji  Shrine  found  it  necessary  to  build  an 
additional  platform  for  the  special  use  of  pilgrims  on 
New  Year's  Day,  1953.  On  November  3,  the  centennial 
of  the  birth  of  the  Emperor  Meiji,  some  200,000  are  said 
to  have  used  that  station  in  order  to  visit  the  shrine. 

On  the  occasion  of  the  centennial  a  supporters'  as 
sociation  similar  to  that  for  the  Ise  Shrine  was  organised 
to  restore  the  Meiji  Shrine  which  is  now  in  ruinous  con 
dition.  500  million  yen  is  expected  to  be  necessary  for 
the  purpose.  The  high  priest  of  the  shrine  is  Mr.  Taka- 
tsukasa. 

One  might  get  the  impression  that  Shrine  Shinto  was 
becoming,  not  again  a  full  state  religion  to  be  sure,  but 
a  semi-state  religion.  Curiously  enough,  while  it  was 
actually  a  state  religion  the  government  declared  it  not 
be  a  religion  but  a  part  of  the  functions  of  the  state,  and 
thus  established  in  this  sophisticated  way  a  super-religion 


THE  NON-CHRISTIAN  RELIGIONS  51 

supported  by  public  money.  The  result  of  the  war  put 
an  end  to  this  condition  of  Shinto,  and  all  shrines  have 
now  to  register  as  voluntary  religious  institutions.  But 
Japanese  people  in  general  still  associate  Shinto  closely 
with  the  Imperial  Household  as  well  as  with  the  destiny 
of  the  nation.  Actually  it  is  very  difficult  to  draw  a  line 
where  state  functions  end  and  the  religious  functions  of 
Shinto  begin.  The  Emperor  himself  went  to  the  Ise 
Shrine  on  June  3,  1952,  to  report  to  his  ancestral  goddess 
on  the  Peace  Treaty  having  taken  effect,  while  any  rite 
of  religious  significance  was  scrupulously  avoided  at  the 
installation  ceremony  of  the  Crown  Prince  on  November  10. 

Incidentally,  this  installation  ceremony  gave  occasion 
to  an  interesting  discussion  between  two  leading  scholars 
of  Tokyo  University.  Dr.  Yanaihara,  President  of  the 
University,  who  had  attended  the  cererhony,  remarked  in 
a  newspaper  that  he  had  missed  there  any  religious 
significance  and  suggested  that  the  ceremony  could  have 
symbolized  the  Prince  humbly  accepting  his  appointment 
from  God.  This  statement  was  then  criticised  by  Prof. 
Miyazawa  who  said  that  the  religionless  ceremony  was 
quite  correct  from  the  standpoint  of  the  present  constitu 
tion  of  Japan  which  sharply  separates  religion  and  state. 

The  regained  popularity  of  Shinto,  however,  is  not 
simply  due  to  its  close  association  with  the  Imperial 
Family  and  to  the  influence  of  the  national  policies  of  the 
period  prior  to  August  14,  1945,  but  also,  perhaps  chiefly, 
due  to  the  optimistic  life-affirming  philosophy  of  Shinto 


52  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

itself.  In  marked  contrast  to  this  the  philosophy  of 
Buddhism  as  it  is  popularly  understood  is  pessimistic, 
life-negating,  and  otherworldly.  It  is  therefore  psycho 
logically  understandable  that  most  Japanese  go  to  Shinto 
shrines  to  pray  for  happiness  and  prosperity  in  this  life 
on  earth  and  to  have  wedding  ceremonies  performed, 
while  the  same  persons  go  to  Buddhist  temples  on  the 
memorial  days  of  the  dead  and  for  funeral  services.  Of 
course,  they  could  be  married  by  a  Buddhist  priest  before 
a  Buddhist  altar  or  be  buried  with  Shinto  rites  when  they 
die,  but  people  in  most  cases  do  not  prefer  to  be  married 
or  to  die  that  way. 

It  would  be  a  great  mistake,  however,  to  think  that 
Shinto  shrines  are  today  financially  well  off.  Spoiled  by 
long  years  of  state  support,  Shinto  priests  haven't  yet 
learned  how  to  organise  their  believers  so  that  they  will 
pay  regular  dues.  They  just  depend  on  the  free-will 
offerings  of  occasional  visitors  to  their  shrines  and  on 
fees  for  weddings  and  other  rites  specially  performed  by 
request.  So  except  for  very  rare  cases  priests  have  to 
support  themselves  chiefly  by  school-teaching  or  other 
kinds  of  work. 

4.     Shinto  Sects 

The  Religions  Section  of  the  Education  Office  lists, 
as  of  April  2,  1951,  255  Shinto  sects,  including  Shrine 
Headquarters.  Of  these  sects  23  are  regarded  as  vari 
eties  of  Shrine  Shinto,  while  98  are  the  thirteen  older 


THE  NON-CHRISTIAN  RELIGIONS  53 

sects*  and  those  that  have  branched  off  from  them.  The 
remaining  134  are  entirely  new  sects  of  Shinto  coloring. 
Some  of  the  sects  will  be  discussed  later  under  section  III. 

II.    BUDDHISM 

1.     Revival  of  Sectarianism 

In  the  prewar  period  there  were  53  sects  and 
denominations  of  Japanese  Buddhism.**  The  Religious 
Bodies  Law  of  1941  reduced  their  number  to  28.  After 
the  war  the  law  was  abolished  and  complete  freedom  of 
religion  has  been  guaranteed  by  the  new  Constitution. 
As  a  result,  not  only  those  prewar  sects  and  denomina 
tions  which  had  lost  their  independence  have  been  re 
established,  but  also  a  great  number  of  new  sects  have 
arisen.  There  are  over  200  of  these,  so  that  the  total 


*One  of  the  13  sects,  Izumo  Taishakyo,  was  merged  with  the 
Izumo  Grand  Shrine  into  a  new  shrine  organisation  called  Izumo 
Oyashiro-kyo  on  March  31,  1951.  As  a  result  it  had  to  secede  from 
the  Federation  of  Shinto  Sects.  Cf.  Christian  Yearbook, 
1951,  p.  66f. 

**  Whenever  it  is  found  necessary  to  distinguish  between  shu  and 
ha,  the  present  writer  has  used  "  sect "  for  the  former  and 
"  denomination "  for  the  latter.  There  are  13  major  shu  in 
Japanese  Buddhism :  Tendai,  Shingon,  Ritsu,  Jodo,  Rinzai,  Soto, 
Obaku,  Shin,  Nichiren,  Ji,  Yuzu-nembutsu,  Hosso,  and  Kegon. 
Each  of  them,  except  Ji  and  Kegon,  has  been  differentiated  into 
several  ha.  But  the  term  "  sect "  has  also  been  used  to  indicate 
any  independent  religious  organisation,  whether  it  is  technically 
shu  or  ha. 


54  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

number  of  Buddhist  sects  and  denominations  amounts  to 
257,  as  of  April  2,  1951.  Most  of  them  can  be  classified 
with  such  major  sects  as  Tendai,  Shingon,  Jodo,  Rinzai, 
etc.,  but  there  are  31  sects  which  defy  any  classification. 

The  fact  that  a  large  proportion  of  the  new  Buddhist 
sects  belong  either  to  the  Shingon  (58  sects)  or  to  the 
Nichiren  (61  sects)  varieties  may  be  taken  as  indicating 
that  these  two  shu  provide  particularly  fertile  soil  for 
the  budding  of  new  religious  movements. 

One  is  tempted  to  ask  whether  this  sudden  growth 
of  new  sects  and  denominations  means  strength  or  weak 
ness  in  Japanese  Buddhism,  but  no  ready  answer  can  be 
expected.  For  each  sest  must  be  studied  individually 
as  to  the  circumstances  of  its  rise,  the  character  of 
its  leaders,  and  its  tenets  and  practices  before  any 
generalisation  can  be  made.  One  has  to  note,  however, 
that  this  phenomenon  has  appeared  after  government 
subsidies  ceased  to  come  to  Buddhist  temples.  These 
new  sects  as  well  as  the  older  ones  have  now  to  depend 
entirely  upon  their  own  financial  resources.  The  very 
fact  that  they  exist  means  that  they  have  the  means. 
So  to  say  the  least  one  can  find  in  this  phenomenon  the 
strong  tenacity  of  Buddhist  tradition  and  its  ability  to 
adapt  itself  to  the  postwar  situation  of  Japan. 


THE  NON-CHRISTIAN  RELIGIONS  55 

2.  Democracy  Introduced 

Another  feature  in  the  postwar  development  of 
Japanese  Buddhism  is  found  in  the  efforts  made  by 
various  sects  to  democratize  their  organisations.  More 
voice  has  been  given  to  the  laity  than  ever  before.  For 
instance,  in  the  Jodo-Shin  Sect  since  1951  important 
matters  are  decided  by  a  general  assembly  in  which  both 
clergy  and  laity  are  represented.  There  is  also  a  wide 
spread  tendency  to  relieve  the  chief  priest  of  a  sect  of 
his  administrative  responsibilities  so  that  he  is  now 
regarded  purely  as  its  religious  figurehead,  while  adminis 
trative  officers  are  chosen  by  election  from  among  the 
clergy.  This  is  about  the  farthest  point  Buddhist  sects 
can  go  in  the  direction  of  democratisation.  Chief-priest 
hood  is  still  hereditary  in  the  Jodo-Shin  as  well  as  the 
Shin  Sects ;  in  other  sects,  too,  chief  priests  are  appointed 
not  by  election  but  by  some  other  traditional  methods. 

3.  The  World  Conference  of  the  Buddhists 

Among  the  most  recent  events  the  meeting  in  Tokyo 
of  the  Second  World  Conference  of  Buddhists,  September 
25-30,  1952,  must  be  especially  noted  because  of  its  in 
ternational  and  interdenominational  significance.  The 
first  conference  had  been  held  in  Ceylon  in  1950,  which 
Mr.  Rosen  Takashima,  Chief  Abbot  of  the  Soto  Sect, 
attended  as  the  Japanese  delegate.  The  Tokyo  conference 
met  in  the  Honganji  Temple,  Tsukiji,  where  170  delegates 


56  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

from  18  countries  sat  together  with  450  Japanese  dele 
gates.  Most  of  the  foreigners  were  from  the  traditionally 
Buddhist  sections  of  the  Orient.  The  conference  then 
moved  to  Kyoto  to  hold  its  final  session  on  October  5  in 
the  Higashi  Honganji  Temple.  It  passed  the  following 
statement  : 

"  In  the  present  world  of  severe  suffering  the  welfare 
of  mankind  as  well  as  the  safety  of  our  nation  are  being 
jeopardized.  At  this  juncture,  we  as  representatives  of 
the  Buddhists  of  all  nations  solemnly  pledge  ourselves 
before  the  hallowed  presence  of  the  Buddha  to  unite  the 
Buddhist  forces  of  the  world  in  His  gracious  Light ;  to 
preach  the  Truth  of  the  Buddha  to  all  the  peoples  of 
the  world  ;  and  to  endeavor  to  promote  the  way  of  mutual 
service  with  the  spirit  of  love  and  trust,  in  order  to 
further  the  cause  of  permanent  peace  and  happiness  in 
the  spirit  of  Selflessness  taught  by  the  Buddha." 

This  kind  of  conference  will  certainly  help  bring 
various  Buddhist  groups  to  mutual  understanding.  But 
differences  between  Hinayana  and  Mahayana  and  other 
differences  between  various  sects  will  not  be  easily 
overcome.  Apparently  those  Buddhists  at  the  conference 
showed  their  willingness  to  seek  for  means  to  unite  the 
Buddhist  forces  of  the  world  in  spite  of  the  existing 
differences. 

4.     How  to  Pasture  Their  Flocks  Abroad 

Since    1950    several    Buddhist    leaders    have    visited 


THE  NON-CHRISTIAN  RELIGIONS  57 

America  chiefly  for  the  purpose  of  renewing  contacts 
with  the  issei  and  nisei  Buddhists  there.  In  1952  both 
chief  priests  of  the  Higashi  and  the  Nishi  Honganji 
went  abroad  for  the  second  time  after  the  war.  Mr. 
Kocho  Otani,  chief  priest  of  Higashi,  accompanied  by  his 
wife,  left  Japan  in  June  for  an  extensive  tour  through 
America,  Brazil  and  Europe.  They  are  expected  to 
come  home  in  the  middle  of  March.  Mr.  Kosho  Otani, 
chief  priest  of  Nishi,  likev/ise  accompanied  by  his  wife, 
left  Japan  in  February  for  the  United  States  and  Canada ; 
they  returned  late  in  December. 

Kocho's  heir,  Kosho,  has  been  staying  in  America  for 
graduate  studies  since  1950.  He  is  now  at  Union  Theolo 
gical  Seminary  in  New  York  according  to  information 
given  by  the  headquarters  of  Higashi. 

Japanese  Buddhists  living  in  the  United  States,  Ha 
waii,  Canada,  and  Brazil  still  turn  to  their  mother 
churches  in  Japan  for  religious  leadership.  But  the 
number  of  issei  people  is  decreasing  and  most  nisei 
people  cannot  read  Japanese.  More  need  is  felt,  therefore, 
for  Buddhist  literature  in  English  and  for  English-speak 
ing  teachers  and  preachers.  Furthermore,  there  are  more 
western  people  today  than  ever  before  who  are  eager  to 
know  something  about  Buddhism  for  either  religious  or 
academic  reasons.  So  some  sects  are  making  serious 
attempts  to  interpret  their  doctrines  in  English.  "  The 
Young  East ",  edited  by  the  Honganji,  Tokyo,  and  "  The 
Buddhist  Magazine ",  edited  by  the  Nishi  Honganji  are 


58  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

both  meant  for  English  readers.    . 

Buddhist  leaders  in  Japan  are  today  quite  missionary- 
conscious.  They  believe  they  have  something  unique  to 
offer  to  all  mankind.  It  will  be,  however,  a  tremendous  task 
to  have  even  a  selection  of  Japanese  Buddhist  literature 
translated  correctly  into  understandable  English.  The 
present  writer  is  informed  that  two  persons  in  Kyoto, 
the  one  Japanese,  the  other  American,  are  now  transla 
ting  certain  Zen  books.  They  are  working  independently 
from  each  other.  The  career  and  accomplishments  of 
Dr.  Daisetsu  Suzuki,  who  is  still  lecturing  in  America,  are 
sources  of  inspiration  to  all  those  Buddhist  scholars  who 
are  interested  in  the  world  mission  of  the  "  Way  of 
Enlightenment ". 

5.    In  the  Academic  Circles 

In  the  academic  circles  of  Japan  Buddhism  is  pretty 
well  represented.  There  are  Buddhist  universities  such 
as  Taisho,  Toyo,  Otani,  Ryukoku,  Hanazono,  etc..  where 
courses  in  Buddhism  are  taught  mainly  for  the  training 
of  priests.  But  Buddhism  is  also  taught  in  secular 
universities  such  as  Waseda,  Nihon,  and  some  national 
universities.  Tokyo  University  has  on  its  faculty  Profs. 
Miyamoto,  Shoson,  Ryobun  Yuki,  and  Shinsho  Hanayama, 
all  competent  scholars,  while  at  Kyoto  University  Prof. 
Masato  Nagao  and  Zenryu  Tsukamoto  are  teaching  as 
well  as  doing  research  work. 

These   leading  scholars   together   with  many  others 


THE  NON-CHRISTIAN  RELIGIONS  59 

are  members  of  the  Nippon  Buddhist  Research  Associa 
tion  (Nippon  Bukkyo  Gakkai)  organised  in  1928.  In 
October,  1951,  another  association,  the  Japanese  Associa 
tion  of  Indian  and  Buddhist  Studies  (Nippon  Indogaku 
Bukkyo  Gakkai)  was  organised,  which  includes  scholars 
engaged  in  non-Buddhist  Indian  studies  as  well  as  Buddhist 
scholars.  Many  of  the  latter  belong  to  both  associations. 
There  is  a  growing  tendency  among  Japanese  Buddhist 
scholars  to  go  back  from  the  traditional  Chinese  texts  to 
the  Sanskrit,  Pali,  and  Tibetan  texts  in  their  search  for 
the  original  meaning  of  their  religion.  Dr.  Susumu  Yama- 
guchi  of  the  Otani  University  and  Dr.  Nagao  of  Kyoto  are 
scholars  of  international  reputation  in  the  field  of  Tibetan 
Iripitaka. 

III.    NEW  POPULAR  SECTS 

1.    What  Are  the  New  Sects  ? 

Besides  the  Shinto  and  Buddhist  sects  there  are  153 
new  sects  that  cannot  be  classified  under  any  known 
category.  Actually,  however,  there  are  often  found  fea 
tures  common  to  many  of  the  newly  risen  sects,  whether 
they  are  Shintoistic  or  otherwise.  They  are  all  indigen 
ous  religious  movements  grown  on  the  soil  of  Japan.  All 
of  them  have  more  or  less  simple  messages  that  would 
appeal  to  the  popular  mind,  however,  superstitious  they 
may  sometimes  appear. 

So  it  is  quite  understandable  that   the    book    entite 


60  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

"  Handbook  of  New  Religions  "  (Shinko-shukyo  Kaisetsu) 
has  discussed  as  "  new  religions "  Konkokyo,  Tenrikyo, 
Reiyukai-kyodan,  Omoto  Aisen-en,  PL-kyodan,  Tenshoko 
Daijingukyo,  and  Sekai  Messhiakyo.  The  book  has  been 
written  by  scholars  of  the  Jodo-Sect  under  the  direction 
of  its  Council  of  Doctors  (Kangaku-ryo)  and  appeared 
in  July,  1952.  Each  of  the  sects  has  been  carefully  studied, 
described,  and  discussed  by  a  different  writer.  The  des 
criptions  are  on  the  whole  quite  objectively  done,  while 
criticisms  are  made  from  the  distinctly  Jodo  Shinshu 
standpoint. 

The  very  fact  that  one  of  the  strongest  Buddhist 
sects  in  Japan  should  have  undertaken  such  a  study  is 
noteworthy.  The  older  religious  bodies  are  naturally  be 
ing  alarmed  by  the  rise  and  rapid  spread  of  new  inde 
pendent  Sects,  and  it  speaks  well  for  the  Jodo  Shinshu 
(so-called  Nishi  Honganji)  to  have  made  a  careful  study 
of  them  instead  of  rejecting  them  outright  or  laughing 
them  off.  The  book  will  continue  for  some  time  to  be  a 
convenient  handbook  for  all  those  who  care  to  know 
something  about  these  sects.  It  is  expected  that  a  second 
volume  will  be  out  sometime  in  1953  which  will  describe 
the  following  sects:  Dotoku  Kagaku,  Honmichi-Hombu, 
Tenri  Hondo,  Rissho  Koseikai,  Tenchikodo  Zenrinkai,  Eno 
kyo,  Manji  Kyodan,  Shinsen  Reidokyo,  and  Nippon  Jehovah 
Kyodan.

2.     Tenrikyo  Flourishing 

Perhaps  neither  Tenrikyo  nor  Konkokyo  should  be 
called  new  religions  since  they  are  both  about  a  century 
old.  But  they  are  still  new  in  the  sense  that  they  are 
quite  independent  from  the  older  religious  traditions  of 
Japan  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  they  are  usually  classified 
as  Shinto  sects. 

Mrs.  Miki  Nakayama,  foundress  of  the  Tenri  relig 
ion,  is  said  to  have  received  a  divine  revelation  on  Nov. 
26,  1837.  She  had  been  a  devout  adherent  of  Jodo  Bud 
dhism,  but  the  occasion  for  her  revelatory  experience 
was  rather  provided  by  a  shamanistic  practice  of  a  shu- 
genja,  a  monk  of  a  syncretic  type.  He  was  invited  to 
her  home  to  pray  for  the  healing  of  her  husband  and 
eldest  son.  The  monk  had  to  conjure  a  divine  spirit,  so 
she  offered  herself  to  serve  as  his  medium.  Quite  un 
expectedly,  however,  a  new  god  hitherto  unknown  spoke 
through  her  announcing  his  name  as  "  Motp-no-kami " 
or  "  Jitsu-no-kami ",  which  means  the  original  or  true 
god,  and  claiming  her  to  be  his  abode.  For  two  days 
and  two  nights  members  of  her  family  kept  asking  the 
god  to  withdraw  from  her,  but  they  finally  submitted  and 
received  her  as  the  god's  shrine.  Later  the  god  came 
to  be  called  "  Tenrio-no-mikoto." 

According  to  the  teachings  of  Tenrikyo,  the  god 
Tenrio-no-mikoto  is  the  father  of  all  mankind,  fostering 
his  children  with  constant  care  so  that  they  live  happy 


62  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

and  joyous  lives  (yokigurashi) .  The  optimism  of  yoki- 
gurashi  is  indeed  quite  characteristic  of  the  sect.  It 
teaches :  death  is  simply  putting  off  one's  garment ; 
the  soul,  being  immortal,  will  come  back  to  life  in  a 
new  garment ;  sins  are  nothing  but  "  dust "  (hokori) 
gathered  on  one's  soul  or  mind  to  be  removed  by  mental 
cleansing  ;  sickness  is  a  physical  effect  of  mental  "  dust  "  ; 
remove  the  cause,  and  the  effect  will  be  eliminated  im 
mediately. 

Tenrikyo  is  the  largest  and  best  developed  of  all 
the  newer  religions.  Having  passed  through  various 
difficulties  and  even  persecutions,  its  adherents  have  firm 
conviction  of  its  truth.  As  of  Mar.  31,  1952,  it  had  13,994 
churches,  78,885  preachers,  and  219,953  "  confirmed  "  fol 
lowers,  besides  over  one  million  common  believers.  There 
are  also  day  nurseries,  orphanages,  old  people's  homes, 
hospitals,  sanitoriums,  and  other  social  welfare  work. 
In  Tambaichi,  Nara  Prefecture,  where  its  headquarters  is 
situated,  there  are  schools  of  all  grades  from  kindergarten 
to  university. 

From  the  Tenri  University  Press  are  issued  "  Bulletin 
of  Tenri  University  ",  "  Yamato  Bunka  ",  and  a  bimonthly 
"  Bulletin  of  the  Institute  of  Religious  Culture ",  all  of 
high  academic  quality.  The  Department  of  Koreanology 
of  the  University  edits  "  Chosen  Gakuho  ".  The  following 
are  some  of  the  articles  that  appeared  recently  in  these 
publications :  "  Christianity  under  the  Chinese  Communist 
Government  ",  "  Christianity  in  the  Soviet  Union  ",  "  The 


THE  NON-CHRISTIAN  RELIGIONS  63 

NCCC  in  America  ",  "  The  NCWC  in  America  ",  "  Judaism 
in  America  "  (Bulletin  of  the  Institute  of  Religious  Culture, 
No.  18,  Nov.,  1952)  ;  "  On  Subjectivity  in  Religion :  the 
Essential  Construction  of  Believing ",  "  Relacion  del 
Martirio  de  los  26  Christianos  Crucificandos  en  Nagasaqui 
el  5  de  Febrero  de  1597  "  (in  Japanese  translation,  Yamato 
Bunka,  No.  32,  Nov.,  1952). 

On  April  18,  1952,  the  Tenri  headquarters  announced 
that  there  will  be  a  grand  celebration  of  the  seventieth 
anniversary  of  Mrs.  Nakayama's  "  ascension "  in  1956. 
October  30 — November  1  there  were  gathered  some 
15,000  leading  priests  of  the  sect  in  Tambaichi  to  be  in 
structed  about  preparations  for  the  coming  occasion. 
Mr.  Shozen  Nakayama,  present  head  of  the  sect,  said  in 
an  address  that  the  spirit  of  fukugen  (return  to  the 
beginning)  should  be  the  spirit  pervading  the  anniversary. 
By  fukugen,  however,  he  does  not  mean  a  return  to  the 
past  but  making  a  fresh  start  by  returning  to  the  original 
purity  of  the  foundress's  faith.  The  address  has  been 
printed  in  the  monthly  "  Michi-no-Tomo  ",  Dec.,  1952. 

3.     Is  Konkokyo  Declining? 

Another  remarkable  religion  is  Konkokyo.  It  also 
claims  that  its  founder,  Mr.  Bunjiro  Konko,  received  a 
special  revelation  on  Oct.  21,  1859,  that  he  should  from 
thenceforth  devote  his  whole  life  to  the  ministry  of  inter 
cession  and  counselling  for  people.  His  god  he  called 
"  Tenchi-kane-no-kami",  who  is  believed  to  be  the  only 


64  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

true  god,  creator  and  father  of  all.  Having  experienced 
his  oneness  with  this  god,  Mr.  Konko  called  himself 
"Ikigami-konko-daijin"  (Konko-god-manifest-in-life) .  Thus 
Konkokyo  is  a  monotheistic  religion  with  Mr.  Bunjiro 
Konko  as  its  revealer.  It  emphasizes  the  parental  care 
of  the  father-god  of  all  men  and  teaches  love,  gratitude, 
and  trust  as  the  basic  virtues  of  man.  It  is  a  religion 
of  simplicity  and  practicability.  It  rejects  all  charms 
and  amulets  as  well  as  all  superstitious  beliefs  in  days 
and  directions. 

As  in  the  case  of  Tenrikyo,  Konkokyo  also  classifies 
its  adherents  into  two  classes:  kyoto  or  confirmed  fol 
lowers,  and  shinto  or  common  believers.  The  latest 
available  statistics  give,  as  of  Dec.  31,  1950,  the  number 
of  kyoto  as  89,947  and  of  shinto  as  548,026,  the  total  be 
ing  637,973.  The  number  of  preachers  is  3,292,  including 
1,299  women  preachers.  There  are  1,589  churches  belong 
ing  to  this  sect. 

The  sect  was  far  stronger  in  prewar  days.  The 
number  of  its  "  common "  believers  in  1930  stood  at 
705,944 ;  this  increased  to  1,043,416  by  1935  and  reached 
the  highest  peak  of  1,151,977  in  1940. 

Thus  the  most  urgent  problem  of  the  sect  is  how  to 
recover  its  prewar  strength.  In  1949  there  was  started 
a  movement  called  "  Otoritsugi-joju-shinjin-seikatsu  Undo  " 
to  strengthen  the  religious  life  of  the  sect.  The  year 
1953  is  expected  to  be  a  great  year  for  the  sect  because, 
besides  being  the  fifth  year  of  the  undo,  the  year  will 


THE  NON-CHRISTIAN  RELIGIONS  65 

commemorate  the  70th  anniversary  of  the  death  of  Mr. 
Matajiro  Konko  as  well  as  the  60th  anniversary  of  the 
death  of  his  immediate  successor,  and  will  celebrate  the 
60th  anniversary  of  the  dedication  of  Mr.  Setsutane  Konko 
as  the  head  of  the  sect.  What  results  will  come  out  of 
the  programs  and  activities  of  this  special  year  are  yet 
to  be  seen. 

4.     More  Human  Beings  Deified 

A  more  distinctly  Shintoistic  sect  is  Shinrikyo  or 
the  Divine  Reason  Religion  which  claims  to  have  907 
churches,  4,474  priests,  and  1,365,116  adherents  at  the  end 
of  1952.  The  sect  worships  eighteen  Shinto  divinities  and 
regards  its  founder,  Mr.  Tsunehiko  Kannagibe  (1834-1906), 
as  a  direct  descendant  of  Nigihayahi-no-mikoto,  a  grandson 
of  the  Sun-goddess.  He  also  claimed  to  have  received  a 
special  revelation  which  commanded  him  to  enter  a  career 
of  religious  ministry.  The  revelation  is  said  to  have 
occurred  on  Oct.  16,  1876.  The  sect  is  now  preparing  the 
founder's  writings.  Probably  more  and  more  emphasis 
is  going  to  be  placed  on  his  person  as  mediator  between 
the  divine  and  the  human. 

Omoto  Aizen-en  is  another  sect  which  deifies  human 
beings.  Back  in  1892  Mrs.  Naoko  Deguchi  (1836-1918) 
began  receiving  inspirations  which  she  recorded  in  black 
and  white.  They  were  then  collected  and  became  the 
scripture  of  the  sect.  She  and  her  son-in-law,  Wanisaburo 
Deguchi  (1871-1948),  are  believed  to  be  two  manifestations 


66  THE  GENERAL  SURVEY  OF  JAPAN  IN  1952 

of  the  divine  in  the  pantheon  headed  by  the  supreme 
god  Omoto-sume-okami.  The  sect,  once  suppressed  by 
the  government  in  1936,  is  now  steadily  growing  again. 
It  teaches  love,  purity,  optimism,  progress  and  unity  as 
the  most  basic  principles  of  human  life  and  society.  It 
shows  a  vital  interest  in  world  peace. 

i 
5.    Gods  Walking  on  the  Streets 

The  "  living  deities  "  (ikigami)  above  mentioned  are 
all  persons  of  the  past,  but  there  are  others  which  are 
living  now.  One  of  them  is  Mrs.  Sayo  Kitamura  (born 
1900) ,  the  Okami-sama  or  Great  Goddess  of  Tenshoko  Dai- 
jingu-kyo,  popularly  called  the  "  Dancing  Religion  ".  The 
decisive  date  for  this  sect  was  Aug.  11,  1945  when  Mrs. 
Kitamura  announced  herself  to  be  the  only  daughter  of 
the  Heavenly  Goddess,  Tenshoko  Daijingu.  Her  home  is 
in  Tafuse,  Yamaguchi  Prefecture,  where  the  headquarters 
of  the  sect  is  situated,  but  she  is  constantly  travelling 
and  in  1952  went  as  far  as  Hawaii  to  preach,  sing  and 
dance. 

According  to  her  teachings,  the  goddess  Tenshoko  Dai 
jingu  is  the  same  being  as  the  Heavenly  Father  of  the 
Christians  and  the  Buddha  (hombutsu)  of  the  Buddhists. 
The  same  absolute  God  was  taught  3,000  (sic)  years  ago 
by  Gautama,  2,000  years  ago  by  Christ,  and  is  now  in 
these  last  days  speaking  through  Sayo-san !  Her  words 
are  often  crude  but  always  clever,  sometimes  revealing 
genuine  religious  insights. 


THE  NON-CHRISTIAN  RELIGIONS  67 

Mr.  Jikan  Okada,  founder  of  the  World  Messianic 
Religion  (Sekai  Messhiakyo),  does  not  call  himself  a 
god  but  claims  himself  to  be  the  Messiah  who  has  come 
to  earth  to  save  mankind  from  the  three  evils  of  sickness, 
poverty,  and  war,  and  to  establish  a  perfect  world  of 
peace,  truth,  goodness,  and  beauty.  He  says  he  is  a 
greater  one  than  Christ,  Buddha,  Mohammed,  or  Con 
fucius.  His  god  whom  he  calls  Jehovah  has,  however, 
other  names  also :  Amida,  Miroku,  Kannon,  and  Izunome- 
no-kami.  He  is  well-read  and  writes  constantly.  He  is 
opposed  to  modern  medicine.  He  defines  sickness  as  a 
physiological  phenomenon  of  self-purification  which  should 
not  be  interfered  with  by  artificial  methods.  He  also  says, 
however,  that  diseases  are  sometimes  caused  by  evil  dem 
ons.  A  pamphlet  has  just  been  put  out  with  the  date  of 
Jan.  1,  1953,  which  is  entitled  "  Saving  America  "  ("  Am- 
erika  wo  Sukuu ") .  Oddly  enough  it  is  written  all  in 
Japanese  although  the  author  promises  that  it  will  be 
later  translated  into  English.

The  most  important  event  in  evangelistic  trends  in 
1952  was  the  establishment  of  the  Naikoku  Dendokai 
(Home  Missions  Society)  by  the  Seventh  General  Assembly 
of  the  Kyodan  in  October.  It  is  one  of  the  two  com 
mittees  in  the  General  Evangelistic  Committee  (Sogo 
Dendo  linkai)  which  is  responsible  for  all  the  evangelistic 
activities  of  the  Kyodan.

EVANGELISTIC  TRENDS  69 


General  Evangelism  Comm. 


Home  Missions  Society 


Cooperative    Evangelism 
Committee 


There  is  a  double  significance  to  the  establishment 
of  the  Home  Missions  Society : 

a.  First,  it  is  to  promote  a  self-supporting  missionary 
spirit  and  to  strengthen  mutual  help  among  indigenous 
churches  belonging  to  the  Kyodan.  Since  the  World 
War  II  ended,  more  than  260  million  yen  ($722,000)  of 
emergency  aid  has  been  given  through  the  Interboard 
Committee  of  North  America.  Even  in  1952  the  total 
budget  for  evangelism  in  the  Kyodan  was  Y  17,430,000 
($48,417),  and  of  this  budget  only  Y  2,350,000  ($6,528.00), 
or  134%,  came  from  the  indigenous  churches,  while 
Y  14,935,000,  or  85.6%,  was  from  the  Interboard  Committee. 
Of  course,  we  shall  never  be  able  to  overestimate  the 
contribution  which  this  financial  aid  made  to  the  evange 
listic  activities  of  the  Japanese  church  which  has  faced 
a  great  missionary  opportunity  during  the  time  of  pain 
and  sorrow  caused  by  the  tragedy  and  damage  of  the 
war. 

Since,  however,  the  recovery  of  national  independence 
in  1952  and  the  great  improvement  in  the  living  standard 
of  the  Japanese  people,  there  have  been  heard  voices 
within  Kyodan  circles  which  regret  the  fact  that  the 
self-supporting  spirit  of  the  churches  has  been  weakened 


70  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

because  of  such  great  financial  support  from  the  Inter- 
board  Committee.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  there  have  been 
two  traditional  characteristics  in  the  history  of  Japanese 
Protestantism ;  i.  e.,  the  super-denominationalistic,  and 
the  self-supporting  tendencies.  The  Home  Missions 
Society  is  the  answer  to  these  voices  on  the  one  hand, 
and  it  will  encourage  the  spirit  of  our  Lord's  saying, 
"  It  is  more  blessed  to  give  than  to  receive,"  on  the  other. 

b.  Secondly,  I  want  to  mention  here  that  it  is  a 
great  misunderstanding  to  consider  that  the  establishment 
of  the  Home  Missions  Society  is  a  result  of  a  narrow 
and  exclusive  spirit  which  rejects  cooperative  hands  from 
abroad.  Of  course,  there  are  some  regrettable  facts  which 
confuse  the  independence  of  the  church  with  national 
independence.  Some  say  that  the  evangelization  of  Japan 
should  be  done  solely  by  the  Japanese.  Consequently, 
for  them  the  Home  Missions  Society  seems  to  be  con 
sidered  as  the  organ  which,  in  the  future,  makes  ecumeni 
cal  cooperation  unnecessary.  But  that  is  not  the  real 
idea  of  this  committee.  The  missionary  obligation  in 
Japan  is  not  only  the  obligation  of  the  Japanese  church, 
but  also  that  of  the  world  church.  "  Mission  in  Unity  " 
is  the  vital  obligation  of  the  church.  The  real  aim  of 
the  Home  Missions  Society  is  to  foster  the  spirit  of 
positive  participation  in  this  "  Mission  in  Unity  "  in  the 
Japanese  setting. 

The  main  articles  in  the  Constitution  of  the  Home 
Missions  Society  are  as  follows : 


EVANGELISTIC  TRENDS  71 

1.  The  United  Church  of   Christ   in   Japan  sets   up 
the  Home  Missions  Society  under  the  General  Evangelism 
Committee  for  the  purpose  of  encouraging  the  missionary 
spirit    among    the    Kyodan    churches   to   evangelize   the 
whole  nation  by  means  of  indigenous  funds. 

2.  Duties  of  the  Society: 

a.  Investigation  and  planning  of  the    mission    in 

this  country. 

b.  Opening  of  pioneer  evangelism. 

c.  Raising  funds  from  Kyodan  churches. 

3.  The    Society    promotes   the    purpose    of    No.    1 
and   2   through   close   cooperation   with   the  Cooperative 
Evangelism  Committee  (CEC). 

The  Cooperative  Evangelism  Committee  (CEC)  is 
another  sub-committee  in  the  General  Evangelism  Com 
mittee.  Legally,  CEC  is  one  of  the  sub-committees  of  the 
Council  of  Cooperation,  which  is  the  ecumenical  coopera 
tive  organ  of  the  Kyodan  and  the  Interboard  Committee ; 
but,  functionally,  it  works  under  the  General  Evangelism 
Committee.  There  are  two  major  functions  of  CEC. 
They  are  the  planning  and  promoting  of  pioneer  evange 
lism  in  the  unoccupied  areas  on  the  one  hand,  and  the 
assignment  of  evangelistic  missionaries  on  the  other. 
The  members  of  CEC  are  composed  of  Japanese  and 
missionary  representatives.  Its  funds  are  from  the  Inter- 
board  Committee.  In  the  fiscal  year  of  1952  the  CEC 
with  a  budget  of  Y  3,500,000  has  founded  19  pioneer 
churches  where  there  were  no  churches  before.  Among 


72 

them    9    churches    already    have    gotten    more    than    20 
members,   and  11  churches  had  more  than  20  attendants 
at  Sunday  services  at  the  end  of  a  year. 
Five-year  Evangelistic  Program 
The  Five-year  Evangelistic  program  of   the   Kyodan, 
which    started    in    1949,    has    marked    an   epoch   in   the 
history    of    Japanese    evangelism.    The   main   results   of 
the  program  are : 

a.  Positive   penetration  of  the  Gospel  into  the  rural 
areas  where  there  were  very  few  churches. 

b.  The  awakening  of  lay  evangelism — especially  visita 
tion  evangelism. 

c.  Vocational    or    occupational    evangelism    for    the 
mass  of  workers  in  industries  and  mines. 

1953  is  the  concluding  year  of  the  program.  There 
fore  the  General  Evangelism  Committee  is  planning  a 
special  program  for  the  year. 

a.  "  Harvest   and   Advance  "   is  the  slogan  with  the 
Bible  text  of  John  4 :  35.    "  Lift  up   your   eyes,    and   see 
how  the  fields  are  already  white  for  harvest." 

b.  Special  emphasis  will  be  laid  on  strategic  programs 
in  each  local  prefecture  throughout  the  nation. 

c.  A   national   conference   on   "  The  Mission  of  the 
Church  "  is  to  be  held  in  September. 

A  special  Youth  Emphasis  Program  is  set  up  for 
1953 — especially  for  evangelism  among  students. 


RURAL  WORK 

by  E.  Frank  Gary 


The  Situation 


In  the  on-going  life  and  mission  of  the  Christian 
church  in  Japan,  the  undertaking  of  rural  evangelism 
and  rural  work  in  general  is  not  a  new  departure.  From 
the  beginning  the  church  touched  the  life  of  the  rural 
areas,  if  by  no  other  means  than  the  witness  of  those 
who  had  been  converted  in  urban  areas  and  had  returned 
to  their  native  villages.  But  in  a  peculiar  way  in  the 
postwar  days  the  church  has  become  conscious  of  the 
crying  need  of  more  intense  rural  evangelism.  It  has 
become  clear  that  during  the  late  war  much  of  the 
strongest  support  for  the  forces  of  militarism  came  from 
the  rural  areas  and  that  here  was  often  found  the  centers 
of  the  most  virulent  nationalism.  And  in  many  cases 
these  were  precisely  the  areas  where  Christian  influence 
was  most  negligible.  Furthermore,  as  the  church,  recup 
erating  from  the  wounds  of  war,  took  stock  of  itself  and 
considered  its  strategy  for  the  new  day,  it  became  sharply 
conscious  of  the  disproportion  in  evangelistic  emphases. 
In  the  past  the  concern  with  educational  institutions  and 
urban  evangelism  in  general  had  doomed  rural  evangelism 
to  remain  a  subsidiary  and  much-neglected  area  of  the 
church's  work.  The  evident  concentration  of  missionaries 
in  urban  areas  and  educational  institutions  only  served 

73 


74  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

to  underline  what  was  true  of  the  church  at  large. 

The  postwar  church,  then,  has  come  to  realize  that 
former  patterns  and  proportions  are  no  longer  adequate. 
The  result  has  been  that  rural  evangelism  has  begun  to 
assume  unprecedented  importance  in  the  total  planning 
of  the  church.  The  increasing  use  of  the  term  "  pioneer 
evangelism "  is  another  evidence  of  this  concern,  for, 
while  the  term  does  include  pioneer  areas  as  factory  and 
mine  evangelism,  the  major  area  of  pioneer  evangelism 
continues  to  be  in  the  rural  field.  The  proportion  of 
money  devoted  to  rural  evangelism  has  increased  greatly 
and  the  category  of  missionary  sought  from  foreign 
churches  has  become  increasingly  that  of  the  rural 
evangelist. 

In  this  time  of  sharpened  awareness  of  and  emphasis 
upon  rural  evangelism,  what  is  the  actual  situation  that 
the  church  faces?  In  view  of  the  magnitude  of  the  task 
that  remains  to  be  done  the  situation  is  that  the  church 
is  undertaking  the  evangelism  of  rural  Japan  relatively 
from  scratch.  After  some  ninety-odd  years  of  Protestant 
Christianity  in  Japan  the  church  is  largely  an  urban 
phenomenon.  This  is  not  confined  to  the  metropolitan 
areas,  for  even  in  the  prefectures  the  centers  of  Christian 
activity  are  overwhelmingly  the  towns  and  cities.  (A 
glance  at  the  statistics  in  the  Kirisutokyo  Nenkan  and 
the  Japanese  Christian  Yearbook  for  1951  will  be  sufficient 
to  confirm  this  fact.)  The  writer  has  been  interested  to 
note  in  his  own  prefecture  that  even  those  churches 


RURAL  WORK  75 

which  consider  themselves,  and  are  considered  by  others, 
as  rural  churches  are  largely  situated  in  towns  often  of 
considerable  size.  One  is  tempted  to  think  that  the  term 
"  nocho  "  would  be  more  appropriate  than  "  noson  "  when 
applied  to  the  existing  evangelistic  situation!  It  is  true 
that  the  town  often  plays  a  large  role  in  the  total  life  of 
the  rural  area,  and  consequently  the  fact  that  the  church 
is  in  a  town  need  not  disqualify  it  as  a  rural  church. 
But  the  truth  of  the  matter  is  that  in  all  too  many  cases 
the  town  church  is  indifferent  to  the  challenge  of  the 
surrounding  rural  area.  If  it  touches  the  life  of  that 
area,  it  is  more  by  accident  than  by  design. 

In  short,  as  the  church  in  its  fresh  orientation  and 
awareness  considers  the  urgency  of  rural  evangelism,  it 
faces  what  is  practically  an  untapped  constituency  with 
its  own  special  demands  and  problems. 

Problems  in  the  Rural  Areas 

1.  Most  of  the  problems  are  related  to  or  derived 
from  the  basic  underlying  problem  of  how  to  transform 
the  Japanese  church  from  an  urban  church  to  one  in 
which  the  rural  church  has  at  least  an  equal  place.  Nor 
should  the  recent  awareness  of  rural  evangelism  which 
has  been  mentioned  be  taken  as  a  universal  awareness 
in  the  church.  There  still  remains  much  education  to 
be  done  on  the  lower  levels  and  particularly  among 
church  congregations  who  must  provide  the  drive  and 
initiative  for  aggressive  rural  evangelism.  There  is  a 


76  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

natural  human  tendency  to  exploit  the  easiest  areas  of 
opportunity  first,  and  there  is  no  doubt  that  the  cities 
and  towns  bring  quicker  results  for  the  amount  of  energy 
expended.  Yet,  it  would  seem  imperative  that  the  whole 
church  become  fired  by  the  pressing  need  for  more 
widespread  rural  evangelism.  As  long  as  the  church  is 
satisfied  to  remain  predominantly  an  urban  church,  the 
drive  for  rural  work  will  be  cut  off  at  the  source.  Hence 
we  have  a  need  for  the  will  to  transform  the  church.  And 
it  may  well  be  that  the  dynamic  for  such  a  change  in 
the  church  will  have  to  come  from  the  laity. 

2.  One  of  the  great  problems  facing  the  church  as 
it  contemplates  increased  activity  in  the  rural  field  is 
that  of  financial  support.  The  effective  undertaking  of 
pioneer  work  may  in  many  cases  necessitate  opening  up 
areas  where  there  is  no  financial  support  for  the  evan 
gelist.  Indeed,  it  may  be  that  there  will  be  little  in  the 
way  of  self-support  for  many  years  because  results  are 
not  achieved  as  quickly  as  in  the  urban  districts.  But 
the  Japanese  church  is  a  relatively  poor  church,  and  to 
date  it  has  often  proved  difficult  to  get  even  the  necessary 
support  for  already-existing  work.  At  the  same  time  it 
can  be  said  that,  because  of  inadequate  training  in  Chris 
tian  stewardship,  the  church  has  never  really  tapped 
the  resources  that  are  •  available.  Yet  when  all  this  is 
granted,  it  still  remains  a  very  real  problem  how  to 
provide  sufficient  outside  support  to  maintain  evangelists 
until  such  time  as  churches  capable  of  self-support  are 


RURAL  WORK  77 

established. 

3.  Still  another  problem  is  the  absence  of  a  co 
ordinated  strategy  of  rural  evangelism  among  the  churches. 
On  the  one  hand  there  is,  as  one  writer  put  it,  "  what 
Stanley  Jones  referred  to  as  the  '  pastor-smothered  '  nature 
of  the  church  here.  There  is  an  almost  naive  lack  of 
any  effort  to  divide  the  job  up  geographically."  This 
results  in  what  often  seems  like  a  "  vast  game  of  clerical 
leapfrog."  It  is  inevitable  to  some  extent  that  ministers 
go  where  their  personal  contacts  lead  them,  but  there 
tends  to  be  far  too  much  duplication  of  effort.  Ministers 
of  different  denominations  and  sometimes,  even  more 
lamentably,  of  the  same  denomination  maintain  small 
causes  in  the  same  rural  area  while  other  nearby  areas 
go  quite  untouched. 

And,  if  the  national  churches  are  slow  to  develop 
an  integrated  strategy,  the  missionaries  often  do  not 
do  much  to  help.  The  bewildering  variety  of  postwar 
Christian  groups  has  made  a  workable  system  of 
polity  impossible  and  has  sown  confusion  among  the 
non-Christian  constituency  to  whom  they  have  gone. 
Again,  too  many  missionaries  tend  to  congregate  in  the 
areas  of  quickest  returns,  thereby  reinforcing  a  weakness 
of  the  national  church.  In  many  cases  where  they  do 
go  into  rural  areas  their  tactics  are  rather  hit-and-run 
with  a  complete  absence  of  a  long-term  view.  They  go 
into  a  place,  but  for  one  reason  or  another  they  pull  out 
after  a  brief  stay.  They  leave  behind  them  often  a 


78  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

legacy  of  confusion  and  even  resentment  which  makes 
it  difficult  for  the  Japanese  church  to  establish  permanent 
work  in  the  area  for  some  time  to  come.  The  broad, 
untouched  reaches  of  Japan  call  for  thoughtful  planning 
on  the  part  of  both  the  national  churches  and  the  mis 
sionary  forces. 

4.  The  above-mentioned  problems  are  largely  those 
arising  from  the  life  of  the  evangelizing  churches.  There 
are  other  problems  arising  from  the  nature  of  the  rural 
area  itself.  The  first  of  these  and,  with  the  possible 
exception  of  Hokkaido,  the  most  widespread  is  that 
of  breaking  through  the  barrier  of  tradition  and  custom. 
It  is  a  paradoxical  situation  that  in  a  very  real  way 
many  rural  villages  are  indifferent  to  religion  and  yet,  at 
the  same  time,  their  formal  ties  to  the  traditional  religions 
of  Shinto  and  Buddhism  cause  them  to  view  with  suspicion 
all  attempts  at  Christian  evangelization.  In  at  least  one 
case  brought  to  the  writer's  attention,  active  persecution 
instituted  by  the  local  Shinto  priest  was  resorted  to 
in  an  attempt  to  block  the  activities  of  a  Christian 
lay  worker.  Time  and  again  the  church  runs  head  on 
into  deeply  rooted  local  customs,  the  family  system,  etc. 
Constantly  it  must  contend  with  opposition  accorded  it 
as  a  foreign  religion.  In  some  places  the  difficulty  in 
finding  a  place  of  meeting  because  of  this  opposition, 
combined  with  a  certain  reluctance  in  accepting  invita 
tions  to  use  a  private  home,  places  obstacles  in  the 
way  of  starting  work.  It  is  true  of  Japan  as  with 


RURAL  WORK  79 

most  countries  that  the  country  is  the  stronghold  of 
conservatism,  hence  always  the  most  difficult  situation 
to  meet  with  the  appeal  of  Christ  for  men's  loyalties. 
It  is  interesting  that  wherever  one  goes  in  rural  Japan 
(again,  with  the  possible  exception  of  Hokkaido)  the 
ministers  are  convinced  that  their  area  is  the  most 
difficult  in  Japan.  This  would  lead  one  to  conclude  that 
rural  conservatism  and  related  characteristics  make  all 
rural  areas  uniformly  difficult  when  compared  with  the 
towns  and  cities. 

5.  Related  to  the  nature  of  the  rural  situation  and 
at  the  same  time  related  to  the  life  of  the  church  is  the 
problem  of  the  kind  of  evangelist  best  fitted  to  work  in 
the  rural  field.  Handicaps  of  education,  time,  and  energy 
such  as  exist  here  render  doubtful  the  efficacy  of  the 
academic  and  theological  type  of  minister  that  is 
often  found  in  rural  work.  The  simplification  of  the 
Gospel  to  its  essentials  and  a  more  practical  demonstra 
tion  of  its  power  may  be  a  first  requirement  of  a  revised 
rural  strategy.  The  preaching  of  the  latest  trends  in 
European  and  American  theology  is  hardly  likely  to  prove 
an  effective  evangelistic  tool  to  farmers  and  fisherfolk 
with  no  knowledge  of  Christianity. 

What  the  Church  Can  Do 

1.  Perhaps  the  place  the  church  should  begin  is 
with  prayer  for  rural  evangelism  that  by  the  power  of 
the  Holy  Spirit  there  may  be  born  in  all  the  church  the 


80  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

eager  desire  to  forward  this  work.  Every  effort  should 
be  made  to  shake  the  church  out  of  its  urban,  middle- 
class  complacency  and  lay  the  burden  of  rural  work 
heavily  on  its  heart. 

2.  The  problem  of  support  for  rural  evangelism  is 
one   for   which   I   see   no  immediate  or  easy  solution.    I 
purposely   refrain   from   any  mention  of  the  use  of  mis 
sionary  funds,  for  the  day  would  seem  to  be  here  when 
the  church  must  increasingly  shoulder  its  own  financial 
responsibilities.    What    a    Japanese    minister    in     Hok 
kaido  calls  "  reciprocal  evangelism  "  may  be  part  of  the 
answer.    The  city  churches  with  their  greater  resources 
may  have  to  take  a  greater  share  of  the  support  for  rural 
work  with  vision  and  sacrifice.     As  I  have  already  men 
tioned,   the   time  is   already   overdue   for  more  intensive 
education  of  the  church  in  the  responsibilities  of  Chris 
tian    stewardship    whereby    all    the    latent   resources   of 
the   church   may   be   made    available    for    the   work    of 
evangelism.     The   Kyodan   has   taken   a   great    forward 
step   in   the   solution   of   this  problem  of  support  by  the 
formation   of   a  Home  Missions  Society  whose  resources 
will  come  entirely  from  indigenous  sources. 

3.  The  emergence  of  an  interdenominational  strategy 
of   rural   work   at  a  high  level  seems  highly  unlikely  at 
the    present    stage.     But    it    can    be    done    within    each 
denomination.    And   more   important   is   the  fact  that  it 
can  be  done  interdenominationally  at  a  local  level  within 
each  prefecture  or  natural  area.    The  obligation  lies  upon 


RURAL  WORK  81 

the  missionaries  to  aid  in  this  matter  of  strategy  by 
working  out  and  abiding  by  a  system  of  polity  as  soon 
as  possible.  Once  again,  if  this  moves  too  slowly  at  the 
upper  levels,  it  is  imperative  that  some  satisfactory  local 
arrangement  be  worked  out  wherever  possible. 

In  the  development  of  a  rural  strategy  increasing  use 
can  be  made  of  consecrated  laymen.  The  time  has  long 
passed  when  the  clergy  could  justifiably  retain  all  respon 
sibility  in  their  own  hands.  The  task  is  too  big  for  the 
-  clergy  to  do  alone,  and  furthermore  the  laity  can  penetrate 
effectively  into  areas  that  would  be  closed  to  ministers. 
There  is  some  indication  that  such  a  development  is 
alreadyJjaking  place. 

4.  The  church  must  face  up  to  the  peculiar  nature 
of  the  rural  situation  and  adapt  its  message.  From 
Hokkaido  comes  the  suggestion  that  the  church  increas 
ingly  attempt  to  present  its  gospel  visually.  The  church 
might  well  study  the  symbols,  the  myths  and  institutions 
of  rural  life  with  a  view  to  adapting  them  to  the  life  of 
the  church.  It  is  true  that  such  a  work  of  adaptation 
carries  its  own  dangers,  but  it  is  equally  true  that  no 
faith  which  ignores  the  symbols  in  rural  life  or  fails  to 
provide  acceptable  alternatives  will  make  much  headway. 
The  church  in  the  rural  setting  should  ponder  anew  the 
truth  of  the  Incarnation  and  seek  means  of  mediating  its 
spiritual  message  through  material  symbols  for  those 
untrained  to  fathom  the  abstruseness  of  Barth  and 
Niebuhr. 


82  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

5.  The  need  for  a  thorough  study  and  understanding 
of  the  rural  situation  is  closely  related  to  the  problem  of 
the   type   of  worker  required.    The   church  should  seek 
men  who,  while  not  necessarily  specialists  in  the  technical 
sense,  will  by  their  understanding  of  and  sympathy  with 
the    problems  of   the   rural   area  fit  into  to  that  scene. 
They  should    have  a  sensitive  appreciation  of  the  values 
of  rural  life  and  a  deep  and  abiding  love  for  its  people. 
They  should  have  a  keen  perception  of  the  needs  of  those 
whom  they  serve  and  an  ability  to  temper  their  message 
to  those  needs.    This  is  far  more  important  than  a  mere 
transmission    of    the    formulas    and    dogmas   learned   in 
theological  college.    Above  all,  they  must  minister  to  the 
whole  life  of  the  people  as  they  find  it,  not  to  the  unreal 
image  of  life  as  they  have  preconceived  it.  For  missionaries 
who  come  from  an  alien  culture  it  is  especially  important 
so  to  adapt  their  ministry  with  patience  and  sensitivity. 

6.  The  church   will   make  its  deepest  impact  when 
there  is  added  to  its  proclamation  of  the  eternal  truths 
of  the  gospel  a  wider  ministry  to  the  whole  life  of  rural 
Japan.    This   ministry   may   take  many  forms  according 
to  the  genius  of  the  evangelist  or  church  and  the  peculiar 
needs  of  each  area.    Some  concrete  examples  are  given 
in   the   next  section.    Mention   could   be  made  of  child 
welfare    clinics   enlisting   the    help   of   Christian  doctors 
and  nurses ;  programmes  of  adult  education ;  youth  work 
related   to  the  needs  and  potentialities  of  young  people ; 
classes  in  nutrition  and  sanitation  and  such  other  subjects 


RURAL  WORK  83 

as  would  lead  to  a  bettering  of  material  circumstances. 
What  the  Church  is  Doing 

The  following  are  just  a  few  examples  that  have 
come  to  the  writer's  attention  of  the  wider  ministry  of 
the  church  in  rural  evangelism.  In  these  situations  we 
see  already  operating  many  of  the  factors  mentioned 
above  and  a  lively  attempt  to  solve  the  problems  of  rural 
evangelism.  In  some  cases  the  informants  are  quoted 
directly. 

1.  "  Larger  parish  approach   centered   in  one  town. 
In  Nagano-cho    (Osaka-fu)    the  church    is    centered  in  a 
rural   area   and   is   sparked   by  a  young  pastor  who  has 
great  vision   much   of   which   has   begun  to  materialize. 
One  example  is  the  church-related  middle  school  with  a 
church  farm.    There  are  plans  for  a  dormitory  for  rural 
students   who    can   earn   their  board  by  working  on  the 
farm.    The  whole  project  is  laid  within  the  '  larger  parish  ' 
framework." 

2.  Dairy   projects.    In   Shimane  Ken  one   church  is 
working  on  a  project  to  establish  a  Christian  dairy  in  a 
few  years.    In  the  Hokkaido  the  Christian  Dairy  College 
not  only  is  doing  excellent  work  of  an  agricultural  nature 
but  sponsors  a  two-week  Gospel  School  in  summer  and 
winter  whose  graduates  after  two  years  already  number 
280  and  are  to  be  found  in  all  the  main  agricultural  dis 
tricts  of  the   Hokkaido.    Workers   from  the  college  also 
do  widespread  travelling  evangelism  in  the  rural  areas. 


84  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

3.  Rural  centers.  The  establishment  of  rural  centers 
in  several  places  is  a  significant  feature  of  recent  times. 
In  Tokyo  the  Kyodan  has  for  several  years  conducted 
the  Rural  Training  Center  which  is  a  national  center  for 
training  rural  evangelists  who,  it  is  hoped,  will  in  turn 
furnish  the  driving  force  for  local  centers  in  the  areas 
to  which  they  return.  In  Hokkaido  the  churches  of 
Yakumo  and  Nopporo  each  have  a  rural  center  which 
conducts  studies  in  rural  evangelism  and  rural  leadership 
training.  These  centers  are  the  focal  points  for  evangeliza 
tion  of  a  wide  area.  Ibaraki  Ken  has  a  new  rural  center 
whose  plans  promise  to  make  it  a  most  effective  instru 
ment  for  the  wider  ministry  to  the  rural  areas  of  that 
prefecture.  These  plans  include  such  things  as  clinics ; 
lectures  on  women's  diseases,  child  care  and  nutrition; 
rural  gospel  schools ;  family  life  and  cooking  classes ;  and 
demonstrations  in  sanitation  and  first  aid.  All  these 
centers,  besides  the  community-centered  activities  just 
mentioned,  use  freely  the  "  normal  "  forms  of  evangelism, 
spoken,  written  and  audio-visual. 

In  Chiba  Ken  there  has  been  established  under  the 
leadership  of  Dr.  Sam  Franklin  a  rural  center  with  plans 
for  a  kindergarten,  church  and  clinic,  which  will  fulfil 
many  of  the  functions  already  described.  Quotations 
from  the  objectives  of  this  center  as  outlined  by  Dr. 
Franklin  might  well  serve  as  a  summary  of  the  objectives 
of  all  such  rural  centers,  if  not  the  whole  movement 
for  rural  evangelism.  Among  such  objectives  are  (a) 


RURAL  WORK  85 

"To  make  Christian  love  concrete  on  as  many  planes  of 
life  as  possible... the  works  of  love  which  are  one  of  the 
truest  witnesses  to  the  Gospel  are  largely  lacking."  (b) 
"To  stress  Christian  education.  The  opportunity  is 
endless  and  children's  gatherings  are  certainly  the  first 
step  toward  adult  contacts.  However  we  feel  that  even 
where  it  is  going  on  the  standards  are  pretty  low... We 
hope  to  develop  a  curriculum  and  methods  adapted  to 
the  rural  situation."  (c)  "  To  emphasize  the  relevance 
of  Christianity  to  all  of  life,  individual  and  social.  I  have 
a  feeling  that  the  social  implications  of  our  faith  for 
Japanese  farm  life  are  a  pretty  neglected  field.  The 
twin  dangers  are  to  neglect  the  whole  subject  or  to  over 
simplify.  I  hope  we  can  focus  on  local  problems,  begin 
ning  perhaps  with  home  life.  Right  now  it  looks  to  me 
as  if  there  had  been  too  much  pussy-footing  in  Christian 
dealing  with  such  matters  as  the  position  of  women. 
Secular  sociologists  are  more  realistic  and  down  to  earth 
in  their  appraisal  of  the  rural  family  than  Christians 
are.  See  for  example  Fukudake's  recent  "  Nihon  Noson 
no  Shakaiteki  Seikaku'." 

Conclusion 

As  I  catch  the  mood  of  today  in  rural  evangelism,  I 
cannot  but  feel  deeply  that  the  power  of  the  Holy  Spirit 
is  moving  strongly  in  the  church's  life.  There  is  a  stir 
ring  in  the  spiritual  depths  of  the  church's  life.  The 
fruits  of  rural  evangelism  will  follow  in  the  measure  that 


86  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

we  allow  the  fire  of  the  Holy  Spirit  to  transform  us  and 
through  us  the  folk  we  serve,  and  in  the  measure  that 
we  use  the  God-given  powers  of  mind  and  spirit  that  are 
available  to  everyone  who  faces  the  world  as  a  spokesman 
of  the  most  high  God.  Results  will  come  slowly,  and  we 
deceive  ourselves  if  we  expect  otherwise.  But  we  have 
the  sure  confidence  that  because  the  work  is  the  Lord's, 
results  will  come. 

This  article  has  been  an  attempt  to  give  a  brief 
description  of  the  problems  and  achievements  of  rural 
evangelism  in  Japan  by  one  who  is  a  foreigner  and  a 
beginner.  It  is  by  no  means  a  complete  picture,  and  it 
may  be  in  some  cases  less  than  accurate.  The  writer 
acknowledges  with  gratitude  the  information  and  help 
given  him  by  a  number  of  people  in  widely  separated 
parts  of  Japan.  However,  any  deficiencies  of  fact  or 
judgment  in  the  article  are  entirely  his  own  responsibility. 


LAYMEN'S  WORK

Problems  in  Laymen's  Work 

a.  The  General  Situation. 

All  Japanese  laymen  and  laywomen  are  now  hearing 
God's  call  to  be  ministers.  In  the  6  years  since  the  end 
of  World  War  II  13  million  copies  of  the  Bible  were  sold 
by  the  Japan  Bible  Society  and  about  10  million  copies 
were  distributed  free  to  a  great  many  homes.  Thus 
each  home  in  this  country  has  been  provided  with  one 
or  perhaps  more  copies  of  the  Bible. 

Each  year  about  seventy  Christian  colleges  and  high 
schools,  most  of  which  have  a  proven  history  of  fifty  to 
seventy  years,  send  out  50  thousand  new  graduates. 
Several  hundred  churches  have  their  own  kindergartens, 
and  about  the  same  number  of  Christian  social  settlements 
and  hospitals  are  functioning  well.  There  are  approxi 
mately  2,300  churches  served  by  something  over  3,000 
ministers  and  around  1,000  missionaries. 

However,  the  total  number  of  church  members  is  no 
more  than  250,000.  Japan  is  probably  the  most  difficult 
field  in  the  world  for  evangelization.  But  these  250,000 
Christians  are  now  hearing  God's  voice  to  dedicate 
themselves  to  this  difficult  task  of  evangelism  with  which 
they  are  all  concerned. 

b.  Establishment  of  the  Laymen's  Association. 

87 


88  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

In  1945.  just  after  the  war's  end,  the  General  Assembly 
of  the  Kyodan  agreed  unanimously  upon  the  establishment 
of  a  laymen's  association.  Consequently  the  Laymen's 
Association  was  formed  in  March,  1946,  and  26  chapters 
were  established  in  various  cities  throughout  the  country. 

The  Association  issued  a  declaration  at  the  General 
Assembly  on  Oct.  22,  1952,  as  follows: 

"  A  Pledge  of  '  One  Body,  One  Faith  ' 

1.  We,   the   lay-representatives   to   the   7th   General 
Assembly,  herewith  pledge  ourselves  firmly  to  hold 
to  '  One  Body,  One  Faith  '  and  not  to  take   part   in 
sectarian  movements. 

2.  We  demand  mutual  agreement  and    unity   among 
all  laymen  who  belong  to  the  Kyodan  and  earnestly 
hope  that  this  will  be  realized. 

'  Agreement ' 

1.  Volunteer  laymen    from    all    parts   of   Japan   will 
endeavor  with  complete  cooperation  to  establish  the 
finances  of  the  Kyodan  upon  a  firm  foundation  and 
to  strengthen  the    financial    condition   of   the   local 
churches. 

2.  The  lay-representatives  to  the  General   Assembly 
join  in  this  agreement  and  will  endeavor  to  encourage 
as  many  fellow-laymen  as  possible  to  join  in  it.

"  Laymen's  Sunday  "  has  been  observed  for   the   last 


LAYMEN'S  WORK  89 

three  years  on  the  second  Sunday  of  October.  This  idea 
was  taken  from  the  laymen's  movement  in  New  York 
and  each  year  the  churches  are  taking  this  more  seriously. 
Last  year  large  joint  meetings  were  held  in  many  of  the 
large  cities. 

d.  It  is  said  that  the  laymen's  movement  in  the  U. 
S.  is  practicing  the  idea  of  daily  work  with  God  so  that 
this  world  may  become  the  Kingdom  of  Christ.  Under 
the  leadership  of  Mr.  Speer  and  Mr.  Penny  this  move 
ment  is  trying  to  apply  the  Golden  Rule  to  daily  work. 

We  believe  that  the  laymen  in  this  country  also  should 
make  the  same  effort.  We  must  work  together  for  this 
purpose  at  the  same  time  that  we  work  for  evangelism. 
We  hope  that  we  can  cultivate  friendship  with  laymen 
abroad  so  that  we  may  be  able  to  work  together  for  the 
same  purposes. 

How  is  the  Church  Helping  this  Movement  ? 

Each  conference  (kyoku)  is  training  lay-preachers, 
and  in  the  same  way  theological  lectures  are  being 
offered  to  laymen.  The  average  attendance  at  15  lectures 
in  the  Osaka  conference  last  fall  was  110  each  time. 
Furthermore,  each  conference  holds  annual  training  con 
ferences  and  general  meetings  for  laymen,  and  many  lay- 
leaders  are  doing  outstanding  work  at  these  meetings. 

Practical  Activities  of  the  Laymen's  Association 

a.    We   are   promoting  so-called  "vocational  evange- 


90  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

lism".  Three  years  ago  the  writer  translated  into 
Japanese  the  book  "  Argument  for  Vocational  Evangelism  " 
by  Goodwin,  and  all  copies  were  quickly  sold  out.  We 
have  organized  a  number  of  groups  for  vocational  evang 
elism  among  builders,  doctors,  lawyers,  and  school  teachers, 
and  we  are  also  pushing  this  evangelistic  movement  into 
mines,  factories  and  prisons. 

b.  In   Osaka   we   have   formed   a   group   called   the 
"  Shinsei-kai  "   ("  New  Life  Group  ")  which  is    now   doing 
reform  work  among  delinquent  youth.    The  Osaka  Chris 
tian   Social   Center   is  taking    care  of  released  prisoners 
and  is  giving  medical  treatment  to  the  poor.    This  center 
also  maintains  a  home  for  old  people.    Total  expenditures 
for  last  year  were  Y  400,000. 

c.  In  Tokyo  the  laymen's  movement  sponsors  Christ 
mas  celebrations  in  a  number  of  places. 

d.  Ministers  in  this  country  have  submitted  without 
complaint   to   unbelievably    low    salaries.     The    average 
income  is  only   about   Y  6,000  per  month    (approx.  $  16) . 
Even  though  most  of  these  ministers  are   provided    with 
parsonages  and  receive  extra  income  from  weddings  and 
funerals,   and   although   they   have   benefited  from  relief 
from    American   churches,    their    total    incomes    are    ex 
tremely    low.      The    Laymen's    Association    is    seriously 
studying  this  problem  and  is  about  to  start  a  movement 
to  increase  offerings  from  church  members  with  the  goal 
of  raising  ministers'  salaries  as  high  as  those  of  govern 
ment  school  teachers. 


LAYMEN'S  WORK  91 

Program  for  the  Future 

a.  The  Christian  Center  in  Osaka. 

The  Osaka  chapter  of  the  Laymen's  Association  has 
been  planning  to  build  a  Christian  Center  in  Osaka.  It 
has  already  raised  a  fund  of  Y  15  million.  The  IBC  has 
secured  $  30,000  and  the  Episcopal  Church  has  also  decided 
to  give  $3,000  towards  the  project.  Building  will  be 
started  in  the  spring  of  1954  with  a  budget  of  ¥70 
million  for  which  a  fund-raising  campaign  is  still  in 
progress. 

b.  Radio  Broadcasting. 

When  Mr.  Vernon  Margett  visited  Japan  in  the  summer 
of  1951  he  pointed  out  the  importance  of  radio  broadcast 
ing  as  a  means  of  evangelism,  and  Japanese  lay- leaders 
who  were  struck  by  the  proposal  organized  the  Japan 
Broadcasting  Evangelism  Association.  Mr.  Kensuke  Ho- 
riuchi,  ex-Ambassador  to  the  U.  S.,  Mr.  Soichi  Saito, 
General  Secretary  of  the  National  YMCA,  Mr.  Tsunetaro 
Miyakoda,  General  Secretary  of  the  Japan  Bible  Society, 
Mr.  Vernon  Margett.  and  the  writer  were  appointed  ex 
ecutives  for  this  project.  Since  then  Mr.  Margett  has 
been  raising  funds  for  it  in  Australia  and  New  Zealand 
and  is  now  on  his  way  back  to  Japan.  A  fund-raising 
campaign  is  also  being  started  in  Japan.  Dr.  Toyohiko 
Kagawa  has  promised  to  help  out  on  this  project.  It  is 
earnestly  hoped  that  the  Gospel  will  before  long  begin 
to  reach  into  every  home  through  the  air-waves. 


YOUTH  AND  STUDENT  WORK 

by  W.  M.  Fridell 

A.    CHRISTIAN  YOUTH  WORK  IN  GENERAL 
The  Churches 

Overseas  Christian  friends  who  visit  Japanese  churches 
never  fail  to  express  amazement  over  the  great  number 
of  young  people  they  see  in  congregations  wherever  they 
go.  The  1952  Kirisutokyo  Nenkan  reports  that  in  a 
survey  of  churches  of  several  different  types  59%  of 
the  Christians  and  11%  of  the  seekers  attending  the 
Sunday  morning  worship  services  were  young  people  25 
years  of  age  and  under.  These  impressive  figures  bear 
out  the  fact  that,  at  least  so  far  as  number  of  partici 
pants  is  concerned,  postwar  Japanese  Protestant  Christ 
ianity  is  to  a  surprising  extent  a  young  people's  movement. 

No  one,  least  of  all  Japanese  Christian  leaders  them 
selves,  would  say  that  the  youth  evangelistic  work  of 
the  churches  is  all  it  should  be.  Many  wish  the  churches' 
message  would  more  consistently  prepare  young  people 
to  meet  in  a  positive  and  intelligent  manner  the  tremend 
ous  intellectual,  ideological  and  social  problems  which 
confront  Christians  in  Japan  today.  The  fact  remains, 
however,  that  the  churches  are  appealing  to  and  enlisting 
for  Kingdom  service  large  numbers  of  youth.  They  are 
responding  with  heart-warming  sincerity.  This  in  itself 

92 


YOUTH  AND  STUDENT  WORK  93 

is  of  great  and  encouraging  significance. 

Much  more  should  be  said  about  youth  work  in  the 
churches  but  it  is  such  a  huge  subject  that  this  very 
general  survey  must  be  content  with  the  simple  statement 
that  has  been  made  and  pass  on  to  other  areas  of  young 
people's  work. 

Other  Agencies 

When  we  turn  from  the  churches  to  the  various 
auxiliary  Christian  agencies  working  with  young  people, 
we  find  five  organizations  with  extensive  programs :  the 
YMCA,  YWCA,  Youth  for  Christ,  the  United  Church 
(Kyodan)  Youth  Department,  and  the  NCC  Youth  Com 
mission. 

The  "  Y  "s,  in  addition  to  various  evangelistic,  edu 
cational,  club  and  group  work  activities  for  different  age 
groups,  carry  on  certain  projects  designed  to  minister  to 
special  groups  of  youth  where  they  work  and  live.  The 
city  YWCA's  are  working  with  factory  girls,  business 
girls,  and  maids  and  wives  in  the  home ;  the  YMCA 
operates  several  industrial  branches  and  rural  centers ; 
both  YMCA  and  YWCA  run  extensive  Hi-Y  work  on 
high  school  campuses ;  and  both  have  summer  camp 
programs.  In  the  section  on  Student  Work  will  be  found 
a  separate  discussion  of  the  "  Y  "  Student  Departments. 

Youth  for  Christ  is  engaged  in  spearhead  evangelism 
among  all  age  groups,  but  with  special  concern  for  youth. 
In  cooperation  with  the  churches  it  holds  special  meet- 


94  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

ings  in  auditoriums,  tents,  schools,  factories  and  prisons. 
Every  seeker  is  followed  up  with  Bible  instruction,  both 
in  classes  and  by  correspondence,  and  as  of  January  1, 
1953,  6,504  persons  were  reported  in  this  follow-up 
program.  Efforts  are  continually  made  to  relate  these 
converts  and  seekers  to  churches.  The  Youth  for  Christ 
Japan  Director  is  Rev.  Sam  Wolgemuth.  The  follow-up 
Bible  study  is  under  the  direction  of  the  Navigators,  in 
close  cooperation  with  the  Youth  for  Christ  staff. 

The  United  Church  (Kyodan)  Youth  Department  is 
under  the  chairmanship  of  Rev.  Toyotake  Kubota,  pastor 
of  the  Chiba  Church,  and  carries  on  its  work  through 
five  committees:  (1)  Evangelism  Committee  for  Working 
Youth ;  (2)  Rural  Youth  Committee ;  (3)  Church  High 
School  Youth  Committee ;  (4)  Church  Youth  Com 
mittee  ;  and  (5)  Church  Student  Committee.  The  Church 
Youth  Committee  is  charged  with  publishing  the  Youth 
Department's  monthly  magazine  under  that  name.  A 
summary  of  the  work  of  the  Church  Student  Committee 
will  be  found  in  the  section  on  Student  Work. 

The  National  Christian  Council  Youth  Commission 
is  composed  of  representatives  from  various  Christian 
groups  such  as  the  United  Church,  YMCA,  YWCA,  and 
several  denominations.  The  Commission's  Chairman  is 
Rev.  Takeo  Katsube,  pastor  of  the  Aoyama  Gakuin  Church 
in  Tokyo,  and  it  has  three  part-time  staff  members,  Rev. 
Masami  Mizuno,  Rev.  Hallam  Shorrock,  and  Mr.  William 
Des  Autels.  The  Commission  functions  primarily  in 


YOUTH  AND  STUDENT  WORK  95 

three  areas :  (1)  Summer  Service  and  Action  projects. 
Since  1949  more  than  1,000  young  people  have  taken 
part  in  work  camps,  caravans  and  students-in-industry 
projects.  (2)  An  annual  summer  conference  for  Japanese 
pastors  and  first-term  missionaries.  (3)  Relations  with 
youth  and  student  organizations  abroad.  Through  the 
Commission  13  delegates  were  sent  to  the  Third  World 
Conference  of  Christian  Youth,  held  December  11-25, 
1952,  in  Travancore,  South  India. 

B.    STUDENT  WORK 

Work  among  students  occupies  an  important  place 
in  the  total  program  of  youth  evangelism.  There  are 
approximately  500,000  students  in  higher  education  in 
Japan,  distributed  among  221  four-year  colleges  and 
universities  and  108  junior  colleges,  or  a  total  of  329  in 
stitutions  of  higher  learning. 

Almost  every  Christian  worker  in  Japan  has  some 
rewarding  contacts  with  students,  and  of  course  the 
churches  and  other  evangelistic  agencies  described  in  the 
first  part  of  this  article  include  students  in  their  general 
outreach.  Students,  however,  have  many  intellectual  and 
spiritual  problems  peculiar  to  them  as  a  group,  calling 

for   a   specialized    ministry    in   order   most    effectively  to 

• 
reach  them  for  Christ.    There  are  a  number  of  Christian 

organizations  which  are  giving  themselves  exclusively  to 
this  ministry,  and  in  this  section  we  wish  to  review  the 
highlights  of  their  work. 


96  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

First,  however,  let  us  briefly  examine  the  mental  and 
Spiritual  state  of  present-day  students  and  try  to  analyze 
student  thought  on  some  of  the  issues  which  are  occupy 
ing  their  attention. 

Present-day  Student  Thinking 

On  the  surface  it  would  appear  that  life  is  a  bit 
brighter  for  the  average  student  now  as  compared  with 
several  ye.ars  ago.  Many  students  are  still  living  under 
very  difficult  financial  conditions,  but  a  somewhat  improv 
ed  national  economy  has  reflected  itself  in  better  clothing 
and  more  sports  and  other  social  pleasures.  The  tragedy 
of  Japanese  students,  however,  has  not  to  do  with  ex 
ternals  but  with  the  things  of  the  spirit.  They  are  in 
a  state  of  deep  moral  and  spiritual  confusion,  and  few 
of  them  hold  any  deep  convictions  about  life. 

The  recent  Ministry  of  Education  "  White  Paper  "  on 
students  describes  the  present  generation  of  Japanese 
students  as  "  war  babies  "  who  were  born  about  the  time 
the  Sino-Japanese  war  began  and  who  were  educated 
from  infancy  in  a  strongly  militaristic  and  nationalistic 
atmosphere.  They  were  completely  unprepared  for  the 
defeat  of  1945,  and  it  swept  out  from  under  them  every 
thing  they  had  been  taught  to  respect  as  secure  and 
good.  This  left  them  utterly  disillusioned,  with  no  heart 
to  put  their  trust  in  anything. 

The  students'  negative  reaction  to  this  experience 
was  to  become  severely  critical  of  all  established  authority 


YOUTH  AND  STUDENT  WORK  97 

and  traditional  values,  and  this  nihilistic  attitude  continues 
to  color  their  whole  outlook  on  life.  Great  numbers  of 
students  have  turned  to  an  Epicurean  way  of  living,  some 
within  and  some  without  the  limits  of  the  social  code. 
On  the  positive  side,  because  of  their  spiritual  and 
emotional  turmoil,  few  of  these  young  people  have  placed 
at  the  center  of  their  lives  anything  more  significant 
than  the  elemental  struggle  for  basic  physical  necessities. 
What  has  been  said  here  is  pretty  largely  true  of  the 
majority  of  Japanese  youth,  as  well  as  of  students  in 
particular. 

The  disillusionment  and  spiritual  confusion  of  the 
postwar  years  has  meant  that,  not  only  are  most  students 
suffering  from  the  absence  of  deep  meaning  in  their 
lives,  but  they  are  also  incapacitated  from  taking  hold  of 
social  problems  in  a  positive  way.  This  is  not  because 
of  a  lack  of  interest,  for  most  students  engage  in  frequent 
discussions  on  public  matters,  and  many  react  quite 
violently  to  certain  specific  issues.  The  trouble  is  rather 
that  very  few  students  have  found  a  positive  philosophy 
adequate  to  supply  the  motivation  and  direction  necessary 
for  sustained,  effective  social  action. 

The  exceptions  to  this  are  the  communist  students 
(some  of  whom  are  professional  organizers  in  student 
uniform) .  They  have  a  clearcut  program  of  social  agita 
tion  built  around  idealistic  slogans  and  a  carefully-drawn 
economic  and  social  analysis,  and  these  make  a  strong 
appeal  to  many  students.  Yet,  Japanese  students  on  the 


98  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

whole  do  not  really  want  a  communist  government,  and 
instinctively  rebel  against  the  extreme  radicalism  of 
communist  demonstrations.  Although  the  communists 
are  very  vocal,  they  actually  carry  with  them  only  a 
small  minority  of  students,  and  often  students  who  will 
join  them  in  a  statement  or  protest  over  a  single  issue 
would  never  think  of  going  with  them  any  further.  Most 
students,  Christians  included,  are  opposed  to  the  very  con 
servative  administration  of  Premier  Yoshida's  (so-called) 
Liberal  Party,  and  wish  for  a  middle-way  between  it  and 
communism.  Increasingly  students  are  supporting  the 
Socialists  who,  although  split  into  left  and  right-wing  par 
ties,  appear  slowly  to  be  gaining  strength.  A  recent  survey 
at  Tokyo  (formerly  Imperial)  University  showed  that  80% 
of  the  students  questioned  favored  the  Socialists,  either 
right  or  left. 

Aside  from  the  communist  students,  however,  politi 
cal  opinions  do  not  mean  so  much  as  they  might  because 
of  a  lack  of  sustained  political  effort,  as  described  above. 
This  is  the  case  with  the  Christian  students.  The  Chris 
tian  students,  of  course,  have  a  sound  personal  faith  and 
therefore  are  not  subject  to  the  basic  spiritual  confusion 
of  other  students,  but  except  for  the  work  camps  and 
some  participation  in  the  Christian  Peace  Movement  there 
has  been  evidenced  little  ability  to  get  into  effective  ac 
tion  on  social  issues.  This  inertia  in  regard  to  social 
problems  is  really  a  characteristic  of  Japanese  Christianity 
as  a  whole,  and  is  to  a  great  extent  a  result  of  a  theologi- 


YOUTH  AND  STUDENT  WORK  99 

cal  tradition  which  fails  adequately  to  relate  faith  to  life. 
A  recent  trend  among  Christian  students  to  re-examine 
the  working  of  God  in  history  and  the  Christian's  re 
sponsibility  within  God's  will  for  society  (see  SCM  Trends 
in  1952)  is  an  encouraging  development,  and  holds  forth 
the  possibility  of  a  more  intelligent  and  effective  social 
witness  among  Christian  students. 

One  reason  the  majority  of  students  are  opposed  to 
Yoshida's  Liberal  Party  is  that  students  generally  do  not 
favor  rearmament  and  the  Security  Pact  with  America, 
which  all  along  have  been  two  planks  in  Yoshida's  policy. 
There  is  a  very  strong  emotional  reaction  against  war 
among  all  of  the  Japanese  people,  and  it  is  with  great 
reluctance  that  many  envisage  the  prospect  of  rearma 
ment  and  alignment  with  America  in  the  world  struggle. 
It  is  feared  that  this  may  one  day  involve  Japan  in 
another  all-out  war.  Especially  strong  among  the  students 
is  the  wish  that  Japan  might  remain  independent  of  both 
the  Eastern  and  Western  camps,  like  India,  which  they 
greatly  admire.  One  reason  for  this  desire  is  the  natural 
reaction  against  continued  American  influence  in  Japan, 
now  that  the  Peace  Treaty  has  been  signed  and  the 
Occupation  removed.  This  is  not  to  say  Japan  will  not 
continue  within  the  American  sphere,  for  the  general  fear 
of  Russian  invasion  is  strong,  especially  recently  since 
Russian  patrol  vessels  have  been  firing  on  Japanese  fish 
ing  boats  in  Hokkaido  waters,  and  Russian  planes  have 
been  reported  over  Japan  as  far  south  as  Tokyo. 


100  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

Let  us  turn  now  to  review  the  various  agencies  which 
are  giving  themselves  to  full-time  work  with  students. 

Christian  Schools 

Christian  schools  have  a  unique  opportunity  among 
the  various  agencies  engaged  in  student  evangelism,  for 
they  are  in  a  position  to  shape  not  only  the  students' 
extra-curricular  interests,  but  to  a  great  extent  their 
entire  academic  experience  as  well.  The  1952  Kirisutokyo 
Nenkan  reports  that  of  the  329  colleges  and  universities 
in  Japan  47  are  Protestant  Christian. 

The  educational  and  evangelistic  effectiveness  of  our 
schools  varies  considerably  from  school  to  school.  All 
are  faced  to  some  extent  or  another  with  many  exceed 
ingly  frustrating  conditions  such  as  the  overcrowding  of 
classes,  a  serious  shortage  of  qualified  Christian  teachers, 
lack  of  opportunity  for  leisurely  student-teacher  contacts, 
and  the  never-ending  drain  of  financial  troubles.  In  spite 
of  this,  spiritual  victories  continue  to  be  reported  from 
every  school,  and  some  are  maintaining  wonderfully  high 
standards  both  in  their  academic  work  and  in  their 
witness  to  the  Gospel.  Christian  educators  themselves 
are  thinking  seriously  as  to  how  to  strengthen  the  evange 
listic  work  of  the  schools  and  the  total  contribution  of 
Christian  education  to  Kingdom  advance  in  Japan.  In 
another  part  of  this  volume  a  more  detailed  discussion  of 
Christian  schools  may  be  found. 

From  the  Christian  schools  let  us  turn  to  a   number 


YOUTH  AND  STUDENT  WORK  101 

of  agencies  which  are  giving  their  full  attention  to 
evangelistic  work  among  the  students  of  colleges  and 
universities  in  general.  Most  of  these  organizations  are 
working  in  both  Christian  and  non-Christian  schools  and 
concentrate  for  the  most  part  on  the  students  extra 
curricular  time. 

YMCA  and  YWCA  Student  Departments 

By  far  the  most  extensive  work  in  specialized  student 
evangelism  is  being  done  through  the  Student  Depart 
ments  of  the  Japan  YMCA  and  YWCA.  In  so  far  as  it 
can  be  said  that  there  is  a  Japanese  SCM  (Student  Chris 
tian  Movement),  these  two  bodies  constitute  its  core. 
For  over  50  years  they  have  been  related  to  the  WSCF 
(World  Student  Christian  Federation) ,  and  it  is  primarily 
through  them  that  Japanese  Christian  students  have  con 
tact  with  the  Student  Christian  Movements  of  other 
countries. 

The  local  work  of  both  Student  Departments  is  cen 
tered  .in  the  campus  "Y"  associations,  of  which  the 
YMCA  has  160  with  5,600  members,  and  the  YWCA  35 
with  1,200  members.  In  addition,  the  YMCA  is  operat 
ing  13  student  dormitories.  Before  jumping  to  conclu 
sions  as  to  the  relative  strength  of  YM  and  YW  work  in 
this  field,  it  should  be  remembered  that  in  Japan  women 
constitute  only  about  1/6  of  the  total  university  student 
population. 

At  the  national  level  each  of  the  Student  Departments 


102  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

works  through  a  committee  of  student  leaders  and  a 
committee  of  adult  advisers.  The  two  "  Y  "  movements 
engage  in  considerable  joint  work :  local  summer  schools 
for  discussions  of  student  evangelism  with  students  and 
professors ;  a  spring  Leaders  Conference  at  Gotemba  for 
adult  advisers ;  the  University  Commission,  which  studies 
the  relationship  of  Christianity  to  social  science,  natural 
science,  and  philosophy-education  (liberal  arts)  ;  an  annual 
students-in-industry  project,  carried  on  in  cooperation  with 
the  NCC  Youth  Commission ;  and  the  annual  World  Day 
of  Prayer  for  students.  In  addition  to  joint  work,  the 
YWCA  holds  a  Cabinet  Training  Conference  twice  a  year 
for  student  leaders,  and  the  YMCA  has  an  annual  national 
summer  school  at  Gotemba.  The  YMCA  also  publishes 
a  monthly  bulletin,  "  Gaku-Y  News  "  (Student-Y  News) . 
YMCA  Student  Department  staff  members  number  five, 
including  one  fraternal  secretary  from  the  United  States, 
with  Mr.  Tsunegoro  Nara  serving  as  Executive  Secretary. 
Miss  Kiyo  Takeda  is  Secretary  of  the  YWCA  Student 
Department. 

A  significant  feature  of  postwar  campus  "  Y  "  work 
is  the  fact  that  a  great  majority  of  the  associations  were 
organized,  not  through  the  stimulation  of  national  "  Y  " 
leadership,  but  purely  as  expressions  of  local  initiative. 
In  the  case  of  the  YMCA  nearly  80%  of  its  160  groups 
sprang  up  as  "  self-starters  "  of  this  type.  This  "  grass 
roots  "  strength  is  indicative  of  the  genuine  nature  of 
campus  "  Y  "  work  as  a  real  movement,  but  correspond- 


YOUTH  AND  STUDENT  WORK  103 

ingly  the  local  associations  tend  to  be  independent  of 
outside  leadership,  preferring  to  hold  closely  to  local 
patterns.  This  presents  obstacles  to  the  promotion  of 
various  national  projects  and  makes  difficult  the  integra 
tion  of  the  movement  into  a  united  whole.  The  usual 
program  pattern  of  campus  "  Y  "  groups  centers  around 
Bible  study  and  prayer,  some  discussions  of  Christian 
faith  and  life,  and  occasional  evangelistic  meetings.  This 
kind  of  program  appeals  more  strongly  to  non-Christian 
than  to  Christian  students  who  are  very  busy  with  much 
the  same  type  of  thing  in  their  own  churches,  with  the 
result  that  the  percentage  of 'Christians  in  most  campus 
"  Y "  associations  is  quite  small,  numbering  only  about 
5  to  30%.  In  the  final  section  of  this  article  will  be  found 
a  discussion  of  the  SCM  program  as  related  to  the 
churches. 

Other  Student  Work 

There  are  a  number  of  groups  besides  the  YMCA  and 
YWCA  doing  Christian  work  with  students,  among  them 
the  Inter- Varsity  Christian  Fellowship,  student  centers, 
and  the  new  Kyodan  Student  Committee. 

Inter- Varsity  Christian  Fellowship,  postwar  in  Japan, 
has  10  student  campus  groups  in  Tokyo  and  Kobe,  pub 
lishes  a  quarterly  magazine  called  "  Kirisutosha "  (The 
Christian),  and  holds  an  annual  summer  conference. 
IVCF  emphasis  is  primarily  evangelistic,  with  much  atten 
tion  given  to  the  Christian  student's  daily  devotional  life

and  personal  witness.  The  staff  consists  of  three  mis 
sionaries  and  two  part-time  Japanese  workers,  with  Miss 
Irene  Webster-Smith  in  the  position  of  senior  responsibility. 
It  is  hoped  this  spring  to  rebuild  the  headquarters  (near 
Ochanomizu  Station,  Tokyo)  so  that  it  will  include 
adequate  space  for  a  local  student  center. 

At  present  it  appears  that  there  are  but  two  fully- 
staffed  and  equipped  student  centers  in  the  country,  both 
in  Tokyo. 

Both  were  founded  some  years  before  the  war  and 
are  now  working  within  the  framework  of  the  United 
Church.  The  Student  Christian  Fellowship  (overseas  con 
nections  Methodist)  is  located  at  Shinanomachi,  and 
employs  a  missionary  and  a  part-time  Japanese  co-director. 
It  has  a  missionary  residence  and  student  hall,  but  it  is 
hoped  that  the  entire  plant  may  be  rebuilt  sometime  this 
year.  The  Waseda  University  student  center,  known  as 
Waseda  Hoshien  (overseas  connections  American  Baptist) , 
has  two  Japanese  staff  workers  and  a  missionary  family, 
and  is  equipped  with  a  dormitory  and  student  activity 
rooms,  as  well  as  living  quarters  for  both  Japanese  and 
foreign  staff  members. 

The  student  center  work  has  been  considerably 
brightened  by  the  decision  of  at  least  two  denominations 
to  move  into  the  field.  The  Episcopal  Church  is  now 
looking  for  property  near  Hokkaido  University  in  Sapporo, 
and  expects  to  build  a  total  of  five  student  centers  in 
the  immediate  years  ahead,  all  to  be  located  next  to 


YOUTH  AND  STUDENT  WORK  105 

government  universities.  The  Evangelical  Lutheran  Church 
has  a  Japanese  pastor  and  a  missionary  family  in  Tokyo 
organizing  a  program  for  the  student  center  it  will  build 
this  spring  midway  between  Ichigaya  and  lidabashi  Sta 
tions.  The  plant  will  include  a  small  student  hostel, 
a  chapel,  student  activity  rooms,  and  a  residence  for  the 
Japanese  pastor  and  family.  The  Lutherans  hope  to  esta 
blish  another  student  center  in  Kyoto  in  a  year  or  so. 
The  expansion  of  student  center  work  would  seem  to 
indicate  that  within  the  total  Student  Christian  Movement 
the  place  of  the  intensive  local  witness  is  being  more 
fully  appreciated. 

In  the  fall  of  1952  the  United  Church  (Kyodan)  Youth 
Department  set  up  a  new  committee,  called  the  Church 
Student  Committee,  to  do  student  evangelistic  work.  The 
chairman  is  Rev.  Teruji  Hirayama,  pastor  of  the  Tokyo 
Yamate  Church.  This  new  committee  hopes,  among  other 
things,  to  promote  closer  relationships  between  the  Student 
Christian  Movement  and  student  evangelism  in  the 
churches ;  extend  evangelism  of  students  in  government 
universities ;  hold  leadership  training  conferences ;  and 
organize  a  Student  Evangelism  Committee  in  each  of  the 
13  districts  of  the  Kyodan,  patterned  after  the  Tokyo 
district  Student  Evangelism  Committee  (Rev.  Hirayama, 
chairman),  the  only  such  area  committee  now  existing 
within  the  United  Church. 


106  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

SCM  Trends  in  1952 

During  the  year  1952  two  general  trends  have  charac 
terized  the  student  Christian  program  in  Japan.  The 
first  has  been  a  renewed  concern  on  the  part  of  students 
for  Bible  study.  In  the  years  soon  after  the  war  there 
was  a  marked  interest  among  students  in  general  in 
certain  social  problems  such  as  student  government  and 
world  peace,  and  a  number  of  the  more  forward-looking 
Christian  students  and  seekers  shared  this  common 
enthusiasm  to  get  into  action  over  practical  issues.  One 
reason  for  the  popularity  of  the  work  camps  was  that 
they  came  at  just  the  right  time  to  provide  Christian 
young  people  with  an  outlet  for  their  new  social  concern. 
During  the  past  year  this  concern  for  social  action  has 
continued,  but  many  students  have  evidenced  a  desire  to 
go  more  deeply  into  the  philosophy  of  the  Christian 
social  witness.  This  study  is  Bible-centered,  and  seeks 
to  understand  more  fully  the  dynamic  purpose  and  plan 
of  God  in  history  and  the  Christian's  place  within  that 
plan.  All  of  this  is  very  encouraging  and  will  be  a 
double  cause  for  thanksgiving  if  the  study  issues  in  more 
effective  action. 

The  second  general  trend  among  Christian  students 
has  been  a  growing  desire  for  reconciliation  with  the 
people  of  other  Asian  countries.  As  contact  with  these 
nations  has  become  more  common  there  has  come  a 
disturbing  realization  of  the  extent  to  which  the  war 


YOUTH  AND  STUDENT  WORK  107 

alienated  Japan  from  her  neighbors.  This  has  produced 
among  Christian  young  people  a  sense  of  sin  and 
repentance  and  a  deep  desire  for  a  renewal  of  broken 
ties,  especially  among  the  Christians  of  these  other  coun 
tries.  Christian  students  here  were  profoundly  impressed 
by  a  letter  from  the  Chinese  SCM  stating  that  Chinese 
Christian  young  people  had  prayed  for  Japanese  Christians 
during  the  war,  and  expressing  a  desire  to  re-establish 
Christian  fellowship.  In  the  summer  of  1951  one  Chris 
tian  Philippine  young  person,  and  last  summer  two, 
came  to  Japan  to  take  part  in  NCC  work  camps  and  other 
student  conferences,  and  this  spring  for  the  first  time 
several  Christian  Japanese  will  go  to  the  Philippines. 
Letters  and  messages  have  been  sent  to  the  Christian 
young  people  of  the  Philippines,  and  even  now  the  student 
YWCA  is  raising  money  to  invite  several  Philippine 
students  to  Japan  to  study.  Messages  and  books  have 
also  b'een  sent  to  the  Korean  SCM,  and  last  year's  World 
Day  of  Prayer  offering  was  dedicated  to  help  relieve  the 
suffering  of  Korean  students.  This  is  some  indication 
of  how  God's  redemptive  love  is  operating  to  heal  the 
very  real  and  bitter  wounds  of  war. 

The  SCM  and  the  Churches 

Before  discussing  the  relationship  of  the  Japanese 
Student  Christian  Movement  to  the  churches,  a  word 
should  be  said  about  the  SCM  itself.  As  has  already 
been  intimated,  student  evangelistic  work  in  Japan  cannot 


108  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

yet  be  called  a  Student  Christian  Movement  in  the  same 
sense  that  the  term  is  used  in  other  countries.  From 
the  general  description  just  completed  it  can  be  seen 
that  there  is  a  genuine  nation  wide  movement  among 
Christian  students.  Its  two  principal  contributing  forces, 
however,  the  YMCA  and  YWCA  Student  Departments, 
although  engaged  in  considerable  joint  work,  are  as 
yet  not  united  into  one  Student  Christian  Movement 
body.  There  is  some  discussion  of  this  point  in  student 
"  Y "  circles.  One  more  step  that  should  be  taken  in 
the  development  of  a  full-fledged  Japanese  SCM  is  to 
provide  a  means  whereby  student  work  outside  the  YMCA 
and  YWCA  can  more  fully  join  the  movement  as  a  part 
of  an  inclusive  and  integrated  whole.  Christian  students 
are  acutely  aware  of  the  fact  that  they  are  a  tiny 
minority  in  the  schools,  and  in  order  to  develop  a 
stronger,  more  adventuresome  spirit  in  the  SCM  it  is 
essential  that  all  Christian  student  agencies  work  to 
gether  in  close  cooperation  and  mutual  support.  These 
steps  cannot  be  hurried  if  they  are  to  represent  sound 
progress,  but  those  who  are  engaged  in  this  work  are 
looking  for  the  day  when  Japanese  student  evangelism 
will  grow  into  full  stature  as  one  of  the  genuine  Student 
Christian  Movements  within  the  fellowship  of  the  World 
Student  Christian  Federation. 

The  Japan  SCM  and  the  churches  are  formally 
related  through  the  NCC  Youth  Commission.  Here  re 
presentatives  of  the  two  "  Y "  Student  Departments, 


YOUTH  AND  STUDENT  WORK  109 

which  constitute  the  core  of  the  Japanese  SCM,  sit  down 
with  representatives  of  many  other  Christian  bodies  to 
think  together  about  the  total  youth  program  for  the 
country.  Here  a  certain  amount  of  coordination  and 
joint  effort  is  possible.  The  NCC-sponsored  work  camps 
and  caravans  are  a  demonstration  of  broad-based  coopera 
tion  in  the  youth  field. 

At  the  local  level  the  Student  Christian  Movement  is 
not  so  closely  related  to  the  churches  as  could  be  desired. 
One  reason  has  already  been  touched  upon,  namely,  that 
a  great  many  Christian  students  are  active  in  their 
churches  but  are  not  tied  up  with  campus  Christian  efforts. 
Another  reason  is  that,  with  a  few  outstanding  exceptions, 
the  pastors  generally  seem  rather  unaware  either  of  the 
SCM  as  such,  or  of  the  fact  that  the  students  in  their 
congregations  are  a  special  group  deserving  a  special 
ministry.  Christian  students  almost  uniformly  are  hard 
workers  in  their  own  churches,  often  giving  more  time 
and  strength  than  they  can  well  afford  to  give,  but  aside 
from  the  regular  program  of  the  church  it  is  the  rare 
pastor  who  sits  down  with  his  students  to  discuss  with 
them  what  is  close  to  their  hearts  as  students.  This  is 
one  reason  student  centers  and  student  Christian  groups 
often  take  on  some  of  the  aspects  of  a  church,  by  default, 
and  student  workers  frequently  find  themselves  function 
ing  so  much  as  pastors  that  there  is  all  too  little  time 
left  for  the  prophetic  ministry  that  should  be  so  strong 
in  a  Christian  youth  movement. 


110  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

The  SCM  regards  itself  as  a  movement  auxiliary  to 
and  spiritually  dependent  upon  the  church,  which  is  God's 
uniquely  chosen  instrument  for  doing  His  work  on  earth. 
The  SCM  feels  it  has  a  two-fold  ministry  among  students  : 
(1)  First,  to  introduce  them  to  Christ  and  the  fellowship 
of  church  life.  In  this  sense  the  SCM  serves  as  a  door 
to  the  churches,  and  it  considers  its  basic  evangelistic 
responsibility  is  not  fulfilled  until  the  seeker  becomes  a 
baptized  member  of  a  local  congregation.  (2)  Secondly, 
the  SCM  seeks  to  mobilize  Christian  students  for  a  strong 
witness  within  the  colleges  and  universities  to  the  total 
claims  of  Christ  in  every  phase  of  life — spiritual,  intel 
lectual  and  social.  In  this  capacity  the  SCM  becomes  an 
arm  of  the  churches,  with  the  task  of  speaking  and 
practicing  the  prophetic  message  of  the  Word  of  God. 
It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  pastors,  SCM  leaders  and 
Christian  students  will  give  more  careful  thought  to  the 
respective  functions  of  the  SCM  and  the  churches,  and 
that  increasingly  these  two  great  movements  will  work 
together  in  full  appreciation  of  their  partnership  in  a 
common  task. 


CHRISTIAN  SCHOOLS 

by  Tsuraki  Yano 

1.     Development 

Christian  schools  in  Japan  started  in  the  year  1871 
when  the  Kyoritsu  Girls'  School  was  inaugurated  at 
Yokohama.  From  that  time  on  many  Christian  schools 
were  opened  throughout  Japan  in  the  early  part  of  the 
Meiji  era  when  Japan  was  keenly  interested  in  Western 
civilization. 

The  edict  of  the  Education  Ministry  in  1899,  however, 
made  it  unlawful  to  teach  religion  or  to  have  religious 
observances  even  as  extracurricular  activities  not  only  in 
public  schools  but  also  in  private  schools  because  the 
curricula  were  under  government  regulation.  This  caused 
great  difficulty,  especially  to  Christian  secondary  schools 
and  those  which  wanted  explicitly  to  preserve  Christian 
principles,  as  they  had  to  be  classified  in  the  so-called 
"  miscellaneous  school "  category  which  was  deprived  of 
all  privileges  attached  to  regular  secondary  schools.  After 
some  years  the  way  was  opened  for  religious  schools  to 
recover  these  privileges  by  special  designation  of  the 
Education  Ministry  for  acknowledged  "  miscellaneous 
schools  "  as  fulfilling  the  secondary  school  qualifications. 
During  the  late  war  many  Christian  schools  were  pressed 
by  prefectural  authorities  to  become  regular  non-religious 

111 


112  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

secondary  schools. 

After  the  last  war,  however,  the  edict  of  1899  was 
abolished  by  Education  Minister  Maeda  and  religious 
education  in  private  schools  was  made  free.  At  the  same 
time  the  democratic  and  international  spirit  which  has  been 
stimulated  by  the  postwar  reformation  has  made  Christian 
schools  popular  even  among  non-Christian  people.  As 
the  result  of  this  tendency  the  Christian  schools  have 
begun  to  increase  in  number  and  enrollment.  At  present 
there  are  189  Christian  schools  from  universities  to  primary 
schools  comprising  more  than  one  hundred  thousand 
students. 

2.     Theological  Education 

There  are  two  seminaries  (Tokyo  Shingaku  Daigaku 
and  Seikokwai  Shingakuin)  and  four  theological  depart 
ments  (Doshisha,  Kansei  Gakuin,  Seinan  Gakuin  and 
Aoyama  Gakuin)  of  college  grade  and  above. 

Beside   the   above   mentioned   there  are  some  thirty- 
odd   seminaries   and  evangelist   training  institutes  which 
are  under  the  auspices  of  several  different  denominations. 
Among  them  we  may  mention  the  following  institutions  : 
Japan    Biblical     Seminary,    Tokyo    (Kyodan)  ;    Sem 
inary  for  Rural  Evangelism  at  Hino,  Tokyo-to  (Kyo 
dan)  ;  Williams  Biblical  Seminary,  Kyoto  (Episcopal)  ; 
Momoyama  Theological  Seminary,  Osaka  (Episcopal)  ; 
Nippon   Lutheran  Seminary,  Tokyo  (Evangelical  Lu 
theran)  ;    Kobe  Seminary  (Nippon  Kirisuto)  ;   Tokyo 


CHRISTIAN  SCHOOLS  113 

Bible    Institute     (Holiness)  ;     Osaka    Bible     Institute 

(Osaka   Mission)  ;    Salvation   Army    Officer  Training 

Institute,  Tokyo  (Salvation  Army). 

As  for  enrollment,  Tokyo  Shingaku  Daigaku  has  the 
largest  (242),  and  Doshisha  (171),  Aoyama  (112)  and 
Japan  Biblical  Seminary  (91)  come  next. 

3.    The   Special    Situation   of    the    Japanese    Christian 
Schools 

It  is  worth  mentioning  that  the  Japanese  Christian 
schools  are  in  a  special  situation.  In  Europe  and  America 
churches  were  founded  and  developed  first,  and  church 
schools  were  developed  later  with  the  financial  support 
of  churches.  In  Japan,  however,  Christian  schools  were 
founded  and  developed  side  by  side  with  churches  with 
the  aid  of  foreign  mission  boards.  Being  institutions  in  a 
pagan  society,  Christian  schools  in  Japan  have  to  exert 
a  special  effort  to  prepare  the  way  for  Christianity  as 
well  as  to  teach  and  train  students  to  live  with  Christian 
faith.  We  cannot  overlook  their  contributions  in  the  past 
toward  bringing  the  public  to  an  understanding  of  Chris 
tianity.  Therefore,  evaluation  of  Christian  schools  should 
not  be  made  in  terms  of  percentage  of  baptized  students 
only.  It  goes  without  saying  that  the  policy  of  Christian 
schools  should  conform  with  the  evangelistic  plan  of 
their  respective  denominations  and  that  the  denominations 
should  encourage  and  help  the  schools.  However,  it  is 
hoped  that  the  denomination  is  careful  not  to  interfere 


114  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

with    the   education   proper   in   schools   which    it   is  not 
actively  supporting. 

4.     Problems  in  Christian  Schools 

There  are  many  problems  confronting  Christian  schools 
in  Japan  at  present.  Among  these  the  following  are  the 
most  pressing  ones. 

a.  Finance : 

At  the  time  the  war  ended  public  schools  were  very 
poorly  supported  for  their  recovery  and  maintenance  as  the 
government  was  in  great  financial  difficulty.  But  Christian 
schools  which  had  connections  with  foreign  mission 
boards  were  generously  helped  by  money,  materials 
and  teachers  which  were  sent  from  abroad.  However, 
as  public  schools  are  improving  with  the  recovery  of 
the  country,  all  private  schools  are  feeling  financial 
difficulty  in  coping  with  this  situation  and  Christian 
schools  are  not  exceptions  to  this  as  they  are  supported 
mostly  by  student  tuition  fees  which  are  much  higher 
than  the  sum  paid  at  public  schools.  Under  this  situation 
it  is  natural  that  students  make  it  their  first  choice  to 
enter  public  schools  and  colleges.  Therefore,  Christian 
schools  should  have  special  plans  if  they  are  to  attract 
superior  students. 

b.  Establishing  high  academic  and  educational  stand 
ards  : 

In  colleges  and  universities  much  effort  should  be 
made  to  maintain  high  academic  and  educational  stand- 


CHRISTIAN  SCHOOLS  115 

ards.  However,  it  is  difficult  in  preserit-day  Japan  to 
have  all  Christian  professors  who  are  recognized  as  having 
high  scholastic  ability,  and  as  the  result  most  of  the 
Christian  colleges  and  universities  have  to  appoint  non- 
Christian  professors  for  some  courses.  In  secondary 
schools,  too,  there  are  many  cases  where  teachers 
do  not  have  ability  either  in  teaching  or  in  religious 
training.  These  problems  bring  forth  the  need  of  con 
sidering  a  program  of  teacher  training  for  Christian 
schools. 

c.    Secularization  : 

Secularization  of  Christian  schools  is  a  problem  not 
only  in  Japan.  However,  difficulty  in  financing  and  in 
supplying  able  Christian  teachers  makes  it  more  difficult 
to  keep  Christian  standards  in  schools  in  Japan  compared 
with  those  in  Europe  and  America.  The  organization  of 
the  controlling  boards,  matters  of  finance,  teacher  train 
ing,  curriculum,  extra-curricular  activity,  student  guidance, 
etc.,  are  involved  in  this  problem  and  further  study  is 
strongly  required. 

5.    The   National    Christian    Education    Association    in 
Japan 

The  NCEA  was  organized  in  1910  for  the  purpose  of 
promoting  Christian  education  through  the  fellowship  and 
mutual  aid  of  Christian  schools.  The  requirements  for 
membership  in  this  association  are  as  follows : 

a.    The  school  must  be  incorporated. 


116  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

b.  Christian   principles   must   be   made  clear  in  the 
constitution. 

c.  All   members   of  the   board    of   trustees  must  be 
Christians  in  principle. 

d.  Most  of  the  full-time  teachers  must  be  Christians. 

e.  Equipment    and    teachers'    salaries    should   fulfill 
certain  standards. 

f.  The  school  must  be  in  the  category  of  university, 

college,  junior  college,  high  school,  primary

INTERNATIONAL  CHRISTIAN 
UNIVERSITY 

by    Carl  Kreider 

During  the  past  year  a  program  of  instruction  was 
begun  at  the  International  Christian  University  at  Mitaka, 
Tokyo.  A  language  institute  was  in  operation,  specializ 
ing  in  English  language  instruction  for  the  preparation 
of  students  for  the  program  of  the  College  of  Liberal 
Arts  which  opened  in  April  1953.  From  the  start,  both 
English  and  Japanese  are  languages  of  instruction  at  ICU. 
The  language  institute  has  convinced  us  that  Japanese 
students  with  high  level  ability  can  in  a  year's  time  mas 
ter  English  to  the  extent  that  they  will  be  able  to  read 
technical  books,  write  extensive  term  papers,  attend 
lectures  and  participate  actively  in  discussion  groups — all 
in  English.  It  has  also  convinced  us  that  young  Japanese 
high  school  graduates  of  outstanding  ability  and  achieve 
ment  will  be  attracted  to  a  Christian  university. 

English  language  courses  in  oral  expression,  oral 
comprehension,  written  expression  and  reading  for  com 
prehension  were  taught  by  a  total  of  five  full-time  and 
one  part-time  instructors  supported  by  three  full-time 
assistants.  In  addition  the  students  took  a  course  in 
Social  Science  in  which  four  full-time  faculty  members 
participated  as  lecturers  and  discussion  leaders  mainly  in 

117 


118  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

the  English  language.  Seventy-five  students  were  enrolled 
in  the  day  courses.  In  addition,  a  total  of  75  business 
men  and  foreign  and  Japanese  teachers  of  English  were 
enrolled  in  the  evening  classes  and  in  the  summer  session. 

College  of  Liberal  Arts 

The  Mombusho  (Ministry  of  Education)  on  December 
22,  1952,  announced  the  approval  of  a  charter  for  the 
ICU  College  of  Liberal  Arts  in  the  areas  of  natural 
science,  social  science  and  the  humanities.  All  of  the 
Christian  high  schools  in  Japan  were  contacted  immedi 
ately  and  were  asked  to  recommend  outstanding  graduates 
for  admission  to  the  first  class.  Fourteen  schools  responded 
with  recommendations,  and  their  students  after  submitting 
to  a  modified  program  of  tests  and  interviews  were  granted 
letters  of  admission.  The  prefectures  were  also  contacted 
and  invited  to  submit  candidates  but  because  of  the 
short  time  involved  few  responded.  In  future  years, 
approximately  one-third  of  the  150  students  to  be  admitted 
annually  to  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts  may  be  recom 
mended  by  the  Christian  schools  and  another  one-third 
by  the  prefectures.  The  remainder  will  be  selected  through 
general  admissions  procedure.  Christian  school  and  pre- 
fectural  candidates  who  are  not  admitted  in  the  special 
testing  and  interview  program  will,  of  course,  be  eligible 
to  participate  without  prejudice  in  the  general  competition. 


INTERNATIONAL  CHRISTIAN  UNIVERSITY  119 

Admissions  Program 

More  than  500  applications  for  admission  were  filed 
this  year.  Almost  all  of  these  candidates  had  outstand 
ing  scholastic  records  in  high  school  and  had  scored 
among  the  upper  20  per  cent  of  the  students  who  took 
the  National  University  Aptitude  Test  last  December. 
Approximately  350  of  these  students  were  invited  to  the 
campus  of  ICU  early  in  February  to  be  interviewed  by 
two  members  of  the  ICU  faculty  and  to  take  a  series  of 
English  and  "  Learning  Efficiency  "  tests.  The  Learning 
Efficiency  tests  are  given  in  Japanese  and  are  designed 
to  reveal  not  how  much  the  student  has  already  learned 
but  how  thoroughly  the  student  can  master  difficult 
technical  material  in  the  sciences,  the  social  sciences  and 
the  humanities  in  the  relatively  short  period  of  time 
encompassed  by  the  test.  Rigid  health  examinations 
both  by  the  students'  local  doctors  arid  by  the  ICU  staff 
physician  completed  the  selection  process.  A  special 
selection  committee  in  Hong  Kong  chose  five  Chinese 
students  from  a  long  list  of  applicants  for  scholarship 
grants  from  the  United  Board  of  Christian  Colleges  in 
China.  All  of  these  students  together  with  over  60  of 
the  past  year's  language  institute  students  constitute  the 
student  body  of  approximately  200  full-time  students  for 
1953-54.  The  student  body  will  be  increased  by  150  each 
year  until  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts  will  have  reached 
its  full  $j.ze  of  600  in  the  academic  year  1956-57.  By  that 


120  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

time   it   is   also   planned   to  have  graduate  schools  with 
approximately  250  graduate  students. 

Program  of  Instruction 

The  program  of  instruction  for  the  first  year  of  the 
College  of  Liberal  Arts  is  English  and  general  education 
courses  for  the  new  students  and  general  education 
courses  alone  for  the  students  who  are  continuing  from 
the  English  Language  Institute.  Each  student  is  required 
to  complete  24  units  in  intensive  English  instruction 
during  his  first  year  of  residence.  The  only  exception  to 
this  rule  is  for  students  from  abroad  who  are  already 
competent  in  English  but  who  require  an  intensive  pro 
gram  of  Japanese  instruction  before  being  able  to  take 
work  effectively  under  Japanese  professors.  In  addition 
to  English  the  student  elects  one  of  his  six  general  educa 
tion  courses  during  his  first  year.  Three  of  the  other 
five  courses  will  normally  be  taken  in  the  student's 
second  year  and  two  in  his  third  year.  Lectures  in 
health  and  recreation  and  physical  education  exercises  are 
required  of  all  students  in  their  first  two  years  of  residence. 
The  following  diagram  illustrates  the  four-year  program. 

Students  may  major  in  natural  science,  social  science, 
or  the  humanities.  By  selecting  a  general  education 
course  from  his  major  field  in  his  freshman  year  the 
student  may  pursue  his  major  interest  from  the  very 
beginning  of  his  four  year-program.  In  his  sophomore  year, 
in  addition  to  another  general  education  course  in  his

major  field  he  can  take  12  units  in  specialized  courses 
in  his  area  major.  In  the  last  two  years,  of  course,  the 
student  can  concentrate  his  attention  upon  his  major 
interest  as  much  as  he  likes.  The 'content  of  the  major 
itself  may  be  either  broad  or  highly  specialized,  depending 
upon  the  future  plans  of  the  student.  Since  most  of  our 
students  are  preparing  for  leadership  positions  rather 
than  highly  technical  appointments  it  is  likely  that  most 
students  will  choose  to  complete  their  majors  from  various 
related  academic  disciplines  rather  than  concentrating  all 
of  their  time  in  one. 

Both  lecture  and  discussion  techniques  are  employed  in 
most  courses.  In  a  typical  general  education  course  the 
students  all  meet  together  twice  a  week  for  lecture 
sessions.  In  the  third  period  of  the  week  they  are  divided 
into  discussion  groups  of  from  16  to  20  students  each  in 
order  to  consider  together  the  implications  of  the  ma 
terial  which  has  been  presented  in  the  lecture.  Some 
courses  lend  themselves  well  to  laboratory  work.  Small 


122  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

groups  of  students  meet  together  in  laboratory  sections 
in  the  natural  sciences  and  in  certain  aspects  of  the 
humanities  and  the  English  program  as  well.  In  the 
humanities  special  music  listening  periods  are  provided 
as  well  as  special  opportunities  to  look  at  accurate 
reproductions  of  famous  works  of  art.  Similarly  small 
drill  sections  are  provided  in  English  instruction  and  the 
students  have  individual  use  of  tape  recorders  in  order 
that  they  can  hear  and  improve  their  own  intonation  of 
difficult  English  words. 

Needless  to  say,  this  type  of  instruction  demands  a 
low  ratio  of  students  to  faculty.  The  faculty  at  present 
contains  27  full-time  instructors  and  8  full-time  assistants. 
In  addition  there  are  9  part-time  lecturers  and  2  part- 
time  assistants.  Approximately  one-half  of  the  full-time 
instructors  are  from  overseas,  and  the  great  majority 
of  the  native  instructors  have  studied  abroad.  The 
foreign  instructors  stem  from  various  national  groups  and 
were  born  in  seven  different  countries.  There  is  truly  an 
international  faculty. 

A  Christian  University 

Christianity  pervades  the  life  of  the  entire  institution. 
Since  all  full-time  members  of  the  faculty  are  Christians 
the  students  have  abundant  opportunities  to  observe 
practical  Christianity  in  action.  Christianity  also  pervades 
all  parts  of  the  curriculum — the  "  secular  "  part  as  well 
as  the  specific  courses  in  Christianity.  The  required 


INTERNATIONAL  CHRISTIAN  UNIVERSITY  123 

general  education  courses  in  the  humanities  include  ex 
tensive  sections  on  Christianity  taught  by  such  well-known 
scholars  as  Professors  Kanda  and  lino  and  by  such 
recognized  authorities  from  abroad  as  Dr.  Emil  Brunner, 
but  the  sections  of  the  courses  dealing  with  philosophy, 
literature,  art  and  music  are  also  taught  from  a  distinctly 
Christian  perspective.  The  same  is  true  of  the  general 
education  courses  in  the  natural  and  social  sciences. 
Indeed,  the  Christian  emphasis  in  these  courses  may 
well  constitute  one  of  the  most  significant  contributions 
ICU  can  make  to  these  students. 

A  well-organized  midweek  chapel  service  is  the 
pivotal  point  of  the  activity  of  the  entire  student  body. 
On  Sunday  mornings  some  students  participate  as  in 
structors  in  the  Sunday  School  which  serves  about  200 
children  of  the  community  while  other  students  engage 
in  similar  activity  in  various  Sunday  Schools  in  other 
parts  of  Tokyo.  Following  the  ICU  Sunday  School  hour, 
students,  faculty,  and  members  of  the  community  gather 
together  for  a  worship  service.  A  large  number  of  the 
faculty  members  have  contributed  to  this  service  as 
speakers.  In  addition,  student  religious  leadership  has 
been  organized  and  the  faculty  has  fostered  and  contributed 
to  a  number  of  informal  religious  meetings.  Three  different 
Bible  study  groups  are  meeting  regularly  each  week 
under  the  instruction  of  regular  members  of  the  faculty. 
Smaller  informal  Bible  study  and  prayer  groups  play  a 
significant  part  in  the  lives  of  some  of  the  students. 


124  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

Campus  Development 

During  the  past  year  the  large  fireproof  University 
Hall  was  completed  and  an  effective  heating  plant  installed. 
Class  rooms,  laboratories,  lecture  halls,  library,  faculty 
and  administrative  offices  are  all  efficiently  housed  in  this 
building.  Six  faculty  apartments  and  four  faculty  homes 
have  already  been  completed  and  more  are  soon  to  be 
underway.  A  temporary  dormitory  housing  22  men  has 
been  in  use  for  a  number  of  months  and  construction 
will  begin  shortly  on  two  men's  units  capable  of  housing 
130  men  and  a  women 'sv dormitory  for  50  women.  Until 
these  new  dormitories  have  been  completed  students  are 
being  housed  in  suitable  quarters  having  convenient 
transportation  facilities  to  the  campus. 

A  total  of  nearly  30,000  volumes  has  already  been 
acquired  for  the  open  stack  of  the  library  and  orders  are 
being  placed  which  rapidly  will  increase  these  holdings. 

Fees  and  Scholarships 

Outside  of  the  Y  200  application  fee,  the  Y  2,000 
admissions  fee,  and  the  Y  1,200  initial  health  examination 
required  of  all  new  students,  students  are  subject  only 
to  the  Y  15,000  per  semester  comprehensive  fee.  This 
means  that  there  are  no  special  fees  for  registration,  for 
student  activities,  for  the  library  or  laboratory  instruction 
in  science  courses.  All  of  these  fees  have  been  combined 
with  the  tuition  fee  in  one  inclusive  general  fee.  Recog- 


125 


nizing  that  many  highly  qualified  young  people  may  be 
financially  unable  to  pay  even  this  fee,  however,  approx 
imately  70  part  and  full  tuition  scholarship  grants  have 
been  provided  and  an  active  student  "  arbeit "  program 
is  in  operation.  Room  and  board  at  the  ICU' dormitory 
costs  the  student  Y  4,500  each  month,  but  the  rates  in 
the  new  dormitories  may  be  somewhat  higher. 

Graduate  Schools 

Graduate  schools  ordinarily  engage  in  three  types  of 
functions :  research,  service,  and  instruction.  A  recent 
decision  by  the  Mombusho  to  enforce  the  regulation 
barring  an  institution  from  offering  graduate  work  until 
its  four-year  undergraduate  program  of  instruction  is  in 
full  operation  has  necessitated  postponement  of  the  func 
tion  of  instruction.  The  remaining  two  functions,  however, 
are  alread}^  underway  on  the  ICU  campus  in  the  Educa 
tional  Research  Institute,  the  Nutrition  Research  Institute 
and  the  Rural  Welfare  Research  Institute.  Participants 
in  these  institutes  are  also  receiving  valuable  educational 
experiences,  although  it  is  not  possible  at  the  present 
time  to  grant  graduate  credit  for  the  work  completed. 


SOCIAL  WORK 

by    Esther  B.  Rhoads 

Social  work  in  Japan  has  continued  to  show  steady 
improvement  during  the  year  1952  but  all  programs  have 
been  handicapped  by  lack  of  funds  and  trained  leadership. 
Budgets  for  public  assistance  although  far  from  adequate 
have  been  increased  and  the  better  economic  conditions 
of  the  country  have  been  reflected  in  welfare  institutions. 
The  Community  Chest  surpassed  its  goal  of  Y  118,398,000 
— more  than  it  ever  raised  before,  but  the  number  of 
registered  welfare  agencies  is  increasing  year  by  year 
(600  new  institutions  registered  in  1952)  so  that  the  grant 
from  the  Community  Chest  to  a  given  institution  has 
actually  decreased. 

The  two  government  schools  of  social  work  have 
graduated  453  students  in  the  last  few  years  and  several 
hundred  social  workers  have  availed  themselves  of  the 
short  courses  offered.  Courses  in  social  work  are  being 
offered  by  a  greater  number  of  colleges  and  universities. 

As  one  visits  various  welfare  institutions  one  is  im 
pressed  with  the  improved  health  especially  of  children 
and  with  the  dedication  and  clear  sense  of  direction  of 
the  staff  in  charge.  Out  of  the  postwar  confusion  each 
institution  is  emerging  with  definite  jobs  and  aims. 

More  volunteers  are  giving  time,  money  and  materials 
126 


SOCIAL  WORK  127 

to  help  social  work  programs.  Students,  women's  clubs, 
work  camps,  all  make  their  contribution.  Army  units 
under  the  leadership  of  chaplains  have  rendered  valuable 
service  in  renovating  buildings,  providing  clothing,  and 
planning  good  times  for  children. 

Social  work  institutions  fall  into  many  categories. 
Japan  has  some  excellent  institutions  stressing  infant 
care,  including  pre-natal  care,  well-baby  clinics,  milk 
stations,  medical  care  and  hospitalization  for  sick  babies, 
infant  homes  for  orphans  and  those  whose  parents  because 
of  illness  are  unable  to  care  for  their  babies.  The  Boshi 
Aiikukai,  Moriokacho,  Minato-ku,  Tokyo,  is  an  outstanding 
example  of  an  organization  covering  all  phases  of  infant 
care.  Branch  hospitals  and  extension  work  extend  the 
influence  of  this  program. 

Day  Nurseries  are  listed  as  numbering  5,583  with 
502,345  children  under  their  care.  Most  of  the  mothers 
are  working.  Some  of  the  nurseries  have  a  section  for 
infants  such  as  the  Kobokwan,  Terajima-machi,  Sumida- 
ku,  Tokyo,  but  most  of  them  concentrate  on  children  3-6 
years  of  age. 

Other  Children's  Institutions,  numbering  about  1,800, 
include : 

(1)  orphanages 

(2)  homes  of  correction 

(3)  institutions  caring  for  handicapped 

(a)  blind 

(b)  deaf 


128  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

(c)  mentally  retarded 

(d)  those  maimed  by  infantile  paralysis  or  other 
disease,  by  accident  or  by  spastic  condition. 

Some  incipient  T.B.  students  and  other  weak  children  are 
cared  for  in  special  schools  at  the  seashore. 

Junior  Delinquents  of  a  more  serious  nature  are 
cared  for  in  separate  institutions.  The  Ministry  of  Welfare 
aids  those  institutions  caring  for  street-girls.  Care  of 
prisoners  who  cannot  find  work  after  their  release  is 
receiving  increased  attention  by  both  public  and  private 
agencies. 

Among  the  institutions  caring  for  adults  are  those 
offering  training  for  the  handicapped,  care  for  the  aged 
and  mentally  incapable.  Most  large  cities  have  a  "  poor 
house  "  or  hostel  for  furonin  where  the  indigent  can  find 
shelter  pending  assignment  to  another  institution  or  the 
resumption  of  self-support. 

Medical  work  covers  a  whole  network  of  hospitals, 
public  and  private,  with  aid  offered  to  the  needy.  (This 
aid  is  usually  largely  financed  by  public  assistance  and 
social  insurance.) 

Public  Health  continues  vigorous  programs  of  educa 
tion  and  combats  diseases  and  epidemics  by  providing 
inoculation  and  X-ray  examinations  either  free  or  at 
nominal  prices.  Medical  social  workers  and  health  centers 
are  increasing. 

Tuberculosis  is  decreasing  slightly,  but  sanatoria  are 
full  to  overflowing,  which  means  that  patients  are  leaving 


SOCIAL  WORK  129 

their  homes  more  willingly.  Statistics  show  an  increas 
ing  percentage  of  patients  being  returned  to  regular  work. 
However,  out  of  an  estimated  I1 /a  millions  with  T.B.  only 
136,000  are  in  sanatoria.  If  all  active  T.B.  patients  could 
be  separated  from  other  members  of  the  family  the  spread 
of  the  disease  would  be  greatly  retarded. 

Leprosy  is  well  segregated  with  about  10,000  patients 
in  sanatoria. 

But  in  spite  of  the  somewhat  improved  conditions 
social  care  is  still  most  inadequate.  Budgets  are  too 
small.  One  has  to  remember  that  the  national  standard 
of  living  is  low.  Recently  Governor  Yasui  of  Tokyo 
reminded  the  LARA  representatives  that  although  the 
population  of  New  York  and  Tokyo  are  almost  equal, 
Tokyo's  budget  is  just  l/i»  of  that  of  New  York  City. 
We  need  to  remember  this  as  we  bump  over  poorly  paved 
roads  to  visit  the  drab  grey  institutions  with  their  worn, 
dirty  bedding,  lack  of  sheets,  and  patched  clothes. 

Public  assistance  provides  less  than  V 100  a  day. 
This  is  just  about  25  cents  in  American  money.  It  is 
obvious  that  the  greatest  care  is  necessary  to  maintain 
even  a  basic  diet,  and  that  almost  nothing  is  left  for 
buildings,  clothing,  fuel,  and  other  essentials. 

The   LARA   program   officially   came   to   an  end    in 
August,  1952,  when  the  last  supplies  left  the  Yokohama 
warehouse.    During   the   six  years,  1946-1952,  LARA  im 
ported  about  eleven  million  dollars  worth  of  supplies:

Other  items 492,856  Ibs. 

of  which  1,775,048  Ibs.  arrived  during  1952. 

The  LARA  representatives  are  very  conscious  of  the 
continuing  need  and  are  glad  to  report  that  a  plan  is 
being  worked  out  whereby  Church  World  Service,  the 
American  Friends  Service  Committee,  and  Catholic  Welfare 
will  be  licensed  to  import  relief  supplies  for  use  in  welfare 
institutions,  the  cost  of  ocean  freight,  insurance,  and 
distribution  to  be  borne  by  the  recipients  (prefectural 
budgets  or  the  institution) . 

Expressions  of  appreciation  have  continued.  Dr.  G. 
Ernest  Bott's  death  in  March  was  a  great  loss  to  the 
program  and  the  deluge  of  flowers  and  other  expressions 
of  sympathy  helped  all  to  realize  what  a  great  contribu 
tion  he  had  made  to  social  work  and  social  workers 
throughout  Japan. 

As  the  LARA  program  came  to  an  end  in  the  summer, 
a  national  "  Thank  You  Meeting  "  was  held  in  Hibiya  Hall 
with  nearly  3,000  social  workers  and  representative  orphans 
and  other  recipients  of  LARA  supplies  gathered  to  express 
their  deep  appreciation.  All  the  speakers,  from  Prince 
Takamatsu  and  the  top  government  officials  down  to  the 


SOCIAL  WORK  131 

smallest  orphans,  stressed  the  deep  impression  which 
LARA  has  made  as  an  expression  of  the  spirit  of  love 
and  human  brotherhood,  transcending  distance  and  war 
memories.  The  Christian  movement  has  a  right  to  be 
proud  of  this  contribution  to  social  work  in  Japan. 

The  Protestant  churches  have  supported  more  than 
350  welfare  projects:

with  hostels  for  ex-prisoners,  homes  for  the  aged,  and 
other  special  programs  making  up  the  total  list. 

Many  of  these  institutions  are  excellent,  but  others 
because  of  lack  of  adequate  support  are  not  meeting 
average  standards.  The  Christian  staff  members  are 
outstanding.  The  churches  must  back  these  dedicated 
workers  more  fully  and  place  more  of  our  Christian 
institutions  in  positions  of  leadership. 


CHRISTIAN  CHILDREN'S  FUND,  INC, 

by  Seiji  Giga 

Christian  Children's  Fund,  Inc.,  during  1952  established 
a  permanent  place  for  itself  in  the  Christian  social  welfare 
scene  of  Japan.  Where  many  social  welfare  programs 
were  discontinued  with  the  end  of  the  food  and  clothing 
emergencies,  C.  C.  F.  expanded  its  work  to  aid  Christian 
Homes  in  meeting  the  continuing  needs  of  orphaned 
children. 

Christian  Children's  Fund,  Incorporated,  is  a  world 
wide  orphan-assisting  organization  with  headquarters  in 
Richmond,  Virginia,  U.  S.  A.,  and  is  a  member  of  the 
National  Council  of  the  Churches  of  Christ  in  the  U.  S.  A. 
Parentless  children  in  Christian  child-welfare  institutions 
of  23  countries  throughout  the  free  world  are  receiving 
financial  and  material  support  through  the  kind  hearted- 
ness  of  "  sponsors "  in  North  America  who  contribute 
through  C.  C.  F.  These  "  sponsors  "  undertake  to  provide 
for  the  partial  support  of  individual  children  in  Christian 
orphanages  in  Japan,  Okinawa,  Formosa,  Philippines, 
Hong  Kong,  Siam,  India,  Pakistan,  Jordan,  Lebanon, 
Italy,  West  Germany,  Finland,  Brazil,  and  other  coun 
tries.  These  "  unofficial  long-range  adoptions  "  mean  that 
the  child  and  his  sponsor  also  exchange  letters,  photo 
graphs,  Christmas  greetings  and  gifts.  Many  sponsors

CHRISTIAN  CHILDREN'S  FUND,  INC.  133 

regard  these  children  as  their  own. 

Dr.  J.  Calvitt  Clarke,  the  founder  and  director  of 
Christian  Children's  Fund,  Inc.'s  international  organization, 
visited  Japan  in  the  summer  of  this  year.  The  result  of 
this  trip  was  a  decision  by  Dr.  Clarke  to  expand  C.  C. 
F.'s  work  by  another  400  adoptions.  Thus  a  total  of  39 
Homes  and  2,500  children  will  receive  C.  C.  F.  help  during 
1953. 

Mrs.  Clarke,  who  shares  with  her  husband  the  task 
of  making  the  all-important  appeals  from  the  main  offices 
in  Richmond,  Va.,  accompanied  Dr.  Clarke,  Rev.  V.  J.  R. 
Mills,  Overseas  Director,  Mr.  Lloyd  Graham  of  the  Japan 
committee,  and  Mr.  Seiji  Giga  on  the  5-day  trip.  All 
Homes  in  Tokyo  were  visited  as  were  those  in  the  Osaka- 
Kyoto  area  and  the  //  Ai  En  and  //  Ai  Mura  model  C. 
C.  F.  Homes  near  Kumamoto,  Kyushu. 

Highlights  of  the  year  included  the  recognition  Chris 
tian  Children's  Fund,  Inc.,  received  as  a  qualified  juridical 
person  (shakai  fukushi  hojin)  under  the  Social  Welfare 
Act  of  the  Japanese  government.  Also  financial  reports 
sent  from  each  of  the  Homes  affiliated  with  C.  C.  F. 
showed  that  Christian  Children's  Fund,  Inc.,  is  helping 
the  affiliated  orphanages  more  than  any  agency  except 
the  government  itself.  Nearly  15  per  cent  of  the  total 
financial  aid  received  by  these  homes  during  1952  came 
from  C.  C.  F.  This  exceeded  aid  from  the  Community 
Chest  and  other  organizations. 

In  November  four  leading  government  social  welfare 


134  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

officials  met  with  members  of  the  Japan  C.  C.  F.  com 
mittee  and  Mr.  Mills.  They  were  Mr.  Masami  Takada, 
Chief  of  the  Child  Welfare  Bureau  of  the  Social  Welfare 
Bureau  of  the  Welfare  Ministry ;  Mr.  Kan  Tsuruta, 
Chief  of  the  Social  Welfare  Institution  Section  ;  Mr.  Yasuo 
Tsujimura  of  the  Child  Welfare  Section,  and  Mr.  Teiji 
Watanabe  of  the  Social  Institution  Section.  The  officials 
again  expressed  their  thanks  for  LARA's  aid  to  orphanages 
and  offered  their  appreciation  for  C.  C.  F.'s  aid  with  the 
hope  that  this  would  be  a  continuing  project.  Mr.  Takada 
stated  that  C.  C.  F.  seemed  to  be  taking  up  where  LARA 
left  off  in  1952  and  that  C.  C.  F.  was  now  the  largest 
single  private  welfare  agency  serving  Japan. 

The  second  annual  C.  C.  F.  superintendents'  con 
ference  was  held  Nov.  18  and  19  at  Yugawara.  Representa 
tives  from  all  Homes  attended  to  seek  answers  to  common 
problems  and  to  share  successful  methods.  The  govern 
ment  sent  one  of  its  child  welfare  experts.  The  Overseas 
Director,  Mr.  Mills,  just  returned  from  a  3-week  tour  of 
C.  C.  F.  Homes  in  Korea,  gave  the  main  address  on  the 
subject  "  Practical  Methods  in  Institutions,"  a  subject  re 
quested  by  the  superintendents  and  committee  members. 
Also,  at  the  conference  plans  were  discussed  for  the 
Ernest  E.  Bott  Memorial  Home  to  be  constructed  some 
where  in  the  Tokyo  area  in  1953.  (C.  C.  F.,  at  the 
recommendation  of  D.  Clarke,  M.  Mills  and  the  Japan 
committee,  will  build  a  model  home  for  children  and  for 
the  training  of  social  welfare  workers.  The  Home  will  be 


CHRISTIAN  CHILDREN'S  FUND,  INC.  135 

dedicated  to  Dr.  Bott,  former  chairman  of  the  Japan  C.  C. 
F.  committee  and  director  of  LARA  who  passed  away  in 
1952.) 

The  chaplains  of  the  Far  East  Command  took  special 
interest  in  Christian  Children's  Fund,  Inc.,  during  1952. 
At  the  Ai  Rin  Dan  social  settlement  near  Ueno,  Tokyo, 
more  than  100  chaplains  from  all  branches  of  the  United 
States  Armed  Forces  were  briefed  at  their  own  request 
on  the  work  of  C.  C.  F.  They  were  also  shown  through 
the  Ai  Rin  Dan,  a  C.  C.  F.-affiliated  Home. 

Near  the  end  of  the  year  Chaplain  (Lt.  Col.)  Rutan, 
Deputy  Chief  Chaplain  of  the  U.  S.  Far  East  Air  Forces, 
announced  that  a  special  fund  was  being  raised  by  the 
Air  Force  for  Eurasian  babies.  The  fund  committee 
selected  Christian  Children's  Fund,  Inc.,  as  the  Protestant 
agency  to  receive  money  thus  raised.  The  Japan  com 
mittee  of  C.  C.  F.  agreed  to  distribute  the  funds  equitably 
to  all  Homes  caring  for  children  of  European-Asian 
descent. 

Collier 's  magazine  focused  considerable  attention  on 
the  work  of  Christian  Children's  Fund,  Inc.,  in  Japan 
in  an  article  on  occupation  babies.  In  referring  to  the 
problem  of  caring  for  children  of  mixed  blood,  Collier's 
presented  C.  C.  F.'s  plan  to  have  the  children  adopted 
into  American  homes.  This  resulted  in  a  flood  of  letters 
from  America  to  the  Richmond  and  Hong  Kong  offices 
requesting  legal  adoption.  By  year's  end,  however,  the 
legal  barriers  for  adoption  into  America  were  as  high 


136  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

as  ever.  C.  C.  F.  sought  to  help  in  the  interim,  or  as 
long  as  needed,  with  Eurasian  babies  in  its  Japan  Homes 
by  stepping  up  its  "  adoption-by-proxy  "  system. 

Eurasian  children,  though  stealing  the  publicity  spot 
light,  were  not  the  only  concern  of  Christian  Children's 
Fund,  Inc.,  in  Japan.  C.  C.  F.  continued  to  focus  its  atten 
tion  on  parentless  children,  whatever  their  race  or  back 
ground.  It  increased  its  efforts  to  build  men  and  women 
through  four-fold  development  by  giving  each  boy  and 
girl  a  sturdy  body,  an  informed  mind,  trained  hands  and, 
above  all,  a  Christian  character.  It  continued  to  build 
its  work  on  the  words  of  the  Lord  Jesus :  "  Forbid  them 
not,  for  of  such  is  the  Kingdom  of  Heaven." 


CHRISTIAN  LITERATURE 

by  Norimichi  Ebisawa 

Isaiah  said  "  Prepare  ye — a  highway  for  our  God". 
One  of  the  best  known  ways  to  prepare  the  highway  is 
by  evangelism  through  literature.  Literature  evangelism, 
planned  systematically  on  a  world-wide  scale,  started  at 
the  Madras  Conference.  "  The  Christian  Movement  must 
speak  through  the  writers  and  editors  of  books,  pamphlets 
and  periodicals  to  an  endless  circle  of  students  and  readers 
in  the  world's  many  and  varied  tongues.  God  grant  it 
may  come  to  pass,"  say  the  "  Findings "  of  the  Con 
ference. 

The  epoch-making  event  in  our  history  of  literature 
evangelism  was  the  visit  df  Dr.  Ralph  E.  Diffendorfer  who 
who  was  the  chairman  of  the  Overseas  Literature  Depart 
ment  of  the  International  Missionary  Council. 

In  the  spring  of  1949  a  national  convention  on  Chris 
tian  publications  was  held  under  the  auspices  of  the 
National  Christian  Council  at  Yumoto,  Hakone.  Dr. 
Diffendorfer  was  present  as  our  guest  and  advisor.  The 
Commission  on  Christian  Literature  was  set  up  in  the 
NCC  as  the  result  of  this  conference. 

There  were,  of  course,  many  Christian  publishers  who 
resumed  publication  after  the  war  but  almost  all  of  them 
were  very  very  short  of  both  funds  and  staff.  The  large 

137 


138  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

subsidy  which  came  from  abroad  under  the  so-called 
" Diffendorfer  plan"  stimulated  the  production  of  litera 
ture  and  helped  tide  Christian  publishers  across  this 
crisis. 

Our  Commission  edited  and  issued  30,000  copies  of 
"  100  Favorite  Hymns  "  and  much  other  literature,  rang 
ing  from  two  types  of  leaflets  printing  30,000  copies  each 
to  the  600  page  "  Religious  Liberty  "  by  Dr.  Searle  Bates 
which  was  translated  into  Japanese  by  Rev.  Akira  Ebisawa. 
Even  bigger  than  that,  in  fact  larger  than  any  book 
printed  by  the  secular  press,  was  a  revised  edition  of  the 
Complete  Bible  Dictionary  totalling  1,600  pages,  published 
by  the  Shinkyo  Shuppansha  with  the  help  of  a  subsidy 
from  our  Commission. 

It  was  unforgettably  good  fortune  for  us  to  have  Dr. 
Floyd  Shacklock  come  as  an  advisor  and  leader  for  our 
literature  work.  By  his  constant  encouragement  the  work 
of  our  Commission  grew  in  organization  and  procedure, 
and  in  1951  our  plans  began  to  bear  much  fruit.  The 
following  are  some  of  the  books  published  that  year: 

1.  Second  edition  of  "  100  Favorite  Hymns  " 

2.  Translation  of  "  The  Big  Fisherman  "  by  Douglas 

3.  Translation  of   "  The  King  Nobody   Wanted "   by 
Langford 

4.  Translation  of  "  His  Name  is  Jesus  "  by  Klein 

5.  First  volume  of   "  Children's   Prayers "   with   pic 
tures,  compiled  by  our  Children's  Literature   Com 
mittee. 


CHRISTIAN  LITERATURE  139 

We  have  been  cooperating  with  the  two  Christian 
magazines :  "  New  Age  ",  a  monthly  for  city  people,  and 
"  Noson  "  (Village) ,  a  monthly  for  rural  folk.  Both  of 
them  now  have  five  years  of  history  as  they  started 
immediately  after  the  war,  though  there  have  been  some 
changes  in  form  of  publication.  "  New  Age  ",  edited  since 
the  spring  of  1952  by  Mrs.  H.  Muraoka  (a  famous  Chris 
tian  writer),  is  winning  increasing  popularity.  It  has 
been  very  difficult  to  work  up  the  circulation  of  "  Noson  " 
among  the  rural  people.  But  from  the  April,  1953,  issue 
Dr.  T.  Kagawa  will  become  the  editor-in-chief  with  his 
fellow  rural  workers  to  help  him.  We  expect  that  a  new 
impetus  will  be  given  to  our  publication  for  the  rural 
areas  by  this  change  in  the  staff  of  the  "  Noson  "  editorial 
board. 

As  the  "  Diffendorfer  plan  "  was  for  two  years  begin 
ning  in  1950,  Dr.  Shaddock  suggested  that  we  nominate 
a  special  committee  to  make  a  three-year  plan  beginning 
in  1952.  We  called  this  the  "Shaddock  plan".  After 
the  plan  was  approved  by  the  sponsoring  committees, 
we  nominated  many  special  committees  to  activate  it  as 
follows : 

1)  The    Theology    and    Classics    Committee,   which 
is   to   edit   a   Classics  Series  of  15  volumes  and  12 
vols.  of  a  series  on  practical  Christianity. 

2)  The  Devotional  and  Evangelistic  Literature  Com 
mittee,    which    is   to   edit  12  vols.  of  a    "Christian 
Library  Series  ",  a  series  of  12  leaflets,  a  collection 


140  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

of  sermons,  and  stories  of   Japanese   Christian   ex 
perience. 

3)  The    Student    and    Youth    Committee,    which    is 
translating   some   of    the   Hazen   Book  Series  and 
editing  6  vols.  of  a  Christian  Youth  Library. 

4)  Children's  Literature  Committee,  which  is  editing 
4  vols.  of  children's  prayers  with   pictures,  12  vols. 
of   a   Children's   Library,  and  a  biographical  series 
of  12  volumes. 

5)  The  Kamishibai  Committee,  which  is  planning  to 
illustrate  6  sets  of  Jesus'  parables  for  kindergarten 
children,  6  sets  of  Old  Testament  stories  for  primary 
classes,  and  6  sets  of  famous  Christian  stories  for 
junior  classes. 

6)  Two  magazine  committees :  for  "  New  Age  "  and 
"  Noson  ". 

7)  A    Concordance    Committee,    organized   very   re 
cently,  which  is  going  to  edit   a   new   concordance 
for  the  new  translation  of  the  Japanese  Bible  upon 
which  the  Revision  Committee  of    the  Japan  Bible 
Society  is  now  working. 

Many  good  projects  have  been  discussed,  studied, 
and  proposed  by  the  various  committees.  When  approved 
by  the  Planning  and  Business  Committee  and  the  Board 
of  Directors,  the  Secretary  undertakes  to  arrange  for 
them  to  be  printed. 

Besides  the  committee  work,  we  helped  to  form  and 
advise  two  new  organizations.  One  is  the  Christian 


CHRISTIAN  LITERATURE  141 

Publishers  Association  which  was  organized  to  promote 
fellowship  among  them  and  to  stimulate  interest  in  evan 
gelistic  literature.  They  now  have  about  20  members. 
The  other  new  group  is  the  Christian  Writers  Associa 
tion  which  was  organized  to  discover  and  encourage  new 
writers  and  to  pool  knowledge  and  techniques  for  produc 
tion  of  better  Christian  literature.  They  have  about  30 
members.  At  their  monthly  meetings  one  or  two  of  the 
members  give  talks  on  their  special  field  of  writing. 

In  1952  we  cooperated  with  such  publishers  as  the 
Kyobunkwan,  the  Shinkyo  Shuppansha  and  others  to 
bring  out  the  following  books: 

1)  A  series  of  "  Lectures  on  Christianity  " — 10  pam 
phlets. 

2)  3rd    edition    of    "100  Favorite    Hymns  "—20,000 
copies. 

3)  "  Beginnings  of  Christianity  "  by  Craig — a  large 
volume  of  470  pages  in  A5  size— 1,000  copies. 

4)  "  The  Bible  "  by  Walter  Bowie— 3,000  copies. 

5)  "  The  Christian  Answer  "  by  Sweazy — 5,000  copies. 

6)  "  The    New  Bible  Dictionary  " — pocket  size,  700 
pages — 12,000  copies. 

7)  "  The  Valley  of  the  Shadow  "  by  Hans  Lilje— 2,000 
copies. 

8)  "Guiding  Children  in  Christian  Growth"  by  Mary 
A.  Jones, — 1,000  copies. 

9)  "  The  Resurrection  of  the  Dead  "  by  Karl  Barth 
—2,000  copies. 


142  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

10)  "The  Man   Christ  Jesus"  by  John  Knox— 1,000 
copies. 

11)  "  How  to  Read  the  Bible  "  by  B.  Sekine— 300  pages 
in  pocket  size— 7,000  copies. 

Under  original  writings  we  printed  six  new  leaflets 
for  distribution  evangelism,  the  titles  and  authors  of 
which  are  as  follows: 

1)  "What  is  the  Church?"  by  Mrs.  H.  Hasegawa 

2)  "The  Lord's  Prayer"  by  Rev.  M.  Uchizumi 

3)  "  What  is  God  ?  "  by  Rev.  S.  Nishida 

4)  "  The  Holy  Sabbath  "  by  Rev.  K.  Imai 

5)  "  What  is  Faith  ?  "  by  Prof.  A.  Tasaka 

6)  "  Power  to  Live  By  "  by  Rev.  S.  Watanabe 

We  printed  30,000  copies  of  each  of  these  pamphlets. 
The  price  is  Y150  per  100  copies. 

The  first  set  of  our  kamishibai  series  came  out  in 
December.  It  is  beautifully  written  and  clearly  printed. 
The  story  is  that  of  "The  Lost  Sheep",  and  is  adapted 
by  Miss  N.  Miyoshi.  A  small  pamphlet  of  quotations 
from  the  three  books  of  Dr.  Stanley  Jones  was  compiled 
and  40,000  copies  were  printed.  This  is  to  be  used  by 
the  regional  committee  of  the  Japan  evangelistic  cam 
paign  for  preliminary  publicity. 

There  are  three  commentary  series  in  process  at 
present.  All  of  them  are  non-profit  and  indeed  "sacrifi 
cial  "  publications.  One  is  a  series  of  commentaries  on 
the  Old  Testament  to  be  edited  by  the  Japan  Bible  Com 
mentary  Committee  and  published  by  the  Kyobunkwan. 


CHRISTIAN  LITERATURE  143 

The  third  volume,  Ezekiel,  by  Prof.  Yamazaki,  was  publish 
ed  in  A5  size,  600  pages,  in  September,  1952.  The  others 
are  on  the  New  Testament ;  the  first  one  is  edited  by  the 
Council  of  Cooperation  and  published  by  the  Kyobunkwan. 
Four  volumes  have  come  out  this  year :  1st  Corinthians, 
John,  1st  and  2nd  Thessalonians,  Timothy  and  Titus. 
The  second  project  is  edited  and  published  by  the  Shinkyo 
Shuppansha.  They  issued  three  volumes,  1st  Corinthians, 
Romans,  and  the  Synoptic  Gospels  in  1952. 

One  of  the  bigger  works  was  the  publication  of  the 
New  Testament,  newly  translated  into  colloquial  Japanese 
by  Dr.  Kagawa,  Rev.  Watase,  and  Mr.  Muto.  10,000 
copies  were  printed  for  the  first  edition  by  the  Christian 
Weekly  Press,  and  the  edition  was  sold  out  almost  im 
mediately.  The  second  edition  of  10,000  copies  is  already 
off  the  press. 

Publication  of  Christian  literature  has  made  steady  pro 
gress  month  by  month  and  year  by  year.  Even  the  secular 
firms  are  accepting  contracts  for  Christian  publications 
willingly.  We  all  look  forward  to  increasingly  good  publica 
tions  of  books  and  pamphlets  in  the  coming  years  through 
the  advice  and  cooperation  of  the  Literature  Commission 
of  the  NCC  of  Japan.  We  confidently  believe  that  our 
Lord  will  guide  us  also  in  this  field  of  literature  publica 
tion  for  the  evangelism  of  Japan. 

Some  of  the  better  and  more  important  publications 
of  1952  are  listed  here  for  missionary  reference.

PART  II 

ORGANS  OF  PROTESTANT 
COOPERATION 

THE  UNITED  CHURCH  OF  CHRIST 
IN  JAPAN  AND  ITS  RELATIONSHIPS 

by   Darley  Downs 

I  am  asked  to  give  briefly  a  clear  picture  of  the 
Kyodan  organization  and  structure  and  its  relationship  to 
the  cooperating  mission  boards  and  to  other  Christian 
organizations  in  Japan.  As  numerous  previous  articles  in 
the  Yearbook  have  indicated,  the  United  Church  of 
Christ  in  Japan,  commonly  called  the  Kyodan,  is  the 
result  of  the  union  of  over  30  separate  denominations 
effected  in  1940  and  1941.  It  is  impossible  for  anyone 
really  to  determine  how  much  this  union  was  a  result 
of  governmental  and  nationalistic  pressures  and  how 
much  a  result  of  the  original  desire  of  Christians  to  get 
together.  It  is  certainly  foolish  to  attribute  the  union 
exclusively  to  either.  The  best  evidence  of  the  basic 
vitality  of  the  union  is  the  fact  that  it  has  so  largely 
survived  the  complete  lifting  of  all  government  and 
nationalistic  pressures  for  union. 

The  Lutheran,  Anglican,  Nazarene,  and  Free  Methodist 
149 


150  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

churches  have  withdrawn.  A  little  over  one  quarter  of 
former  Presbyterian-Reformed  churches  have  withdrawn. 
Fewer  than  half  of  the  former  Baptist  churches  withdrew, 
although  the  subsequent  growth  makes  the  number  of 
such  churches  greater  than  the  number  of  former 
Baptist  churches  remaining  in  the  Kyodan.  A  number 
of  the  congregations  of  the  Evangelical  Alliance  churches 
have  withdrawn.  Possibly  10  or  15  percent  of  the 
former  Holiness  churches  withdrew  and  are  now 
existing  in  at  least  three  separate  denominations.  Never 
theless  probably  62  or  63  percent  of  the  total  Protestant 
church  membership  of  Japan  is  still  in  the  Kyodan. 

It  is  not  commonly  recognized  how  great  sacrifices 
have  been  made  by  the  uniting  churches  in  the  interest 
of  unity.  It  seems  to  be  thought  in  America  that  the 
chief  sacrifices  have  been  made  by  the  churches  having 
a  congregational  type  of  polity,  particularly  Congrega 
tional-Christian,  Baptist  and  Disciples.  Actually  the  great 
est  surrender  of  established  polity  was  on  the  part  of 
the  great  Methodist  and  Presbyterian-Reformed  groups. 
The  polity  of  the  Kyodan  is  far  closer  to  the  congrega 
tional  type  than  to  either  Methodist  or  Presbyterian- 
Reformed.  The  former  Methodists  cannot  be  blamed  for 
looking  back  on  the  efficiency  of  their  episcopal  system 
of  ministerial  placement  and  general  church  government 
with  a  good  deal  of  regret  as  they  see  how  slowly  and 
inefficiently  the  organization  of  the  Kyodan  functions  in 
these  fields. 


THE  UNITED  CHURCH  OF  CHRIST  IN  JAPAN         151 

The  Presbyterian-Reformed  group  has  made  substan 
tial  concessions  in  the  matter  of  polity  but  more  in  the 
matter  of  creed.  The  fact  that  the  Kyodan  officially 
states  that  it  confesses  and  celebrates  (kokuhaku  and 
sanbisuni)  the  Apostles'  Creed  is  far  less  satisfactory  to 
many  of  the  Presbyterian-Reformed  group  than  the  simple 
but  definite  creed  that  was  formerly  accepted  by  all  its 
ministers  and  church  members.  It  is  true  that  the  last 
General  Assembly  accepted  for  study  a  preamble  to  the 
Apostles'  Creed,  but  that  has  not  yet  been  adopted  by 
the  Kyodan. 

The  supreme  governing  body  of  the  Kyodan  is  its 
.General  Assembly  which  meets  biennially  and  is  composed 
of  equal  numbers  of  lay  and  ministerial  delegates  elected 
on  the  basis  of  membership  by  the  various  districts  of 
the  Church.  All  the  fundamental  actions  of  the  Church 
must  be  taken  by  the  General  Assembly.  There  is  a 
Central  Executive  Committee  consisting  of  25  members 
who  are  elected  by  open  ballot  at  the  General  Assembly, 
together  with  the  moderator,  vice-moderator  and  secretary. 
The  chairmen  of  the  various  districts  meet  with  the 
Central  Committee.  The  last  assembly  formally  provided 
for  the  election  of  two  missionaries  as  observers,  currently 
Dr.  Paul  Mayer  and  Miss  Alice  Cheney.  The  missionary 
secretaries  of  the  Council  of  Cooperation  and  the  Cooper 
ative  Evangelism  Committees  also  sit  as  observers.  This 
Central  Executive  Committee  elects  a  smaller  standing 
committee  composed  largely  of  members  with  residence 


152  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

in  the  Tokyo  area.  The  general  committee  meets  three 
times  a  year,  the  smaller  standing  committee  monthly  or 
more  often  as  needed. 

At  the  General  Assembly  two  years  ago,  fairly 
radical  revision  of  the  organizational  set-up  was  adopted. 
Its  basic  purpose  was  decentralization.  The  headquarters 
departments  were  abolished  and  their  functions  turned 
over  to  the  various  districts  whose  number  was  reduced 
from  18  to  13.  The  place  of  the  various  administrative 
departments  is  taken  by  a  number  of  special  committees, 
the  most  important  of  which  is  the  General  (or  coordina 
ting)  Evangelism  Committee  (Sogo  Dendo  lin).  It  sets 
up  the  general  plan  of  the  whole  church  for  evangelism 
and,  in  consultation  with  the  Council  of  Cooperation, 
exercises  general  supervision  over  the  use  of  domestic 
and  foreign  funds  for  evangelistic  work. 

Possibly  the  most  important  action  at  the  1952  General 
Assembly  was  the  organization  of  the  Home  Missions 
Society  (Naikoku  Dendo  lin  Kai) .  This  is  organized  within 
and  under  the  general  direction  of  the  General  Evangelism 
Committee.  It  consists  of  one  representative  from  each 
district  and  the  chairman  of  the  Kyodan  Finance  Com 
mittee  together  with  10  persons  elected  by  the  General 
Evangelism  Committee.  It  raises  funds  from  the  churches 
and  individual  believers  for  the  assistance  of  evangelistic 
work  in  churches  which  are  not  self-supporting.  The 
other  aspect  of  evangelism  which  is  embodied  in  the 
Cooperative  Evangelism  Committee  and  which  is  also 


THE  UNITED  CHURCH  OP  CHRIST  IN  JAPAN         153 

within  the  general  framework  of  the  General  Evangelism 
Committee  will  be  discussed  later. 

The  former  departments  of  women's  work,  youth 
work,  rural  evangelism,  and  finance  are  replaced  by 
special  committees  of  the  same  names.  These  committees 
are  no  longer  regarded  as  administrative  departments 
but  as  planning  agencies  which  send  their  proposals  and 
plans  to  the  districts  for  their  use.  However  the  Finance 
Committee  does  receive  funds  from  the  churches  and 
boards  and  transmits  them  to  districts  or  central  offices 
and  agencies. 

With  the  organization  of  the  Kyodan  in  1940  and 
1941,  the  American  mission  boards  began  to  consider  what 
the  effect  would  be  on  their  work  in  Japan  and  to  plan 
for  such  cooperation  with  the  united  church  as  might 
prove  possible.  Even  before  the  outbreak  of  the  war  13 
of  the  member  boards  of  the  former  Foreign  Missions 
Conference  had  agreed  to  a  policy  of  cooperation.  With 
the  outbreak  of  the  war,  there  were  many  former  Japan 
missionaries  and  board  secretaries  who  could  hardly 
conceive  of  the  possibility  of  resumption  of  missionary 
work  in  Japan  for  many  years.  Nevertheless,  the  FMC 
continued  to  call  occasional  meetings  of  the  representatives 
of  the  boards  working  in  Japan  who  had  agreed  to 
cooperate  and  certain  more  or  less  definite  plans  were 
made.  With  the  surrender  and  the  amazing  report  of  the 
four  representatives  of  the  American  churches  who  came 
to  Japan  in  the  fall  of  1945,  the  Japan  Committee  began 


154  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

vigorous  study  of  the  problem  of  cooperation  with  the 
church  in  Japan. 

A  committee  of  six  experienced  missionaries  was  sent 
to  Japan  early  in  1946.  They  were  specifically  instructed 
neither  to  give  the  impression  that  the  boards  were 
trying  to  preserve  the  union  or  to  dissolve  it.  They  were 
instructed  to  avoid  giving  any  impression  that  financial 
cooperation  and  cooperation  in  personnel  would  be  avail 
able  more  abundantly  to  separated  denominations  or  to 
a  united  church.  It  cannot  be  denied  that  each  of  the 
six  original  commissioners  personally  hoped  that  the 
union  would  survive,  but  it  certainly  cannot  be  rightfully 
asserted  that  they  sought  to  exert  any  pressure  to  that 
end. 

When  by  the  summer  of  1947  it  became  apparent 
that  most  of  the  churches  which  had  gone  into  the  union 
had  determined  to  remain  together,  nearly  all  boards 
which  were  cooperating  with  these  churches  decided  that 
a  general  cooperative  organization  should  be  effected  in 
the  United  States  and  Canada  to  relieve  the  Kyodan  of  the 
difficulty  and  confusion  of  dealing  with  so  many  separate 
boards  and  groups  of  missionaries. 

As  a  sequel  to  the  deputation  of  four  who  came  out 
immediately  after  the  surrender,  the  Foreign  Missions 
Conference  sent  out  a  deputation  consisting  of  three  official 
representatives  of  the  Presbyterian  Board,  three  of  the 
Methodist  Board,  one  from  the  Lutheran,  one  from  the 
Northern  Baptist  and  Mr.  Henry  G.  Bovenkerk,  later 


THE  UNITED  CHURCH  OF  CHRIST  IN  JAPAN        155 

secretary  of  the  Interboard  Committee  for  Christian  Work 
in  Japan,  who  acted  as  secretary  of  the  deputation.  The 
deputation  was  joined  in  Japan  by  missionaries  represen 
ting  the  American  Board  (Congregational-Christian),  the 
Disciples,  the  United  Church  of  Canada,  and  the  Episcopal 
churches.  Various  members  of  the  deputation  proceeded 
to  all  the  orincipal  centers  of  Japan  for  direct  observa 
tion  and  conference  with  local  Japanese  Christian  leaders ; 
then  for  a  solid  week  there  was  a  meeting  of  missionaries 
and  Japanese  Christian  leaders  which  for  inclusiveness 
of  representation  and  eminence  of  the  individuals  has 
hardly  been  equaled  in  Japanese  history.  Naturally  since 
there  were  representatives  of  bodies  which  had  already 
withdrawn  from  the  Kyodan,  discussions  were  not  re 
stricted  to  the  Kyodan,  and  the  first  impetus  for  the 
reorganization  of  the  National  Christian  Council  can  be 
said  to  have  come  from  this  meeting.  Nevertheless,  the 
presence  of  the  representatives  of  most  of  the  boards 
who  had  agreed  to  cooperate  with  the  Kyodan  was 
naturally  taken  advantage  of  for  a  meeting  with  Japanese 
leaders  of  the  Kyodan.  Here  the  preliminary  drafts  of 
an  organization  to  be  called  the  Interboard  Committee 
for  Christian  Work  in  Japan,  consisting  of  board  repre 
sentatives  with  a  central  office  in  New  York,  and  of  the 
Council  of  Cooperation  which  was  to  be  the  field  agency, 
were  presented.  There  were  many  who  felt  that  it  was 
unfortunate  that  the  draft  constitution  for  the  Council 
of  Cooperation  was  made  in  New  York  instead  of  being 


156  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

initially  drafted  in  Japan.  Nevertheless,  the  general  project 
was  favorably  received  and  the  Kyodan  appointed  a 
special  committee  to  study  and  revise  the  draft  constitu 
tion  of  the  Council  of  Cooperation.  A  number  of  impor 
tant  changes  were  made  in  the  New  York  draft  and  the 
whole  document  was  finally  adopted. 

Very  early  in  the  discussion  it  became  apparent  that 
if  the  boards  really  meant  to  take  these  documents 
seriously  and  refrain  from  the  re-establishment  of  in 
dependent  missions,  some  agency  had  to  be  set  up  to 
take  their  place.  Therefore  the  constitution  of  the 
Interboard  Missionary  Field  Committee  was  adopted. 
This  committee  consists  of  the  missionary  members 
of  the  Council  of  Cooperation  together  with  the  Field 
Treasurer,  and  its  functions  are  restricted  to  the  concern 
of  the  missionaries  aside  from  their  work,  principally 
housing,  health,  and  language  study.  The  Council  as 
originally  set  up  consisted  of  8  representatives  of  the 
Kyodan  elected  by  it,  with  its  moderator  as  an  additional 
member  and  ex-officio  chairman  of  the  Council;  eight 
representatives  of  the  National  Christian  Education  As 
sociation  selected  from  its  member  schools  related  to  the 
Kyodan ;  and  eight  missionaries  technically  elected  by  the 
Interboard  Committee,  but  commonly  agreed  to  be  one 
from  each  of  the  denominations  in  America  and  Canada 
cooperating  with  the  Kyodan,  namely,  American  Board 
of  Commissioners  for  Foreign  Missions,  Evangelical  and 
Reformed  Church,  Evangelical  United  Brethren  Church. 


THE  UNITED  CHURCH  OF  CHRIST  IN  JAPAN      is? 

Division  of  Foreign  Missions  of  the  Methodist  Church, 
Board  of  Foreign  Missions  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in 
the  U.S.A.,  Reformed  Church  in  America,  United  Church 
of  Canada,  and  United  Christian  Missionary  Society 
(Disciples) . 

The  Kyodan  and  the  National  Christian  Education 
Association  both  showed  their  complete  good  faith  and 
firm  determination  to  make  the  new  machinery  work  by 
selecting  as  eminent  a  group  of  men  as  could  be  found 
in  either  group  as  their  first  members  of  the  Council. 
The  first  meeting  of  the  Council  was  held  at  the  Rei- 
nanzaka  Church  on  February  11,  1948.  Mr.  Akira  Ebisawa 
and  the  writer  were  elected  as  executive  secretaries.  We 
were  early  confronted  with  problems  of  budget,  but  a 
whole  series  of  problems  of  organization  presented  them 
selves  also  so  that  within  the  first  2  years  10  full 
meetings  of  the  Council  had  been  held.  As  the  basic 
problems  came  nearer  to  solution  and  the  members  of 
the  executive  committee  grew  more  and  more  familiar 
with  the  whole  organization,  general  meetings  became 
less  frequent.  Nevertheless,  the  last  general  meeting  in 
April,  1953,  was  the  17th  and  the  last  meeting  of  the 
executive  committee,  March  6,  1953,  was  the  73rd. 

Whatever  else  may  be  said  about  this  experiment  it 
cannot  be  denied  that  it  has  brought  together  for  long 
and  patient  consideration  of  the  basic  problems  of  mis 
sionaries  and  the  church  the  most  eminent  group  of 
Japanese  leaders  so  meeting  in  the  history  of  the  Chris- 


158  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

tian  movement.  This  in  itself  is  a  great  achievement. 
It  must  be  admitted  that  in  the  early  days  the  Kyodan 
as  a  whole  had  only  a  vague  idea,  if  any,  of  the  organiza 
tion,  structure  and  functions  of  the  Council,  but  the 
General  Assembly  in  1950  gave  much  more  serious  atten 
tion  to  the  Council  than  ever  before,  and  the  amend 
ments  to  its  constitution  and  the  election  of  its  members 
constituted  principal  items  on  the  agenda  of  the  1952 
General  Assembly. 

It  must  be  admitted  that  there  has  been,  and  con 
tinues  to  be,  a  minority  of  the  ministers  and  an  even 
smaller  group  of  laymen  who  deplore  the  whole  program 
of  aid  from  America  either  in  personnel  or  in  money. 
However,  the  great  majority  of  ministers  and  laymen 
welcome  the  cooperation  and  increasingly  seem  to  approve 
the  agencies  which  have  been  set  up. 

One  of  the  first  and  most  seriously  considered  problems 
appeared  within  the  first  few  months.  That  is,  while  a 
central  organization  that  seems  to  be  capable  of  func 
tioning  with  efficiency  had  been  worked  out,  the  evan 
gelistic  missionaries  working  in  the  country  and  small 
cities  found  themselves  without  their  old  missions  to 
appeal  to  and  without  the  more  intimate  connection  with 
the  Japanese  church  historically  related  to  their  respective 
missions,  and  so  were  rather  frustrated  and  uncertain  as 
to  how  to  make  relationships  and  carry  on  their  work. 
The  Council,  with  other  specially  invited  Japanese  leaders, 
had  a  long  meeting  at  Yumoto,  Hakone,  in  the  summer  of 


THE  UNITED  CHURCH  OF  CHRIST  IN  JAPAN         159 

1948  specifically  to  consider  this  problem.  Some  advocated 
the  surrender  of  all  missionary  participation  in  the  ad 
ministration  of  the  work  of  the  Church  and  the  putting 
of  the  sums  available  for  missionaries'  work  completely 
into  the  hands  of  the  Church.  This  was  met  by  objections 
both  from  the  missionaries  and  from  many  of  the  Japanese 
leaders. 

The  need  for  local  planning  by  missionaries  and 
Japanese  was  apparent.  It  was  finally  proposed  that  a 
special  Cooperative  Evangelism  Committee  should  be  set 
up  with  representatives  from  the  Church  and  from  the 
Council  of  Cooperation  and  with  a  series  of  such  com 
mittees  in  the  various  districts  of  the  Church.  The  dis 
trict  committees  were  to  consist  of  five  or  more  Japanese 
and  three  missionaries.  The  work  and  budgets  of  the 
missionaries  in  each  district  are  given  original  considera 
tion  by  the  local  CEC  and  the  recommendations  as  to 
budgets  and  special  projects  go  from  the  local  CEC  to 
the  Council  through  the  central  CEC.  Up  to  the  last  year 
or  two,  the  number  of  evangelistic  missionaries  has  been 
so  small  as  to  make  it  practically  impossible  to  form  a 
CEC  in  some  districts  consisting  of  evangelistic  mis 
sionaries  living  in  that  district.  From  1953  that  will  no 
longer  be  true  of  any  of  the  13  districts  of  the  Kyodan. 

The  original  organization  of  the  Council  of  Coopera 
tion  provided  for  a  "  Church  Section "  and  a  "  School 
Section  ",  the  former  consisting  of  all  the  Kyodan  mem 
bers  with  four  representatives  of  NCEA  and  six  missionaries 


160  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

and  the  latter  of  the  eight  representatives  of  the  NCEA 
with  four  representatives  from  the  Kyodan  and  six  mis 
sionaries.  While  a  few  significant  meetings  were  held  by 
the  Church  Section,  with  the  development  of  the  Cooper 
ative  Evangelism  Committee  it  became  apparent  that  the 
CEC  was  largely  taking  over  the  functions  that  had  been 
assigned  to  the  Church  Section.  In  1950,  therefore,  the 
constitution  was  revised  and  the  two  sections  were  abo 
lished  and  their  places  taken  by  the  Cooperative  Evan 
gelism  Committee  and  the  Cooperative  Education  Com 
mittee.  The  number  of  missionaries  was  reduced  to  three 
in  each  case  and  the  total  number  of  members  was  some 
what  reduced.  At  the  same  time  the  General  Assembly 
of  1950  made  the  change,  already  referred  to,  providing 
for  greater  centralization  and  setting  up  the  General 
Evangelism  Committee.  The  chairman  of  the  General 
Evangelism  Committee  was  made  ex-officio  a  member  of 
the  ncetral  CEC. 

As  indicated  above,  with  the  organization  of  the  Home 
Missions  Society  the  problem  arose  of  its  relationship  to 
CEC  and  vice  versa.  The  Kyodan  authorities  insisted  that 
there  was  no  thought  of  setting  up  a  new  agency  as  the 
real  Kyodan  organ  for  evangelism.  They  provided  that 
both  the  CEC  and  the  Home  Missions  Society  should  be 
responsible  to  the  General  Evangelism  Committee  and 
they  increased  the  number  of  its  representatives  on  CEC 
from  just  the  chairman  to  the  chairman  and  two  others. 

The   Home   Missions   Society   is   hardly   beyond   the 


THE  UNITED  CHURCH  OF  CHRIST  IN  JAPAN         161 

organization  stage  and  funds  are  still  scarce  but  the 
motive  for  its  organization  seems  sound,  and  careful 
safeguards  have  been  set  up  to  prevent  a  cleavage  between 
it  and  COC-CEC.  Time  alone  will  tell  whether  the  Kyodan 
itself  will  survive  and,  if  so.  whether  the  agencies  for 
cooperation  with  western  mission  boards  will  resist  the 
inevitable  tensions  of  the  post-treaty  years,  but  there 
seem  to  be  ample  grounds  for  hope.  Success  will  require 
consecration,  Christian  forbearance  and  hard  work  both 
by  Japanese  and  missionaries,  but  if  these  are  lacking 
failure  is  pre-determined  and  deserved.

THE  NATIONAL  CHRISTIAN  COUNCIL 
OF  JAPAN 

by  Akira  Ebisawa 
General  Situation  and  Historical  Background 

The  National  Christian  Council  has  been  rising  up  to 
meet  the  rapidly  changing  situation  of  the  country  ever 
since  its  reorganization  in  1948.  Historically  speaking,  the 
Council  was  first  organized  in  1923  and  continued  to 
function  until  1941  when  the  union  of  34  Protestant  de 
nominations  was  consummated.  Naturally  the  Council  had 
to  be  disbanded  at  that  time.  However,  the  situation  was 
changed  after  the  close  of  the  war  when  again  it  seemed 
necessary  to  have  such  an  organ  for  the  purpose  of  coop 
eration  between  the  different  denominations  and  Christian 
bodies.  Thus  the  NCC  was  reorganized  with  five  national 
denominations  and  ten  national  Christian  organizations. 

Gradually  the  need  for  cooperative  enterprise  for 
the  common  interests  of  Protestants  came  to  be  felt 
keenly  in  order  to  meet  the  challenge  of  the  day,  and 
increasingly  the  common  tasks  have  been  committed  to 
the  Council  so  that  it  is  now  a  "  going  concern  "  discharg 
ing  duties  and  responsibilities  both  in  relation  to  con- 
stituejicies  and  to  international  Christian  organizations. 
The  year  1952  was  especially  significant  in  the  work  of 
the  Council  as  it  was.  a  time  of  special  opportunity  in 

165 


166  THE  CHRITIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

the  history  of  our  national  life. 
Activities  Relative  to  the  Ecumenical  Movement 

As  the  nation  embarked  upon  a  course  of  indepen 
dence,  now  that  the  Peace  Treaty  became  effective  and 
the  period  of  six  years  of  occupation  ended  on  April  24, 
1952,  the  National  Christian  Council  issued  a  statement 
of  a  "  Message  of  Gratitude  and  Goodwill "  which  it  sent 
to  Christian  organizations  of  various  countries. 

The  national  sentiment  of  the  general  public  inevitably 
changed  at  this  period,  making  it  very  difficult  for  our 
churches  to  meet  the  situation;  the  uprising  of  reac 
tionary  nationalism  in  both  left  and  right  wings  directly 
began  to  affect  the  Christian  movement  in  its  relationship 
to  all  sorts  of  internationl  problems. 

In  order  for  the  Council  to  make  clear  the  Christian 
viewpoint,  its  Commission  on  International  Affairs  which 
is  comprised  of  prominent  Christian  statesmen,  business 
men,  diplomats  and  clergymen,  made  an  intensive  study 
and  issued  a  statement  which  was  adopted  by  the  Fifth 
General  Meeting  in  March,  1952,  and  sent  to  the  NCC's 
of  different  countries  requesting  their  cooperation  in  the 
problem  of  international  peace. 

International  cooperation  was  greatly  developed  dur 
ing  the  year  not  only  with  the  churches  of  western 
Christendom  but  also  with  the  Asian  Christian  churches. 

Dr.  Rajah  B.  Manikam,  Joint  Secretary  to  the  WCC 
and  the  IMC,  visited  us  in  the  early  spring  and  opened 


THE  NATIONAL  CHRISTIAN  COUNCIL  OF  JAPAN    167 

the  way  for  a  closer  cooperation  in  the  ecumenical 
movement.  The  Council  was  able  to  send  three  delegates 
to  the  Willingen  Conference  of  the  IMC  in  Germany  that 
summer.  By  request  and  suggestion  of  Dr.  Manikam  the 
Council  made  an  extensive  research  on  the  ecumenical  study 
and  submitted  the  reports  to  the  Lucknow  Study  Conference. 
In  December  three  delegates  attended  that  Conference. 
Our  youth  delegation  of  eleven  also  attended  the  World 
Youth  Conference  at  Travancore,  India,  in  December. 

Observance  of  special  days  also  helped  to  promote 
the  international  consciousness  of  our  Christians.  The 
World  Day  of  Prayer  was  observed  on  February  29,  as  in 
previous  years,  throughout  the  country  under  the  ausuices 
of  the  Women's  Commission. 

The  World  Communion  Sunday  was  observed  as  an  in 
ter-church  communion  day  on  the  first  Sunday  of  October. 

All  these  efforts  of  international  cooperation  brought 
home  some  new  knowledge  and  experience  among  our 
churches  in  general. 

Report  on  the  Fundamental  Policies  for  Evangelism 

The  Special  Commission  on  Study  of  the  Strategic 
Policies  on  Evangelism  in  Japan  has  made  an  extensive 
survey  and  an  intensive  study  of  that  problem,  and  after 
two  years  efforts,  the  report  on  the  "  Fundamental 
Policies  for  Evangelism "  was  submitted  to  the  Fifth 
General  Meeting.  (We  regret  that  the  whole  report  cannot 
be  put  into  English  except  in  its  summarized  form). 


168  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

The  Commission  on  Visitation  Evangelism  has  continu 
ed  both  the  study  and  the  practice  of  visitation  evangel 
ism  for  the  last  two  years.  It  has  promoted  a  movement  of 
this  kind  of  evangelism  among  ministers  and  lay  leaders. 

The  Commission  on  Family  Life  Movement  is  continu 
ing  its  activities  to  create  and  encourage  the  Christian 
family  life  consciousness  in  order  to  meet  the  urgent 
needs  of  the  day  when  the  foundation  of  our  traditional 
family  system  is  undergoing  a  radical  change. 

The  Commission  on  the  Deaconess  Movement 

Dr.  Paul  Mo'ller  of  the  German  Missionary  Conference 
is  staying  among  us  to  study  and  confer  with  our  leaders 
as  to  how  to  launch  that  movement  in  cooperation  with 
the  German  churches.  Sisters  under  different  sponsors 
are  already  in  this  country,  and  two  others  are  on  their 
way  to  Japan.  The  Commission  is  now  studying  how  to 
organize  this  movement  together  with  two  woman  doctors 
just  returned  from  their  study  in  Switzerland  and  Germany. 

The  Commission  on  Social  Problem 

This  Commission  has  expressed  the  opinion  of  the 
NCC  on  vital  issues  and  has  given  its  attention  chiefly 
to  the  problems  of  clemency  for  war  criminals  and 
Eurasian  children.  It  has  issued  a  statement  requesting 
cooperation  from  American  churches  on  the  one  hand 
and  has  also  tried  to  establish  certain  facilities  for  solving 
these  very  difficult  problems. 


THE  NATIONAL  CHRISTIAN  COUNCIL  OF  JAPAN     169 

New  Organizational  Set-up 

Hitherto  NCC  was  considered  as  a  mere  liaison  agency 
for  council,  but  as  the  situation  changed  to  call  for  com 
mon  activities  in  the  interests  of  the  whole  Christian 
community,  two  working  departments  were  newly  started 
for  activities  in  Christian  literature  and  audio-visual  aid. 
Each  department  has  its  own  board  of  directors  with 
representatives  of  the  constituencies  to  enlist  the  coopera 
tion  of  the  denominations  and  missions.  The  constitution 
was  revised  with  the  addition  of  a  provision  for  receiving 
associate  members  for  the  purpose  of  cooperation  with 
new  missions  and  churches  on  the  field. 
Prospectus  for  the  Centenary  Movement 

The  one  hundredth  year  of  the  opening  of  the  Pro 
testant  missions  in  Japan  will  come  in  1959,  and  a  proposed 
plan  to  commemorate  the  Centenary  was  adopted  at  the 
General  Meeting  in  March.  The  Commission  on  Prepara 
tions  drafted  the  prospectus,  dividing  the  plan  into  three 
sections : 

1.  Nationwide  evangelistic  campaign. 

2.  Work   for   commemoration,   such   as    compilation 
and  publication  of  Christian  history. 

3.  Christian  work  to  reach  the  nation  through  eco 
nomic  and  social  life. 

The  program  is  to  mobilize  all  the  Christian  forces 
in  this  united  movement,  inviting  cooperation  of  all  the 
denominations  and  missions  having  work  in  Japan. 


JAPAN  COUNCIL  OF  CHRISTIAN 
EDUCATION 

by  Jonathan  M.  Fujila 

There  is  still  a  need  for  full  realization  and  under 
standing  of  Christian  education  throughout  local  churches. 
At  times  churches  think  that  evangelism  and  Christian 
education  are  two  different  matters.  However,  they  do 
not  put  much  emphasis  upon  school  operation  and 
responsibility  for  it.  We  are  at  the  stage  of  introducing 
its  importance  into  the  churches  of  Japan.  This  means 
that  the  JCCE  must  let  all  Japanese  know  the  place  of 
the  church  school  activities  and  their  importance  in  the 
Japanese  Church  and  her  future. 

On  the  2nd,  3rd  and  4th  of  May,  1952,  the  fourth 
General  Conference  and  Convention  was  held  in  Nagoya 
at  Kinjo  University.  The  theme  for  this  meeting  was 
"  The  Church  School — where  future  Churchmen  start." 
There  were  402  delegates  and  380  observers  from  9  different 
denominations  from  all  over  Japan.  The  group  was 
divided  into  6  different  study  groups  as  follows: 

1.  How  to  train  churchmen   through   church   school 
activities. 

2.  How  to  create  better  relations  between  the  church 
school  and  homes. 

3.  The  future  church  of  Japan  and   present   church 

170

school  curriculum. 

4.  The   mission   of   the    church    school   in  the  com 
munity. 

5.  The  place  of  audio-visual  aids   in   church    school 
education. 

6.  The  Bible  and  church  school  teachers. 

The  highlight  of  this  convention  was  the  children's 
meeting  which  was  held  in  the  midst  of  rain.  A  total 
of  2,800  children  gathered. 

In  the  summer,  the  usual  Church  School  Teachers' 
Training  Conference  was  held  near  Karuizawa  with  attend 
ance  from  8  denominations,  representing  7  nationalities 
besides  the  Japanese.  The  discussion  leaders,  main  lecturers 
and  other  speakers  totaled  22  for  the  group  of  482 
local  church  school  teachers  from  all  over  Japan.  Some 
came  from  Korea,  Okinawa  and  Formosa.  Among  the 
leaders  were  Americans,  British  and  Germans  besides 
Japanese. 

The  theme  was  "  The  Place  of  the  Bible  in  the  Church 
School."  The  training  period  was  divided  into  two  dif 
ferent  groups  and  was  held  for  two  nights  and  three 
days. 

Christian  Education  Week  was  widely  advertized  as 
it  was  last  year  and  was  observed  on  a  large  scale  from 
September  21st  to  the  28th.  The  motto  was  "  Christ  for 
the  Home."  We  used  radio,  newspapers  and  an  outdoor 
rally.  "A  Letter  to  Mother"  written  by  Rev.  Seishiro 
Iwamura  was  sent  to  parents.  More  than  18,000  copies 


172  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

were  distributed.  It  was  written  in  everyday  language 
so  that  non-Christian  mothers  could  read  the  message 
without  difficulty. 

Three  reasons  for  changing  the  status  of  JCCE  in 
the  near  future  are  as  follows: 

1.  Standpoint  of  ecumenical  spirit  and  practice. 

2.  Wider  and  better  services  throughout  Japan  with 
the  moral  support  of  various  denominations. 

3.  Stabilization  of  financial  problems. 

The  JCCE  took  final  steps  to  be  merged  into  the 
NCC  effective  April,  1953.  JCCE  will  not  be  an  organization 
by  itself,  but  will  supply  vital  strength  to  NCC. 

As  of  December,  1952,  JCCE  was  related  to  2,516 
church  schools  in  which  there  were  12,790  teachers  and 
241,932  pupils. 

Publications  of  JCCE : 

1.  An    outline    and   writer's   manual   on    new    cur 
riculum    in   two  volumes ;  completed  at  the  end  of 
December,  1952,  by  JCCE,  and  presently  being  used 
by  the  Kyodan  and  the  Japan  Lutheran  Church  for 
their  church  school  materials. 

2.  Teachers'  materials  based  upon  Picture-set — four 
different  types  of  Sunday  School  teachers'  mater 
ials  on  the  Old  Testament  and  the  New  Testament. 
The  Picture-sets  came  from  the  United    States. 
Also  one  booklet  issued  for  pupils'  use  (jr.  high) .

PART  III 
REPORTS  FROM  ORGANIZATIONS 

THE  UNITED  CHURCH  OF  CHRIST 

IN  JAPAN 

% 
(Nihon  Kirisuto  Kyodan) 

by  Michio  Kozaki 

The  most  significant  event  in  1952  for  the  Kyodan 
was  the  resolution  passed  by  the  7th  General  Assembly 
in  which  it  was  decided  to  organize  a  Home  Missions 
Society  which  would  function  along  with  the  Cooperative 
Evangelism  Committee.  The  General  Evangelism  Com 
mittee,  headed  by  Rev.  Mitsuru  Tomita,  former  lorisha 
(war-time  head  of  the  Kyodan)  and  former  moderator  of 
the  Nihon  Kirisuto  Kyokai  (Presbyterian-Reformed  group) , 
has  been  considering  ways  to  stimulate  the  spirit  of 
independence  and  self-support  among  members  of  the 
Kyodan  churches. 

During  the  past  seven  years  since  the  end  of  the 
war  we  have  been  greatly  blessed  by  the  cooperative 
funds  from  the  IBC  and  other  mission  boards  which  are 
working  with  the  Kyodan  churches.  For  instance,  244 
new  buildings  have  been  reconstructed  through  this 

174 


THE  UNITED  CHURCH  OF  CHRIST  IN  JAPAN         175 

cooperation  for  the  benefit  of  about  500  churches  which 
were  destroyed.  Generally  speaking  about  two-thirds  of 
this  expense,  or  200  million  yen,  was  provided  through 
these  cooperative  funds,  and  one-third  was  raised  by  the 
local  churches.  In  addition,  these  funds  provided  relief 
for  suffering  ministers  and  scholarship  help  for  their  chil 
dren. 

It  is  essential  for  the  vitality  of  Christians  and 
churches  that  they  do  as  much  as  possible  toward  their 
own  support  before  accepting  outside  assistance.  There 
fore,  to  strengthen  the  Kyodan  churches  it  is  necessary 
to  train  church  members  in  the  principle  of  self-sacrifice. 
The  Home  Missions  Society  will  be  supported  by  Kyodan 
members.  The  budget  this  year  is  set  at  5,300,000  yen, 
of  which  one  million  yen  will  be  offered  on  Pentecost 
Sunday  from  all  over  Japan.  The  Women's  Committee 
of  the  General  Evangelism  Committee  has  also  decided 
to  raise  one  million  yen  towards  this  fund  from  among 
church  women.  The  Home  Missions  Society  intends  this 
year  to  begin  seven  projects  with  this  fund  to  help  weak 
churches  to  open  new  stations,  and  to  start  new  experi 
ments  in  professional  fields.  This  is  a  definite  advance 
for  the  Kyodan,  for  it  is  doing  what  it  should  to  take 
its  share  of  responsibility.  If  it  is  successful,  it  will  be 
possible  to  cooperate  more  wholeheartedly  with  fellow 
missionary  colleagues. 

This  is  one  of  the  most  important  problems  for  the 
Kyodan  because  there  are  two  extreme  ways  of  thinking 


176  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

within  the  churches:  one  which  is  entirely  dependent 
upon  missionaries  and  foreign  funds,  and  another  which 
wants  to  be  entirely  independent  of  foreign  support  and 
which  is  too  nationalistic.  The  creation  of  the  Home 
Missions  Society,  therefore,  will  mark  an  advance  both 
in  assuming  responsibility  for  self-support  and  in  achiev 
ing  a  more  perfect  fellowship  with  missionaries. 

In  Japan  the  Christians  are  still  a  very  small  minority 
with  only  93  years  of  Protestant  work,  and  it  is  important 
to  be  recognized  by  the  non-Christian  Japanese  as  respect 
able  peoole,  not  only  morally  but  mentally.  The  historical 
experience  of  the  church  is  that  unless  strong  well- 
organised  churches  and  church  life  are  established  the 
whole  nation  will  never  be  converted  nor  will  the  high 
purpose,  "  Thy  Kingdom  come  on  earth",  be  achieved. 

The  Kyodan  is  advancing  steadily.  Last  year  11,985 
baptisms  and  an  increase  of  10  churches  (bringing  the 
total  number  of  churches  to  1461)  were  reported. 


THE  INTERBOARD  COMMITTEE  FOR 
CHRISTIAN  WORK  IN  JAPAN 

by  John  C.  deMaagd 

The  Interboard  Committee  for  Christian  Work  in 
Japan  is  composed  of  representatives  of  the  ten  mission 
boards  whose  work  in  Japan  is  done  in  cooperation 
with  the  United  Church  of  Christ  in  Japan.  These  boards 
represent  the  following  denominations :  Congregational 
Disciples,  Evangelical  and  Reformed,  Evangelical  United 
Brethren,  Methodist  (2  boards),  Presbyterian  U.  S.  A., 
Reformed  Church  in  America,  and  the  United  Church  of 
Canada  (2  boards).  The  Interboard  Committee  meets 
monthly  in  New  York  to  coordinate  and  plan  the  American 
end  of  the  program.  They  maintain  an  office  at  156 
Fifth  Avenue  where  Rev.  Henry  Bovenkerk  was  the 
Secretary  in  1952. 

In  Japan  the  coordinating  committee  is  the  Council 
of  Cooperation,  originally  composed  of  eight  representa 
tives  of  the  Church  of  Christ  in  Japan  (Kyodan),  eight 
representatives  of  the  Japan  Christian  Education  Associa 
tion,  and  a  missionary  representative  of  each  support 
ing  denomination.  A  revision  in  the  composition  of 
this  Council,  made  to  include  the  League  of  Christian 
Social  Workers  as  the  fourth  cooperating  body,  was  finally 
approved  at  the  General  Assembly  of  the  United  Church 

177 


178  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

in  October  of  1952  and  the  Council  as  now  constituted 
includes : 

10  members  elected  by  the  Church  of  Christ  in  Japan, 
8  members  elected   by   the  Japan  Christian  Educa 
tion  Association, 

6  members    elected    by    the    League    of    Christian 
Social  Workers,  and 

10  missionaries,   each   representing   one    of    the    ten 

supporting  boards. 

These  10  are  elected  by  the  Interboard  Committee  from  a 
double  number  of  nominees  chosen  by  ballot  of  the  mis 
sionaries  of  the  respective  denominations  on  the  field. 

The  Moderator  of  the  Church  of  Christ  in  Japan 
is  ex-officio  Chairman  of  the  Council.  The  Japanese 
Secretary,  Rev.  Masaharu  Tadokoro,  and  the  English 
Secretary,  Rev.  Darley  Downs,  are  non-voting  members. 

Much  of  the  Council's  work  is  done  through  its 
appointed  sub-committees.  But  the  Council  is  the  final 
authority  on  the  assignment  and  location  of  missionaries, 
the  use  and  allocation  of  the  budget,  projected  plans  for 
new  work,  and  the  estimates  presented  to  the  boards  for 
the  next  year's  budget. 

1952  marked  the  end  of  postwar  reconstruction  for 
the  IBC,  and  an  increased  emphasis  on  new  work  and 
plans.  The  Church  Reconstruction  Committee  was  dis 
banded  after  submitting  its  report  of  242  churches  rebuilt 
with  the  $625,000  entrusted  to  it  by  IBC  for  this  purpose, 
augmented  by  funds  which  rt  ach  local  group  had  raised 


THE  IBC  COMMITTEE  FOR  CHRISTIAN  WORK        179 

for  its  own  building,  amounting  to  ¥45,048,000  ($125,584) . 

The  School  Reconstruction  Committee  reported  hav 
ing  checked  plans  and  contracts  for  buildings  on  29 
campuses,  toward  which  the  IBC  had  contributed  over 
$2,000,000,  and  local  communities  an  impressive  additional 
amount.  The  Committee  was  dismissed  with  sincere 
thanks  to  Mr.  Kenneth  Dowie,  the  architect  who  had 
worked  3  years  on  this  project. 

The  women's  dormitory  at  the  Union  Theological 
Seminary  was  completed  in  October,  the  last  of  the 
Seminary  buildings  toward  which  the  IBC  contributed  a 
total  of  $144,600.  The  Seminary  now  enrolls  241  students. 

In  addition  to  regular  evangelistic  work  of  the  local 
Cooperative  Evangelism  Committees  carried  on  through 
stated  United  Church  committees,  in  each  of  the  thirteen 
districts  one  pioneer  evangelistic  project  was  started  with 
a  budget  of  ¥200,000  for  the  year  as  experiments  in 
intensive  evangelism. 

Every  year  the  Council's  Scholarship  Committee 
selects  candidates  for  graduate  study  scholarships  in 
America  financed  by  IBC  funds.  Sixteen  more  teachers, 
pastors,  and  social  workers  received  scholarships  in 
1952,  bringing  the  number  now  there  under  IBC  aus 
pices  to  36.  63  who  were  sent  to  the  States  for  one  year 
or  more  of  graduate  study  since  the  war  have  already 
returned  to  resume  their  work  in  Japan  with  increased 
vision  and  ability.  The  high  schools  and  colleges,  toward 
which  the  IBC  contributes  funds  and  232  missionary 


180  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

teachers,  have  an  enrollment  of  over  69,909  students. 
Concern  expressed  by  the  Council  lest  the  schools  drift 
away  from  the  churches  resulted  in  some  schools  re 
questing  official  church  representation  on  their  boards 
of  directors. 

During  the  year  monthly  tuition  high  school  schol 
arships  were  given  to  3,372  pastors'  children  attending 
junior  and  senior  high  schools.  Some  $21,000  was  given  to 
pastors  in  more  direct  relief  administered  by  the  United 
Church's  Committee  on  Personnel. 

In  1952  the  IBC  sent  out  72  missionaries,  bringing  the 
number  now  in  Japan  to  354.  All  permanent  appointees 
must  study  language  until  they  have  passed  their  second 
year  examinations,  after  which  they  are  assigned  by  the 
Council  to  fill  the  positions  for  which  missionaries  have 
been  requested  by  schools  or  by  the  church  districts 
(kyoku).  These  requests  always  far  out-number  the 
available  personnel 


ANGLICAN  EPISCOPAL  CHURCH 

(The  Nippon  Sei  Ko  Kwai) 

by  Raymond  J.  Hammer 

The  Nippon  Sei  Ko  Kwai  (literally  "  Japan  Holy 
Catholic  Church",  but  commonly  referred  to  as  the 
"  Japanese  Episcopal  Church  "  or  the  "  Anglican  Church 
in  Japan")  is  already  within  sight  of  the  first  centenary 
of  the  arrival  of  its  first  missionary,  Bishop  Williams  of 
the  American  Protestant  Episcopal  Church,  who  arrived  in 
Japan  in  1859,  at  a  time  when  Christianity  was  still  a  pro 
scribed  religion.  Bishop  Williams  was  not  only  the  first 
missionary  of  the  Episcopal  Church  to  arrive  in  Japan, 
but  was  also  the  first  Protestant  missionary  to  enter  the 
country.  Ten  years  later  Church  of  England  missionaries 
of  the  Church  Missionary  Society  arrived,  and  they  were 
followed  in  1873  by  missionaries  of  a  sister  society  in 
the  Church  of  England,  the  Society  for  the  Propagation 
of  the  Gospel.  For  a  time,  the  American  and  English 
work  were  not  correlated,  both  lots  of  missionaries  being 
subject  to  their  own  bishop,  but  the  efforts  of  Bishop 
Bickersteth,  the  English  bishop  at  the  time,  led  to  the 
integration  of  missionary  work  and  the  uniting  of  the 
Japanese  congregations  established  by  both  the  American 
and  English  missionaries  into  the  Nippon  Sei  Ko  Kwai  in 
1887.  The  name  of  the  Church  was  taken  from  the 
declaration  in  the  Apostles'  Creed :  "  I  believe  ...  in  the 

181 


182  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

Holy  Catholic  Church."  The  life,  teaching,  worship  and 
ministry  of  the  Church  were  patterned  after  that  of 
other  Churches  of  the  Anglican  Communion  throughout 
the  world. 

After  the  formation  of  the  Missionary  Society  of  the 
Church  of  England  in  Canada,  the  Canadian  Church  with 
the  Churches  in  England  and  America  became  one  of 
the  Mother  Churches  of  the  Nippon  Sei  Ko  Kwai,  and 
for  over  thirty  years  before  the  war,  apart  from  the 
larger  cities  where  both  American  and  English  mis 
sionaries  were  working,  the  country  was  split  up  into 
spheres  of  missionary  activity  and  responsibility.  But 
despite  the  division  into  spheres,  the  societies  engaged 
constantly  looked  forward  to  a  time  of  greater  unity  and 
the  ultimate  leadership  of  the  Nippon  Sei  Ko  Kwai  by 
Japanese  nationals.  A  symbol  of  the  growing  unity  was 
the  establishment  of  the  Central  Theological  College 
more  than  forty  years  ago,  which  replaced  three  separate 
colleges,  formerly  under  the  direction  of  the  Protestant 
Episcopal  Mission,  the  Church  Missionary  Society  and 
the  Society  for  the  Propagation  of  the  Gospel.  The 
three  bodies  subsequently  (and  to  the  present  day)  had 
representatives  on  the  faculty  of  the  Central  College, 
where  Japanese  are  trained  for  the  ministry  of  the 
Church.  (The  College  has  this  year  moved  to  new  pre 
mises  in  Setagaya-ku,  its  second  move  since  its  former 
buildings  at  Ikebukuro  were  destroyed  during  the  war. 
The  College  is  post-graduate,  and  a  variety  of  universities 


ANGLICAN  EPISCOPAL  CHURCH  183 

are  represented  amongst  the  students.) 

All  the  missions  cooperating  in  the  growth  of  the 
Church  were  responsible  for  numerous  institutions.  The 
American  Mission  was  responsible  for  the  founding  of 
St.  Luke's  Hospital,  Tokyo  (whose  main  building  is  still 
in  the  hands  of  the  American  Army).  Even  in  the  war 
years  it  was  able  to  function  as  a  private  Christian 
hospital,  and  the  cross  upon  its  tower  proclaimed  the 
healing  ministry  of  the  Gospel.  Numerous  educational 
institutions— St.  Paul's  University,  Tokyo,  St.  Margaret's 
School,  Tokyo,  St.  Agnes'  School,  Kyoto,  etc. — were  also 
founded  by  the  American  Mission.  The  Church  Missionary 
Society  was  responsible  for  the  founding  of  educational 
institutions  in  Osaka  (Momoyama  and  Poole),  and  the 
S.  P.  G.  in  Kobe  (Shoin)  and  Tokyo  (St.  Hilda's).  The 
Canadian  Missionary  Society  was  responsible  for  the 
founding  of  a  Sanatorium  at  Obuse  in  Nagano  Ken  and 
a  Kindergarten  Teachers'  Training  School  at  Nagoya. 
All  were  responsible  for  numerous  smaller  ventures,  too, 
of  educational,  medical  and  social  significance. 

The  move  towards  independence  in  the  Sei  Ko 
Kwai  was  first  seen  when  in  1923  Tokyo  and  Osaka 
dioceses  were  formed  with  Japanese  nationals  as  their 
bishops.  The  next  step  came  in  1940,  when  all  the  foreign 
bishops  resigned  and  the  Nippon  Sei  Ko  Kwai  ceased  to 
be  a  Missionary  Church  of  the  three  Mother  Churches, 
and  became  a  fully  independent  Province  of  the  Anglican 
Communion,  with  all  its  diocesan  bishops  Japanese.  This 


184 

means,  too,  that  all  former  missionary  property  and  in 
stitutions  were  handed  over  to  the  ownership  of  the  Japa 
nese  Church. 

In  the  postwar  scene,  missionaries  from  the  former 
Mother  Churches  (and,  in  addition,  representatives  from 
the  Church  of  England  in  Australia  and  New  Zealand) 
have  been  working  alongside  the  Japanese  clergy  and 
workers  in  the  advance  of  the  Church  and  in  the  various 
institutions.  But  the  missionaries  do  not  come  by  right, 
but  by  invitation  of  the  Japanese  Church.  For  example, 
American,  Canadian  and  English  clergy  work  under  the 
direction  and  assignment  of  Japanese  bishops.  The  former 
division  into  spheres  of  activity  according  to  missionary 
societies  no  longer  exists,  and  missionaries  irrespective  of 
their  country  of  origin,  are  assigned  by  the  Japanese  bishops 
according  to  needs.  There  are  about  47  missionaries  of  the 
Protestant  Episcopal  Church,  20  of  the  Canadian  Church  of 
England,  10  from  the  C.  M.  S.,  10  from  the  S.  P.  G.  and 
about  10  others.  The  Church  is  divided  into  ten  dioceses 
(Tokyo,  S.  Tokyo,  North  Kanto,  Mid-Japan,  Tohoku,  Hok 
kaido,  Kyoto,  Osaka,  Kobe  and  Kyushu) ,  with  the  Bishop 
of  Kobe  (The  Most  Rev.  Michael  H.Yashiro,  S.  T.  D.) 
acting  as  the  Presiding  Bishop.  There  is  a  National 
Council  of  the  Church,  which  has  various  sub-committees 
which  seek  to  co-ordinate  the  work  of  the  Church.  The 
membership  of  the  Church  has  not  yet  reached  its  pre 
war  proportions,  but  there  are  approximately  9,000  com 
municants  and  a  Church  membership  of  some  25,000 


ANGLICAN  EPISCOPAL  CHURCH  185 

with  a  further  20,000  in  contact  with  the  Church  and  its 
Sunday  Schools. 

In  the  year  1952-3,  there  have  been  two  main  events 
in  the  life  of  the  Church.  In  July,  1952,  there  was  a 
nationwide  rally  of  the  workers  of  the  Church  at  Gifu, 
the  first  occasion  for  23  years  that  the  clergy  and  lay- 
workers  of  the  Church  had  managed  to  meet  together. 
More  than  200  bishops,  priests  and  deacons  were  present, 
and  a  further  hundred  or  more  workers,  missionaries, 
helpers  and  observers.  The  Presiding  Bishop  expressed 
the  aim  of  the  Conference  in  the  words :  "  It  would  meet 
the  need  of  our  meeting  together  in  fellowship  as  co- 
workers  in  the  Church  to  share  each  others'  suffering,  and 
to  unite  in  common  vision."  In  April,  1953,  was  held  the 
24th  General  Synod  of  the  Nippon  Sei  Ko  Kwai,  when 
three  clerical  and  three  lay  representatives  from  each 
diocese  met  with  the  bishops  to  hear  reports  from  the 
various  committees  of  the  National  Council,  to  budget 
and  legislate  for  the  coming  three  years.  There  were  30 
bills  in  all,  of  which  4  were  especially  important: — 

1.  It  was  agreed  that  plans  should  be   put   in   hand 
for  the  celebration  of  the  centenary  of   missionary 
activity  in  1959. 

2.  Owing    to    the   Capital   Funds   Campaign   of   the 
American  Episcopal  Church,  each  diocese  would  be 
able  to  submit  a  particular  project  for  the  considera 
tion  and  approval  of  the  National  Council. 

3.  A  proposed  revision  of  the  Prayer  Book  was  put 


186  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

forward  by  the  Liturgical  Sub-Committee  appointed 
by  the  previous  Synod  in  1950.  (Up  to  the  present 
the  Sei  Ko  Kwai  has  used  largely  a  translation  of 
the  English  Book  of  Common  Prayer  with  some 
modifications  and  additions  from  the  American 
Prayer  Book) .  The  revised  Prayer  Book  was  passed 
for  experimental  use  till  the  following  Synod. 
4.  In  the  light  of  economic  difficulties  the  advisability 
of  reducing  the  number  of  dioceses  was  discussed, 
and  also  the  question  whether  the  Church  should 
return  to  the  prewar  system  of  missionary  districts. 
It  was  agreed  to  go  forward  as  in  the  postwar  years. 

Contacts  with    other    Churches    of   the    Anglican    Com 
munion,  etc. 

Bishop  Yashiro,  in  the  years  since  1948  when  he 
(with  Bishop  Yanagihara  and  Bishop  Makita)  attended  the 
Lambeth  Conference,  has  visited  the  U.  S.,  Australia  and 
New  Zealand.  During  the  summer  of  1952  Bishop  Yashiro 
was  present  at  both  the  Synod  of  the  Canadian  Church 
and  the  General  Convention  of  the  American  Episcopal 
Church.  Bishop  Nakamura  (of  Tohoku)  visited  the  Philip 
pines  early  in  1953,  and  Bishop  Ueda  (of  Hokkaido) 
represented  the  Church  at  the  World  Council  of  Churches' 
gathering  at  Lucknow,  India. 

The  Nippon  Sei  Ko  Kwai  has  also  given  help  in 
personnel  and  money  to  the  missionary  work  on  Okinawa. 


THE  PRESBYTERIAN  CHURCH,  U.S. 
(Southern) 

by  Margaret  Archibald 

The  Japan  Mission  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the 
United  States  first  opened  work  in  Kochi  in  1885  and  in 
1887.  The  first  two  missionaries  were  Rev.  R.  B.  Grinnan 
and  Rev.  R.  E.  McAlpine.  Dr.  McAlpine  remained  in  Japan 
until  he  retired  in  1932.  Dr.  Grinnan  resigned  from  the 
Mission  in  1898. 

Number  and  Location  of  Missionaries 

During  this  period  of  sixty-seven  years  there  have 
been  149  missionaries  located  in  Kochi,  Tokushima,  Taka- 
matsu,  Marugame,  and  Zentsuji  on  the  island  of  Shiko- 
ku,  and  in  Nagoya,  Kobe,  Toyohashi,  Okazaki,  and  Gifu 
on  Honshu. 

The  Mission  now  numbers  forty-four.  Ten  of  these 
came  as  new  missionaries  in  1952.  One  couple  is  on 
furlough.  There  have  been  thirty-four  new  missionaries 
since  January,  1949.  Nine  of  these  have  been  transfers 
from  China.  Twelve  of  the  new  missionaries  are  now  in 
language  school  and  the  others  have  begun  their  work 
in  the  evangelistic  and  educational  fields.

188  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

Evangelistic  Work 

The  evangelistic  work  of  the  Mission  has  always 
been  centered  in  the  areas  around  the  above  mentioned 
places.  Members  of  the  Mission  have  had  no  direct  affil 
iation  with  any  church  body  in  Japan  since  the  war,  but 
are  working  in  connection  with  the  Reformed  Church  in 
Japan  and  with  former  Presbyterian  groups. 

Educational  Work 

In  the  educational  field,  the  Mission  has  had  a  part 
in  the  establishment  of  several  schools.  The  oldest  and 
largest  is  Kinjo  Gakuin  in  Nagoya.  The  school  has  a 
high  school  department  in  the  center  of  the  city  and  a 
junior  college  and  senior  college  in  Omori,  six  miles  out 
on  the  Seto  highway.  The  present  enrollment  is  more 
than  3,000.  For  almost  twenty  years  the  school  has  been 
independent  of  the  Mission,  but  five  missionaries  are  now 
teaching  in  the  school  and  much  assistance  was  given  in 
the  necessary  rebuilding  program  following  the  war.  In 
June,  1952,  Southwestern  University  in  Memphis  conferred 
upon  the  president  of  Kinjo  Gakuin,  Yoichi  Ichimura,  the 
honorary  degree  of  Doctor  of  Education. 

Seiwa  Girls'  School  in  Kochi  was  established  by  Miss 
Annie  Dowd.  It  was  an  industrial  school  until  Miss 
Dowd's  retirement  in  1934,  when  it  was  taken  over  by 
the  Kochi  Church.  At  the  request  of  the  Church  the 
Mission  again  assumed  support  of  the  school  in  1948.  In 


THE  PRESBYTERIAN  CHURCH,  U.S.  189 

1952  a  new  school  building  and  a  missionary  faculty 
residence  were  completed.  All  government  requirements 
have  been  met  and  recognition  is  expected  in  1953. 

The  buildings  in  the  Rokko  section  of  Kobe  used 
jointly  by  the  seminary  of  the  Reformed  Church  in  Japan 
and  the  Kobe  Japanese  Language  School  have  been 
constructed  by  the  Mission  since  the  war.  The  language 
school,  begun  in  1949  for  the  new  missionaries  of  the 
Mission,  had  sixty  students  from  twelve  different  mission 
groups  during  this  past  year.  The  school  uses  the  Na- 
ganuma  textbooks  and  follows  the  Naganuma  system 
of  teaching. 

Shikoku  Men's  Christian  College  was  opened  in  Zen- 
tsuji  in  April,  1950.  A  new  modernly  equipped  library 
has  been  added  since  that  time.  This  is  the  first  men's 
school  below  seminary  level  with  which  the  Mission  has 
been  connected. 

A  kindergarten  building  in  Kasugai,  Aichi  Ken,  was 
completed  during  the  year  and  is  the  center  for  a  new 
church  with  a  full-time  pastor. 

Medical  Work 

For  several  years  the  Mission  has  been  working 
towards  the  beginning  of  a  medical  center.  Negotiations 
are  in  process  for  the  purchase  of  5,000  tsubo  of  land 
near  Awaji  station  within  the  city  limits  of  Osaka.  The 
first  20-bed  section  of  a  hospital  will  soon  be  started, 
and  Dr.  Frank  A.  Brown,  Jr.,  hopes  the  hospital  will  be 


190  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

ready  for  its  first  patients  by  the  end  of  1953. 
Radio 

The  Mission's  most  recent  expansion  has  been  in  the 
field  of  radio.  Broadcasts  were  made  monthly  over 
Station  CBC,  Nagoya,  from  October  through  December. 
From  the  beginning  of  the  new  year  a  thirteen-week 
program  of  broadcasts  was  planned  under  the  program 
name  "  To  Christ "  (Kirisuto  e  no  Jikan) .  The  program 
is  under  the  direction  of  Rev.  J.  A.  McAlpine  of  Gifu. 


THE  REFORMED  PRESBYTERIAN 
MISSION 

by  Rose  A.  Huston 

The  Reformed  Presbyterian  Mission,  after  more  than 
fifty  years  in  Kwan-Tung,  China,  was  forced  to  leave  by 
the  Communist  occupation  of  South  China.  After  spend 
ing  a  year  in  Hong  Kong,  six  members  of  the  Mission 
transferred  to  Japan,  arriving  during  the  summer  of  1950 
and  settling  in  Kobe.  Additional  workers  are  expected 
in  1953. 

The  Reformed  Presbyterian  missionaries  came  bear 
ing  the  same  scriptural  standards  and  distinctive  princ 
iples  of  life  and  worship  that  were  held  by  the  church 
of  the  Scottish  Reformation,  and  which  were  instrumental 
in  guaranteeing  to  so  many  millions  the  one  great  freedom 
to  worship  God  according  to  the  dictates  of  their  own 
conscience.  It  is  their  aim  to  establish  a  church  based 
on  these  principles,  self-supporting,  and  led  by  a  well- 
trained  ministry. 

While  spending  some  time  in  language  study,  work 
was  begun  in  English  with  Japanese  interpreters  and 
also  in  English  Bible  classes.  Evangelistic  work  is  being 
carried  on  by  means  of  preaching  services,  Bible  classes, 
and  private  teaching  in  homes,  hospitals,  schools,  and 
other  places,  using  as  needs  require,  Japanese,  English, 

191 


192  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

Mandarin,  and  Cantonese  languages. 

While  the  work  is  primarily  among  the  Japanese, 
some  work  is  being  done  for  Chinese  who  speak  only 
Cantonese  in  connection  with  the  Southern  Presbyterian 
Mission  to  the  Chinese  in  Kobe,  as  they  have  no  Can 
tonese  speaking  workers. 

The  Mission  also  cooperates  with  The  Reformation 
Translation  Fellowship,  a  group  which  writes  and  trans 
lates  books,  magazines,  and  articles  which  emphasize 
the  Reformed  doctrines  as  well  as  others  helpful  to 
Christians  in  these  perilous  days.  Mr.  Charles  H.  Chao, 
formerly  of  Manchuria,  and  the  Rev.  Samuel  E.  Boyle 
have  translated  Dr.  Loraine  Boettner's  excellent  book  on 
predestination  into  Chinese,  and  more  than  a  thousand 
copies  have  been  sent  into  Red  China.  Some  seven 
hundred  copies  of  their  magazine  "  The  Reformed  Faith  " 
have  gone  in  regularly,  and  many  letters  have  come 
•out  saying  how  greatly  both  the  magazine  and  the  book 
are  needed  and  appreciated. 

Though  both  have  been  put  on  the  Communist  black 
list  as  subversive,  there  are  still  occasional  brave  calls 
for  more.  These  are  being  distributed  also  in  every  land 
where  refugees  from  Communism  have  fled.  These 
Chinese  publications  are  prepared  in  Japan,  printed  in 
Hong  Kong,  and  distributed  from  there. 

Mr.  Boyle's  book,  "  The  Church  in  Red  China  Leans  to 
One  Side"  (English),  has  been  distributed  in  many  parts 
of  the  Orient  and  has  brought  calls  for  anti-Communist 


THE  REFORMED  PRESBYTERIAN  MISSION  193 

tracts  and  newspaper  articles  in  both  Japanese  and  Chi 
nese.  With  the  help  of  Mr.  Masunage  and  Mr.  Kataya- 
ma,  tracts  and  booklets  have  been  printed  in  Japanese; 
one  of  these  is  "  The  Reformed  Presbyterian  Church " 
and  another  "Bible  Truths  for  Young  Christians"  in 
question  and  answer  form.  The  latter  is  now  being 
printed  in  Chinese.  Mr.  T.  Takase  has  put  quite  a 
number  of  Psalms  into  metrical  form  for  use  in  worship, 
and  we  hope  to  have  them  printed  later  on. 

Mr.  Boyle  is  teaching  a  course  on  "  The  Psalms  "  in 
the  Theological  Seminary  of  the  Reformed  Church  of 
Japan,  using  Hebrew,  English,  and  Japanese  languages. 
In  addition,  the  Mission  has  established  what  is  known 
as  "  The  Covenanter  Book  Room "  with  Miss  Orlena 
Lynn  and  Mr.  Kaji  Katayama  in  charge.  It  is  prepared 
to  serve  the  Kobe  area  and  others  with  dependable 
Christian  literature.  Though  it  has  been  in  operation 
only  a  year,  it  is  already  filling  a  need  in  providing 
Bibles  in  many  languages,  Japanese  and  Chinese  books 
as  well  as  Bible  commentaries  and  other  books  in  Eng 
lish.  This  is  also  a  center  for  church  services,  Sabbath 
School,  and  Bible  classes  in  Japanese  and  English,  some 
of  which  are  attended  by  young  people  of  several  nation 
alities. 


THE  CHRISTIAN  REFORMED  JAPAN 
MISSION 

by  Henry  Bruinooge 

In  the  spring  of  1950,  when  the  mission  work  of  the 
Christian  Reformed  Church  in  China  came  to  a  close 
after  some  twenty-five  fruitful  years,  the  last  returning 
missionary  was  asked  to  stop  in  Japan  on  his  return  to 
America.  His  contact  was  with  the  Reformed  Church 
of  Christ  in  Japan  (Nihon  Kirisuto  Kaikakuha  Kyokai) 
which  officially  asked  that  the  Christian  Reformed  Church 
assist  in  its  program  of  evangelism. 

Since  the  Reformed  Church  of  Christ  in  Japan  and 
the  Christian  Reformed  Church  in  America  are  churches 
of  Calvinistic  pursuasion  and  hold  to  similar  Biblical 
confessions,  cooperation  in  evangelism  promises  to  be  an 
an  arrangement  of  mutual  satisfaction  to  both  churches. 
Specifically,  the  Christian  Reformed  Mission  has  been 
asked  to  assist  the  churches  in  the  Eastern  Presbytery, 
centering  in  the  Tohoku  and  Kanto  areas. 

The  first  missionaries  of  the  Christian  Reformed 
Church  arrived  in  Japan  in  the  spring  of  1951  and  since 
that  time  others  have  come,  bringing  the  total  to  eight 
adults. 

Because  its  primary  objective  is  the  establishment  of 
churches  through  evangelism,  the  Mission's  policy  is  to 

194 


THE  CHRISTIAN  REFORMED  JAPAN  MISSION        195 

have  all  missionaries  become  thoroughly  acquainted  with 
the  Japanese  language  as  the  most  effective  means  to 
carry  out  their  aims.  At  present  all  the  missionaries 
are  studying  Japanese  in  Tokyo  in  preparation  for  the 
work  which  lies  ahead.  In  the  summer  and  winter 
of  1952  two  series  of  evangelistic  services  were  con 
ducted  in  Suwa,  Nagano  Prefecture,  and  it  is  planned  to 
locate  one  missionary  family  in  that  area  to  broaden 
the  scope  of  evangelism  and  strengthen  the  group  of 
Japanese  Christians  who  have  already  been  holding 
meetings  of  their  own.  The  prospectus  also  calls  for 
placing  a  missionary  family  in  the  city  of  Kofu,  Yama- 
nashi  Prefecture,  thus  extending  the  work  along  the 
Chuo  Railway.  One  missionary  is  temporarily  engaged 
as  a  teacher  in  the  Japan  Evangelical  Christian  School 
for  missionary  children  in  Kurume-machi. 
I  The  Christian  Reformed  Church  is  not  the  only 

church  cooperating  with  the  Nihon  Kirisuto  Kaikakuka 
Kyokai.  The  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  U.S.  (Southern) 
is  cooperating  with  this  Japanese  church  in  western 
Japan  and  on  Shikoku  Island,  and  the  Orthodox  Presby 
terian  Church  in  the  Tohoku  district. 

It  is  hoped  that  1953  will  see  the  arrival  of  new 
missionaries  to  augment  the  present  staff.  The  prospects 
for  the  future  are  to  engage  in  evangelism  as  a  means 
to  establish  churches  that  will  be  joined  to  the  larger 
body  of  the  Reformed  Church  of  Christ  in  Japan,  and  to 
use  such  means  as  publication  of  tracts,  translation  of 


196  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

Christian  literature,  street  arid  cottage  meetings,  Gospel 
services  and  personal  witnessing,  as  will  aid  the  program 
of  evangelism. 


THE  LUTHERAN  CHURCHES  OF 
JAPAN 

by  A.  C.  Knudtcn 

The  year  1952  has  seen  some  significant  advances  in 
the  enlarged  work  of  the  Lutheran  Church  and  Missions 
in  Japan.  The  same  number  of  groups,  eleven  in  number, 
carried  forward  their  work,  and  in  one  or  two  cases  were 
joined  by  smaller  groupings  of  Lutherans  interested  in 
Japan  missions — but  the  major  groupings  remained  as 
before. 

One  Lutheran  Church  as  Goal 

The  larger  goal  of  one  Lutheran  Church  in  Japan, 
either  in  union  with  the  existing  Lutheran  Church 
founded  in  1892,  or  in  some  form  of  federation  or  affilia 
tion  with  it,  seems  to  be  the  one  great  area  of  common 
Lutheran  thinking  during  this  year.  The  problem  of 
methods  and  contacts  within  the  framework  of  con 
stituting  boards  in  America,  Norway,  and  Finland,  and 
possibly  Germany,  is  a  point  of  major  consideration. 

Church  Union  \viih  Fukuin  Ruteru  Kyokai 

The  Evangelical  Lutheran  Church  in  Japan  since  its 
founding  has  included  the  missions  of  the  United  Lu 
theran  Church  in  America  and  those  of  the  United 

197 


198  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

Evangelical  Lutheran  Church  (Danish-American).  To 
this  work  the  Augustana  Lutheran  Missions,  begun  in 
1950,  have  decided  to  integrate  the  congregations  resul 
ting  from  their  work  in  the  Chugoku  area  (Hiroshima) 
from  the  beginning.  And  to  this  union  the  Japanese 
congregations  of  the  Fukuin  Ruteru  Kyokai  (churches 
connected  with  the  Finnish  Evangelical  Missionary  As 
sociation)  decided  to  unite.  This  ceremony  of  official 
union  will  take  place  in  Tokyo  in  May,  1953. 

The  United  Evangelical  Lutheran  Church  in  Japan 

The  total  picture  of  this  united  effort  in  the  establish 
ment  of  one  United  Evangelical  Lutheran  Church  in 
Japan,  then,  is  as  follows :

To  this  very  general  statistical  picture  of  the  esta 
blished  Church  must  be  added  the  rest  of  a  balanced 
program  in  the  field  of  Christian  education  and  elee 
mosynary  work.  In  the  field  of  theological  education 
another  group,  namely,  the  Evangelical  -Lutheran  Mission 


THE  LUTHERAN  CHURCHES  OF  JAPAN  199 

(Norwegian-American),  has  entered  in  cooperation  and 
is  providing  a  lecturer  to  the  staff  of  the  Japan  Lutheran 
Theological  Seminary. 

Other  Lutheran  Missions 

In  addition  to  these  missionary  and  church  activities, 
those  of  eight  other  missions  must  be  considered.  In 
this  area  statistics  have  not  been  completed  as  those 
above  but  they  can  be  estimated  on  the  basis  of  figures 
turned  in.  These  eight  groups  have  an  additional  mis 
sionary  staff  of  163  (54  in  the  Missouri  Synod  group, 
47  in  the  Evangelical  Lutheran  group,  41  in  the  groups 
from  Norway,  and  21  in  the  balance).  They  are  work 
ing  in  some  20  congregations  with  some  600  church 
members. 

Special  kinds  of  work  have  been  undertaken  in  several 
areas,  for  instance,  the  radio  ministry  of  the  Lutheran 
Hour,  factory  ministry  of  the  Norwegian  Lutheran  Free 
Church  in  southern  Mie  Ken  and  a  developing  rural  ministry 
in  Hiroshima  Ken  by  the  Augustana  group.  When  all 
statistics  are  in,  the  picture  will  reveal  a  missionary 
staff  for  the  all-Lutheran  work  of  240  persons,  with  some 
50  ordained  Japanese  pastors,  working  in  over  100  churches 
and  centers  with  7,500  church  members  in  some  30  ken 
in  Japan. 


200  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

All-Lutheran  Cooperative  Work 

The  combined  Lutheran  forces  meet  in  the  All-Lutheran 
Free  Conference  once  or  twice  yearly  to  discuss  plans  and 
programs  for  the  maximum  results  in  the  evangelization 
of  Japan.  Apart  from  this  organized  group  working  on 
a  free  and  independent  basis  is  another  group  more 
closely  knit  for  purposes  of  publication  of  a  common 
pool  of  literature  known  as  the  Lutheran  Literature 
Society,  which  also  meets  periodically  and  has  an  ex 
ecutive  committee  to  carry  forward  authorized  projects. 
It  publishes  the  Fukuin  Shimbun  with  a  circulation  of 
11,000  copies,  and  has  recently  secured  a  full-time  mis 
sionary  to  work  in  this  field.  A  full-time  Japanese  worker 
is  being  sought  to  carry  forward  evangelism  through 
literature. 


THE  LUTHERAN  CHURCH-MISSOURI 
SYNOD,  JAPAN  MISSION 

by  W.  J.  Danker 

The  work  of  the  Japan  Mission  of  the  Lutheran 
Church — Missouri  Synod  continued  to  make  progress  under 
God's  blessings  in  1952.  In  spite  of  changing  conditions 
in  this  country  there  were  235  baptisms  reported— a  figure 
slightly  higher  than  that  of  the  year  before,  bringing  the 
total  membership  of  this  four-year  old  mission  near 
the  600  mark.  At  this  writing  in  February,  1953,  there 
are  53  missionaries  in  the  field  working  in  three  major 
areas  of  Hokkaido,  Niigata  Prefecture,  and  the  Kanto 
Plain. 

The  so-called  vicar  program  under  which  ten  seminary 
students  came  to  Japan  as  short-termers  working  through 
interpreters  for  a  period  of  approximately  two  years 
each  is  now  coming  to  an  end.  Three  have  already 
left  and  the  remaining  seven  will  return  to  the  States  in 
the  summer  for  their  final  seminary  year.  This  program 
helped  to  develop  momentum  during  the  early  years  of 
the  Mission  and  allowed  the  full -term  missionaries  to 
devote  more  time  to  language  study  and  the  manifold 
tasks  of  establishing  a  new  Mission.  Some  of  these 
young  men  are  planning  to  return  as  regular  missionaries. 

The  full-term  missionaries  are  doing  more  and  more 
201 


202  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

of  their  work  in  Japanese.  The  Mission  has  maintained 
its  own  language  school  at  the  Tokyo  Lutheran  Center 
which  is  also  attended  by  missionaries  from  other  groups. 

The  number,  of  unattached  Bible  classes  for  inquirers 
decreased  during  the  year.  More  emphasis  was  laid 
upon  the  congregations  already  developed.  STRENGTHEN 
THY  STAKES  was  the  motto  of  the  1952  missionaries' 
conference  and  the  year  was  marked  by  consolidation  of 
existing  groups  rather  than  by  new  expansion.  Steward 
ship  began  to  register  an  improvement.  Some  of  the 
recent  congregations  are  beginning  to  make  small  re 
payments  on  the  chapels  erected  by  the  Mission.  Church 
attendance  is  not  markedly  increasing  but  the  proportion 
of  those  attending  who  have  become  members  is  rising. 
Regular  Sunday  church  services  are  conducted  at  27 
places. 

At  this  stage  it  is  unavoidable  that  missionaries  serve 
as  pastors  of  local  congregations.  To  fill  the  need  for 
well-trained  national  workers  a  theological  training 
program  is  getting  under  way  in  April  at  the  Tokyo 
Lutheran  Center  under  the  direction  of  Dr.  O.  H. 
Theiss,  former  executive  secretary  of  the  International 
Walther  League,  who  arrived  in  October  for  this  purpose. 
The  Bible  Institute  carried  on  for  the  past  two  years  is 
being  closed  for  the  time  being  in  order  to  permit  the 
Mission  to  concentrate  available  resources  on  the  theo 
logical  training  program,  since  the  most  pressing  need  is 
for  trained  pastors  rather  than  evangelists.  Entrance 


THE  LUTHERAN  CHURCH-MISSOURI  SYNOD         203 

requirements  are  graduation  from  a  four-year  college 
and  a  good  knowledge  of  English.  Negotiations  are  being 
carried  on  with  other  Lutheran  groups  to  explore  pos 
sibilities  of  cooperative  endeavor  in  this  area. 

The  Mission  is  also  active  in  general  education.  In 
the  fall  of  1951  the  Mission  accepted  the  offer  of  a 
private  high  school  at  Hanno,  Saitama  Prefecture.  Seibo 
Gakuin  is  a  junior  and  senior  high  school.  Rehabilitation 
of  the  physical  plant  was  completed  in  1952.  Currently 
the  faculty  and  curriculum  are  being  strengthened.  An 
increased  Christian  emphasis  is  the  aim  for  the  future. 

Plans  for  the  first  Lutheran  elementary  school  first 
conceived  in  1950  will  be  carried  out  in  April,  1953,  with 
the  opening  of  the  first  grade  of  a  projected  six  room 
school  at  Urawa,  Saitama  Prefecture.  It  is  hoped  that 
the  elementary  school  will  provide  a  much  closer  bond 
with  the  home  than  does  the  Sunday  School. 

Production  of  Japanese  literature  was  highlighted  by 
the  publication  of  Luther's  Small  Catechism  with  the 
complete  explanation  on  July  1,  1952.  Concordia  Sunday 
School  leaflets,  first  printed  in  1950,  continued  in  uninter 
rupted  production.  A  program  was  launched  for  sending 
enough  of  this  material  to  Okinawa  to  supply  5,000 
children  every  week. 

Radio  evangelism,  inaugurated  by  the  International 
Lutheran  Hour  in  the  fall  of  1951,  expanded  greatly.  At 
year's  end,  twelve  stations  from  Kyushu  to  Hokkaido 
were  broadcasting  the  Gospel  message  in  a  half-hour 


204 

program  every  Sunday.  The  Augustana  Mission  cooper 
ates  in  this  effort  by  paying-  for  broadcasting  time  on  the 
Hiroshima  station  in  its  field.  1.300  pieces  of  mail  per 
week  are  received  in  response  to  the  Bible  Correspon 
dence  Course  offered  through  these  broadcasts  which  are 
making  a  significant  contribution  to  the  Christian  move 
ment  as  a  whole. 

Plans  were  formulated  for  beginning  medical  mission 
work  in  1953.  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Nobutaka  Azuma,  who  have 
been  doing  advanced  work  at  the  Lutheran  hospital  in 
St.  Louis,  Missouri,  are  to  return  this  summer  and  will 
open  a  small  clinic  in  Sapporo.  At  the  same  time  the 
Mission  is  exploring  the  possibilities  of  working  with 
existing  Japanese  medical  agencies  rather  than  establish 
ing  large  institutions  of  its  own. 

The  Sapporo  Youth  Center's  dedication  was  the  out 
standing  milestone  in  the  department  of  youth  work.  Four 
youth  camps  were  conducted  in  the  summer.  English 
classes,  youth  clubs,  and  other  interest  groups  are  also 
carried  on. 

In  the  new  year  the  Mission  may  be  expected  to 
emphasize  the  training  of  future  Japanese  pastors  and 
the  further  consolidation  and  building  up  of  the  local 
congregations  and  mission  stations  already  begun.  No 
significant  new  expansion  is  blueprinted. 


FOREIGN  MISSION  BOARD 

SOUTHERN  BAPTIST 

CONVENTION 

by  Edwin  B.  Dozier 

In  1952  the  Southern  Baptist  Japan  Mission  continued 
to  grow  to  96  missionaries  ready  to  assist  49  organized 
Japan  Baptist  Convention  (Nippon  Baputesuto  Remmei) 
churches,  47  preaching  stations,  20-odd  kindergartens,  2 
junior  high  schools,  2  senior  high  schools,  2  junior 
colleges,  1  senior  college,  1  theological  seminary,  1 
publishing  house,  1  goodwill  center,  1  rehabilitation  center 
and  the  beginnings  of  a  hospital,  in  23  of  the  proposed  28 
prefectures.  The  membership  of  the  churches  had  risen 
by  the  time  of  the  summer  annual  meeting  to  6,017 
believers,  a  28%  increase  over  1951.  Twenty-eight  (28) 
ordained  men  supplemented  by  25  evangelists  form  the 
leadership  with  the  assistance  of  the  missionaries.  Ap 
proximately  half  of  the  churches  and  preaching  stations 
are  self-supporting,  with  none  but  the  newest  Convention- 
sponsored  points  being  entirely  supported  by  the  Conven 
tion.  Scriptural  giving  instead  of  the  prewar  system  of 
assessments  has  boosted  the  income  of  the  Convention, 
and  churches  are  tithing  their  total  income  for  over-all 
causes  as  they  urge  their  membership  to  give  of  their 
tithe.  The  Christmas  Mission  Love  Offering  sponsored 

205 


206  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

by  the  Women's  Department  exceeded  the  dreams  of  the 
department  and  totaled  Y  655,000.00  for  Home  and  Foreign 
Missions.  Evangelism  continues  as  a  major  emphasis 
even  though  there  was  no  American-sponsored  preaching 
mission,  but  pastors  and  missionaries  held  a  two  month 
simultaneous  fall  evangelistic  campaign  in  75  centers 
with  one  to  seven  services  and  special  meetings  in  each 
place.  Total  tabulations  have  not  been  completed,  but 
the  percentage  of  decisions  over  the  past  two  years 
were  greater  though  contrasted  by  smaller  crowds  attend 
ing  the  services. 

Filling  in  the  spots  listed  by  the  Convention  in  its 
national  outreach,  the  Mission  in  1952  stationed  personnel 
in  Sendai,  Mito,  Urawa,  Yokohama,  Okayama,  Takama- 
tsu,  Matsuyama,  Oita,  and  Kagoshima,  while  plans  for 
1953-54  are  to  locate  missionaries  in  Miyazaki,  Matsue, 
Kanazawa,  Niigata,  one  other  Tohoku  city,  and  a  second 
locality  in  Hokkaido. 

Hampering  greater  growth  is  the  bottleneck  of  the 
scarcity  of  trained  native  workers,  but  the  50  young  people 
training  in  the  Fukuoka  seminary  lend  promise  for  the  days 
ahead.  However,  the  greatest  blessing  and  strength  has 
been  the  close  bond  of  fellowship  and  love  among  the 
brethren.  A  highlight  of  the  Mission  in  1952  was  the 
signal  moving  of  the  Holy  Spirit  in  the  annual  Mission 
meeting.  Another  significant  event  was  the  arrival  of  2 
of  the  4  doctors  to  accelerate  the  opening  of  the  hospital 
in  Kyoto  early  in  1954.  The  gift  of  a  10  acre  summer 


SOUTHERN  BAPTIST  CONVENTION  207 

assembly  site  (by  the  Baptists  in  the  military  services) 
between  Atami  and  Numazu  on  Izu  peninsula  will  greatly 
strengthen  the  training  functions  of  the  churches. 

Close  cooperation  and  increasing  skills  in  working 
methods  have  helped  the  Mission  and  Convention  to  grow 
steadily  in  the  work.  The  annual  pastors'  and  mission 
aries'  conference  each  spring  heightens  fellowship  and 
knowledge  of  one  another  in  addition  to  providing  inspira 
tion  and  concerted  consecration  to  the  task.  With  God's 
leadership  Baptists  should  grow. 


THE  NORTH  AMERICAN  BAPTIST 
GENERAL  MISSIONARY  SOCIETY 

by  Florence  Miller 

The  North  American  Baptist  General  Missionary 
Society  is  more  commonly  known  by  its  former  name  of 
German  Baptist.  Our  mission  headquarters  is  located  in 
Forest  Park,  Illinois,  and  our  270  churches  are  scattered 
throughout  the  United  States  and  Canada. 

Our  mission  work  before  1951  had  been  limited  to 
the  fields  of  Europe  and  Africa.  However,  in  1951  it  was 
decided  to  open  a  work  in  Japan.  Accordingly,  in  No 
vember  of  1951  the  first  three  missionaries  arrived  in 
Japan.  These  three  are  still  in  Tokyo  studying  the 
language.  However,  in  addition  to  language  school,  two 
Sunday  Schools  and  a  beginning  church  work  have  been 
carried  on. 

In  the  spring  of  1952  another  missionary  family  came 
to  Japan  under  appointment  of  this  Mission  but  as  mem 
bers  of  the  Youth  for  Christ  staff.  They  are  now 
engaged  in  full-time  evangelistic  work  in  participation 
with  the  Youth  for  Christ  program. 

During  the  year  1953  three  more  missionaries  are 
expected  to  join  the  mission  family,  making  the  number 
eight  in  all. 

In  the  summer  of  1952  two  missionaries  and  the

THE  NORTH  AMERICAN  BAPTISTS  209 

Youth  for  Christ  team  travelled  to  Mie  Ken  and  there 
conducted  open-air  meetings  in  all  of  the  major  cities. 
The  response  to  the  preaching  of  the  Gospel  was  very 
encouraging  everywhere.  This  trip  also  served  the  pur 
pose  of  allowing  an  opportunity  to  survey  the  amount 
of  evangelical  work  being  done  in  Mie  Ken. 

After  visiting  several  other  kens,  it  was  decided  to 
begin  our  work  in  Mie  Ken  with  headquarters  at  Uji- 
yamada  City.  By  August,  after  a  home  has  been  built,  the 
first  three  missionaries  expect  to  begin  their  work'in  the 
Ujiyamada  area. 

It  is  the  plan  of  our  missionaries  to  devote  most  of 
their  time  to  direct  evangelism,  remembering  that  "  Christ 
Jesus  came  into  the  world  to  save  sinners." 


THE  MID-JAPAN  BAPTIST  MISSION 

by  Chaplain  Carl  Blackler 

The  work  of  the  Mid-Japan  Mission  was  opened  in 
Japan  during  the  fall  of  1949.  The  work  has  been  carried 
on  through  Bible  classes,  Sunday  Schools,  street  meetings 
and  church  services.  Four  organized  churches  have  come 
into  being. 

There  have  been  fourteen  missionaries  on  the  field. 
Four  have  returned  to  the  United  States  to  resign  from 
the  Mission.  Six  of  the  ten  remaining  missionaries  have 
also  presented  their  resignations.  They  shall  continue 
to  work  here  as  independent  Baptist  missionaries  in  con 
nection  with  three  of  the  organized  churches. 

This  leaves  a  Mid- Japan  Baptist  Mission  Council  of 
four  missionaries  on  the  field  with  one  organized  church. 
The  Council  is  now  composed  of  missionaries  Rev.  and 
Mrs.  J.  Newland  Pfaff,  Miss  Sue  Morano  and  Miss  Doris 
Youmans.

THE  JAPAN  FREE  METHODIST 
CHURCH 

by  Pearl  M.  Reid 

Free  Methodist  missionary  work  in  Japan  was  not 
started  by  missionaries  from  America  but  rather  by  the 
Japanese  themselves  in  1895.  In  the  postwar  period  a 
larger  staff  of  missionaries  has  been  sent  to  assist  the 
Japanese  Church  which  in  the  prewar  days  was  self- 
supporting. 

In  1952  the  Japanese  Free  Methodist  Mission  was 
composed  of  thirteen  missionaries  and  one  associate 
missionary.  Of  these,  four  are  still  in  language  study 
in  Tokyo  as  of  February,  1953. 

In  the  rehabilitation  period,  funds  were  appropriated 
for  a  large-scale  reconstruction  and  repair  program.  At 
present  there  are  25  organized  churches  and  approx 
imately  30  other  preaching  centers.  In  1952  there  were 
2,963  full  members.  The  majority  of  the  churches  are 
self-supporting  and  a  very  definite  plan  is  being  followed 
so  that  in  the  comparatively  near  future  the  church  and 
educational  work  will  be  entirely  self-supporting.  Sunday 
Schools  number  54  with  an  average  attendance  of  3,600 
pupils.  There  are  8  kindergartens  which  are  operated 
by  the  church.  Free  Methodists  thank  God  for  the 
material  recovery  from  wartime  losses  and  the  spiritual 

211 


212  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

life  of  the  church  which  is  also  reviving  in  many  places. 
This  is  evidenced  by  the  outreach  to  establish  new 
regular  preaching  points  and  the  increased  activity  of 
the  lay  members  of  the  church. 

The  work  of  the  Japan  Free  Methodist  Church  is 
concentrated  in  the  Kansai  area  with  work  in  Tokyo, 
Fukushima  Ken  and  Sendai  Shi. 

Missionary  activity  in  recent  years  has  been  pre 
dominantly  evangelistic.  Efforts  have  been  channeled 
through  the  organized  church  whenever  possible  and  one 
missionary,  Rev.  Jacob  DeShazer,  has  had  a  large 
opportunity  outside  of  the  church.  One  field  of  service 
has  been  through  the  Bible  classes  in  the  local  churches 
and  high  schools. 

Osaka  Christian  College  provides  another  opportunity 
to  make  Christ  better  known  to  the  youth  of  Japan.  In 
1951  dormitories,  classroom  buildings,  church  and  admin 
istration  buildings  were  replaced  as  they  had  been  des 
troyed  during  the  war.  Along  with  a  new  kindergarten 
building  these  daily  make  possible  the  educational  pro 
gram.  Two  years  of  a  liberal  arts  college  is  accredited 
with  the  government  and  a  four-year  diploma  is  given 
in  the  theological  department.  The  government  also  has 
approved  the  training  program  for  kindergarten  teachers. 
In  1952  the  enrollment  in  day  and  night  school  totalled 
98  pupils;  the  majority  of  these  are  registered  in  the 
theological  department.  The  students  receive  practical 
training  over  the  week-end  in  the  various  churches  to 


THE  JAPAN  FREE  METHODIST  CHURCH  213 

which  they  are  assigned  to  work  under  the  supervision 
of  the  pastors.  Four  senior  students  have  acted  as 
student  pastors  during  the  past  year.  Seven  will  be 
graduated  in  March,  1953,  and  enter  Christian  service. 

The  church  and  educational  program  are  now  under 
the  control  of  the  Japan  Free  Methodist  Conference  and 
missionaries  who  are  members  in  good-standing  in  the 
home  conferences  are  received  into  this  fellowship  with 
equal  privileges. 


THE  SEVENTH-DAY  ADVENTIST 
CHURCH 

by  F.  R.  Millard 

The  Seventh-Day  Adventist  Church  began  its  work  in 
Japan  when  Prof.  Percy  Grainger,  a  college  president, 
and  T.  Okohira,  one  of  his  students,  arrived  from  America 
in  the  fall  of  1896.  Very  early,  medical  missionary  work 
was  introduced  and  this  has  continued  to  be  a  prominent 
phase  of  the  work  of  the  church. 

In  addition  to  direct  evangelism  the  church  carries 
on  active  evangelism  through  its  medical,  educational  and 
publishing  programs.  The  Japan  Union  Mission  operates 
the  Japan  Seventh-Day  Adventist  Publishing  House, 
the  Japan  Missionary  College,  the  Tokyo  Sanitarium- 
Hospital  and  the  "  Voice  of  Prophecy,"  a  department  for 
Radio  Evangelism. 

Local  missions  with  headquarters  in  Kobe  and  Tokyo 
carry  out  the  general  evangelistic  program  and  look  after 
the  interests  of  the  churches.  A  Union  Executive  Com 
mittee  of  19  members  (the  present  committee  includes  8 
overseas  workers,  11  Japanese)  is  elected  by  the  delegates 
at  the  Union  Biennial  Session  to  carry  responsibility  and 
direct  the  work  in  general.  The  president  of  the  Union 
serves  as  chairman. 

In  the  spring  of  1952  the  Japan  Missionary  College 
214 


THE  SEVENTH-DAY  ADVENTIST  CHURCH  215 

(an  outgrowth  of  Japan  Junior  College)  expanded  its 
facilities  by  adding  a  new  administration  building,  science 
building  and  library.  Prince  Takamatsu  delivered  the 
principal  address  at  the  dedication.  More  emphasis  will 
now  be  placed  on  the  collegiate  level  with  an  education 
department  for  preparing  teachers  for  elementary  schools 
conducted  in  the  churches  and  a  ministerial  department 
for  supplying  evangelistic  workers. 

During  1952  a  campaign  was  launched  to  raise  funds 
for  the  erection  of  two  new  units  at  the  Tokyo  Sanitarium- 
Hospital.  Neal  Woods,  M.  D.,  joined  the  staff  during  the 
year.  Bessie  Irvine,  R.  N.,  took  over  the  position  of 
Director  of  Nursing  Service,  and  Ruth  Munroe,  R.  N., 
arrived  to  serve  as  Director  of  the  School  of  Nursing. 
Ogden  Aaby,  the  new  business  manager,  joined  the  staff 
late  in  the  year. 

During  the  year  1952  the  Japan  Seventh-Day  Adventist 
Publishing  House  put  out  three  new  books,  one  of  them 
a  health  book.  One  hundred  eighty  colporteurs  are 
engaged  in  the  distribution  of  books  and  magazines  from 
this  house. 

The  Voice  of  Prophecy  which  began  in  1948  as  a 
Bible  Correspondence  School  found  its  voice  in  1952  with 
the  opening  of  regular  weekly  broadcasts  over  Radio 
Tokyo.  Contracts  were  signed  with  more  stations  before 
the  year  closed  so  that  the  program  is  now  heard 
weekly  from  Sapporo,  Sendai,  Tokyo,  Shizuoka,  Osaka, 
Nagano,  Hiroshima,  and  Fukuoka,  Nearly  40,000  students 


216  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

are  actively  enrolled  in  the  correspondence  school.  Over 
15,000  of  these  have  completed  the  course  of  study. 

Five  elementary  schools  and  one  kindergarten  were 
operated  by  churches  during  the  past  year  and  permits 
have  been  issued  for  the  opening  of  five  more. 

The  Tokyo  Evangelistic  Center  was  dedicated  in 
February  of  1952.  In  addition  to  a  modern  church  with 
a  seating  capacity  of  over  500,  the  center  includes  offices 
for  the  North  Japan  Mission,  headquarters  for  the  "  Voice 
of  Prophecy  ",  a  fully  equipped  medical  clinic  operated 
by  the  Tokyo  Sanitarium-Hospital,  and  a  young  peoples' 
hall.  In  September  the  offices  of  the  Japan  Union  Mission 
were  moved  to  a  new  headquarters  building  erected  on 
the  compound  of  the  evangelistic  center. 

The  Japan  Union  now  includes  a  fully  established 
Mission  on  Okinawa.  Fifty-one  Okinawans  have  been 
baptized  and  two  church  buildings  erected.  A  colporteur 
is  now  working  on  the  island,  and  an  Okinawa  nurse  is  now 
studying  at  the  Tokyo  Sanitarium-Hospital  in  preparation 
for  opening  medical  work  in  Okinawa.  A  teacher  from 
Okinawa  is  now  in  Japan  preparing  to  open  a  mission 
school  in  connection  with  one  of  the  two  churches  recently 
established  on  the  island. 


THE  EVANGELICAL  ALLIANCE 
MISSION 

by  Donald  E.  Nelson 

"  Therefore  I  say  let  this  type  of  missionary  stand, 
that  he  is  without  the  care  of  making  friends,  of  keeping 
friends,  without  the  hope  or  desire  of  worldly  goods, 
without  the  apprehension  of  worldly  loss,  without  the 
care  of  life,  without  the  fear  of  death ;  of  no  rank,  of  no 

country:  a  man  of  one  thought the  Gospel  of  Christ ; 

a  man  of  one  purpose the  glory  of  God;  a  fool  and 

content  to  be  reckoned  a  fool  for  Christ.  Let  him  be 
an  enthusiast,  fanatic,  babbler,  or  any  other  outlandish 
nondescript  the  world  may  choose  to  denominate  him ; 
but  still  let  him  be  nondescript.  When  they  call  him 
trader,  householder,  citizen,  man  of  substance,  man  of 
the  world,  man  of  learning,  or  even  man  of  common 
sense,  it  is  all  over  with  his  missionary  character.  They 
must  speak  or  they  must  die,  and  although  they  should 
die  they  will  speak.  They  have  no  rest,  but  hasten  over 
land  and  sea,  rocks  and  trackless  deserts.  They  cry  aloud 
and  spare  not,  and  will  not  be  hindered.  In  the  prisons 
they  lift  up  their  voices,  and  in  the  tempests  of  the 
ocean  they  are  not  silent.  Before  awful  councils  and 
throned  kings  they  witness  in  behalf  of  the  truth. 
Nothing  can  quench  their  voice  but  death,  and  in  the 

217 


218  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

article  of  death,  ere  yet  the  fiery  flame  and  rolling  smoke 
have  suffocated  the  organ  of  the  soul,  they  speak,  they 
testify,  they  confess,  they  beseech,  they  warn,  and  at 
length  bless  the  cruel  people."1 

The  mission  family  of  TEAM  finds  new  meaning  in 
the  urgency  of  Christ's  final  words  to  His  disciples.  The 
Japan  field  is  but  one  of  the  many  harvest  fields  of  the  earth 
into  which  TEAM  missionaries  have  entered.  With  the 
blood  of  martyrdom  fresh  upon  the  closing  pages  of  last 
year's  history  we  dedicate  ourselves  anew  to  the  tremen 
dous  task  which  lies  before  us  to  assist  in  building  the 
church  of  Jesus  Christ  in  Japan a  church  of  martyr- 
loyalty.  The  martyr's  crown  so  recently  awarded  to  Ed 
Tritt  and  Walter  Erickson,  TEAM'S  first  missionaries  to 
Indonesia,  is  glowing  evidence  that  soon  we  shall  hear 
the  trumpet  sound  heralding  the  return  of  Him  upon 
whose  shoulders  the  governments  of  earth  shall  be  laid. 

Under  the  leadership  of  Fredrik  Franson,  The  Evan 
gelical  Alliance  Mission  entered  Japan  with  fifteen  mis 
sionaries  on  November  23,  1891.  The  last  missionaries 
of  this  early  group  arrived  in  1913  in  the  persons  of 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  C.  E.  Carlson.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  C.  E. 
Carlson  are  still  on  the  field  and  represent  the  only 
senior  TEAM  missionaries  of  that  early  era.  From  1913 
until  the  year  1941  the  missionary  force  never  exceeded 
more  than  six  missionaries.  These  missionaries,  however,

THE  EVANGELICAL  ALLIANCE  MISSION  219 

sowed  the  seed  and  churches  were  planted.  The  years 
immediately  following  the  war  were  years  of  reconstruc 
tion.  They  were  hard  years  as  everybody  knows. 
Churches  had  been  destroyed,  flocks  had  been  scattered, 
pastors  had  been  either  killed  or  dispersed,  and  the  enemy 
had  come  in  like  a  flood. 

The  work  of  reconstruction  was  slow  and  the  time 
spent  in  prayer  to  ascertain  God's  will  for  the  Mission 
was  endless.  Young  people  from  virtually  every  Chris 
tian  college  and  Bible  school  in  the  United  States  and 
Canada  answered  the  challenge  of  the  Great  Commission 
until  today  we  have  over  157  adult  missionaries  in  Japan. 
Regardless  of  the  fact  that  the  average  age  of  our  mis 
sionaries  is  about  twenty-eight  years,  we  are  a  forward- 
moving  mission  with  many  plans  for  the  future. 

We  have  established  the  Word  of  Life  Press  which 
is  engaged  in  producing  a  tremendous  amount  of  thor 
oughly  evangelical  literature.  One  of  our  missionary 
units,  recently  evacuated  from  China,  has  established  the 
Japan  Sunday  School  Union.  Other  units,  well  qualified 
in  radio,  have  placed  the  Gospel  on  the  air  through  a 
large  number  of  commercial  radio  stations.  We  have 
several  teachers  in  the  Christian  Day  School  as  well  as 
a  missionary  staff  working  with  our  Japanese  pastors  in  the 
Alliance  Bible  Institute.  Plans  are  under  way  to  establish 
a  Christian  college  in  Formosa  as  well  as  in  Japan. 
TEAM  has  decided  to  enter  Korea,  and  the  first  of  our 
group  will  leave  this  spring.  Heading  this  new  work 


220  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

will  be  Thomas  Watson  who  is  waiting  permission  from 
the  Korean  government  to  begin  construction  of  a  100,000 
watt  standard-band  broadcasting  station  which  will  beam 
the  Gospel  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  in  four  Oriental 
languages  to  the  ordinary  receiving  sets  of  Korea,  Japan, 
China,  Manchuria,  and  parts  of  the  USSR. 

We  have  established  TEAM-AVED,  the  Audio-visual 
Education  Department  which  is  designed  to  produce  evan 
gelical  films  and  slides  for  use  here  in  Japan  as  well  as 
in  the  countries  from  which  our  missionaries  come. 
Functioning  under  TEAM-AVED  we  have  TEAM  Press 
Ass'n,  which  is  designed  to  facilitate  news-gathering  of 
a  nature  germain  to  missionary  work  and  to  disseminate 
same  to  the  various  mission  periodicals,  newspapers  and 
other  organs  of  information  of  missionary  interest.  We 
have  established  a  Follow-up  Agency  whose  purpose  is 
to  correlate  the  work  of  our  vast  tract  distribution 
program,  as  well  as  our  multitude  of  country  and  city 
evangelistic  meetings.  We  have  no  less  than  twenty 
mobile  units  in  operation  as  well  as  five  tent  teams 
functioning.  We  have  founded  a  school  for  evangelists 
in  the  city  of  Shizuoka  to  help  furnish  personnel  for  our 
tent  teams  and  mobile  units.  We  have  two  UN  corres 
pondents  under  the  auspices  of  Christian  Life  magazine, 
as  well  as  a  number  of  others  who  are  not  accredited  to 
the  Far  East  Command.  We  are  in  active  cooperation 
with  the  Pocket  Testament  League,  Inter- Varsity  Christian 
Fellowship,  Navigators,  and  Youth  for  Christ.  Thus  far 


THE  EVANGELICAL  ALLIANCE  MISSION  221 

we  have  18  Japanese  pastors  and  19  churches. 

Realizing  that  a  missionary  is  impotent  without  a 
thorough  knowledge  of  the  language,  the  people  and 
their  customs,  Shintoism,  Buddhism,  and  even  com 
munism,  we  maintain  a  language  school  in  Karuizawa. 
Here  we  must  study  the  language  as  well  as  through  a 
committee  on  orientation  acquire  a  surface  knowledge 
of  the  nation  and  its  problems.  Perhaps  we  are  moving 
a  bit  slowly  in  this  matter,  but  we  are  trying  to  lay  a 
solid  foundation. 

It  is  our  goal,  in  cooperation  with  other  missions  of 
like  evangelical  position,  to  establish  a  church  of  martyr- 
loyalty  in  the  heart  of  this  people that  we  might  be 

able  to  say,  as  one  so  aptly  expressed  himself,  "  O  how 
I  love  to  hear  these  people  pray !  " 


THE  CHURCH  OF  GOD 

by  Arthur  R.  Eikamp 

The  Church  of  God  began  its  work  in  Japan  in  1908. 
Several  missionaries  came  to  Japan  for  varied  lengths 
of  service  during  the  next  twenty  years.  Dr.  Adam  W. 
Miller  was  the  last  prewar  missionary  of  the  Church  of 
God  in  Japan.  He  returned  to  America  in  1927  and  for 
the  next  twenty  years  the  leadership  of  the  Church  of 
God  was  entirely  indigenous. 

All  of  our  church  buildings  except  one  were  com 
pletely  destroyed  by  the  war.  After  the  war  the  Japanese 
church  asked  for  help  in  the  form  of  a  missionary  from 
America.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Arthur  Eikamp  were  the  first 
postwar  missionaries  of  the  Church  of  God  to  come  to 
Japan.  They  arrived  in  1949  and  were  joined  a  year  or 
so  later  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Nathan  Smith.  The  first  work 
of  the  missionaries  was  to  help  strengthen  the  few  con 
gregations  which  were  still  in  existence  after  the  war. 
This  was  done  without  regard  for  present  connections. 
Some  of  the  congregations  were  within  the  Kyodan  and 
some  were  not.  The  Mission  has  left  the  question  of 
affiliation  with  the  Kyodan  entirely  up  to  the  congrega 
tions. 

The  second  phase  of  the  mission  work  has  been  that 
of  evangelism  and  the  establishing  of  new  Sunday  Schools 
and  congregations.  The  number  of  Sunday  Schools  has 

222 


THE  CHURCH  OP  GOD  223 

shown  a  growth  of  approximately  300.%  and  the  atten 
dance  has  shown  a  growth  of  about  1,000%  since  1950. 
The  number  of  churches  has  shown  about  a  200^  growth 
and  the  attendance  in  the  churches  has  shown  about  a 
400^  growth. 

The  Church  of  God  has  established  a  mission  school, 
the  Tamagawa  Sei  Gakuin,  between  the  Jiyugaoka  and 
Kuhombutsu  stations  in  Setagaya.  This  is  a  girls'  junior 
high  school  and  high  school  as  well  as  a  co-educational 
night  school.  In  addition,  a  night  school  for  the  study 
of  English  has  been  established  at  the  same  location. 

Two  children's  homes  are  operated  by  members  of 
the  church  and  help  of  various  kinds  is  given  to  them 
by  the  Mission.  All  of  the  teachers  and  workers  are 
Christians  in  these  children's  homes. 

Our  hope  and  our  policy  has  always  been  that  of 
encouraging  the  church  to  be  self-supporting  and  to 
provide  its  own  leadership.  All  of  our  congregations  and 
Sunday  Schools  are  completely  self-supporting  with  the 
exception  of  one  Sunday  School  which  receives  some 
monthly  support  for  the  present.  We  need  young  minis 
ters  for  the  new  congregations  which  have  been  es 
tablished,  but  such  preparation  takes  time,  and  we  will 
continue  to  feel  that  need  for  some  time  in  spite  of 
the  fact  that  some  young  men  from  our  churches  are 
now  preparing  for  the  ministry. 

We  have  only  two  missionary  couples  in  Japan  at 
the  present  time,  though  we  hope  for  more  in  the  near 


224  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

future.  We  are  able  to  meet  the  needs  of  our  program 
only  by  utilizing  the  volunteer  help  of  laymen  of  the 
church  who  happen  to  be  in  Japan  for  one  reason  or 
another.  The  volunteer  work  of  consecrated  laymen  has 
been  responsible  for  a  considerable  share  of  whatever 
success  we  have  in  attaining  our  goals. 

We  have  plans  and  hopes  for  the  future  but  since 
the  future  is  in  the  hands  of  God  we  prefer  not  to  state 
those  plans  here  but  rather  to  wait  on  the  Lord  and  let 
Him  confirm  or  reject  those  plans  according  to  His 
wisdom. 


THE  ORIENTAL  MISSIONARY  SOCIETY 

by  Edwin  L.  Kilbourne 

The  Oriental  Missionary  Society  in  all  its  fields 
around  the  world  works  on  its  established  "  three-fold 
policy  "  of  establishing  Bible  institutes ;  establishing  an 
indigenous,  self-supporting  church  ;  and  an  Every  Crea 
ture  Gospel  Distribution  Crusade  in  which  it  seeks  to 
systematically  reach  every  home  in  the  nation. 

When  the  goal  of  a  self-supporting  indigenous  church 
has  been  attained,  the  foreign  missionary  staff  is  with 
drawn  and  only  an  affiliated  relationship  is  retained  be 
tween  the  church  and  the  establishing  mother  organization. 
This  status  was  reached  in  Japan  some  thirty  years  ago. 

The  Oriental  Missionary  Society  as  such  with  its 
missionary  personnel  returned  to  Japan  in  1949  at  the 
invitation  of  the  Japan  Holiness  Church  because  of  the 
mutual  feeling  that  we  could  help  in  the  difficult  post 
war  rehabilitation  of  the  church,  especially  in  the  rebuild 
ing  and  re-establishing  of  the  Tokyo  Bible  Seminary,  the 
training  center  for  the  national  workers  of  the  church. 

This  phase  of  our  objective  has  been  accomplished 
and  by  mutual  agreement  for  an  indefinite  period  there 
will  be  missionary  teacher  personnel  in  the  Seminary. 

1952  has  been  a  successful  year  in  the  Seminary  with 
the  regular  student  body  numbering  fifty-one  and  with 
a  faculty  of  nine  members  besides  school  officers.  Un-

fortunately  we  have  no  room  for  more  boarding  students 
and  we  are  now  contemplating  additional  dormitory  space 
for  fifty  students  to  thus  be  equipped  to  double  our 
student  body.  This  would  bring  the  number  to  near  the 
prewar  high  of  one  hundred  and  twenty-five. 

A  few  of  the  present  student  body  anticipate  further 
study  abroad  but  most  of  them  will  enter  the  ministry 
here  immediately  upon  graduation. 

There  is  a  two-year  Christian  workers'  course  and 
the  three-year  seminary  course.  A  special  intensive  one- 
year's  Rural  Evangelism  Course  is  now  contemplated  to 
train  workers  for  the  Every  Creature  Gospel  Distribution 
Crusade. 

About  thirty-six  years  ago  the  Oriental  Mission 
Society  inaugurated  an  Every  Creature  Crusade  and  in 
a  systematic  distribution  campaign  visited  more  than 
10,300,000  homes  of  Japan  and  in  each  gave  free  of  charge 
a  Gospel  portion  and  a  salvation  tract  with  prodigious 
results  in  the  salvation  of  souls  and  the  founding  of 
churches. 

With  a  new  generation  and  ripeness  like  unto  the 
wonderful  prewar  days,  The  Oriental  Missionary  Society 
has  felt  led  of  God  to  launch  again  into  a  similar  crusade 
but  with  a  definite  follow-up  plan  of  conservation  and 
church-establishing  as  the  distribution  campaign  is  carried 
on. 

During  1952  the  Crusade  teams  (four  in  number), 
each  with  a  tent  and  with  Gospel  cars  and  loud  speaker 


THE  ORIENTAL  MISSIONARY  SOCIETY  227 

equipment  headed  by  four  missionaries  each  with  a  band 
of  twelve  Japanese  co-workers,  have  been  working  in 
Chiba  Ken.  The  work  in  Chiba  Ken  has  just  been  com 
pleted — every  city,  town,  village  and  hamlet  and,  as  far 
as  can  be  practically  known,  every  home  has  been  visited 
and  the  literature  distributed.  Results  ?  Some  28  churches 
have  been  established,  an  average  of  about  one  new 
church  a  week,  as  a  result  of  this  visitation  work,  open- 
air  meetings  and  the  nightly  tent  services.  The  tents 
are  usually  pitched  for  a  period  of  from  4  to  6  weeks. 
These  "  churches  "  have  from  ten  to  sixty  or  seventy  in 
attendance  at  each  service.  More  thrilling  testimonies 
and  transformed  lives  it  would  be  difficult  to  hear  and 
see  anywhere  in  the  "  homelands  "  or  elsewhere.  It  has 
been  impossible  to  supply  pastors  for  all  these  new 
centers  and  some  ten  or  more  have  been  turned  over  to 
other  evangelical  organizations  in  Chiba  Ken.  These  new 
groups  provide  splendid  practical  "  training  grounds  "  for 
our  Bible  Seminary  students. 

Early  in  1953  six  new  Crusade  missionaries  are  com 
ing  from  the  U.  S.  A.  They  will  each  have  twelve 
Japanese  co-workers  and  the  regular  equipment.  We  are 
reorganizing  the  Crusade  somewhat  and  speeding  it  up 
with  the  objective  of  covering  all  Japan  within  a  maximum 
of  five  years  and  a  probable  minimum  of  three  years 
with  the  expectancy  of  some  250  newly  established  Japan 
Holiness  Church  groups  occupying  every  ken  in  the 
nation. 


228  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

The  Japan  Holiness  Church  now  has  80  churches,  is 
self-supporting  and  entirely  nationally  administered.  The 
task  of  the  Oriental  Missionary  Society  is  to  assist  in 
the  pioneer  work  through  the  "  Crusade,"  organizing 
groups  which  will  be  turned  over  to  the  Church  for 
development  into  groups  that  will  be  alive  and  effective 
evangelizing  centers. 

It  may  be  pointed  out  that  the  churches  supply  stu 
dents  for  the  Seminary  and  in  turn  the  Seminary  supplies 
preachers  and  pastors  to  open  and  maintain  more  churches. 
The  Seminary  is  our  foundation  and  if  it  produces  God's 
expectancy  of  effective  Christian  workers,  the  future  of 
the  work  and  its  constant  and  continued  growth  is  assured. 
Within  from  three  to  five  years  we  expect  to  see  the 
prewar  "  glory  "  of  the  "  former  house  "  surpassed  by 
"  the  latter  "  in  the  Church  in  which  it  has  been  our  privi 
lege  to  have  had  a  share  in  establishing  in  this  remarkable 
nation  now  so  rapidly  returning  to  its  place  in  the  family 
of  nations  and  of  leadership  in  the  Orient. 


THE  AMERICAN  ADVENT  MISSION 

by  Floyd  Powers 

Although  the  period  of  Advent  Christian  missionary 
activity  in  Japan  is  brief,  the  work  itself  has  a  history 
of  over  50  years.  In  1898  Masadoru  Iwagoe,  a  young 
businessman  who  had  been  converted  in  America, 
returned  to  his  home  town  of  Kurayoshi  in  Tottori  Ken 
to  establish  the  first  Advent  Christian  Church.  He  believed 
that  the  denomination's  emphases  on  the  early  return  of 
Christ,  the  resurrection  and  conditional  immortality  were 
needed  in  Japan.  He  carried  on  rather  extensive  rural 
evangelistic  work  in  that  area.  Later,  another  church 
was  established  in  Osaka  with  Kaoru  Haneda  serving  as 
pastor. 

It  was  not  until  after  the  war  in  December  of  1948 
that  the  first  foreign  workers,  Rev.  and  Mrs.  Frank 
Toothe,  came  directly  from  China  to  begin  the  work  of 
the  Mission.  They  settled  in  Sakai  City  where  a  third 
group  was  organized.  Since  then  10  new  workers  have 
arrived  in  Japan  and  have  been  engaged  largely  in 
language  study. 

The  emphasis  in  most  of  the  Mission's  work  has  been 
on  extension  through  the  local  Japanese  church  by  means 
of  branch  Sunday  Schools  and  Bible  classes. 

In  the  immediate  future,  a  program  of  expansion  is 
anticipated  especially  in  the  Tottori  Ken  area  where  the 

229 


230  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

work  had  its  origin.  Following  the  present  pattern  of 
the  Kurayoshi  work,  each  new  church  will  become  the 
center  for  extensive  rural  evangelism  in  its  own  area. 


THE  SWEDISH  MISSION  IN  CHINA 

by  J.  A.  Aspberg 

The  Swedish  Mission  in  China  was  founded  in  1887 
by  Erik  Folke,  a  young  university  student  who  had  heard 
the  call  of  God  to  preach  the  Gospel  in  China.  His  was 
the  first  of  several  Swedish  missions  that  took  up  work 
in  China  before  the  end  of  the  last  century.  Eventually 
he  became  an  associate  of  the  China  Inland  Mission,  and 
the  Swedish  Mission  in  China  developed  as  an  inter 
denominational  mission  without  church  work  in  the 
homeland,  the  missionaries  retaining  membership  in  their 
respective  home  churches.  After  over  sixty  years  of 
work  in  China  a  self-supporting  church  of  more  than 
12,000  communicant  members  was  left  behind  when  the 
political  situation  in  the  country  forced  the  missionaries 
to  leave  their  field  in  1949.  Some  of  the  missionaries 
went  home,  and  the  rest  arrived  in  Japan  in  the  spring 
of  1950. 

After  half  a  year  at  Karuizawa  the  missionaries 
moved  to  Numazu  and  Mishima  in  Shizuoka  Prefecture 
where  premises  had  been  bought  and  negotiations  with 
the  local  churches  had  resulted  in  an  agreement  to  co 
operate  with  a  view  to  strengthening  the  churches  from 
within  and  evangelizing  the  neighbouring  country  areas. 
In  1951  the  city  of  Fujinomiya  was  made  another  center 
for  work,  two  lady  workers  being  stationed  there, 

231 


232  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

Language  study  has  of  course  taken  a  large  share 
of  time  so  far.  As  regards  activities  in  cooperation  with 
the  local  churches,  a  weekly  Gospel  meeting  with  inter 
pretation  has  been  held  at  Numazu  since  the  beginning 
of  1951,  and  later  similar  meetings  have  been  held  re 
gularly  in  several  other  cities  and  towns.  English  Bible 
classes  have  been  conducted  for  students  of  several  high 
schools  and  at  Nippon  University  at  Mishima.  The  mission 
is  also  trying  to  open  up  some  new  country  centers  for 
the  Gospel.  But  here  are  experienced  great  difficulties 
because  the  local  churches  have  no  evangelists  or  Bible 
women  and  very  few  lay  workers  able  to  do  voluntary 
evangelistic  work. 

Work  among  the  children  in  several  kindergartens 
and  in  some  new  places,  visiting  the  patients  in  hospitals, 
sanatoria  and  a  leper  colony,  are  part  of  the  regular 
activities.  Missionaries  are  often  asked  to  preach  at 
Sunday  services  and  other  meetings.  A  theological 
society  has  been  organized,  and  several  pastors  come 
together  once  a  month  to  study  some  exegetical  or 
systematic  problem  under  the  guidance  of  a  missionary. 

One  missionary,  Mr.  Ake  Haglund,  has  been  loaned 
to  the  National  YMCA  of  Japan  where  he  is  doing  full- 
time  work  as  a  fraternal  secretary  for  Bible  study,  his 
salary  being  paid  by  the  Mission. 

As  a  Mission  the  Swedish  Mission  in  China  wants  to 
remain  a  free  evangelizing  agency,  and  because  it  is  not 
in  a  position  to  make  any  financial  contributions  to  church 


THE  SWEDISH  MISSION  IN  CHINA  233 

groups  or  other  affiliations,  its  independent  status  is  the 
only  feasible  modus  vivendi  for  such  a  group  of  mission 
workers.  Thus  from  the  start  this  Mission  has  been 
inclined  to  cooperate  with  already  existing  churches 
rather  than  founding  churches  of  its  own.  However,  the 
main  purpose  being  the  preaching  of  the  Gospel  to  those 
outside  the  church  and  winning  them  for  Christ,  future 
activities  in  this  respect  will  be  guided  and  decided  by 
the  measure  of  congenial  cooperation  and  willingness  and 
ability  to  reach  out  to  the  regions  beyond  that  is  accorded 
the  Mission  on  the  part  of  the  existing  churches. 

Coming  from  another  mission  field  and  having  as 
background  work  in  fairly  large  fast-growing  congrega 
tions,  the  viewpoints  of  this  Mission  are  necessarily  often 
not  identical  with  those  held  by  missionary  recruits  to  this 
country,  nor  even  identical  with  those  of  old-timers  who 
have  seen  missionary  work  only  in  Japan.  This  may  be 
both  a  strength  and  a  weakness,  and  certainly  it  is  not 
palatable  to  those  who  always  try  to  explain  the  slow 
progress  of  mission  work  in  Japan  by  the  slogan  that 
"  Japan  is  different."  However,  relations  with  the  Japa 
nese  pastors,  hard-working  and  courageous  men  as  they 
mostly  are,  have  been  most  cordial  so  far,  and  frank 
discussions  have  helped  to  make  both  sides  conscious  of 
existing  limitations  that  should  be  recognized  as  such 
and  removed  by  mutual  helpfulness  and  understanding 
as  far  as  this  is  at  all  possible. 

In  September,  1952,  some  seventy  Swedish  missionaries 


THE   CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

from  all  over  Japan  gathered  with  a  few  Norwegian 
colleagues  at  Gotemba  for  a  conference  to  exchange  ex 
periences  and  discuss  questions  of  common  interest  for 
the  future  work  of  Swedish  missions  in  Japan.  This 
conference  was  a  great  success.  No  Swedish  mission  has 
worked  in  Japan  until  after  the  last  war,  and  therefore 
many  problems  are  new.  Professor  Antei  Hiyane  gave 
two  lectures  on  Shintoism  and  Buddhism,  and  other 
sessions  were  occupied  with  the  question  of  language 
study  and  problems  in  evangelistic  work.  A  second  con 
ference  of  similar  nature  will  be  held  at  Gotemba  in 
September,  1953.  This  time  it  is  hoped  that  all  Scandi 
navian  missionaries  in  Japan  will  gather  around  the  burn 
ing  questions  of  missionary  work  in  Japan. 

Finally  a  word  about  the  name  of  this  Mission.  Re 
gulations  in  the  constitution  have  delayed  matters,  but 
later  this  year  it  is  hoped  that  announcement  will  be 
made  that  it  has  adopted  a  new  name,  viz.,  The  Swedish 
Evangelical  Orient  Mission.  In  the  homeland  it  shall  be 
known  as  the  Swedish  Mission  in  China  and  Japan,  thus 
giving  expression  to  a  hope  that  may  one  day  be  realized. 


THE  SWEDISH  EVANGELICAL  MISSION 
IN  JAPAN 

by  Folke  Persson 

The  Swedish  Evangelical  Mission  in  Japan  is  not  a 
new  and  young  mission  society.  It  is  over  fifty  years 
since  it  came  into  existence  and  began  work  in  Mongolia 
where  it  had  evangelistic  and  medical  work  both  in  Inner 
and  Outer  Mongolia  until  1924,  when  the  latter  part  came 
under  the  Red  regime.  After  that  time  work  has  been 
concentrated  on  Inner  Mongolia  where  social  and  edu 
cational  work  was  carried  out  hand  in  hand  with  an 
evangelistic  testimony.  That  continued  until  the  end  of 
World  War  II,  when  the  political  development  made  it 
impossible  for  any  missionaries  to  remain. 

Through  Dr.  Toyohiko  Kagawa's  visit  to  Sweden  in 
1949,  the  eyes  of  the  Mission  Board  were  definitely  turned 
on  Japan  with  its  unique  challenge  and  open  door  for 
evangelical  work. 

In  the  very  early  part  of  1951  the  first  missionaries 
arrived  in  Japan  from  Hong  Kong  where  they  had  taken 
refuge  after  leaving  Mongolia.  By  June  the  same  year 
8  missionaries  of  regular  appointment  made  up  its  re 
presentation. 

The  Mission  has  been  known  as  the  Swedish  Mongol 
Mission,  its  work  concentrated  on  Mongolia  only.  For 
reasons  very  well  understandable  the  missionary  body 

235 


236  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

together  with  the  home  board  agreed  to  change  its  name 
t  o  Swedish  Evangelical  Mission  in  Japan. 

As  the  Mission's  former  work  had  been  conducted 
under  hard  working  conditions,  severe  winters  and  an 
extremely  scattered  population,  there  was  a  natural  strong 
pull  toward  Hokkaido,  both  at  home  and  among  most  of 
the  workers  now  in  Japan.  It  was  therefore  quite  natural 
that,  when  confronted  with  a  choice  of  working  in  the 
south  or  in  the  north  of  Japan,  the  choice  would  be 
Hokkaido  where  the  need  at  that  time  also  seemed  to 
be  the  greatest. 

This  Mission  is  an  "  alliance "  of  friends  from  dif 
ferent  denominations  and  with  no  supporting  churches. 
Its  only  organizations  are  the  home  board  in  Stockholm, 
Sweden,  and  the  missionary  conference  on  the  field.  It 
has  an  evangelical  testimony  and  is  conservative  in  its 
theology.  In  Japan  its  work  is  purely  direct  Bible-teach 
ing  with  no  schools  and  medical  centers. 

The  Mission's  prime  and  foremost  purpose  is  to  win 
souls  for  Jesus  Christ  and  to  do  its  part  in  building  a 
spiritually  strong  and  active  national  church  in  Japan. 


THE  SWEDISH  ALLIANCE  MISSION 

by  Erik  Wiberg 

When  it  became  apparent  that  China  would  become 
closed  as  a  mission  field,  the  Swedish  Alliance  Mission 
took  action  to  open  up  a  new  field,  and  this  time  in 
Japan.  These  first  missionaries  were  sent  to  this  country 
in  the  summer  of  1951.  They  were  led  to  take  up  work 
in  the  cities  of  Hamamatsu  and  Toyohashi  with  surround 
ing  districts  on  opposite  sides  of  the  border  line  between 
Shizuoka  and  Aichi  prefectures.  Since  then  work  has 
also  been  started  in  the  cities  of  Iwata,  Toyokawa  and 
Okazaki. 

Up  to  the  end  of  1952,  15  missionaries  had  arrived 
on  this  field,  some  from  China  and  others  from  the  home 
country.  Of  the  newcomers,  five  have  devoted  themselves 
to  language  studies  in  Tokyo  during  most  of  last  year. 
Since  three  members  have  left  the  field  during  the  year, 
the  present  body  represents  only  about  half  the  number 
of  the  foreign  workers  of  the  Swedish  Alliance  Mission 
in  China.  However,  this  small  number  can  probably  not 
be  increased  at  present  due  to  monetary  restrictions 
imposed  by  the  Swedish  government. 

The  S.  A.  M.  in  Japan  has  made  it  its  goal  to  preach 
the  Gospel  of  Jesus  Christ  and  to  teach  the  Word  of 
God  in  cooperation  with  all  evangelical  churches  who 
so  desire.  No  church  is  to  be  established  in  the  name 

237 


238  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

of  the  S.  A.  M.,  no  church  building  is  to  be  erected  by 
Mission  funds.  When  and  where  Christians  will  be 
encouraged  to  establish  churches,  these  should  from  the 
beginning  be  self-governing,  self-supporting  and  self-ex 
tending.  This  policy  has  been  dictated  by  experiences 
made  during  50  years  in  China. 

During  1952  the  work  of  the  Mission  in  Japan  has 
been  concentrated  mainly  on  Sunday  schools,  Bible  classes 
and  evangelistic  work  in  general.  The  results  have  been 
promising  and  the  interest  on  the  part  of  the  Japanese 
young  people  has  been  as  great  as  in  the  beginning  of 
the  work  here.  No  "  reaction "  has  been  noticed  after 
Japan  has  again  become  an  independent  country. 

After  careful  consideration  it  has  been  decided  to 
encourage  the  converts  of  the  Mission  to  establish 
churches  in  connection  with  the  Nippon  Domei  Kirisuto 
Kyodan,  the  latter,  though  indirectly,  also  being  a  fruit 
of  the  work  of  Rev.  Fredrik  Fransson,  the  founder  of 
the  Swedish  Alliance  Mission.  Several  churches  either 
have  been  established  or  are  in  the  making. 


THE  CENTRAL  JAPAN  PIONEER 
MISSION 

by  Thelma  Sterry 

The  C.  J.  P.  M.  was  founded  in  1925  by  the  late  Miss 
M.  A.  Burnet  for  work  among  the  then  largely  untouched 
central  provinces  of  Japan.  By  the  outbreak  of  war  work 
was  carried  on  in  five  kens  by  seven  missionaries  and 
twenty  Japanese  workers,  most  of  whom  had  been  trained 
in  the  Mission's  own  Bible  School.  During  the  war  years 
two  of  the  missionaries — Miss  Burnet  and  Miss  Parr — 
were  interned  in  the  Mission  Headquarters,  being  evacuat 
ed  home  in  November,  1945. 

On  their  return  to  this  country  in  1947  only  six  of 
the  Japanese  workers  were  left,  and  many  of  the  con 
gregations  had  been  scattered  by  the  claims  of  war  work. 
Gradually  the  work  was  built  up  again,  and  by  the  end 
of  1952  there  were  twenty-four  Japanese  workers,  and 
thirteen  new  missionaries  from  various  countries  had 
joined  the  Mission.  The  death  of  Miss  Burnet  in  July, 
1951,  necessitated  the  formation  of  a  Field  Committee, 
and  1952  was  the  first  full  year  under  the  new  administra 
tion. 

The  work  is  now  carried  on  in  four  kens—  Gumma, 
Tochigi,  Saitama  and  Shizuoka —  and  apart  from  the 
headquarters  in  Maebashi  we  have  missionaries  in  three 
other  towns  with  more  about  to  move  out.  During  the 

239 


240  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

year  two  churches  acquired  their  own  buildings  bringing 
the  number  of  church  buildings  up  to  twelve,  while  there 
are  about  ten  more  congregations  meeting  regularly.  In 
addition  to  these,  Bible  students,  pastors  and  missionaries 
are  engaged  in  pioneer  evangelism  in  the  surrounding 
districts. 

The  churches  connected  with  the  Mission  are  formed 
into  the  Fukuin  Dendo  Kyodan  (Alliance  of  Gospel 
Churches).  This  body,  the  fruit  of  the  Mission,  is  self- 
propagating,  and  although  aid  was  necessary  after  the 
war  it  is  now  gradually  attaining  self-support. 

The  Bible  School  was  re-started  in  1948  and  provides 
a  three-year  course  for  both  men  and  women.  It  includes 
Greek,  English  and  music  as  well  as  the  Biblical  and 
doctrinal  subjects. 

Attached  to  the  Fukuin  Dendo  Kyodan  is  a  Literature 
Department  which  produces  in  addition  to  books  and 
tracts  the  "  Fukuin  Shimbun  "  ("  Gospel  Newspaper  ") ,  of 
ficial  organ  of  the  F.  D.  K.  It  has  a  growing  circulation 
not  only  in  Japan  but  also  among  the  Japanese  of 
Okinawa  and  North  America. 

During  1952  apart  from  the  regular  services  in  the 
various  churches  many  additional  meetings  were  held. 
In  January  and  August  at  the  annual  Winter  and  Summer 
Bible  Schools  Christians  from  the  various  churches 
gathered  for  instruction  in  the  deep  things  of  the  Word. 
April  saw  a  conference  held  for  the  deepening  of 
the  spiritual  life,  which  was  attended  by  about  200  in 


THE  CENTRAL  JAPAN  PIONEER  MISSION 


241 


all ;  the  cost  of  these  three  conferences  was  met  by 
the  Christians  themselves.  Then,  too,  twenty  of  the 
churches  held  special  evangelistic  campaigns  as  a  result 
of  which  church  membership  has  been  increased  and  a 
growing  burden  for  evangelism  given  to  all. 

Plans  are  afoot  for  launching  out  into  a  number  of 
as  yet  unreached  towns  and  villages,  and  both  foreign 
and  Japanese  workers  not  only  have  a  burden  for,  but  a 
growing  expectation  of,  revival  blessings  throughout  the 
whole  work  of  the  Mission  in  this  coming  year. 


THE  JAPAN  APOSTOLIC  MISSION 

by  Leonard  W.  Coote 

The  Japan  Apostolic  Mission  dates  back  to  the  year 
before  the  outbreak  of  World  War  I  when  a  young  English 
businessman,  a  professing  atheist,  came  to  Japan  to  work 
as  a  secretary  with  Lever  Brothers,  soap  manufacturers. 
Deeply  influenced  by  the  life  of  Rev.  J.  B.  Thornton  as 
he  stayed  in  the  missionary  home  under  his  charge, 
Leonard  W.  Coote  was  thoroughly  converted  and  made 
a  full  surrender  to  take  the  Bible  as  his  rule  of  life. 

It  was  not  very  long  before  two  or  three  mission 
halls  were  opened  in  and  around  the  city  of  Kobe  where 
Leonard  Coote  continued  his  employment,  working  in  the 
daytime  and  working  for  the  Lord  in  the  evenings. 

At  the  close  of  his  five  years'  business  contract  he 
heard  the  voice  of  God  calling  him  into  direct  missionary 
work  in  Japan,  eventually  leading  him  to  arrange  for 
the  mission  now  known  as  Japan  Apostolic  Mission,  with 
headquarters  at  Ikoma,  Nara  Prefecture. 

Specializing  in  mass  evangelism  with  evangelistic 
centers  at  Osaka  and  Kyoto,  large  tent  meetings,  house 
to  house  campaigns  in  the  rural  districts  and  smaller 
towns,  Japan  Apostolic  Mission  also  maintains  a  Native 
Evangelistic  Training  School  at  Ikoma.  Students  receive 
intense  training  in  the  Word  and  evangelistic  methods 
in  the  mornings  and  engage  in  evangelistic  activities 

242 


THE  JAPAN  APOSTOLIC  MISSION  243 

in  the  afternoons  and  evenings.  The  students  do  the 
major  part  of  the  work  in  the  printing  department  which 
is  given  over  to  evangelical  publications  in  the  Japanese 
language. 

Mr.  Coote  has  asked  God  for  the  privilege  of  bring 
ing  to  Japan  50  European  missionaries  after  the  war,  and 
more  than  half  of  this  number  have  arrived.  They  spend 
the  first  year  of  training  in  the  language  on  the  campus 
of  Ikoma  Bible  College  before  going  out  into  the  work 
themselves. 

Japan  Apostolic  Mission  is  an  independent  faith  work 
without  any  resources  in  homeland  organizations  or 
churches,  trusting  God  implicitly  for  the  support  of  the 
work  as  a  whole. 


THE  JAPAN  GOSPEL  FELLOWSHIP 

The  first  two  missionaries  of  the  Japan  Gospel  Fellow 
ship,  Miss  Anne  M.  Pfaff  and  Miss  Esther  Stearns  Bower, 
had  had  six  years'  experience  in  Japan.  Two  of  these 
years  were  spent  in  helping  in  another  mission;  two 
were  spent  in  intensive  language  study  (and  during  these 
years  they  began  evangelistic  work  among  children  with 
Sunday  School  classes,  a  children's  paper  published  in 
Japanese,  and  an  English  Bible  class)  ;  the  last  two  years 
were  war  years  (1941-1943),  and  one  of  these  was  spent 
in  an  internment  camp  in  Tokyo. 

Miss  Bower  was  the  first  to  return  to  Japan  under 
the  newly  organized  Japan  Gospel  Fellowship  in  May, 
1947.  She  was  joined  in  September,  1947,  by  Miss  Julia 
Motoyama,  who  was  the  first  Japanese-American  mis 
sionary.  Two  years  later  six  other  missionaries,  includ 
ing  Miss  Pfaff,  came  and  since  then  the  number  has 
increased  to  thirteen  now  on  the  field  or  on  furlough. 

The  headquarters  of  the  JGF  are  at  Hamadera  in 
Osaka  Fu,  but  there  are  churches,  Sunday  Schools  and 
other  evangelistic  work  in  Osaka,  Kyoto  and  Kishiwada. 
In  Hamadera  and  Kyoto  we  have  evening  Bible  schools. 
In  1953  Hamadera  will  graduate  its  first  class  of  students. 

Also  in  Hamadera  is  a  large  kindergarten  which  the 
Lord  is  using  not  only  to  get  the  Gospel  to  children  who 
would  not  otherwise  come  to  Sunday  School,  but  also  to 

244 


THE  JAPAN  GOSPEL  FELLOWSHIP  245 

reach  the  mothers  and  fathers  who  would  not  attend 
church  and  who  many  times  are  inaccessible  by  visitation. 
In  the  Mission  Home  in  Hamadera  there  is  a  small 
orphanage  where  orphaned  or  unwanted  little  girls  find 
a  home  and  Christian  love. 

In  1953  the  Japan  Gospel  Fellowship  hopes  to  enlarge 
its  work  in  the  areas  already  started  and  to  extend  to 
the  "  regions  beyond  "  its  present  stations  and  reach  many 
more  for  Christ. 


THE  JAPAN  INLAND  MISSION 

by  Hugh  Kennedy 

February  8,  1949,  will  always  be  an  important  date 
in  the  history  of  the  Japan  Inland  Mission  for  on  that  day 
the  Mission  first  began  to  function  in  Japan  under  that 
name.  However,  this  work  had  its  earliest  beginnings  in 
1931  when  Mrs.  Kennedy,  then  Miss  Hoskins,  a  missionary 
of  the  Elim  Missionary  Alliance,  London,  arrived  in  Japan 
and  later  opened  a  work  in  the  rural  town  of  Kakogawa 
and  districts  in  Hyogo  Prefecture. 

This  evangelical  and  kindergarten  work  continued 
steadily  until  1940  when  conditions  became  very  unfavour 
able  for  effective  Christian  work,  and  missionary  personnel 
had  to  choose  between  possible  concentration  camps  or 
evacuation.  Thus  Mrs.  Kennedy,  very  reluctantly,  had 
to  leave  the  work  and  board  the  last  evacuation  ship  for 
Australia,  since  the  journey  to  England  was  considered 
too  dangerous  at  that  particular  time.  Arriving  in 
Australia  she  continued  Christian  work  there,  always  with 
the  hope  of  some  day  returning  to  the  land  of  her  adop 
tion  again.  After  the  surrender  of  Japan  in  1945  the 
Mission  applied  for  permission  to  enter  this  country,  but 
it  was  some  time  before  this  was  granted.  Just  about 
that  time  our  Mission  was  re-organized,  the  present  name 
adopted,  with  Home  Council  in  Melbourne  and  repre 
sentatives  in  each  Australian  state,  New  Zealand  and 

246 


THE  JAPAN  INLAND  MISSION  247 

the  British  Isles. 

t 

Then  in  1948  the  way  finally  opened  up  for  entering 
Japan.  Missionaries  arrived  on  February  8,  1949,  and 
proceeded  at  once  to  Kyoto  which  has  since  become 
headquarters.  With  all  previous  work  and  equipment 
lost  during  the  war  it  was  necessary  to  lay  the  founda 
tions  of  an  entirely  new  work.  After  two  years  of  steady 
progress  they  were  able  to  build  a  small  chapel  to  ac 
commodate  the  Christians.  The  prime  purpose  of  the 
Japan  Inland  Mission  is  to  promote  the  spread  of 
Christianity  in  this  country  by  the  faithful  proclamation 
of  the  Gospel,  through  tract  distribution  and  also  Chris 
tian  literature.  In  addition  to  weekly  church  services 
and  Sunday  Schools,  regular  meetings  are  held  in  schools 
for  the  blind  and  nearby  factories.  Visits  to  rural  dis 
tricts  have  been  made  over  the  past  years  with  a  view 
to  establishing  a  work  there  this  spring.  In  1952  a  small 
kindergarten  was  started  for  the  benefit  of  the  neigh 
bouring  children  and  its  influence  is  definitely  felt  in 
many  homes.  A  monthly  Gospel  meeting  for  women  is 
well-attended  and  bearing  witness  in  this  district. 

In  May,  1951,  Miss  Att water  of  Ipswich,  England, 
joined  us  in  the  Mission  in  Kyoto  and  has  since  been 
studying  the  language  with  the  aim  of  doing  effectual 
evangelical  rural  work  in  (he  near  future. 

The  only  work  in  English  is  a  Bible  class  held  once 
a  week.  Teachers,  university  students  and  others  attend 
and  testify  to  blessings  received.  Also  many  have  con- 


248  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

tinued  to  attend  the  church  services.  The  Japan  Inland 
Mission  is  an  un-denominational  and  evangelical  faith 
mission — believing  the  Bible  to  be  the  inspired  Word  of 
God  and  the  Gospel  "  the  power  of  God  unto  salvation  to 
all  who  believe."  (Rom.  1 : 16) 


THE  WORLDWIDE  EVANGELIZATION 
CRUSADE 

The  W.  E.  C.,  as  it  is  commonly  called,  is  an  inter 
denominational  and  evangelical  missionary  fellowship 
founded  by  C.  T.  Studd,  noted  English  athlete  and  one 
of  the  famous  "  Cambridge  Seven  "  who  stirred  England 
and  the  missionary  world  in  1885  with  the  challenge  of 
the  regions  beyond,  and  who  went  out  to  China  as  pioneer 
missionaries.  Later  Mr.  Studd  went  to  India,  and  then 
to  the  heart  of  Africa  where  he  established  the  Heart 
of  Africa  Mission  in  the  Belgian  Congo  in  1914,  the  first 
field  of  the  Crusade.  His  life  was  unique  in  complete 
abandonment  to  the  task  of  pioneering  for  God,  and  his 
vision  was  for  a  worldwide  work — in  which  W.  E.  C.  follows 
on.  The  aim  is  the  evangelization  of  the  remaining  un- 
evangelized  parts  of  the  world  in  the  shortest  possible 
time. 

Since  C.  T.  Studd's  death  in  1931,  W.  E.  C.  has  ex 
panded  its  fields  until  they  now  number  a  total  of  20 
fields.  It  has  three  major  home  bases — London,  England, 
Philadelphia,  U.  S.  A.,  and  Sydney,  Australia — from  which 
missionaries  are  sent  to  all  these  fields.  The  Mission 
deals  in  three  branches  of  work :  evangelism,  medical 
and  literature.  Of  these,  two  branches  (evangelism  and 
literature)  are  working  now  in  Japan.  Our  personnel  now 
totals  about  450  working  in  all  foreign  fields  and  home 

249 


250  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

bases. 

W.  E.  C.'s  latest  field,  Japan,  was  opened  by  the 
arrival  of  Mr.  &  Mrs.  Lon  Fulton,  director  of  the  evan 
gelistic  work,  and  Mr.  Ray  Oram,  director  of  the  literature 
work,  in  October,  1951.  Over  a  period  of  little  more  than 
2.'i  years  the  Mission  has  grown  to  the  total  of  17  mis 
sionaries.  Practically  all  of  these  have  spent  the  greater 
part  of  their  time  in  Japan  to  date  studying  the  language. 
Practical  work  has  been  limited  to  the  area  around  the 
headquarters  in  Gokanosho,  Shiga  Ken.  There  are  now 
small  churches  in  three  villages,  but  the  real  expansion 
of  the  work  will  begin  in  the  spring  of  1953.  The  Mission 
intends  first  to  spread  the  work  in  Shiga  Ken  and  Nara 
Ken.  There  is  in  Shiga  Ken  a  population  of  over  860,000 
with  only  about  1,200  Christians.  There  is  only  one  other 
missionary  society  with  one  missionary  operating  in  this 
province,  so  there  is  yet  much  to  be  done.  The  Mission 
expects  to  open  up  three  major  centers  in  1958  from 
which  future  expansion  will  be  into  villages  and  rural 
areas.  Primary  emphasis  is  on  the  rural  area  which  is 
yet  very  much  neglected.  W.  E.  C.  hopes  also  to  open 
up  one  central  station  in  the  southern  half  of  Nara  Ken, 
from  which  future  Nara  Ken  work  will  spread.  So  much 
for  the  extensive. 

In  the  realm  of  the  intensive,  the  final  and  more 
effective  spread  of  the  Gospel  will  be  done  by  lay  workers. 
W.  E.  C.  emphasis  is  that  every  Christian  should  be  a 
witnessing  Christian  and  to  this  end  there  are  plans  for 


THE  WORLDWIDE  EVANGELIZATION  CRUSADE      251 

a  concentrated  short-term  Bible  study  course  for  inter 
ested  Christian  laymen  who  will  then  carry  on  a  witness 
for  Christ  from  their  own  shops  or  farms  in  their  own 
villages.  Too,  any  churches  W.  E.  C.  establishes  will  be 
guided  as  rapidly  as  possibly  towards  an  indigenous  status 
—self-propagating,  self-supporting  and  self-governing. 
It  is  the  prayer  of  W.  E.  C.  that  God  will  speedily  raise 
up  a  strong  Spirit-filled  national  movement  on  the  part 
of  both  clergy  and  laity.  To  this  end  the  Mission  is 
attempting  to  guide  plans  and  efforts. 


THE  JAPAN  EVANGELISTIC  BAND 

by  F.  Tipton  Williams 

This  is  the  year  of  Jubilee  for  the  Japan  Evangelistic 
Band,  although  its  founders — Rev.  Barclay  F.  Buxton 
and  Mr.  Paget  Wilkes — were  missionaries  here  some 
fifteen  years  prior  to  the  founding  of  the  Band  in  1903. 
Both  felt  that  there  was  a  need  for  a  "  band  "  of  Japan 
ese  and  missionary  workers  who  would  devote  their 
energies  in  an  interdenominational  manner  to  the  follow 
ing  three  purposes :  (1)  The  exercise  of  a  spiritual  minis 
try  amongst  the  existing  churches  by  the  holding  of 
conventions  for  the  deepening  of  the  spiritual  life,  special 
evangelistic  campaigns,  tent  missions  and  children's  meet 
ings.  (2)  Going  out  to  the  unreached  country  areas, 
towns  and  villages,  with  the  Gospel  message.  Meetings 
in  public  halls  and  private  homes,  street  meetings,  tract- 
evangelism,  Bible  classes,  Scriptural  "  kamishibai "  for 
the  children  (young  and  old),  and  tent  missions  are  all 
used  with  the  sole  object  of  reaching  the  Japanese  with 
the  Bread  of  Life.  (3)  The  training  of  young  men  and 
women  for  a  ministry  amongst  their  own  people,  parti 
cularly  the  training  of  evangelists  and  Bible  women. 

During  the  past  fifty  years  the  above  three  aims  have 
been  signally  blessed  of  God. 

The  personnel  of  the  J.E.B.  at  present  consists  of 
252 


THE  JAPAN  EVANGELISTIC  BAND  253 

some  20  missionaries  and  16  Japanese  evangelists  and 
Bible  women,  besides  the  Japanese  staff  of  the  Bible 
School.  These  workers  are  now  operating  in  Aichi, 
Kyoto,  Shiga,  Hyogo,  Osaka,  Okayama  and  Tokushima 
(Shikoku)  prefectures.  Without  exception  they  are  living 
in  country  areas  where  there  is  a  large  population  un 
touched  by  the  Gospel.  The  older  missionaries  are  often 
called  upon  by  other  outside  groups  to  assist  them  in 
conventions,  evangelistic  campaigns,  etc.,  from  time  to 
time.  The  Band  considers  it  a  high  privilege  thus  to 
minister  amongst  the  established  churches.  Much  spiritual 
fruit  has  resulted. 

Special  work  is  carried  on  amongst  students  (Miss  I. 
Webster  Smith)  and  railway  men  (Mr.  Luke) .  in  addition 
to  general  evangelism. 

Nov.  16,  1952,  witnessed  the  reopening  of  the  Kobe 
Mission  Hall  and  every  night.  Mondays  excepted,  Gospel 
meetings  are  held.  This  is  situated  in  the  heart  of  Kobe's 
pleasure  district.  It  is  as  a  "  light  set  upon  a  hill "  in 
the  midst  of  cafes,  gambling  dens  and  houses  of  vice. 
Thousands  pass  the  doors  of  the  hall  nightly.  The  two 
evangelists  and  the  missionary,  together  with  a  number 
of  students  from  our  Bible  School,  commence  with  a 
prayer-gathering,  then  go  out  to  the  front  of  the  hall 
for  a  street  meeting.  This  usually  lasts  about  30  minutes 
and  is  immediately  followed  by  an  indoor  meeting.  The 
center  doors  of  the  main  hall  are  left  open  during  the 
opening  part  of  the  indoor  meeting  so  as  to  permit  the 


254  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

passer-by  not  only  to  see  what  is  going  on  but  also  to 
hear  the  words  of  the  songs  being  sung  or  the  word  of 
invitation  to  enter.  Because  of  this  ministry  in  the  Shin- 
kaichi  area  for  more  than  40  years,  wherever  one  goes 
in  the  Kansai  and  Chugoku  districts  one  meets  people 
who  have  heard  the  Gospel  in  the  Kobe  Mission  Hall.  The 
missionaries  praise  God  for  the  fact  that  a  number  of 
churches  have  been  formed  as  the  result  of  the  work  of 
the  Mission  Hall.  It  has  been  interesting  and  encouraging 
in  the  past  to  hear  from  people  who  heard  the  precious 
message  of  salvation  for  the  first  time  within  its  walls 
and  through  the  power  of  the  Holy  Ghost  have  been 
truly  born  again. 

The  J.E.B.  has  always  utilized  the  printed  page  as  a 
means  of  evangelism  and  is  happy  to  say  that  the  late 
Mr.  Paget  Wilkes'  "  Dynamic "  series  is  once  more 
available  in  Japanese :  "  Dynamic  of  Service  "  ;  "  Dynamic 
of  Faith  "  ;  "  Dynamic  of  Redemption^".  The  Rev.  Goro 
Sawamura's  "  Guide  to  Faith,"  "  Guide  to  Christianity,"  as 
well  as  a  series  of  ten  4-page  tracts  have  been  printed. 

As  stated  above,  the  third  object  of  the  Band  is  the 
training  of  men  and  women  to  serve  the  cause  of  Christ. 
Our  founders  laid  great  stress  upon  this  aspect  of  the 
work,  and  there  is  much  cause  for  praise  to  God  as  one 
sees  the  graduates  of  the  Bible  School  in  all  branches 
of  the  Church  of  God  in  Japan.  Many  now  are  mature 
ministers  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  faithfully  serving  Him 
and  His  Church  and  seeking  always  to  lead  others  to  the 


THE  JAPAN  EVANGELISTIC  BAND  255 

Saviour. 

There  are  more  than  30  of  the  graduates  of  the  J.E.B. 
Kansai  Seisho  Gakko  (Shioya)  who  are  now  serving  in 
the  Christian  ministry  in  Korea.  One  was  put  to  death 
by  the  communists,  and  others  are  still  labouring  for  the 
Master  amidst  untold  misery  and  want. 

Thirty-two  students  are  studying  this  year,  but  five 
will  graduate  in  March.  Of  these  five,  four  are  to  return 
to  their  home  areas.  One  will  enter  the  ranks  of  the 
J.E.B. 


THE  CHRISTIAN  CATHOLIC  CHURCH 

by  Clark  Offner 

Since  missionaries  of  the  Christian  Catholic  Church 
first  came  to  Japan  in  1951  and  have  spent  their  time 
until  the  present  in  language  school,  there  is  little  to 
report  concerning  mission  work  to  date.  However,  these 
missionaries  are  eager  to  clarify  the  position  of  their 
church  for  those  who  are  not  acquainted  with  it  lest  they 
be  mistaken  for  or  identified  with  something  which  they 
are  not. 

The  Christian  Catholic  Church  was  organized  in 
Chicago  in  1896.  Its  basis  of  fellowship  was  purposely 
made  broad  enough  to  include  all  true  Christians  of 
whatever  theological  or  doctrinal  background.  It  is  thus 
that  the  name  "  Christian  Catholic  Church  "  was  chosen 
to  identify  this  fellowship,  emphasizing  its  universal  or 
general  character  and  welcoming  into  its  fellowship  all 
Christians  willing  to  unite  on  the  following  broad  basis 
of  fellowship: 

(1)  The  Bible  is  the  inspired  Word  of  God — the  rule 
of  faith  and  practice ; 

(2)  Church  membership  is  limited  to  those  who  have 
repented  of  their  sins  and   are   trusting   in  Christ 
for  salvation ; 

(3)  Members   must  be  able  to  make  a  good  profes 
sion — declaring  that  they  do  know  that  they  have 

256 


THE  CHRISTIAN  CATHOLIC  CHURCH  257 

truly  repented,  are  truly  trusting  Christ,  and  have 
the  witness,  in  a  measure,  of  the  Holy  Spirit ; 
(4)     All  other  questions  of  any  kind  are  held    to    be 
matters   of   opinion   and   not  matters  that  are  es 
sential  to  church  unity. 

What,  then,  was  the  historical  reason  for  the  forma 
tion  of  the  Christian  Catholic  Church?  It  was  organized 
with  the  hope  of  injecting  into  the  Christian  Church  as 
a  whole  a  new  spiritual  vitality  and,  in  particular,  to 
restore  to  the  church  the  teaching  of  divine  healing. 
The  founder,  Dr.  John  Alexander  Dowie,  was  used  of 
God  in  a  special  way  to  bring  about  healings  in  answer 
to  prayer.  The  privilege  of  Christians  to  trust  God  for 
physical  healing  was  considered  a  vital  (but  lost)  part 
of  the  Christian  Gospel,  and  through  the  years  it 
has  been  a  particular  emphasis  of  the  Christian  Catholic 
Church. 

In  Japan  these  missionaries  desire  to  work  in  areas 
where  there  is  presently  no  Christian  church.  Although 
they  have  no  official  relationship  with  any  larger  Chris 
tian  organization  or  fellowship,  they  are  very  happy  to 
work  with  any  groups  or  individuals  who  are  sincerely 
seeking  the  common  goal  of  bringing  men  to  repentance 
for  sin,  faith  in  Christ  for  salvation  and  a  life  dedicated 
to  him. 


THE  POCKET  TESTAMENT 
LEAGUE 

When  General  Douglas  MacArthur  in  1949  challenged 
the  Pocket  Testament  League  with  the  tremendous  need 
for  the  Word  of  God  to  be  placed  at  the  disposal  of  the 
Japanese  people,  and  coupled  with  the  challenge  a  request 
for  ten  million  copies  of  the  Gospel  of  John  in  Japanese, 
it  seemed  like  an  undertaking  of  tremendous  proportions. 
And  so  it  proved.  However,  during  the  year  1952,  the 
League  saw  the  completion  of  this  task  as  the  ten  mil 
lionth  copy  of  the  Gospel  of  John  in  Japanese  rolled  off 
the  press  and  was  placed  in  the  hand  of  one  of  this 
country's  throngs  who  are  still  without  the  Word  of  Life. 

As  the  completion  of  this  task  drew  near  and  new 
horizons  beckoned  in  the  land  of  Korea,  the  Pocket 
Testament  League  was  faced  with  a  great  decision- 
should  the  work  in  Japan  be  terminated  completely,  or 
should  a  work  be  maintained  here  in  addition  to  the 
opening  of  the  Korean  field?  After  months  of  prayer,  it 
was  decided  to  turn  the  greater  portion  of  the  Japanese 
work  into  the  hands  of  the  Japanese  men  who  had  so 
faithfully  served  in  the  ten  million  campaign.  At  present 
they  are  continuing  Scripture  distribution  in  the  small 
villages  and  rural  areas  of  Japan.  Their  program  includes 
outdoor  meetings,  distribution  of  Gospels  in  schools, 
factories,  hospitals,  etc.,  and  indoor  rallies  for  the  entire 

258 


THE  POCKET  TESTAMENT  LEAGUE  259 

community. 

During  the  closing  months  of  1952  clearance  was 
granted  to  Pocket  Testament  League  workers  to  enter 
Korea  with  the  purpose  of  establishing  the  basis  for  a 
planned  campaign  to  distribute  one  million  Gospels  of 
John  in  Korean.  One  by  one  the  American  workers, 
under  the  leadership  of  Foreign  Secretary  Glenn  Wagner, 
have  left  Tokyo  to  take  up  the  new  work  in  Korea. 
Work  has  been  largely  limited  to  the  Pusan  area,  a 
city  congested  with  refugees  from  the  north,  ROK 
trainees  ready  to  leave  for  front-line  fighting,  ROK  troops 
hospitalized  for  serious  wounds,  thousands  of  school 
children,  United  Nations  troops  and  ordinary  residents 
seeking  to  eke  out  a  living  for  themselves  and  their 
families.  While  in  many  other  countries  missionaries  find 
opportunities  for  public  meetings  in  schools,  army  instal 
lations,  etc.,  rather  limited,  reports  from  Korea  convince 
us  that  it  will  take  months  even  to  scratch  the  surface 
of  the  opportunities  which  await  the  preaching  of  the 
Gospel  message. 

As  they  look  forward  this  year,  members  of  the  Pocket 
Testament  League  acknowledge  that  Jesus  Christ  alone 
is  the  answer  to  the  turbulent  conditions  which  exist 
here  in  the  Far  East  and  the  world  around,  and  with 
confidence  they  continue  to  make  available  to  millions 
the  Word  of  God  in  which  the  Son  of  God  is  revealed. 


THE  FAR  EASTERN  GOSPEL  CRUSADE 

by  Robert  A.  Foster 

Immediately  following  the  Pacific  war  the  first 
members  of  the  Crusade  entered  Japan.  Now  this  fellow 
ship  includes  about  fifty  individuals.  Initially  various  types 
of  work  were  engaged  in,  but  at  the  present  nearly  all 
the  members  are  engaged  in  language  study  as  their 
primary  objective.  The  Far  Eastern  Gospel  Crusade  re 
cognizes  the  importance  of  the  church  and  of  local  groups 
of  believers  but  does  not  have  any  churches  of  its  own 
(or  any  plan  to  form  any),  and  does  not  carry  on  any 
work  under  its  name.  Its  members  desire  as  individuals 
to  find  their  proper  place  for  life  and  witness  in  Japan 
and  among  the  body  of  Christians  in  Japan.  At  present 
they  are  carrying  on  an  introductory  training  program 
for  those  who  join  the  fellowship,  introducing  them  to 
the  language  and  culture  of  this  nation.  Certain  members 
are  working  in  cooperative  projects  such  as  the  Pacific 
Orient  Broadcasting  Company  and  the  Japan  Evangelical 
Christian  School,

THE  FREE  CHRISTIAN  MISSION 

by  J.  W.  Rudolph 

The  Free  Christian  Mission  is  a  group  of  mission 
aries  sent  by  Pentecostal  Assemblies  in  different  lands, 
voluntarily  cooperating  in  Japan.  At  the  time  of  writ 
ing  there  is  one  Norwegian- American,  two  Danish  and 
twelve  Norwegians,  making  15  missionaries  in  all. 

All  the  missionaries  have  worked  (from  2  to  26  years) 
in  China,  the  first  arriving  in  Japan  from  Formosa  in 
the  early  part  of  1950. 

The  missionaries  of  the  FCM  are  evangelical  in 
doctrine,  pentecostal  (Acts  2 : 1-4)  in  experience  and  in 
emphasis  evangelistic. 

Missionaries  are  at  present  located  in  Kobe,  Kyoto, 
Seto  City,  Mikuni,  Maruoka,  Katsuyama  and  Takefu  City, 
these  four  last  mentioned  places  being  in  Fukui  Ken. 

As  the  work  "  began  from  scratch,"  the  procedure 
has  generally  been  for  the  missionaries  to  start  Sunday 
Schools  and  Bible  classes  while  studying  the  language. 
Later  as  they  spread  out  they  have  taken  up  evangelistic 
work  in  a  wider  sense  endeavouring  to  lead  men  to  a 
saving  knowledge  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  with  the  end 
in  view  to  establish  free  Christian  assemblies  in  Japan. 

The  first  baptismal  service  was  held  near  Seto  City, 
September  16,  1951,  when  the  three  first  believers  were 
immersed  in  a  river  there.  During  the  year  1952,  80 

261 


262  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

other    believers    have    been   baptized,    making   the  total 
number  of  baptisms  83  since  FCM  came  to  Japan. 

During  the  summer  of  1952  a  tent  was  purchased 
and  in  the  evangelistic  campaigns  that  followed  more 
than  500  decisions  were  recorded.  Two  new  tents  will 
be  bought  before  the  "tent-season"  of  1953  arrives.  In 
addition  to  the  regular  instruction  in  the  Word  of  God  for 
the  building  up  of  the  new  believers'  faith,  special  "  Bible 
Study  Weeks  "  are  held  for  the  deepening  of  the  spiritual 
life. 


THE  COVENANT  MISSIONARY  SOCIETY 

The  Evangelical  Mission  Covenant  Church  of  America 

by  William  Rigmark 

The  Evangelical  Mission  Covenant  Church  originated 
in  Sweden  in  1878  mainly  as  a  result  of  the  nation-wide 
revivals  during  the  second  half  of  the  nineteenth  century. 
Among  the  thousands  of  emigrants  who  decided  to  seek 
a  happy  future  life  in  the  United  States  there  were  a 
great  number  of  Covenanters,  and  before  long  the 
Evangelical  Mission  Covenant  Church  of  America  was 
organized.  To  begin  with  it  felt  itself  called  to  minister 
only  to  the  Swedish  people  in  the  new  country.  As  the 
years  have  gone  by  the  Swedish  language  has  disappeared 
and  the  Evangelical  Mission  Covenant  Church  has  taken 
its  place  among  the  great  number  of  national  churches 
in  the  United  States.  The  Evangelical  Mission  Covenant 
Church  believes  in  the  Holy  Scriptures,  the  Old  and  New 
Testaments,  as  the  Word  of  God  and  the  only  perfect 
rule  for  faith,  doctrine  and  conduct. 

When  the  changed  political  situation  in  China  made 
it  impossible  to  continue  the  fruitful  missionary  work 
there,  God  led  the  Covenant  missionaries  to  Japan.  Thus 
the  Covenant  Missionary  Society  of  Japan  was  organized 
in  1949.  A  young  missionary  couple,  however,  had  been 
on  the  field  for  some  time  previous  to  this, 

263 


264  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

Missionary  work  was  first  established  in  the  Tokyo 
area.  In  1950  Covenant  missionaries  were  invited  to 
begin  work  in  Kanagawa  Ken.  Churches  have  been 
established  in  Kozu,  Hiratsuka,  Matsuda  and  other  towns. 
At  the  same  time  it  was  decided  to  minister  to  the 
people  in  Niigata  Ken.  A  promising  work  has  developed 
in  Nagaoka  City.  With  Nagaoka  as  the  operational  base 
the  work  is  beginning  to  branch  out  into  neighboring 
villages. 

In  1951  the  president  of  the  Evangelical  Mission 
Covenant  Church  of  America,  Dr.  Theodore  Anderson, 
visited  Japan  and  initiated  a  new  Covenant  work  in 
Gumma  Ken.  Since  the  beginning  of  1952  regular  evan 
gelistic  work  has  been  conducted  in  Minowa  and  other 
towns  in  the  vicinity  of  Takasaki. 

Since  the  beginning  of  the  Covenant  work  in  Japan, 
the  need  for  a  training  institute  for  Gospel  workers  has 
been  urgently  felt.  After  prayerful  consideration  a  Bible 
Institute  was  established  in  the  fall  of  1952  as  the  op 
portunity  to  purchase  suitable  property  presented  itself. 
The  Bible  Institute,  which  offers  a  three-year  course 
for  young  men  and  women,  is  located  in  Meguro-ku, 
Tokyo.  The  Bible  Institute  has  already  proved  to  be  an 
inspiring  answer  to  a  great  need,  even  though  it  func 
tions  under  some  restrictions. 

Sponsored  by  the  Covenant  Missionary  Society,  but 
by  no  means  an  exclusive  Covenant  project,  is  the  Nurses' 
Christian  Fellowship,  an  association  of  students  and 


THE  COVENANT  MISSIONARY  SOCIETY  265 

graduate  nurses  who  have  declared  their  faith  in  Jesus 
Christ.  As  the  Nurses'  Christian  Fellowship  is  an  inter 
denominational  organization,  other  missionaries  help  in 
teaching  Bible  classes  in  various  hospitals. 

This  work  began  in  1950  after  a  number  of  schools 
of  nursing  were  visited  by  Covenant  missionary  nurses. 
Bible  classes  are  conducted  at  twelve  hospitals  in  the 
Tokyo  area,  as  well  as  in  some  other  parts  of  Japan.  A 
special  Nurses'  New  Testament  provided  for  by  the 
Gideons  Society  has  been  distributed  in  great  numbers 
by  the  missionary  nurses. 

The  Covenant  missionaries  on  the  field  are  at  present 
fifteen.  A  few  new  missionaries  are  expected  to  arrive 
during  1953,  and  two  missionaries  will  return  from 
furlough. 


THE  YOTSUYA  MISSION 

The  Yotsuya  Mission  was  established  by  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  W.  D.  Cunningham  soon  after  they  arrived  in  Japan 
October  1,  1901.  Mr.  Cunningham  was  first  appointed  to 
Japan  by  the  Disciples  of  Christ  Missionary  Society,  but 
following  an  attack  of  polio  he  was  refused  by  them. 
He  felt  the  call  to  Japan  so  urgent  that  they  came  in 
dependently  and  have  been  supported  by  free-will  offer 
ings  from  "  rope-holders  "  since  that  time.  Mrs.  Cunning 
ham  is  still  living  at  the  original  site  of  the  mission — 16 
Wakabacho,  Shinjuku-ku,  Tokyo — having  completed  nearly 
52  years  of  missionary  service. 

In  keeping  with  the  original  policy  of  independency 
the  Yotsuya  Mission  does  not  belong  to  the  Kyodan,  the 
EMAJ  or  the  JBCC.  We  believe  in  the  congregational 
form  of  church  government.  There  are  13  churches  in 
the  Tokyo  area  which  were  established  by  the  Yotsuya 
Mission.  This  is  just  a  little  above  the  size  of  the  Mission 
at  the  beginning  of  the  last  war. 

There  are  5  full-time  Japanese  ministers,  and  the 
rest  of  the  churches  are  ministered  to  by  missionaries 
and  seminary  students.  Besides  Mrs.  Cunningham,  who 
is  the  director,  three  missionary  families  are  in  the 
Yotsuya  Mission. 

The  main  activity  of  the  Mission  is  the  maintenance 
and  supervision  of  a  small  seminary  called  Tokyo  Bible 

266 


THE  YOTSUYA  MISSION  267 

Seminary,   located   at  27  Sakurayama-machi,  Nakano-ku, 
Tokyo.    This  school   now  has  18  students  and  a  faculty 
of  8  Japanese  preachers  and  missionaries. 
Last  year  there  were  over  100  baptisms. 


THE  MENNONITE  BOARD  OF  MISSIONS 
AND  CHARITIES 

by  Carl  C.  Beck 

.  The  work  of  the  Mennonite  Board  in  Japan  is  of 
recent  origin,  the  first  four  missionaries  having  arrived 
in  Japan  in  1949.  As  a  result  the  year  just  ended  has 
been  for  us  largely  a  continuation  of  beginnings. 

As  the  Mennonite  Church  has  a  separate  organ  for 
relief  and  welfare  known  as  the  Mennonite  Central  Com 
mittee,  and  since  this  welfare  organization  has  work  in 
Japan,  the  emphasis  of  the  Board  is  largely  evangelism, 
although  emergency  relief  always  makes  special  demands 
as  was  the  case  in  a  recent  severe  earthquake  in  Hokkaido 
and  in  devastating  fires  in  both  Kushiro  and  Obihiro 
(Hokkaido) . 

The  past  year  found  only  two  families  in  actual 
village  evangelism  and  eight  additional  workers  in  language 
school  in  Tokyo. 

Since  rural  evangelism  presented  a  great  challenge 
to  many  of  the  older  church  leaders  in  postwar  Japan, 
and  since  our  group  is  peculiarly  interested  in  this  type 
of  evangelism  both  by  temperament  and  by  experience, 
it  was  felt  that  we  could  perhaps  make  the  greatest  con 
tribution  to  the  total  program  of  the  Kingdom  in  Japan 
by  this  kind  of  effort.  As  an  especially  needy  area,  the 
Spirit  seemed  to  indicate  the  eastern  arm  of  Hokkaido. 

268 


THE  MENNONITE  BOARD  OF  MISSIONS  269 

It  is  our  hope  that  we  can  eventually  plant  in  every  town 
and  village  in  this  area  an  abiding  witness  to  our  Lord, 
and  that  God  can  raise  unto  Himself  here  a  church, 
bright  and  glorious,  without  spot  or  blemish,  a  part  of 
the  greater  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  in  Japan. 


THE  OMI  BROTHERHOOD 

by  Merrell  Varies  Hitotsuyanagi 

The  Omi  Brotherhood,  being  a  self-supporting  organiza 
tion  for  the  evangelization  of  neglected  areas  with 
headquarters  in  Japan  and  the  majority  of  its  members 
Japanese,  is  hardly  qualified  to  be  a  regular  member  of 
the  Fellowship  of  Christian  Missionaries  in  Japan,  although 
several  of  its  members  have  been  directly  connected 
with  the  Fellowship  since  it  was  founded,  and  our  founder 
was  its  chairman  in  1930-31.  We  have  no  American  or 
other  "  foreign  "  missionary  at  present  although  we  may 
have  at  any  time. 

There  are  two  or  three  ways  in  which  the  Omi 
Brotherhood  can  and  does  cooperate  with  and  serve  the 
whole  Fellowship  : 

1.  Every  department  of  the  Brotherhood  is  intended 
to  be  a  demonstration  of  Christianity  in  action.  Almost 
every  type  of  occupation  and  industry  is  represented 
here  -  professional,  industrial,  educational,  philanthropic  and 
evangelistic  (personal,  correspondence,  preaching,  medical, 
publications,  Bible  courses  and  demonstration) .  This  not 
only  makes  the  Christian  life  as  guided  by  the  Holy 
Spirit  visible  to  the  seeker,  but  it  also  enables  any  other 
mission  which  does  not  have  such  facilities  to  use  our 
plant  for  purposes  of  illustration  and  to  observe  how 
such  methods  of  evangelization  and  rural  work  may  be 

270 


THE  OMI  BROTHERHOOD  271 

adopted  or  adapted  without  incurring  expense  or  effort 
for  direct  experimentation.  The  Brotherhood  is  an  ex- 
periment  station  for  missions. 

2.  Our  Architectural  and  Importing  Departments  offer 
services  to  all  missions,  saving  them  expense  and  provid 
ing  them  needed  equipment. 

The  direction  of  the  Brotherhood  is  entrusted  to  an 
elected  Executive  Committee  of  twelve  in  which  at  least 
one  woman  is  included. 


THE  CHURCH  OF  THE  FOURSQUARE 
GOSPEL 

by  Billie  Charles 

The  Church  of  the  Foursquare  Gospel  is  very  young, 
only  thirty  years  old  to  be  exact.  Its  headquarters  and 
radio  station  are  located  in  Angelus  Temple,  the  main 
church,  which  is  in  Los  Angeles.  This  church  seats 
5,000.  Next  door  to  it  is  the  seminary  which  has  an 
enrollment  of  about  700  students.  In  the  same  area  are 
such  buildings  as  a  home  for  missionaries  on  furlough 
and  a  new  youth  education  building. 

The  main  objective  of  the  Church  of  the  Foursquare 
Gospel  is  evangelism  and  the  establishment  of  churches 
in  every  country  in  the  world.  It  has  mission  work  in 
Africa,  Australia,  Bolivia,  Brazil,  Chile,  Hong  Kong, 
Colombia,  Central  America,  Cuba,  Japan,  Mexico,  Panama, 
Philippine  Islands,  Puerto  Rico,  Samoan  Islands,  India, 
Jamaica  and  the  Dominican  Republic.  This  year  the  Inter 
national  Church  of  the  Foursquare  Gospel  is  sending  out 
37  new  missionaries  plus  three  Gospel  teams  which  will 
make  evangelistic  tours  of  Central  and  South  America, 
the  Orient  and  the  Caribbean  area. 

Japan  is  a  new  field  for  the  Church  of  the  Foursquare 
Gospel.  Its  missionaries  first  came  from  China  in  April, 
1951.  At  the  present  time  Rev.  and  Mrs.  Carl  Lucht  are 
working  in  Hiroshima  with  their  own  organization  and 

272 


/          THE  CHURCH  OF  THE  FOURSQUARE  GOSPEL          273 

working  with  Youth  for  Christ.  Their  work  is  chiefly 
mass  evangelism  and  follow-up  classes  for  new  converts. 
They  also  do  some  work  with  the  Armed  Forces  there. 
Also  Rev.  Billie  Charles  is  studying  language  in  Tokyo, 
having  children's  meetings  and  adult  Bible  classes  in  his 
home,  carrying  on  evangelistic  work  in  Tokorozawa  and 
holding  Sunday  school  and  church  services  in  a  school 
building  in  Yachimata  in  Chiba  Prefecture. 

This  summer  another  young  couple  will  be  coming 
to  Japan  to  help  in  this  work.  Future  objectives  are  the 
learning  of  Japanese  language,  the  building  of  churches 
and  the  beginning  of  a  seminary. 


THE  CHURCH  OF  JESUS  CHRIST  OF 
LATTER-DAY  SAINTS 

The  year  1952  has  been  marked  with  definite  progress 
in  the  Japan  Mission  of  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of 
Latter-Day  Saints.  Since  the  reopening  of  the  Mission  in 
1948  there  have  been  125  missionaries  assigned  to  the 
Japan  Mission.  These  missionaries  stay  from  two  to 
three  years,  so  at  present  there  are  70  L.  D.  S.  mission 
aries  in  Japan.  During  1952  there  were  25  missionaries 
who  returned  to  their  homes  in  the  States  and  only  10 
replacements.  To  relieve  this  situation  of  declining 
numbers,  Pres.  Vinal  G.  Mauss  asked  the  servicemen  in 
this  area  who  are  members  of  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ 
of  Latter-Day  Saints  to  donate  money  to  a  missionary 
fund.  The  servicemen  rallied  to  the  cause  and  built  a 
fund  from  which  9  Japanese  nationals  are  being  supported 
as  full-time  missionaries.  Plans  are  to  enlarge  this  pro 
gram  so  that  more  Japanese  members  may  be  called 
into  proselyting  service. 

On  April  13,  1952,  Pres.  Vinal  G.  Mauss,  under  the 
direction  of  the  First  Presidency  of  the  Church,  set  apart 
Peter  Nelsen  Hansen  arid  Dwayne  N.  Andersen  as  first 
and  second  counselors  to  assist  him  in  the  mission  presid 
ency.  This  presidency  is  responsible  not  only  for  the 
proselyting  and  growth  of  the  church  among  the  Japanese, 
but  also  for  the  activities  of  the  L.  D.  S.  servicemen  in 

274 


THE  CHURCH  OF  LATTER-DAY  SAINTS  275 

the  Far  East  area.  There  are  at  this  time  25  branches 
of  the  church  among  Japanese  nationals  and  80  branches 
and  groups  organized  among  the  servicemen.  Two  of 
the  Japanese  branches  are  completely  organized  and 
directed  by  lay  members  who  have  been  called  to  posi 
tions  of  leadership.  The  various  servicemen's  groups 
are  likewise  organized  so  they  can  conduct  their  own 
meetings  and  also  carry  on  a  proselyting  program  among 
the  service  personnel. 

The  building  program  is  going  ahead  with  the  pur 
chase  of  homes  and  land  in  Sendai  and  Takasaki  which 
will  be  locations  for  future  chapels.  Plans  for  purchas 
ing  other  locations  in  1953  are  being  made. 

Some  outstanding  activities  are:  the  translation 
work  of  Tatsui  Sato  of  a  number  of  tracts  and  pamphlets 
along  with  much  progress  in  completing  the  Standard 
Works  of  the  church  and  other  source  material ;  also, 
three  Sunday  School  manuals  for  1953  were  translated 
by  Elder  Yotaru  Yoshino  and  published  by  Elder  Oscar 
K.  Hulet ;  the  publishing  of  the  Book  of  Mormon,  addi 
tional  scriptural  witness  for  Jesus  Christ,  into  Japanese 
braille  through  the  donated  services  of  Miss  Haruko 
Sakamoto,  a  member  of  the  church ;  the  organization  of 
the  Gumma  Mixed  Chorus  under  the  direction  of  Elder 
Ronald  D.  Pexton  (it  was  composed  of  25  members  and 
investigators  from  Takasaki  and  Maebashi  who  after 
6  months  of  preparation  made  a  concert  tour  performing 
in  the  cities  of  Sanjo,  Shibata,  Kanazawa,  Nagoya,  Osaka, 


276  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

i 

Kyoto,  Yokohama,  Tokyo,  Maebashi,  and  Takasaki)  ;  the 
Mutual  Improvement  Association,  the  social  and  recrea 
tional  organization  of  the  church,  sponsored  a  mission- 
wide  basketball  tournament  in  March  and  a  baseball 
tournament  in  August ;  this  organization  also  sponsored 
dances,  plays,  and  other  recreational  and  cultural  pro 
grams  throughout  the  branches  of  the  church  in  Japan. 
1952  has  seen  a  growth  in  the  number  of  Japanese 
members  being  called  to  positions  of  leadership  to  conduct 
meetings  and  assist  in  the  work  of  the  various  branches 
under  the  supervision  of  the  missionaries.  Plans  for  the 
future  are  to  prepare  the  lay  members  to  carry  more  of 
the  responsibilities  in  the  branches,  releasing  the  mission 
aries  for  more  proselyting. 


THE  INTERNATIONAL  CHILD 
EVANGELISM  FELLOWSHIP 

The  International  Child  Evangelism  Fellowship  is  an 
interdenominational  mission.  Its  program  has  been  de 
signed  to  reach  the  children  of  the  world  for  Christ. 

This  ministry  in  Japan  had  its  beginning  in  the  spring 
of  1948  with  one  missionary  on  the  field.  God  has 
blessed  with  a  steady  growth  during  the  ensuing  years, 
increasing  the  number  of  missionaries  to  nine  by  1952. 

The  work  was  first  established  in  Tokyo  and  this 
continued  to  be  the  main  headquarters  for  the  Mission. 
Two  outposts  were  established  during  1952,  one  in  Ashiya 
and  a  second  in  Hiroshima. 

The  actual  work  of  this  Mission  is  first,  to  teach  and 
train  native  Christians  to  present  the  Gospel  to  children 
and  to  lead  them  to  Christ ;  second,  to  hold  special 
evangelistic  meetings  for  children  all  over  Japan ;  third, 
to  translate  and  print  the  Child  Evangelism  lesson  material 
into  the  native  language.  This  is  a  very  important  phase 
of  the  work.  Much  of  the  material  is  now  in  Japanese 
and  more  will  soon  be  off  the  press. 

Teacher  training  classes  are  held  throughout  the  areas 
where  this  work  is  established.  These  groups  come  to^ 
gether  each  week  for  instruction  and  are  then  sent  out  to 
present  the  message  to  the  children.  The  average  class 
is  made  up  largely  of  college  age  young  people.  Many 

277 


278  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

of  them  are  new  Christians  who  are  eager  to  serve  the 
Lord.  Some  of  these  young  people  are  teaching  as  many 
as  six  classes  weekly  with  wonderful  results. 

The  greatest  step  forward  was  taken  last  fall  with 
the  opening  of  a  Child  Evangelism  Bible  School  and 
Teacher  Training  Institute.  This  school  is  held  in  the 
Ashiya  branch  and  offers  a  nine  months  course  of  study. 
The  first  five  and  one-half  months  are  devoted  to  a  con 
centrated  study  of  the  Bible  and  the  next  three  and  one- 
half  months  to  teacher  training  in  child  evangelism 
methods  and  materials.  Workers  who  have  already  had 
their  Bible  training  may  come  for  just  the  teacher  train 
ing  service. 

Students  are  required  to  have  at  least  a  high  school 
education.  They  must  be  doctrinally  sound  and  sign  the 
statement  of  faith  set  forth  by  the  Mission.  Before 
entering  the  school  they  must  read  the  Bible  through  at 
least  once.  Each  student  must  provide  his  own  board, 
bedding  and  other  equipment.  The  tuition  is  free  and 
at  present  limited  dormitory  space  is  available. 

Students  are  not  limited  to  child  evangelism  workers 
only.  The  Mission  welcomes  any  Christians  interested 
in  children's  work  who  feel  the  need  for  further  train 
ing  for  rendering  more  effective  service  for  the  Lord. 

Missionaries  of  the  Fellowship  feel  that  the  one  hope 
of  reaching  the  Japanese  people  for  Christ  is  in  training 
native  Christians.  As  they  go  out  into  all  parts  of  the 
islands  of  Japan  efforts  will  be  multiplied  many  times. 


THE  GIDEONS  INTERNATIONAL 

by  R.  J.  Holzwarth 

The  Gideons  International  who  are  Christian  business 
men  of  all  denominations  are  banded  together  with  a 
threefold  objective: 

a.  Winning  the  lost  to  Christ  by  personal  testimony. 

b.  Associating    Christian     businessmen   together  for 
fellowship. 

c.  The   distribution   of   God's  Holy  Word  to  hotels, 
hospitals,    schools,    penal   institutions,  the  Armed 
Forces,    youth    in  our  public  schools,  and  around 
the  world  in  over  66  countries. 

We  have  a  total  of  about  17,000  members  in  the  Uni 
ted  States,  Canada,  Iceland,  the  British  Isles,  Scandina 
vian  countries,  Europe,  Australia,  Mexico  and  Japan  etc. 

During  the  year  1952  the  following  Scriptures  were 
distributed  :  3,538  total  Bibles ;  7,962,280  Youth  Testaments ; 
13,122,384  Service  Men's  Testaments;  650,157  Nurses' 
Testaments  ;  and  89,721  foreign  Bibles. 

The  Gideons  came  to  Japan  on  June  9,  1950,  in  res 
ponse  to  General  MacArthur's  request  for  .Scriptures  for 
the  Japanese.  On  September  1,  1950,  a  group  of  Japanese 
businessmen  was  formed  into  a  local  Gideon  group  in 
Tokyo.  The  writer  has  been  privileged  to  be  the  repre 
sentative  here  from  June  9,  1950,  to  December  18,  1950, 

279 


280  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

and  again  from  November  25,  1951. 

Last  year  Gideon  camps  were  formed  in  Sapporo, 
Sendai,  Osaka,  Fukuoka  and  Kyoto.  This  gives  us  a  total 
now  of  six  Gideon  groups  in  Japan  and,  the  Lord  willing, 
we  will  establish  another  sometime  in  March  at  Kobe. 

The  three-year  objective  is  to  have  about  14  groups 
organized  in  Japan  and  to  distribute  approximately  400. 
000  bilingual  Japanese  and  English  New  Testaments  to 
the  university  students.  Gideons  also  are  now  presenting 
a  New  Testament  with  Psalms  and  Proverbs  to  high 
school  students  and  hotels. 

Scripture  distribution  in  Japan  includes  not  only 
hotels  but  hospitals  and  penal  institutions  as  well. 
This  of  course  is  done  through  the  Japanese  Christian 
businessmen  who  are  making  the  presentations. 

On  September  27  and  28,  1952,  the  first  National 
Convention  was  held  in  Japan  and  the  following  were 
selected  as  the  national  officers :  president,  Takeo 
Igarashi,  president  of  Hakuyosha  Co.,  Tokyo;  1st  v- 
president,  Kanzaburo  Momotani,  Osaka ;  2nd  v-president, 
Ryuji  Tsuruhara,  Fukuoka ;  secretary,  Kakumaro  Kem- 
motsu,  Tokyo ;  treasurer,  Kiichi  Kobayashi,  president  of 
Lion  Dentrifice  Co.,  Tokyo  ;  chaplain,  Sadatoshi  Sukegawa, 
Sapporo ;  Bible  secretary,  Rikichi  Sato,  Sendai. 

During  the  Convention  period  in  1952,  Bibles  were  pre 
sented  to  Ambassadors  Murphy,  Walker,  Dening,  Tong  and 
Canadian  Counsellor  Menzies.  Special  Bibles  were  presented 
to  General  Clark,  General  Weyland  and  Admiral  Briscoe. 


THE  JAPAN  YOUTH  FOR  CHRIST 

by  Sam  Wolgemuth 

Youth  For  Christ  International  had  its  beginnings  in 
the  year  1945  under  the  leadership  of  Dr.  Torrey  Johnson 
who  became  its  first  president.  The  work  initially  was 
planned  to  reach  American  youth  who,  because  of  the 
accentuated  program  of  public  amusements  and  increas 
ing  vices,  were  being  lost  to  the  church.  God  graciously 
blessed  this  ministry  and  multitudes  of  young  people 
across  the  States  were  brought  to  a  saving  knowledge 
of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  In  more  recent  years  under 
the  leadership  of  Dr.  Bob  Cook,  now  president  of  YFCI, 
Youth  For  Christ,  in  addition  to  its  youth  program  in 
the  States,  has  caught  the  missionary  vision.  This  vision 
lias  taken  youth  leaders  to  78  countries  of  the  world. 
These  men  have  endeavored  to  work  with  missionaries 
and  pastors  in  mass  evangelistic  efforts.  The  best  equip 
ment  and  methods  available  in  our  modern  times  have 
been  utilized  to  present  clearly  and  to  the  masses  the 
claims  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  upon  the  lives  of  men. 
"  Geared  to  the  times  but  anchored  to  the  rock "  has 
rather  clearly  characterized  the  endeavors. 

It  is  the  ever-increasing  desire  of  YFC  men  in  Japan 
that  seekers  who  have  given  evidence  to  a  desire  to  know 
the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  shall  first  of  all  be  instructed  in 

281 


282  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

the  Word  by  careful  follow-up  which  is  carried  on  under 
the  capable  leadership  of  the  Navigator  staff  who  work 
in  cooperation  with  Youth  For  Christ.  YFC  recognizes 
the  importance  of  the  church  and  encourages  all  seekers 
to  affiliate  with  a  church  in  their  area  where  the  Gospel 
message  is  clearly  presented.  By  this  method  there  are 
men  and  women  in  every  prefecture  of  Japan  who  are 
studying  the  Word  and  share  in  local  church  programs. 

This  year,  1953,  will  be  particularly  important  in  the 
history  of  Japan  Youth  For  Christ  since  the  Sixth  Annual 
World  Congress  on  Evangelism  will  be  conducted  here. 
Combining  with  missionaries  and  pastors  throughout  the 
islands,  the  YFC  staff  with  the  advice  of  an  Advisory 
Council  consisting  of  mission  leaders  and  leading  Japan 
ese  pastors,  will  join  forces  with  the  churches  to  make 
Christ  known  to  multitudes  who  have  never  received 
the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  as  Saviour. 

To  share  in  this  unprecedented  venture  of  faith, 
approximately  500  Christian  leaders  from  all  parts  of  the 
world  will  come  to  Japan  during  the  month  of  August. 
Prayer  groups  are  giving  particular  attention  to  this 
Congress,  and  Christians  everywhere  are  believing  that 
1953  will  prove  to  be  a  great  year  of  spiritual  harvest 
in  Japan. 


THE  NAVIGATORS 

Twenty  years  ago  a  young  man,  temporarily  in  jail 
for  a  minor  offense,  promised  the  God  he  knew  nothing 
about  that  he  would  serve  Him  if  He  would  help  him 
get  out  of  trouble.  Shortly  thereafter  Dawson  Trotman 
attended  a  young  people's  Sunday  evening  meeting  and 
became  a  participant  in  a  contest  between  the  "  Reds  " 
and  the  "Blues."  Noting  the  various  possibilities  for 
winning  points,  Trotman  saw  that  memorizing  the  10 
verses  listed  on  the  contest  sheet  would  bring  the  great 
est  total  of  points. 

A  few  weeks  later,  as  he  was  on  his  way  to  work 
in  the  lumber  yard  in  Lomita,  California,  he  was 
impressed  by  the  words  "  hath  everlasting  life."  Seeking 
the  source  of  those  words,  he  glanced  at  the  little  cards 
on  which  he  had  written  the  contest  verses  for  easy 
reference  during  the  free  moments  of  the  day.  Coming 
to  John  5 : 24,  he  realized  the  desirability  of  having  eternal 
life,  and  at  that  moment  settled  it  with  God.  Immediately 
he  began  working  on  a  system  for  helping  others  to 
memorize  God's  Word. 

Five  years  later,  Trotman  was  led  to  contact  Les 
Spencer,  a  man  in  the  U.S.  Navy,  who  asked  for  help  in 
learning  the  Scriptures  and  in  dealing  with  men  as  he 
had  seen  Trotman  do.  As  Spencer  progressed,  he  became 
the  means  of  reaching  other  men  in  the  Navy,  who  In 

283 


284  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

turn  reached  others.  At  the  close  of  World  War  II,  the 
Navigators  had  men  on  1,000  ships,  shore  stations,  and 
army  camps.  As  a  result  of  several  world  trips  by 
Trotman,  missionaries  from  more  than  40  foreign  countries 
have  requested  Navigator-trained  men  to  lay  the  founda 
tion  of  such  work  around  the  world.  Since  1948,  when 
Roy  Robertson  went  to  China  as  the  first  foreign  repre 
sentative,  the  Navigators  have  sent  men  to  England, 
France,  Germany,  Italy,  Cyprus,  Hong  Kong,  Formosa, 
the  Philippines,  Okinawa,  Japan,  Korea,  and  South 
America. 

In  1950,  at  the  request  of  Billy  Graham,  Trotman 
became  Personal  Work  Counsellor  for  the  Billy  Graham 
Evangelistic  Crusade  and  has  directed  the  personal  work 
and  follow-up  for  all  of  the  city-wide  rallies.  In  each  of 
these,  a  carefully  selected  group  of  young  men  and 
women  with  Navigator  training  have  assisted  in  the 
training  of  personal  workers  and  in  the  setting  up  of  a 
"  Follow-up  Office  "  to  continue  to  help  the  converts  after 
the  Crusade  has  moved  on  to  another  city. 

In  the  summer  of  1951  Roy  Robertson  came  to  Japan 
from  Formosa  and  China  at  the  request  of  Youth  For 
Christ  to  set  up  a  system  of  follow-up  based  on  methods 
the  Navigators  had  found  successful  in  the  United  States 
and  in  Formosa.  A  system  of  Bible  study  (particularly 
adapted  to  the  Orient)  and  memory  work  was  translated 
and  printed  for  correspondence,  using  the  principle  of 
teaching  the  student  to  study  the  Word  of  God  for  him- 


THE  NAVIGATORS  28$ 

self.  This  system  begins  simply  in  the  Gospel  of  John 
and  later  spreads  to  other  books  in  the  New  Testament 
and  to  the  Old  Testament,  laying  a  foundation  step  by 
step  of  basic  truths  for  victorious  Christian  living.  The 
ultimate  objective  is  to  give  each  student  such  a  working 
knowledge  of  the  Word  of  God  that  he  will  be  able  to 
win  his  friends  to  Christ  and  to  assist  them  in  their 
spiritual  growth. 

Except  for  the  cost  of  Y  80  to  cover  the  cost  of 
mailing  the  four  progressive  steps  of  the  Topical  Memory 
System,  all  materials  are  sent  free  of  charge  to  anyone 
who  sends  his  name  and  address  to  the  Bible  Investiga 
tion  Correspondence  School,  Central  P.  O.  Box  533, 
Tokyo. 

Such  organizations  as  Youth  For  Christ,  Pocket 
Testament  League,  Oriental  Missionary  Society,  and  Bible 
Meditation  League  have  entrusted  the  Navigators  with 
the  responsibility  of  caring  for  their  spiritual  babes  by 
this  method  of  correspondence  study.  The  names  of  all 
students  are  filed  geographically  and  will  be  shared  with 
any  missionary  who  desires  to  contact  and  help  the 
students  in  his  area.  Many  of  these  students  are  located 
in  areas  where  some  evangelism  has  been  done  but  where 
there  is  no  missionary  or  native  church  to  give  the 
spiritual  assistance  necessary  for  growth.  To  be  of  the 
most  possible  assistance  to  these,  each  study  is  graded 
individually  when  returned  to  the  office,  and  any  questions 
that  are  not  fully  understood  are  explained.  If  there  is 


286  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

an  indication  that  the  student  has  not  come  into  a  real 
knowledge  of  Jesus  Christ,  some  good  explanatory  in 
formation  is  sent  with  the  second  lesson. 

In  addition  to  the  correspondence  course,  the  Navi 
gators  sponsor  two  weekly  lecture  classes  for  students 
in  the  Tokyo  area.  A  follow-up  class  for  Youth  For 
Christ  converts  teaches  the  basics  of  successful  Christian 
living.  An  advanced  training  school  teaches  the  students 
to  do  personal  work.  This  training  is  applied  as  these 
advanced  students  serve  as  personal  workers  among 
those  who  come  seeking  Christ  at  the  monthly  Youth 
For  Christ  rally  in  Kyoritsu  Kodo  auditorium. 

True  to  their  early  beginnings,  the  Navigators  have 
had  an  increasing  ministry  among  the  United  States 
servicemen  in  Japan.  A  full-time  representative  is  di 
recting  the  Servicemen's  Center  in  Yokosuka  sponsored 
by  the  Christian  Servicemen's  Association.  Another 
representative  works  extensively  with  the  men  in  the 
Air  Force  on  bases  near  Tokyo.  The  Tokyo  Office  is  the 
headquarters  for  distribution  of  English  materials  in  the 
Orient  for  servicemen  and  missionaries. 

With  the  strong  emphasis  upon  mass  evangelism  which 
will  come  to  Japan  in  August  during  the  Youth  For 
Christ  Sixth  Annual  World  Congress  on  Evangelism,  and 
with  the  increasing  work  among  the  U.  S.  servicemen, 
the  Navigators  anticipate  greater  opportunities  to  fulfill 
Paul's  command  to  Timothy  to  train  "  faithful  men,  who 
shall  be  able  to  teach  others  also." 


THE  INTER-VARSITY  CHRISTIAN 
FELLOWSHIP 

by  Irene  Webster  Smith 

The  Inter- Varsity  Christian  Fellowship  is  not  a  new 
organisation,  but  a  very  old  one,  having  started  in  Cam 
bridge  University  in  England  in  1877.  It  was  from  this 
group  that  the  famous  "  Cambridge  Seven  "  went  forth 
to  do  and  dare  for  God  in  foreign  fields. 

In  1928  the  British  Inter- Varsity  students  were  chal 
lenged  with  the  tremendous  need  for  a  faithful  witness 
to  Jesus  Christ  and  His  saving  power  and  to  the  Bible, 
God's  inerrant  Word,  among  students  in  other  universities 
in  the  British  Commonwealth.  From  this  sprang  the 
Australian  and  New  Zealand  branches  of  the  Fellowship. 
Students  responded  by  selling  their  sports  equipment  to 
buy  Dr.  Howard  Guinness  a  one-way  ticket  to  Canada. 
An  adventure  of  faith  had  begun. 

In  1937  history  repeated  itself  when  the  Christian 
students  of  Toronto  saved  their  lunch  money  to  help 
finance  the  beginning  of  the  American  movement.  For 
approximately  two  years  it  was  part  of  the  Canadian 
Inter- Varsity  work,  but  in  the  spring  of  1940  it  was 
decided  that  the  work  in  the  United  States  should  begin 
its  independent  existence,  with  headquarters  in  Chicago, 
but  that  links  between  the  work  in  the  two  countries 

287 


*28S  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

should  be  maintained.  The  board  members  of  the  newly 
organised  independent  work  and  its  general  secretary, 
Mr.  C.  Stacey  Woods,  were  faced  with  the  tremendous 
task  of  establishing  on  the  campuses  of  more  than  1200 
colleges  and  universities  in  the  United  States  a  vital 
witness  for  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  But  they  faced  it  in 
faith  and  God  honoured  their  faith.  God  has  permitted 
them  to  see  not  only  a  constant  growth  of  the  work  to 
which  they  have  given  themselves  in  prayer  and  effort, 
but  in  1946  He  permitted  them  to  see  history  again  repeat 
itself  when  I.V.C.F.  students  in  the  United  States,  by  their 
gifts,  made  possible  the  sending  forth  of  labourers  to  the 
harvest  fields  of  Latin  America,  the  Orient,  India  and 
Europe. 

In  June,  1947,  an  insignificant  group  of  university 
students  gathered  in  Nippon  Medical  University.  Unno 
ticed,  they  met  every  Saturday  at  a  definite  time  and 
were  led  in  Bible  study  by  Mr.  Roy  Hasegawa.  In  Sep 
tember  Mr.  Charles  Hummel,  who  was  here  in  the  Occupa 
tion,  joined  him  in  starting  an  evangelistic  meeting 
which  was  held  in  a  building  next  door  to  our  present 
student  center.  In  the  same  year  I  was  working  with 
students  in  Kyoto,  but  in  October  moved  to  Tokyo  to 
help  in  the  work.  From  this  small  beginning  sprang  the 
Japan  I.V.C.F.  Many  young  missionaries  have  taught 
Bible  classes  for  us  in  many  colleges,  and  as  a  result 
students  came  to  the  Saviour  and  began  to  witness  for 
Christ  on  their  own  campuses,  and  so  others  were  won 


THE  INTER-VARSITY  CHRISTIAN  FELLOWSHIP      289 

to  Christ.  We  gathered  frequently  to  pray  together,  and, 
as  one  young  Japanese  said,  "  our  fellowship  with  one 
another  could  be  said  to  have  exceeded  that  of  a  family, 
and  sometimes  several  of  us  would  spend  long  times  of 
fellowship  and  prayer  together." 

In  1948  we  had  our  first  summer  conference  and  now 
our  spring  and  summer  conferences  are  regular  events. 
At  the  last  conference  thirty  colleges  were  represented 
from  Hokkaido  to  Kyushu. 

In  early  spring,  1949,  the  Rev.  John  Schwab,  who 
had  been  active  in  I.V.C.F.  work  in  the  University  of 
Texas,  joined  us.  During  this  time  many  students  were 
led  to  a  saving  knowledge  of  Christ  at  the  Saturday 
evening  meetings  which  continued  in  a  rented  room 
close  to  Meiji  University.  Feeling  the  need  of  something 
more  permanent  for  Bible  study,  prayer  and  follow-up 
meetings,  we  began  praying  and  early  in  1950  God  mir 
aculously  gave  us  a  suitable  place  in  Surugadai,  Kanda, 
Tokyo,  within  five  minutes  walk  of  five  or  six  univer 
sities.  In  1951  Mr.  Ken  S.  Roundhill,  formerly  a  staff 
worker  of  I  V.C.F.,  came  to  Japan  and  was  led  to  help 
us  in  student  campus  evangelism. 

Inter- Varsity  Christian  Fellowship  mainly  functions 
on  campus  amongst  the  students  themselves,  and  occas 
ionally  they  have  evangelistic  meetings  and  special 
speakers.  Once  a  month,  students  from  many  universities 
gather  for  prayer  and  to  encourage  one  another  with 
news  of  their  own  campus,  Many  of  the  graduates  are 


290 

today  training  in  seminaries  and  Bible  colleges  for  the 
Lord's  work. 

Students  have  been  publishing  their  own  monthly 
magazine,  "  Kirisutosha,"  which  from  now  on  will  be 
issued  quarterly.  Tracts  suitable  for  university  students 
are  also  being  published. 

We  are  grateful  for  the  growth  and  function  of  the 
Kirisutosha  Gakuseikai — the  Japan  counterpart  to  the 
I.V.C.F.,  and  for  the  counsel  given  to  this  side  of  the 
work  by  the  council  which  meets  regularly. 

The  establishing  of  evangelical  indigenous  student 
groups  in  Japanese  universities,  we  feel,  will  do  much 
towards  winning  tomorrow's  leaders  for  Christ  and  His 
Church  today.  We  trust  the  I.V.C.F.  will  be  used  to 
that  end. 


THE  YMCA  OF  JAPAN 

by  Howard  L.  Haag 

This  year  1953  will  go  down  in  history  as  a  most 
eventful  point  of  reference  in  Japan.  With  all  the  inter 
national  galaxy  of  issues  and  problems  in  parade  here  in 
the  Far  East,  those  who  are  interested  in  catching  up 
the  interesting  forward  steps  of  progress  of  Christ's  Way 
in  Japan  may  well  stop  to  remember  a  significant  event 
which  took  place  in  1903.  It  was  just  50  years  ago  that 
the  two  movements,  the  City  Young  Men's  Christian 
Associations  and  the  Student  Young  Men's  Christian 
Association,  joined  forces  to  create  the  National  Com 
mittee  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Associations  of 
Japan. 

This  National  Committee  which  is  now  the  coordina 
ting  body  uniting  all  phases  of  the  Association  movement 
becomes,  not  a  central  board  of  control,  but  a  federation 
of  locally  autonomous  organizations.  This  characteristic 
of  local  autonomy  of  the  YMCA  is  one  which  is  little 
understood  generally.  It  is  essential  to  the  Association 
movement  around  the  world.  Each  city,  student,  or  com 
munity  YMCA  is  an  entity  in  itself,  except  as  some  of 
the  large  associations  do  reach  out  into  the  city  in  which 
they  have  their  central  bodies  and  create  branches.  The 

291 


292  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

general  rule  still  remains,  however,  that  local  associations 
are  self-governing,  self-directing,  self-financing  and  quite 
independent  of  each  and  every  other  association.  Thus  it 
is  that  each  national  movement  is  quite  independent  from 
each  and  every  other  national  Association  movement.  It 
is  a  mistaken  idea  that  the  World's  Alliance  in  Geneva, 
Switzerland,  in  any  way  controls  national  YMCA  move 
ments.  The  World's  Alliance  by  its  very  nature  is  an 
alliance  of  member  organizations,  namely,  the  various 
national  councils  or  committees  of  the  YMCA  within 
some  seventy  nations.  The  same  relationship  exists 
between  the  member  national  movements  in  the  World's 
Alliance  as  exists  between  the  local  associations  of  a 
given  nation  and  its  own  national  council  or  com 
mittee. 

Often  inquiries  are  made  as  to  the  relationship  of 
the  National  Committee  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian 
Associations  of  Japan  with  the  International  Committee  of 
the  Young  Men's  Christian  Associations  of  North  America. 
The  fact  of  the  matter  is  that  there  is  no  other  relation 
ship  save  that  of  the  latter  being  an  aiding  movement. 
Legally  and  formally  there  is  no  authoritative  relationship. 
The  International  Committee  has  for  the  last  seventy 
years  held  itself  ready  to  stand  by  to  aid  by  lending 
leadership  when  that  aid  has  been  called  for.  It  has 
also,  in  times  of  disaster  such  as  devastation  by  war  or 
other  calamities,  been  ready  to  render  some  financial  aid 
in  reconstruction  of  buildings  or  the  training  of  staff.  This 


THE  YMCA  OF  JAPAN  293 

aid,  however,  is  always  given  with  complete  assurance 
to  the  national  movement  that  its  autonomy  will  not  in 
any  way  be  infringed  upon.  As  it  lends  fraternal  secre 
taries,  these  men  go  to  the  asking  country  to  work  under 
the  guidance  of  the  national  movement  and  without  any 
authority  other  than  they  may  have  as  specialists  in  one 
of  the  many  phases  of  the  total  YMCA  work.  An 
example  of  this  may  be  found  in  the  case  of  the  fraternal 
secretaries  working  with  the  National  Committee  of  the 
YMCA  of  Japan.  Here,  upon  request  of  the  National 
Committee,  we  have  five  fraternal  secretaries,  one  in 
general  administration,  one  in  student  work,  one  in  boys' 
work  and  camping,  one  in  physical  and  recreation  work 
and  one  in  Christian  emphasis.  Nor  are  all  these  men 
from  the  United  States.  One  is  from  the  Canadian 
Association  and  one  is  from  the  Swedish  Association.  In 
each  case  these  men  work  with  a  counterpart  secretary 
who  is  the  senior  Japanese  director  of  the  department 
of  work  in  question.  Each  of  these  departments  has  its 
own  national  departmental  committee  which  is  a  sub 
committee  of  the  National  Committee  and  works  in 
coordination  with  the  local  student  and  city  associations 
which  make  up  the  national  movement. 

When  reviewing  the  history  of  the  National  Com 
mittee  of  the  YMCA  of  Japan  it  must  be  noted  that 
though  this  body  is  now  celebrating  its  fiftieth  anniver 
sary,  the  local  student  and  city  associations  which  make 
it  up  are  in  many  cases  much  older  than  this.  The  Osaka 


294  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

YMCA  was  founded  in  1882.  The  Tokyo  Association 
was  founded  in  1880.  It  was  largely  the  call  of 
student  work  which  caused  the  first  fraternal  secretary, 
John  T.  Swift,  to  come  to  Japan.  When  he  arrived  in 
1889  he  found  the  two  above-mentioned  associations  "in 
good  condition."  They  were  ministering  to  Christian 
education  of  students  and  otherwise  conducting  programs 
of  value  to  the  young  men  of  the  cities.  It  was  under 
the  leadership  of  men  like  Mr.  S.  Niwa  of  Tokyo  that 
the  city  association  movement  was  built.  With  Mr.  I. 
Fujita  as  first  secretary,  the  Tokyo  Imperial  University 
YMCA  was  founded.  These  two  will  serve  as  examples 
to  show  that  the  two  movements  were  growing  side 
by  side.  As  the  city  associations  spread  and  grew, 
the  student  associations  did  likewise.  City  buildings 
were  built  and  began  to  serve  the  vast  number  of 
young  men  who  crowded  the  cities  of  Japan.  The 
universities  likewise  called  for  more  and  more  of  the 
student  associations.  Though  not  all  had  buildings 
the  movement  grew  in  strength.  It  was  natural  that 
these  two  phases  of  the  YMCA  work  should  have  their 
own  federations.  Though  there  was  no  "split"  in  the 
structure  of  the  YMCA  as  a  whole,  the  very  divergence 
of  the  nature  of  the  work  from  the  beginning  led  to  the 
development  of  these  two  phases.  It  was  natural  also 
as  time  went  on  and  common  problems  and  overlap 
ping  functions  brought  these  two  national  groups  into 
constant  contact,  that  there  would  be  thought  of  getting 


THE  YMCA  OF  JAPAN  295 

together  in  some  kind  of  federation  as  exists  in  other 
countries  of  the  world.  The  National  Council  or  the 
assembly  of  representatives  of  both  these  bodies  was 
called  for.  In  1903  the  final  formation  was  made  and  the 
National  Committee  in  its  present  form  came  into  being. 
These  have  been  fifty  rich  years.  Growth  has  been 
beyond  the  expectations  of  the  founding  fathers.  Today 
the  student  work  extends  into  158  universities  in  Japan. 
Some  5,000  students  are  affiliated  together  in  this  enter 
prise  which  is  undoubtedly  the  largest  and  strongest 
national  Christian  student  body  of  the  land.  At  the  same 
time  the  city  associations  have  grown.  Today  there  are 
33  city  associations  affiliated  in  the  National  Committee. 
Many  other  cities  are  in  process  of  establishing  local 
associations  and  asking  for  instructions  as  to  how  to 
become  affiliated.  The  city  associations  are  extending 
their  work  in  the  field  of  boys'  activities.  It  is  felt  that 
this  age  group  between  grade  school  and  university  is  one 
which  should  have  major  attention.  For  this  purpose  a 
National  Boys'  Work  Committee  has  been  organized.  In 
this  department  the  Hi-Y  Clubs  unite  to  further  their 
work  among  high  school  students.  They  have  their 
National  Hi-Y  Fellowship.  Over  one  hundred  clubs  are  a 
part  of  this  movement  today.  This  Boys'  Work  Com 
mittee  has  relationship  to  the  work  of  seven  boys'  camps 
throughout  the  nation.  These  camps  are  largely  under 
the  direction  of  local  city  associations.  The  National 
Committee  assists  in  program  and  training  of  leaders, 


296  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

A  phase  of  work  re-activated  since  the  war  is  the 
emphasis  on  recreation  and  physical  education.  This 
was  a  great  work  of  the  YMCA  of  Japan  under  the 
leadership  of  Franklin  Brown.  It  has  been  recently 
renewed  with  a  fraternal  secretary  working  with  a  special 
national  committee  and  Japanese  staff  cooperating  with 
local  associations. 

Better  methods  of  Christian  education  are  now  being 
emphasized  in  local  and  student  associations  since  a 
National  Christian  Work  Committee  is  working  with 
another  fraternal  secretary  and  Japanese  staff.  Here 
again  the  National  Committee  finds  ways  of  supplemen 
ting  the  work  of  the  local  Y  and  aiding  it  to  make  its 
work  more  effective  and  far-reaching. 

Thus  the  National  Committee  of  the  Young  Men's 
Christian  Associations  of  Japan  celebrates .  its  fiftieth 
year  with  a  strong  forward-looking  program.  In  the 
years  to  come  new  associations  will  be  formed.  New 
staff  will  be  trained.  New  laymen  will  throw  their  lives 
into  this  great  Christian  service  to  supplement  the  work 
of  the  Christian  churches  of  Japan. 


THE  SALVATION  ARMY 

by  Charles  Davidson 

Salvationists  in  Japan  continued  throughout  the  year 
1952  to  steadily  pursue  the  Army's  postwar  program 
of  spiritual  and  physical  renewal.  Highlighting  the  year 
was  the  visit  of  General  Albert  Orsborn,  international 
leader  from  London,  whose  week-long  campaign,  follow 
ing  an  extensive  tour  through  the  United  States,  had 
been  the  subject  of  earnest  prayer  and  happy  anticipa 
tion.  An  able  and  inspired  evangelist,  General  Orsborn 
thrilled  his  audiences  in  Tokyo,  Osaka,  Kyoto  and 
Kobe,  and  Salvationists  rejoiced  in  the  evidence  of  the 
blessing  of  the  Holy  Spirit  upon  these  gatherings  as 
hundreds  confessed  their  need  of  Christ.  The  Emperor 
graciously  received  the  General  who  also  had  opportunity 
for  cordial  interviews  and  discussions  with  the  Prime 
Minister,  the  Supreme  Commander  and  other  leading 
personalities. 

Increasing  emphasis  is  being  placed  upon  outdoor 
evangelism,  even  at  the  smaller  centers  where  truly  it 
is  a  matter  of  two  or  three  gathering  together  in  the 
Master's  name.  Efforts  also  are  being  made  to  replace 
at  least  some  of  the  Salvation  Army  literature  destroyed 
in  1940.  Publications  recently  issued — of  immediate  inter 
est  to  Salvationists  but  also  of  general  interest  to  other 

297 


298  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

Christians — include  some  of  the  writings  of  the  late 
beloved  Gunpei  Yamaniuro,  and  also  of  one  of  his  dear 
friends,  Samuel  Logan  Brengle  of  the  U.S.A.  Several 
additional  centers  of  evangelism  have  been  opened, 
notably  in  Okayama,  Tokyo  and  Hokkaido,  in  each  of 
which  a  new  establishment  has  been  erected.  , 

The  training  of  selected  young  men  and  women  for 
full-time  service  continues.  Likewise  periodic  training 
institutes  are  arranged  for  all  those  sharing  responsibility 
for  young  people's  activities.  Of  special  note  and  benefit 
was  the  refresher  course  organized  for  all  postwar 
officers,  in  addition  to  which  a  group  of  more  than  100 
"  local  officers "  (lay- workers)  spent  three  days  in 
council  and  conference  with  Commissioner  Uyemura.  The 
Army's  social  service  operations  continue  to  reflect  the 
basic  precept  of  service  to  God  and  service  to  man.  It 
is  felt  that  with  the  many  admirable  social  reforms  under 
taken  by  the  authorities  and  public  preoccupation  with 
a  materialistic  philosophy,  the  danger  of  religion  being 
relegated  to  the  sidelines  or  removed  entirely  presents 
an  acute  and  constant  challenge  to  the  Christian  social 
worker.  Improved  techniques  and  improved  equipment 
call  for  better  approaches  on  the  spiritual  level.  Earnest 
efforts  are  being  made  along  these  lines.  During  1952  a 
new  home  for  young  women  was  opened  in  Tokyo, 
the  financing  of  which  was  shared  equally  by  the 
organization  in  Japan  and  its  good  friends  in  the  U.S.A. 
A  well-equipped  dormitory  for  nurses  was  also  added  to 


THE  SALVATION  ARMY  299 

the   facilities   of   the   Army's  Suginami    Sanitarium   for 
T.B.  patients. 

Representing  International  Headquarters,  London, 
Colonel  Davidson  made  several  visits  to  Korea  to 
encourage  Salvationists  there,  and  organized  the  dispatch 
of  food,  clothing  and  funds  to  help  maintain  the  Army's 
operations  in  that  distressed  and  war-torn  country. 


THE  AMERICAN  FRIENDS  SERVICE 
COMMITTEE 

by  Anna  Brinton 

The  work  of  the  American  Friends  Service  Committee 
in  Japan  includes  relief,  social  service  and  peace  educa 
tion. 

More  than  $250,000  worth  of  relief  supplies  con 
tributed  by  the  AFSC  was  distributed  by  LARA  in  1952 
before  the  LARA  program  came  to  an  end.  Powdered 
whole  milk  and  clothing  made  up  the  bulk  of  the  ship 
ments.  Milk  stations  and  orphanages  are  especially 
grateful  for  the  sustained  support  which  continued  for 
six  years  from  1946-1952. 

Three  neighborhood  centers  have  continued  to  be 
maintained,  two  in  Tokyo  and  one  in  Mito.  The  center 
at  Toyama  Heights,  Tokyo,  is  situated  in  a  housing 
project  with  a  population  of  5,000  middle-class  people. 
Its  activities  include  classes  in  abacus  calculation, 
art,  flower  arrangement,  folk  games  and  dances,  the 
making  and  manipulation  of  puppets,  and  music,  includ 
ing  chorus  (both  Japanese  and  English),  piano  playing 
and  recorded  music.  A  sewing  room  equipped  with  three 
machines  is  available  each  morning.  There  is  a  women's 
group  which  often  engages  in  sewing  for  relief  projects. 
Equipment  is  available  for  such  sports  as  baseball,  volley 
ball  and  ping-pong.  Within  the  past  year  study  groups 

300 


THE  AMERICAN  FRIENDS  SERVICE  COMMITTEE      301 

have  discussed  current  events  and  the  theory  and  practice 
of  the  Society  of  Friends.  A  kindergarten  with  an 
enrollment  of  75  children  forms  an  important  part  of  the 
program.  The  library,  open  six  evenings  a  week,  is 
frequented  largely  by  students.  The  well- warmed  hall  is 
used  for  public  meetings.  Participants  in  the  center's 
activity  increasingly  draw  in  others  both  from  within 
and  from  outside  the  community. 

The  other  Tokyo  center  is  in  the  government  camp 
for  repatriated  and  displaced  persons  at  Setagaya  Go. 
Here  in  a  comparatively  small  slum  area  as  many  as  8,000 
people  are  living  under  crowded  and  primitive  conditions 
in  old  Japanese  army  barracks.  The  recreational,  intel 
lectual  and  cultural  program  of  the  neighborhood  center 
is  designed  to  stir  people  out  of  the  mental  and  spiritual 
lethargy  arising  from  their  depressed  condition  and  pro 
vide  some  meaning  and  interest  in  life.  With  the  regular 
help  of  a  volunteer  doctor,  health  instruction  is  given. 
There  is  also  a  kindergarten.  It  is  estimated  that  within 
a  week  four  to  five  hundred  people  use  the  center  in 
one  way  or  another.  A  day  nursery  initiated  in  1949  is 
serving  65  children  (ages  two  to  four)  of  day-laboring 
mothers.  It  is  housed  in  a  building  beside  the  center. 

The  neighborhood  center  in  Mito,  Ibaraki  Prefecture, 
is  situated  in  the  premises  of  the  Friends  Meeting.  It 
offers  a  program  similar  to  that  of  the  center  at  Toyama 
Heights. 

Weekend  work  camps,  21  in   all,  were  carried  on   in 


302  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 


the  Tokyo  area  between  March  and  November,  1952. 
Seven  were  at  Kodomo-no-machi,  an  orphanage  outside 
of  Tokyo.  Three  were  at  a  home  for  dependent  women 
and  children  inside  the  city  and  the  rest  were  at  Setagaya 
Go.  Their  purpose  is  to  provide  peace  education  by  means 
of  an  opportunity  for  young  people  from  a  variety  of 
backgrounds  to  cooperate  in  manual  work  to  meet  com 
munity  needs  and  to  help  the  local  people  to  realize  what 
their  own  responsibilities  are.  Playgrounds  and  in  some 
cases  roads  have  been  developed  and  existing  facilities 
have  been  repaired  and  improved.  Besides  mitigating 
psychological  tensions,  work  camps  have  taught  people 
how  to  help  themselves  to  improve  their  depressed  con 
ditions. 

An  International  Student  Seminar  has  been  held  in 
Japan  under  the  auspices  of  the  American  Friends  Service 
Committee  each  year  since  1949.  As  in  Austria,  Denmark, 
France,  Germany,  Holland,  the  United  States,  India  and 
elsewhere,  these  seminars  have  brought  together  for 
from  two  to  seven  weeks  30  to  60  young  men  and  women 
of  many  lands  and  diverse  experience.  They  live,  work, 
study  and  meditate  together.  The  object  is  to  build  a 
durable  peace  by  creating  mutual  friendship  and  under 
standing  that  transcends  barriers  of  nationality,  race  and 
culture.  It  is  also  hoped  to  inculcate  a  sense  of  personal 
responsibility  for  peace  and  practical  peace-making. 

In  the  summer  of  1952  two  seminars  were  held 
in  Japan,  one  at  Tsuda  College  in  Tokyo  (enrollment 


THfe  AMERICAN  FRIENDS  SERVICE  COMMITTEE       303 

60)  and  one  at  Kobe  College  in  the  Kansai  (enrollment 
42) .  They  were  attended  by  both  men  and  women.  Nine 
nationalities  were  represented.  Leaders,  who  shared  all 
aspects  of  the  seminar  life  (recreation,  meditation  and 
worship  as  well  as  the  lectures  and  discussions),  came 
from  Japan,  the  USA,  India,  France,  Great  Britain  and 
Germany.  The  theme  of  both  seminars  was  "  Nationalism 
and  World  Peace."  An  effort  was  made  to  go  beyond 
academic  analysis  to  a  more  practical  or  personal  approach 
to  the  problems  that  confront  emergent  Asia.  After 
occasional  heated  arguments  it  was  deeply  moving  to 
feel  a  sense  of  penitence  in  the  group  as  a  whole  and 
an  even  closer  fellowship  than  before.  The  whole  exper 
ience  of  living  together  and  sharing  responsibility  for  all 
the  seminar's  activities  contributed  effectively  to  the 
attainment  of  its  objectives.  During  the  winter,  reunions 
and  occasional  lectures  or  series  of  lectures  help  to  con 
tinue  the  process  begun  in  the  seminars. 


THE  FELLOWSHIP  OF  RECONCILIATION 

by  Paul  M.  Sekiya 

During  the  year  1952  the  FOR  attempted  to  promote 
the  cause  of  Christian  pacifism  by  nourishing  the  grass 
roots  of  the  movement  by  means  of  group  studies,  month 
ly  meetings  and  the  annual  conference.  The  main  effort 
has  been  directed  towards  arousing  public  opinion  and 
taking  a  firm  stand  against  rearmament  and  the  rising 
tide  of  thought-control  which  is  a  forboding  of  the  re 
birth  of  a  police  state. 

The  second  National  Conference  of  FOR  held  at 
Nishinomiya  in  August  provided  a  unique  opportunity  for 
mutual  acquaintance  as  well  as  encouragement  bringing 
about  a  closer  fellowship  among  the  members  residing 
great  distances  apart.  The  conference  issued  two  state 
ments,  one  against  rearmament  and  the  other  for  the 
acceleration  of  the  release  of  Japanese  war  criminals. 

During  the  summer  members  of  FOR  participated  in 
a  work  camp  for  eight  days,  digging  a  well  for  a  com 
munity  of  outcast  people  (known  as  "  Eta  ")  in  a  village 
in  Shiga  Prefecture.  Such  projects  help  to  break  down 
barriers  between  the  village  people  and  the  outcasts. 
Similar  projects  should  be  undertaken  hereafter  by  FOR 
to  improve  relationships  between  Japanese  and  Koreans. 

In  the  general  election  for  members  of  the  House  of 
Representatives  on  October  1,  it  was  encouraging  that 

304 


THE  FELLOWSHIP  OF  RECONCILIATION  305 

the  Socialist  Party,  standing  against  rearmament,  gained 
strength  especially  in  the  urban  districts  although  the 
Liberal  Party  favoring  rearmament  won  a  majority  of 
votes.  FOR  must  redouble  its  effort  to  stem  the  tide  of 
rearmament  and  thought-control  in  the  future. 

Items  of  special  emphasis  for  the  year  of  1953  are 
as  follows  : 

(1)  Formation  of  cells  in   colleges    and   universities. 
An   FOR    group    has    been    formed    at    Doshisha 
University  in  Kyoto. 

(2)  Work  camp  project  with  a  definite    program  of 
reconciliation  similar  to  the  one  in   Shiga    Prefec 
ture  mentioned  in  this  article. 

(3)  Prayer  and  lecture  meetings. 

(4)  Increased  publication  and  literary  activity  : 

a.  Monthly  organ,  "Yuwa" 

b.  Pamphlets  published  at  irregular  intervals 

c.  Leaflets 

d.  Writing   or   translating    a    standard    book  on 
Christian  pacifism 

(5)  Systematic  visits  to  local  FOR  groups  by  teams 
consisting  of  two  leaders  per  team. 

In  1952  FOR  raised  ¥142,000  in  Japan  and  received 
¥336,000  from  the  United  States.  It  had  200  members 
and  21  associate  members  in  addition  to  at  least  22  known 
sympathizers  in  the  Tokyo  area  alone.  Of  the  200 
members  31  are  American  and  Canadian  missionaries. 
During  1952  about  70  Japanese  persons  and  15  missionaries 


306  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

joined  the  FOR  in  Japan.  There  are  now  24  chapters 
located  in  the  following  places:  Sapporo,  Otaru,  Obihiro, 
Kushiro,  Hakodate,  Fukushima,  Tokyo,  Yokosuka,  Gumma, 
Shizuoka,  Nagano,  Hachiman-machi,  Wakayama,  Kyoto, 
Osaka,  Kobe,  Himeji,  Hiroshima,  Yamaguchi,  Fukuoka.

THE  INTERNATIONAL  UNION  OF 
GOSPEL  MISSIONS,  INC. 

by  Hugh  Moreton 

The  IUGM  is  the  largest  association  of  rescue  missions 
in  the  world,  though  it  is  a  newcomer  to  Japan.  How 
ever,  its  forty  years  of  experience  qualifies  it  to  launch  a 
long-overdue  ministry  in  Japan.  Its  impact  upon  the 
modern  world  can  be  appraised  by  its  aggregate  invest 
ments  excess  of  $27,000,000  with  annual  budgets  exceed 
ing  $4,000,000.  Its  enterprises  sprawl  all  over  the  United 
States.  Recently  it  has  flung  out  branches  to  Europe, 
Africa  and  Israel.  In  1951  its  first  beacon  in  the  Far 
East,  the  Tokyo  Gospel  Mission,  was  established.  The 
Mission,  as  a  vanguard  of  other  rescue  missions  to  be 
anchored  in  the  big  industrial  cities  of  Japan,  is  organized 
as  a  vital,  strategic  bridgehead,  as  New  York  was  the 
historic  IUGM  base  from  which  radiated  out  rescue 
ministries  across  the  American  continent. 

As  a  fellowship,  the  IUGM  is  an  association  of  rescue 
missions  in  good  standing  with  the  evangelical  churches 
and  having  community  endorsement.  It  is  therefore  not 
a  competitor  with  local  churches  but  is  rather  their  com 
plement.  Its  special  emphasis  in  Japan  is  the  poor,  the 
underprivileged,  the  lowly.  It  seeks  to  furnish  for  this 
class  the  emancipating  Gospel  as  a  full-orbed  dynamic 
for  physical,  mental  and  spiritual  maladies.  Its  media 

307 


308  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

are  useful  employment,  men's  dormitories,  hostels,  or 
phanages,  women's  homes,  clinics  and  the  like.  Materially 
and  spiritually  its  business  is  to  serve  those  who  from 
misfortune  or  disease  are  destitute,  derelict,  or  delinquent. 

The  Mission  cannot  escape  the  grim  challenge  of 
human  debris  swirling  like  flotsam  and  jetsam  in  the  wake 
of  World  War  II.  The  appalling  wave  of  demoralization 
that  swept  into  Japan  like  a  tidal  wave  was  reflected  in 
criminal  statistics,  vagrancy,  street-girls  and  clandestine 
dope-peddlars.  Although  the  800,000  demolished  homes 
of  the  world's  third  largest  metropolis  have  in  these 
eight  years  been  largely  replaced  and  the  number  of 
3,000,000  homeless  has  been  reduced,  the  field  of  service 
for  a  handful  of  missionaries  is  practically  limitless  and 
the  need  is  urgent. 

The  activites  of  the  IUGM  in  Japan  are  necessarily 
still  in  the  pioneering  stage,  but  it  is  a  cause  for  gratitude 
that  during  1952  a  humble  beginning  has  been  registered 
in  four  fields  of  specialized  Christian  service,  a  narrative 
of  which  follows. 

Orphans 

That  the  Welfare  Ministry  during  1952  registered 
26,594  orphans  in  orphanages  throughout  Japan  (4,620  in 
Tokyo)  of  whom  482  were  of  mixed  parentage  is 
plausible.  However,  if  the  estimation  be  accurate,  20,000 
to  200,000  offspring  of  mixed  illegitimate  unions  are  dis 
tinctly  the  responsibility  of  rescue  missions,  as  are  other 


THE  INTERNATIONAL  UNION  OF  GOSPEL  MISSIONS    309 

uncared  for  miscellaneous  orphans.  Accordingly,  to  cope 
with  the  large  number  of  vagrant,  homeless  orphans  at 
large,  the  first  building  unit  under  lUGM's  comprehensive 
program  to  open  its  doors  during  1952  was  an  orphanage 
situated  in  Musashi  Sakai.  The  year  also  witnessed  the 
launching  of  a  vigorous  Sunday  School  and  Bible  classes 
at  the  Tokyo  Metropolitan  Shakujii  Orphanage,  the  first 
Christian  enterprise  in  its  long  81  years'  history !

In  spite  of  lUGM's  being  a  probationer  it  cannot  be 
inactive  before  the  tragedy  and  pathos  of  17  red-light 
districts  in  Tokyo  unofficially  authorized  by  the  govern 
ment.  Since  the  Prostitution  Penalties  Bill  was  pigeon 
holed  in  the  second  1952  Diet  session,  harlotry  is  de  facto 
permitted,  which  makes  Japan  about  the  only  nation 
where  there  is  no  law  directly  to  combat  prostitution. 
The  work  is  complicated  by  70,000  to  80,000  girls  cater 
ing  exclusively  to  members  of  the  United  Nations'  forces. 
Any  attempt  to  instigate  measures  for  the  manumission 
of  these  unfortunate  girls  has  to  be  considered  in  the 
light  of  the  sad  and  startling  fact  that  they  earn  some 
$200,000,000  in  foreign  exchange  for  their  country,  and 
this  item  is  second  only  to  special  procurement  demands 
in  Japan's  favorable  balance  of  invisible  trade!  In  1945 
the  problem  v/as  relatively  simple  with  537  specially 
licensed  restaurants  employing  professional  women.  In 
1952  that  number  had  spiraled  to  1,082.  This  delicate 


310  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

job  bristling  with  complexities  is  to  be  tackled  by  a  team 
of  skilled,  spiritual  workers,  patient  and  expert  in  the 
art.  The  Metropolitan  Police  Department  arrested  in  the 
first  half  of  the  year  under  review  3,671  prostitutes  of 
whom  1,382  were  consorting  with  non- Japanese. 

With  painstaking  care  IUGM  surveyed  these  17 
notorious  city  segments,  not  failing  to  render  Christian 
witness  to  the  girls  and  their  landlords.  In  one  case  at 
Tamanoi  (an  area  with  about  200  "  special  cafes "  and 
nearly  1,000  girls)  a  girl  declared  that  she  had  been  under 
Christian  influence  in  Karuizawa !  It  is  common  for  these 
young  country  women  to  be  sold  from  Y10,000  to  Y20,000, 
most  of  them  hailing  from  the  Tohoku  District.  In  some 
cases  children  are  "  sold  "  for  a  pittance.  The  compensa 
tion  for  this  sacrifice  of  virtue  is  frequently  Yl,000  and 
occasionally  ¥400  a  month.  The  youngest  girl  traded 
in  this  shameful  way  was  nine  years  old!  We  search 
our  hearts  and  ask :  "  What  would  Christ  say  and  do 
about  these  cases?  "  The  wretchedness  of  the  pernicious 
business  is  slightly  mitigated  when  we  learn  that  885 
human  traffic  brokers  (who  normally  charge  Y2,000  to 
Y3,000  for  each  transaction)  were  arrested  during  the 
first  half  of  1952.  Christian  agencies  accepting  the  re 
sponsibility  for  this  type  of  work  can  never  rest  till 
positive,  successful  steps  are  taken  to  "  rescue  the  perish 
ing"  and  properly  rehabilitate  them.  The  Mission  ac 
cordingly  plans  to  establish  a  home  for  girls.

Vagrancy 

In  the  20  larger  cities  of  Japan  (each  with  a  popula 
tion  of  over  200,000)  there  are  188  slum  areas  compris 
ing  45,884  households  with  181,279  inmates.  In  Tokyo 
there  are  as  many  as  54  slum  districts  and  5,000  indigents 
with  over  1,760  households  concentrated  in  the  shanties 
of  Ueno  Park,  Sumida  Park,  Akashigawa  and  Ochanomizu  ; 
this  is  in  addition  to  the  more  than  8,900  vagrants  housed 
in  33  dormitories.  As  a  Mission  we  are  grateful  for  the 
efforts  being  made  by  the  government  to  combat  the 
need.  Under  the  Daily  Life  Security  Law  as  many  as 
2,000,000  persons  (2.5%  of  the  total  population)  are  now 
receiving  public  assistance.  This,  together  with  valiant 
efforts  of  other  relief  agencies  at  work  in  Japan,  must  be 
implemented.  Food,  clothing,  practical  assistance,  tinctur 
ed  and  imbued  with  the  Spirit  of  Christ,  have  been  the 
year's  ministries  to  vagrant  communities  including  the 
Ueno  subway  group. 

Other  Work 

With  over  80,000  persons  in  Japan  narcotic  addicts  last 
year  (women  accounting  for  about  40%  of  registered  ad 
dicts)  medical  and  spiritual  aid  must  be  rendered.  Therefore 
ministries  were  furnished  to  Kanto  Medical  Reformatory, 
Tama  Boys'  Reformatory  and  the  Murayama  Leprosarium. 
Personal  evangelism  amongst  the  homosexuals  of  Ueno 
Park  during  early  evenings  was  conducted. 


312  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

With  a  view  to  establishing  a  network  of  rescue 
missions  embracing  the  principal  cities  of  Japan,  a 
panoramic  survey  of  Kyushu,  Hokkaido  and  Honshu 
Islands  was  achieved.  The  Japan  board  relays  fortnightly 
on-the-spot  reports  to  the  American  board  (of  which 
rescue  specialists  Mrs.  Billy  Sunday  and  Dr.  Homer 
Rodeheaver  are  members).  To  veteran  Christian  churches 
and  missions  in  Japan  we  ask  to  be  an  adjunct.  In  the 
spirit  of  the  early  bondslaves  of  Christ  we  offer  unstint- 
ingly  cooperation  with  and  contribution  to  the  work  of 
God  in  Japan,

We  often  read  the  saying  of  journalists  that  "  at 
present  the  outstanding  characteristic  in  the  Japanese 
reading  world  is  the  rivalry  between  communist  books 
and  the  Bible.  These  books  are  seen  in  every  city  and 
town  and  are  read  widely.  It  will  be  interesting  to  see 
which  will  win  the  mind  of  the  Japanese  people.  So  many 
Scriptures  have  been  sold  and  read  by  Japanese  after 
the  war."  Because  of  this  situation,  Japanese  journalism 
has  never  missed  an  opportunity  of  touching  on  Bible 
work.  They  are  not  ignorant  of  the  fact  that  the  Bible 
has  been  the  best  seller  during  those  days  and  they  have 
been  criticizing  Japan's  postwar  social  situation  quoting 
Biblical  texts.  For  instance,  one  of  the  biggest  newspapers, 
Asahi,  denounced  too  gorgeous  Christmas  sales  and 
celebrations,  pointing  out  that,  while  more  than  three 
million  Scriptures  had  been  read  by  so  many  people  dur 
ing  the  year,  yet  the  average  Japanese  did  not  truly 
understand  the  significance  of  the  birth  of  Christ.  Asahi 
continued,  "  Our  people  ought  to  re-read  the  Bible  on 
this  Christmas  occasion."

liible  reading  among  Japanese 

It  is  a  peculiar  situation  that  although  during  the  last 
3  years  the  Japanese  people  bought  more  than  ten  million 
copies  of  the  Scriptures  church  attendance  has  not  in 
creased  proportionately.  In  Fukushima  Prefecture  three 
of  our  colporteur  pastors  arranged  Bible  lectures  by  Old 
and  New  Testament  scholars  in  3  cities.  They  charged 
20  yen  for  entrance  fees,  yet  they  had  an  audience  which 
was  from  outside  the  churches. 

It  is  said  that  there  are  about  fifty  thousand  "  non- 
church  "  Christians  in  Japan,  and  it  is  thought  that  their 
numbers  have  increased  lately.  It  is  reported  that  3,000 
copies  of  the  big  Bible  Dictionary  (Y2,500  a  copy)  and 
more  than  ten  thousand  copies  of  the  small  Bible 
Dictionary  have  been  sold  by  a  Christian  publisher  one 
month  after  publication.  According  to  the  publisher  most 
of  the  books  were  sold  to  people  who  do  not  belong  to 
the  churches.  This  situation  will  not  be  a  surprise  if  it 
is  remembered  that  more  than  99%  of  the  people  in 
Japan  are  literate.  Clearly  here  is  >a  field  awaiting 
evangelization,  the  field  being  those  who  have  the  Bible 
and  are  studying  it. 

Two  years  ago  a  member  of  our  staff  asked  if  it 
would  be  all  right  to  send  twelve  copies  of  the  Hebrew 
Bible  to  Shizuoka.  We  wrote  to  our  colporteur  pastor  who 
had  enquired  for  these  Hebrew  Bibles.  There  was  no 
mistake  about  his  request.  We  found  in  Shizuoka  that

an  Old  Testament  study  group  had  been  organized  in

Japanese  are  ready  to  accept  the  Bible 

From  April  to  November,  1952,  we  sold  1,353,541  copies 
of  Scriptures.  This  number  is  low  compared  with  four 
million  for  1951.  The  reasons  are: 

(1)  a  change  in  the  system  of  distribution  and 

(2)  too  much  emphasis  laid  on  the  early  publication 
of  the  new  colloquial  version. 

Firstly,  we  have  wasted  too  much  time  planning  and 
rearranging  the  distribution  system,  and  secondly,  sales 
were  held  up  because  people  have  hesitated  to  buy  the 
classical  version  of  the  Scriptures  because  of  the  announce- 


316  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

merit  that  the  new  and  better  colloquial  version  \va& 
coming  so  soon.  Yet,  according  to  our  colporteurs'  re 
ports,  people  are  wishing  to  buy  and  read  the  Scriptures. 

Year  of  colloquial   versions 

1952  will  be  remembered  as  the  year  colloquial  ver 
sions  were  much  discussed  in  Japanese  reading  circles.  Mr. 
Tsukamoto,  one  of  the  leaders  among  "  non-church  "  in 
dependent  Christian  groups,  announced  the  projected 
publication  in  April,  1954,  of  his  translation  of  the  New 
Testament  while  Dr.  Kagawa's  Kirisuto  Shimbun  version 
of  the  New  Testament  came  out  in  November  fulfill 
ing  great  expectations.  Every  time,  and  on  every  one 
of  the  newspapers  pages  where  these  individual  col 
loquial  translations  are  introduced,  our  J.  B.  S.  revision 
work  is  mentioned  and  the  hope  expressed  that  a  better 
and  more  digested  authorized  colloquial  version  may  be 
worked  out  soon  by  the  Japan  Bible  Society. 

There  should  be  no  need  of  mentioning  that  among 
the  drastic  changes  in  Japan  that  took  place  after  the  war, 
the  change  of  the  language  style  might  be  counted  as 
one  of  the  biggest,  especially  in  the  educational  world. 
Government,  and  even  the  Imperial  Family,  have  adopted 
the  colloquial  style,  abandoning  the  long  cherished 
literary  style.  In  the  grammar  and  high  schools  only 
colloquial  language  is  being  used  and  young  people 
graduate  who  are  able  to  read  only  in  colloquial. 

In  this  situation,  while  our  Japanese  Bible    has   been 


JAPAN  BIBLE  SOCIETY  317 

respected  and  loved  as  beautiful  Japanese,  it  lias  come1 
to  be  placed  among  the  classics  and  has  lost  its  power 
with  the  youngsters.  There  has  been  an  urgent  need  for 
a  colloquial  authorized  Bible,  and  the  J.  B.  S.  (with  the 
help  of  A.  B.  S.  and  B.  F.  B.  S.)  started  work  on  this 
Colloquial  Version  in  1951.  It  was  started  with  the 
expectation  that  both  the  Old  and  New  Testament 
would  be  completed  within  three  years — by  1954. 

Special  distributions 

We  have  received  requests  from  many  Bible  societies 
for  Japanese  Scriptures.  We  find  these  are  for  Japanese 
P.  O.  W.,s  who  must  remain  behind  in  various  parts  of 
Asia.  Stimulated  by  this  newrs,  J.  B.  S.  specially  distribut 
ed  Scriptures  among  foreign  people  in  Japan.  Naturally, 
most  of  these  went  to  the  Koreans.  We  distributed  about 
1,000  copies  of  Korean  Scriptures  among  the  Koreans  who 
are  on  Tsushima  Island,  which  lies  between  Japan  and 
Korea,  and  about  1,000  copies  for  the  Koreans  who  are 
in  prisons  throughout  the  country. 

Last  year  we  sent  two  trained  colporteurs  to  Rebun 
and  Rishiri,  the  most  northerly  islands  off  Hokkaido. 
Those  islands  had  never  been  touched  by  our  colporteurs 
even  before  the  war,  and  when  our  colporteurs  landed 
and  visited  the  head  officers  of  the  islands,  they  were 
introduced  among  the  crowds  at  shrine  festivals  and 
were  given  the  opportunity  of  selling  over  3,000  copies. 
They  were  also  invited  to  many  village  meetings  to  speak 


318  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

on  the  Word  of  God. 

Rev.  T.  Miyakoda,  the  general  secretary,  and  Mr. 
M.  Sakata,  attended  the  United  Bible  Societies  General 
Conference  at  Ootacamund  in  South  India  and  their  visit 
to  many  Bible  Societies  is  recorded  with  many  thanks. 

The  appointment  of  a  representative  of  the  J.  B.  S. 
to  the  standing  committee  of  the  U.  B.  S.  is  a  matter 
of  pride  and  satisfaction  to  all. 

Step  towards  self-support 

This  year  at  the  autumn  general  directors  meeting 
we  appointed  50  members  of  an  Advisory  Council.  The 
first  advisory  meetings  were  held  in  December  at  Osaka 
and  Tokyo.  Mr.  D.  Takei,  president  of  Showa  Sangyo 
Co.,  was  elected  chairman.  Mr.  Watanabe,  president  of 
Sanwa  Bank,  vice-chairman,  Mr.  Hata  (Tokyo) ,  manager 
of  Asahi  Slate  Co.,  and  Mr.  Anekawa  (Osaka),  business 
man,  were  elected  secretaries. 

Supporting  members  reached  300  by  the  end  of  the 
fiscal  year,  November  30th.  Contributions  of  all  sorts 
reached  Y737,501.25.  We  have  been  able  to  contribute 
our  share  for  revision  work  by  giving  Y590,000.00. 


MUKYOKAI 

(The  Non-Church  Group) 

by  Goro  Mayeda 

Since  Mukyokai  people  attach  no  importance  to  any 
organization  and  hence  keep  no  statistics,  it  is  impossible 
to  write  an  annual  report  with  exact  figures  specifically 
valid  for  1952  as  distinct  from  the  year  before.  These 
lines  are,  therefore,  a  supplement  to  the  brief  survey  of 
the  movement  given  by  the  same  author  in  the  Year 
book  of  1951. 

Generally  speaking,  Mukyokai  is  growing  strongly. 
Invisible  though  the  movement  is,  the  increase  of  the 
subscribers  to  Mukyokai  magazines  (mostly  for  Bible 
study)  and  the  development  of  Bible  study  groups  show 
how  deeply  and  widely  the  movement  is  taking  root  in 
Tokyo  and  elsewhere.  Especially  young  students  take 
an  interest  in  Mukyokai  because  many  of  them  have 
been  disappointed  or  even  disgusted  by  foreign-sponsored 
propaganda  in  spiritual  fields  coming  from  both  sides  of 
the  Pacific  On  the  one  hand,  in  obedience  to  the  orders 
of  the  "  peace-offensive "  they  stopped  throwing  acid- 
bottles  and  many  universities  and  colleges  experienced  a 
calm  campus  life  toward  the  end  of  1952,  but  it  does 
not  mean  that  materialism  decayed.  On  the  other  hand, 
foreign-aided  pastors  and  missionaries  do  not  appeal 
very  much  to  the  students  because  their  approach  is 

319 


320  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

rather  "  dollar-ly "  than  scholarly.  Unfortunately  the 
intellectual  level  of  Japanese  clergymen  is  on  the  average 
much  lower  than  that  of  university  professors.  It  goes 
without  saying  that  the  mounting  antipathy  against  the 
foreign  "  Christian "  troops  helps  to  cause  misunder 
standing  concerning  Christianity.  By  the  way,  most 
Japanese  intellectuals  are  quite  indifferent  to  the  so-called 
independence  given  in  1952.  This  lack  of  intellect  and 
blind  obedience  to  foreigners  keep  many  young  people 
away  from  the  churches.  In  this  connection  it  should 
be  pointed  out  that  faith  is  personal ;  since  a  nation 
consists  of  persons  similar  in  custom  and  language,  there 
is  a  national  form  of  Christian  life  distinct  from  other 
nations — for  instance,  German  Christians  live  and  think 
differently  from  English  Christians.  Thus,  faith  can  be 
and  should  be  national ;  that  is,  its  fruits  should  not  be 
forced  from  outside  but  should  democratically  come  out 
of  the  people  who  receive  the  Gospel. 

These  two  points,  the  one  intellectual  and  ethical 
and  the  other  democratic,  are  stressed  by  Mukyokai's 
advocate,  Kanzo  Uchimura,  and  his  followers.  Mukyokai 
has  many  leaders  who  are  actually  university  professors 
or  of  professor's  level ;  they  are  all  completely  independent 
from  foreign  missions  and  foreign-aided  organizations. 

However,  Mukyokai  adherents  are  not  only  intellec 
tuals  but  also  common  people.  Especially  in  rural  areas 
it  is  improving.  Magazines  are  sent  from  various  leaders, 
and  the  articles  help  in  the  conduct  of  family  worship 


MUKYOKAI  321 

and  Bible  study  with  full  respect  to  Japanese  customs 
and  ethics.  H.  Ishiwara  and  H.  Masaike  (both  editors 
of  their  own  periodicals)  are  working  as  itinerant  leaders 
among  farmers  and  fishermen.  Development  among  both 
intellectuals  and  non-intellectuals  is  one  of  the  character 
istics  of  the  recent  Mukyokai  movement. 

Further,  Mukyckai  is  not  only  national  but  wishes 
to  be  universal.  Its  "  non-church  "  (i.  e.,  rejection  of  ec 
clesiastical  organization,  water  baptism,  tangible  sacra 
ments,  etc.)  and  by  faith  alone  principles  have  been  warmly 
received  by  the  Korean  and  Formosan  peoples.  Since 
Uchimura's  days  they  have  had  periodicals  and  Bible 
study  groups,  and  after  the  war  fellowship  between  Japa 
nese  and  non-Japanese  Mukyokai  people  is  becoming 
closer.  Aid  to  Korean  friends  is  one  of  the  examples. 
In  fact,  many  Mukyokai  people  are  internationally  minded  ; 
world  peace  is  their  sincere  wish. 

K.  Kurosaki's  3  volume  Abridged  Commentaries  on 
the  Old  Testament  were  completed  in  1952.  This  means 
that  his  life  work  (in  addition  to  his  10  volume  New 
Testament  Commentaries,  1  vol.  Abridged  New  Testament 
Commentary,  and  Greek- Japanese  Concordance)  has  been 
brought  to  perfection.  A  thanksgiving  meeting  was  held 
in  Osaka. 

T.  Tsukamoto  is  preparing  his  New  Testament 
translation  in  colloquial  Japanese.  It  was  first  completely 
published  in  his  own  magazine,  so  he  is  the  pioneer  in 
this  matter,  What  will  be  printed  in  1953  will  be  a 


322  THE  CHRISTIAN  MOVEMENT  IN  JAPAN 

revised  and  annotated  edition. 

In  addition  to  his  duties  as  president  of  the  Uni 
versity  of  Tokyo,  T.  Yanaihara  holds  his  Bible  study 
meeting  every  Sunday  and  continues  his  monthly  magazine. 

The  fundamentalistic  movement  launched  by  some 
people  of  Kyushu,  where  the  Korean  War  was  more 
tragically  felt  than  elsewhere,  had  some  influence  on 
Mukyokai  people.  But  in  the  course  of  1952  it  became 
a  local  and  sectarian  phenomenon  at  the  city  of  Kuma- 
moto.  In  spite  of  the  fact  that  Mukyokai  has  no 
systematic  dogma  or  organized  leadership,  severe  criticism 
against  paganization  was  made  from  the  Biblical  view 
point,  and  Mukyokai  as  a  whole  proved  its  soundness  and 
strength  as  an  invisible  group  of  faith-centric  Christians. 

It  is  also  characteristic  for  1952  that  Mukyokai  people 
no  longer  criticized  as  bitterly  the  so-called  churches. 
It  may  be  that  they  are  too  busy  in  fresh  evangelization 
of  the  seventy  million  Japanese  to  whom  the  Gospel  is 
unknown  to  deal  with  200  or  300  thousand  ready-made 
"  Christians."  But,  if  Mukyokai  has  caused  a  new  counter- 
reformation  among  the  churches  and  hence  made  criticism 
unnecessary,  its  aim  of  reformation  might  be  considered 
as  fulfilled.  In  other  words,  Mukyokai  is  not  anti- 
ecclesiastical,  but  it  is  working  for  the  Kingdom  of  God 
where  neither  protestantism  nor  Mukyokai  (non-church) 
exist,  but  where  all  are  one  through  Jesus  Christ  and  there 
is  one  real  Church  which  is  His  body.

CHAPTER  III 
THE  MISSIONARY  FELLOWSHIP 

THE  EVANGELICAL  MISSIONS 
ASSOCIATION  OF  JAPAN 

by  Francis  B.  Sorley 

This  organization  came  into  existence  in  the  summer 
of  1947  when  a  number  of  evangelical  mission  groups 
and  individuals  were  gathered  together.  Many  of  them 
had  just  recently  started  missionary  work  in  Japan  and 
felt  the  need  for  fellowship  and  consultation  with  other 
missionaries  of  kindred  faith  and  purpose.  There  has 
been  fellowship  and  a  unity  of  spirit  and  purpose  with 
the  National  Association  of  Evangelicals  and  the  Evan 
gelicals  Foreign  Missions  Association  in  America,  but 
there  is  no  organic  connection  with  either  of  the  above 
or  with  any  other  missionary  organization  at  the  present 
time,  nor  is  any  contemplated. 

The  EMAJ  was  established  as  a  cooperative  fellow 
ship  devoted  to  the  propagation  of  the  Christian  faith 
and  providing  means  for  united  action  and  cooperation 
in  such  activities  as :  promotion  of  Christian  fellow 
ship,  development  of  field  comity,  provision  of  field 
information  and  representation  before  the  government 
when  necessary.  It  is  neither  the  purpose  nor  the  inten-

tion  of  the  Association  to  interfere  with  the  program  of 
associated  mission  groups  nor  to  dictate  to  them  regard 
ing  any  matter  whatsoever. 

Membership  in  the  Association  is  open  to  individual 
missionaries  as  well  as  to  mission  groups  who  subscribe 
to  the  statement  of  faith  which  has  been  adopted  as 
expressing  the  conservative  theological  position  of  the 
evangelical  Christian  bodies  it  represents.  In  his  final 
report  to  the  Association,  Dr.  Bishop  stated  that  417 
missionaries  belonging  to  53  evangelical  mission  boards 
and  from  several  different  countries  have  at  one  time  or 
another  been  members  of  the  Evangelical  Missions 
Association  of  Japan.  Many  who  have  gone  to  rural 
areas  in  Japan  are  no  longer  able  to  enjoy  active  fellow 
ship  in  the  regular  meetings.  Other  co-workers  in  Japan 
are  welcome  to  join  for  fellowship  and  mutually  profit 
able  activities. 


FELLOWSHIP  OF  CHRISTIAN 
MISSIONARIES  IN  JAPAN 

by  Sigurd  Aske 

Historically  the  FOV;  dates  back  to  1902  when  the 
Standing  Committee  of  Cooperating  Missions  was  organ 
ized.  Twenty  delegates  met  at  the  first  meeting  at  which 
time  five  standing  committees  were  appointed.  By  1911 
the  number  of  delegates  had  doubled,  as  had  the  number 
of  committees. 

That  year  the  Standing  Committee  on  Cooperation 
became  the  Conference  of  Federated  Missions,  or,  as  the 
body  later  came  to  be  known,  The  Federation  of  Christian 
Missions  in  Japan. 

The  peak  of  activity  was  reached  around  1918  when 
some  eighty  regular  delegates  attended  the  annual  con 
ference.  No  less  than  seventeen  standing  committees 
were  appointed  to  cope  with  the  increasing  load  of  work. 

When  the  National  Christian  Council  came  into  being 
in  1923  as  the  organ  of  cooperation  for  all  missions  and 
churches  in  Japan,  the  future  purpose  of  the  Federation 
was  defined  as  being  "  for  fellowship,  education  and  in 
spiration."  Relieved  of  the  burden  of  many  routine  duties 
the  Federation  now  was  able  to  accomplish  more  in  the 
way  of  spiritual  inspiration  and  challenge.  However,  the 
fact  that  the  body  continued  to  operate  with  much  of 
the  old  machinery,  its  membership  still  consisting  of  duly 

326 


FELLOWSHIP  OF  CHRISTIAN  MISSIONARIES          327 

appointed  delegates  from  member  missions,  led  to  some 
confusion  both  among  members  of  the  Federation  and 
among  the  Japanese  church  organizations. 

The  change  from  being  a  delegated  federation  of 
missions  to  a  voluntary  fellowship  of  missionaries  with 
individual  membership  took  place  in  1937,  when  the  first 
conference  was  held  under  the  present  name  of  Fellow 
ship  of  Christian  Missionaries  in  Japan.  The  new  name 
and  constitution  eliminated  every  semblance  of  duplica 
tion  or  interference  with  the  work  of  other  cooperative 
bodies.  At  the  same  time  greater  emphasis  was  given 
to  the  annual  conference,  which  from  now  on  became 
entirely  inspirational  in  character,  coupled  with  practical 
discussion  of  live  missionary  issues.  From  1941  until  the 
postwar  reorganization  meeting  in  Tokyo  in  the  summer 
of  1947,  the  Fellowship  went  into  partial  eclipse. 

As  the  name  would  indicate,  the  FCM  is  a  mission 
ary  fellowship,  a  loosely  organized  body  where  Protestant 
missionaries  from  all  over  Japan  meet  for  spiritual  in 
spiration  and  frank  discussion  of  contemporary  mission 
problems.  The  Fellowship  counts  among  its  several 
hundred  members  missionaries  from  almost  every  type 
of  mission.  Not  a  few  hold  dual  membership,  belonging 
both  to  the  FCM  and  to  the  EMAJ  (Evangelical  Missions 
Association  of  Japan). 

The  1952  Annual  Conference  was  held  in  Karuizawn 
in  the  latter  part  of  August.  "  Evangelism  and  the  Chang 
ing  Situation ''  was  the  theme  of  the  conference  which 


328  THE  MISSIONARY  FELLOWSHIP 

was  ably  planned  and  directed  by  the  Executive  Com 
mittee  consisting  of  the  following  persons :  Caroline  Peck- 
ham,  president ;  E.  Luther  Copeland,  vice-president ; 
Helene  H.  Harden,  secretary,  and  Thomas  W.  Grubbs, 
treasurer. 

Dr.  Floyd  Shacklock,  editor  of  the  Japan  Christian 
Quarterly  since  its  reappearance  in  1951,  returned  to 
duties  in  the  United  States  and  resigned  his  editorship. 
The  FCM  feels  deeply  grateful  to  Dr.  Shacklock  and  to 
Mr.  Dean  Leeper,  assistant  editor,  for  the  great  amount 
of  able  effort  put  into  the  editorship  of  the  Quarterly. 
To  Dr.  Willis  Browning,  editor,  and  Mr.  Everett  Kleinjans, 
assistant  editor,  appointed  at  the  1952  Annual  Conference, 
go  our  prayers  and  good  wishes. 

The  Annual  Conference  also  regretfully  accepted  the 
resignation  of  the  editors  of  the  Japan  Christian  Year 
book,  Messrs.  William  F.  Asbury  and  Laton  E.  Holmgren, 
since  their  duties  took  them  to  places  outside  Japan. 
Present  editors  are  Rev.  B.  L.  Hinchman  and  Rev.  R. 
W.  Wood. 

These  two  Fellowship-sponsored  publications  are  meet 
ing  a  very  definite  need  in  missionary  circles  in  this 
country.  They  also  provide  interested  groups  in  other 
lands,  such  as  mission  headquarters,  theological  seminaries 
and  such  institutions,  with  an  indispensable  source  of 
information  on  the  missionary  movement  in  Japan. 

Area  conferences  were  held  this  year  as  usual.  The 
Kansai  group  met  in  Kyoto  in  December,  1952,  under  the 


FELLOWSHIP  OF  CHRISTIAN  MISSIONARIES         329 

chairmanship  of  Dr.  David  C.  Stubbs  to  discuss  "  Chris 
tian  Literature  in  Japan."  Similar  conferences  were 
held  in  the  Kanto  and  Kyushu  areas. 


IN  MEMOKIAM 

Compiled  by  A.  J.  Stirewalt 

Of  the  twenty-four  persons  whose  names  are  reported, 
nineteen  were  called  from  earth  during  the  past  year. 
The  other  five  had  not  been  previously  reported. 

These  fellow-workers  served  their  age,  they  did  what 
they  could,  they  bore  testimony,  they  labored,  and  we 
have  entered  into  their  labors.  It  is  for  the  Lord  of  the 
Harvest  to  judge  their  works  and  to  say  "  well  done " 
to  those  who  have  done  well.  But  it  is  for  us  to  honor 
their  memory  and  to  thank  God  for  calling  them  and 
enabling  them  to  accomplish  things  which  have  become 
a  heritage  to  our  day  and  to  oar  efforts.  Perhaps  the 
greatest  honor  that  can  be  shown  anyone  after  his 
decease  is  to  accomplish  the  hopes  which  he  cherished 
but  was  unable  to  attain.  Devoted  faithfulness  on  our 
part  to  our  Lord  both  glorifies  our  Lord  and  honors  our 
predecessors  who  expended  their  lives  in  behalf  of  that 
for  which  we  have  offered  ours. 

Peace  be  to  their  ashes — honor  to  their  memory — and 
unto  themselves  eternal  joy  in  the  presence  of  Him  who 
was  slain  for  their  salvation ;  and  praise  to  God  for  their 
lives  and  for  what  they  accomplished  in  His  name.

returned  to  America  on  the  exchange  ship  in  1943,  came 
back  in  1946,  and  resumed  her  work.  She  underwent  a 
serious  operation  in  1950  which  was  apparently  successful, 
but  when  on  furlough  her  illness  suddenly  reappeared 
and  she  died  in  Kansas  City,  Mo.,  June  12,  1952.  The 
spontaneous  expressions  of  affection  and  gratitude  on  the 
part  of  her  students  and  associates  indicate  the  high 
esteem  with  which  they  regarded  her  Christian  character 
and  unselfish  service. 

MRS.  FREDERICK  PARROTT,  M.  D. 

Mrs.  Frederick  Parrott,  Episcopal  Church,  whose 
husband  was  secretary  of  the  British  and  Foreign  Bible 
Society  in  Kobe,  left  Japan  in  1930  after  having  given 
more  than  thirty  years  in  behalf  of  the  establishment  of 


340  THE  MISSIONARY  FELLOWSHIP 

the  Lord's  Kingdom  in  this  country.  She  resided  in  Kobe 
with  her  husband  and  did  medical  work  among  the  poor, 
and  also  closely  identified  herself  with  the  outstanding 
work  of  her  husband  in  the  circulation  of  the  Scriptures 
in  the  southern  half  of  Japan.  She  had  unusual  success 
in  leading  Bible  classes  and  many  prominent  men  in  the 
Kansai  area  were  her  students.  She  was  the  author  of 
many  vignettes  of  the  lives  of  her  Japanese  women 
friends.  Her  passing  was  in  England  in  Dec.,  1951.

ing  School  for  Christian  Workers  in  Toronto  and  in 
August,  1905,  was  appointed  by  her  board  to  come 
to  Japan.  Her  first  term  was  in  Kanazawa  and  Shi- 
zuoka.  Subsequent  terms  were  spent  in  Shizuoka  and 
Toyama,  but  mostly  in  Tokyo.  Her  entire  service  was 
given  to  evangelistic  work  which  in  Tokyo  was  mostly 
among  students  and  graduates  of  Toyo  Eiwa  Jo  Gakko 
(girls'  school).  She  left  Japan  well  before  the  outbreak 
of  World  War  II  and  spent  the  years  of  retirement  in 
her  old  home  in  Newfoundland  where  she  passed  away 
December  14,  1950,  at  the  age  of  seventy -seven.

Japan  Aug.  31,  1950,  and  left  July  9,  1951.  Mrs.  Vinson  was 
appointed  to  China  in  Dec.,  1941,  being  already  on  the 
field  as  a  missionary  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the 
U.S.  Later  she  married  Rev.  John  Vinson,  Jr.,  of  the  mis 
sion  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  South  and  together  they 
went  to  the  Philippines  for  language  study.  After  intern 
ment  and  a  subsequent  rest  at  home  she  returned  with

other?  By  Clipper  it  costs  very  little  more  than  to  go  and 
return,  the  same  way. 

For  instance:  Westward  to  Europe,  you  fly  via  Calcutta, 
Istanbul,  Rome,  Paris,  London.  You  return  via  New  York, 
San  Francisco  or  Los  Angeles,  and  Hawaii.  Or,  you  can  fly 
eastward  to  California,  New  York  and  on  around  the  world 
by  way  of  London,  Calcutta  and  Hong  Kong  to  Tokyo.
