into effect in Japan requires that before
beginning religious work propagators
of faith must so before governor
with full details. They must fully ex-
plain the scheme of faith, and il at any
time any change occurs in any OF the
tenets the preacher in charge must go

lot of the local japanese governors is
likely to be an unhappy one when the
missionaries representing the various
denominations of the Christian church
ask them to grasp the mysteries of all
the differing creeds.
