There was a large attendance at st. James
hurch last Sunday evening to listen to the
ecture of Bishop Osouf, missionary Of
North Japan. The Bishop gave history of
he attempts that had heen made to Chris
ianize the natives of Japan. His recital
lated from the first attempt many centuries
go, to introduce Christianity into Japan, and
lie described the prosecutions which followed,
esulting in the death or captivity of 2,000,-
100 converts, which stamped out Christianity
rom that country for over two centuries. A
oothold was then obtained, but persecution
ollowed again and was continued for forty
ears, missionaries attempting to land being
tut to death. A number of priests landed
n an island near by and for fifteen years
ided an opportunity to land. They then
made the wonderful discovery that the ex-
irpation of Christianity had not been accom-
lished by the authorities, as the germs
which had been sown had taken root and
lossomed from generation to generation.
he speaker concluded with brief refer
nee to modern missionary work in Japan,
