CHRISTIANITY IN JAPAN.
OBSTACLES THAT HINDER IT'S GENERAL ACCEPT
ANOE BY THE PEOPLE.

An entertaining letter in recent issue OF the
"Muenchencr Allgemeine zeitung" WHICH rivals the
Hamburger Nachrlchtenn in prasing Prince Bis
marck, gives interesting account OF the present
religious condition OF the land OF the chrysnnthemlin
"The religious conditions Of modern Japan says
the writer "at the first blush seem to be more
favorable to the spread OF Christianity than those OF
any other country The great tolerance Of the GOV
eminent authorities and their total indifference toward
imported religious theories facilitate the work OF the
missionaries. Another peculiar thing about the coun'
try is that even the public schools do not include re-
lgIous instruction in the curriculum but only seek
'by reasonable methods to inculcate a few popular
moral aXioms In the minds OF the youth ReIlgious
uses and ceremonies little connected with the
daily life OF the people that 1t IS not too much TO
say that the majority Of the japanese have religious
ceremonies only at the funerals Of their relatives ana
friends. Churches and congregations are unknown
There only temples with monasteries or hereditary
family religious institutions attached The priests are IN
general poorly educated neither are they respected
nor influential They represent, moreover so many
sects that it is impossible for them to work in
harmony. Thus the opposition with which tho
preachers OF Christianity here meet is comparatively
small so far as traditional religious practices or ex-
listing religious institutions are concerned.
"The real difficulties with which missionaries have
to contend in Japan lie In other directions. One
NJ the greatest obstacles to undoubtedly
the natural religious indifference of the japanese.
1t is true that the average Japanese readily acknowl
edges the worth of the Christian religion and the
superiority of the Christian teachers over their Japan
ese brethren He feels no necessity TO commune with
himself regarding the great problems Of life, however;
he is content he is.
"with those deep-thindng, highly educated men
and women who have studied and understood European
culture and see connection between Christianity and
so MANY moral institutions Of the West other obstacles
arise. They ask: What one of the many Christian
theories taught in the country is the correct one
In addition to the Roman Catholic and Greek Catholic
missions both powerful there are no fewer than
different Protestant Churches represented in Toxic
each possessing an individual japanese paper, and
engaged often in dogmatic disputes with another
The disadvantage of this state Of affairs is seen in
the fact that most of the educated japanese Christians
who live WELL Joined the church when studying in
Europe and America.
