early Jesuit missionaries made the most head
way when they had declared that ancestor
worship was not to be considered a religion,
and that therefore there necessity for
converts to relinquiSh this. the most priced Of
their beliefs The coming of Western civiliZa-
ton only brought convenienceS for the gathering
together of the members of family: il did not
reduce the occasion of such gatherings. To
quote Mr.. HoZumi:

of Japanese family inviting their relatives
through the medium of telephone take part in
a ceremony of this nature; while equally incon-
EruouS would seem the spectacle of the members
of the family. some of them attired in European
and others in native costume. assembled in a room
lighted by electricity. making offerings and obei-
SanceS before the memorial tablet of their an
