First Missionary Convention In Japan
American Protestant Churches to Act
I'm nUnison-Harmony ofClerical Views
Translation of Religious Works Into
Japanese-MethOdist Episcopal Mis-
sions.
The first Missionary Convention that ever con-
vened In the far East assembled In Yokohama,
Japan, towards the close Of last September. 1t
was composed entirely OF American clergymen,
who met for the purpose of considering several
important subjects relative to the Chrstianizng
OF the natives OF that country. Matters have so
completely changed in Japan during the past two
or three years that high hopes are entertained of
making great progress IN the immediate future.
Persecution is no longer carried on against native
converts, and the missionaries are permitted to
print and circulate Bibles and other religious
works in the Empire. Less than three years ago
the Minister for Foreign Affairs announced that the
profession Of Christianity was prohibited under
penalty OF death, and in January, 1870, three
thousand native converts were deported by the
Governor OF Nagasaki, by orders from the supreme
government, to distant islands, to 9ive in forests
and work in mines" These people were not guilty
or any other or further offence than that of beco-
ing Christians. The women, whether married or
single, were sent to houses Of public resort, and
the children so distributed as to their being
strictly educated In the Sintoo faith. But hap.
PLY, all this is changed and the missionaries have
resolved to act in Cooperation under the liberal
and tolerant laws recently introduced into japan.

devoted Its attention to fixing upon some plan for
the translation OF the Scriptures into Japanese and
to further the production OF Christian literature
and to agree upon some name and form OF organiza-
tion OF native churches, SO as to avoid the embar-
rassment arising from those differences which mar
30 much the progress OF missionary work in Pagan
countries. The proceedings were unite harmoni.
Gus and resulted IN satisfactory manner.
