Dearly beloved Brethren il
Christi

We hope that by the Grace
of God YOU are all enjoying
good health and able to be in
His service, we also through
His Blessing are preserved
body and spirit for the work OF
the Kingdom.
We wish to thank you most
sincerely for the efforts made
by you toward the bringing of
the Gospel to our countrymen,
by the sending of His chosen
servants the Rev. Whittier and
wife and Mas Johnson, and by
other many and different means
coming to our aid. After Rev.
Whittier came to Japan, in pre-
paration for missionary work,
he most assiduously studied
the language, even to the ex-
tent OF forgetting to eat and
sleep and the progress made
was exceedingly rapid, in a
short.time he was ableto speak,
and in a years time was able to
begin preaching, which is an
extraordinary rapid progress.
Although having to contend
with different customs and a
different climate and often bait
ling.with different kinds of i'll
ness, he has day by day taken
up the cross and has labored
with the utmost earnestness,
fire andIZeal for the spreading
of hesGospel, and in addition
to this:the assistance rendered
by his faithful and loving wife
in the forming of a cooking
classlfor the women and in diff
ferent fother ways has given
help.in the work.
Asa result there are "a per-
sons who cleansed in the blood
of Christ have been baptized,
and the present membership is
over 80; besides this there are
from 20 to 80 who are studying
about the way of salvation and
are ontinually under the in
fluence of the Gospel.
These results are first of all
by the Grace of God and your
fervent prayers and as instru-
ments in the hands OF God, by
the labors of Mr.. Whittier and
wife.
For this we wish to extend
our warmest gratitude.
In allsof Kyushu this is per-
haps the most difficult place to
do work. Work had begun by
others "a ors25 years ago but
the progress had been exceed
ingly slow. When Mr.. Win
ther came to Kurume it APP
peared:that all work had been
closed but after some time a
weak work Of the Episcopal
Church was found to be re-
naming. Therefore the people
of this place used to say: "Je-
sus has fled from the city.
These Iwere the conditions
when Mr.. Whittier came, but
after the work had been carried
on forssome time and progress
ed other churches also one by
one began work again.
ttheIpresent time the Dutch
Reformed, Methodist, Episcopal
and Baptists all carry on work
here, but can not be compared
with the Lutheran work here.
The year before last you kind
ly sent Miss Johnson, she also,
like Mr.. WHITTIER, night and
day has studied the language
and has done mission work
besides in the teaching of the
English Bible. From the
spring of last year she has been
teaching a Sunduy School class
in Japanese and has lately
opened up a Sunday School
in another place, which work
is in good progress. She has

nishing others an opportunity
to witness for Christ, this has
been done day by day in a
humble and Christ-like spirit.
We therefore have felt our
hearts greatly strengthened
and have had 10 cause for AK
iety. But as you see by the
above there is as yet not a
single Church building in ku-
rune, which seems to us a
regretable fact.
BY your kindly aid and by
the Grace of the heavenly Fa-
Their even kuruna, once at the
Gates of Death, is gradually
coming care the happy day
when it will be cleansed in the
blood of Christ and drawn
heaven-ward. On account of
this we are greatly rejoicing
and heartily thankful. But in
the future. we believe, the work
must be done with even more
vigor than il the past, it IS
easier to fall backward a step
than to go a step forward As
an example we may look at the
Dutch Reformed Church here.
They started 20 years ago and
were for a time very prosper
Gus, but having once stopped
work and again takeni il uq they
have never reached their form
err state of prosperity.
1t is not the case that the
people of Kurume are entirely
Indifferent to religion, which
fact is proved by the flourish
ing condition of Buddhism
here but they are anxious to
guard against decay the things
of former ages and their minds
are taken up by business and
the making of money, and they
are therefore slow to take an
interest in new ideas. But if
once an impression can be
made npon them, we believe,
the results will surely be great.
According to the old saying
strike while the iron is hot and
before it returns to its original
state" so we believe this is the
time thata blow forthekingdom
should be struck here, aud the
time when a strong force is
necessary. AT such an import
ant time we feel it a loss that
Mr.. Whittier has returned
home, but as Miss Johnson is
! left with us and as Mr.. Whittier
can have a rest, and matters
relating to the present and the
future methods of mission
work can be discussed we still
have cause to rejoice.
We beg that you will pray for
all of us, and that when Mr..
WHITTIER has accomplished the
object of his vacation we hope
| that you will speedily let him
return.
We beg of you to pray that
there may in this place soon
be raised a people pleasing &c
God; that your efforts may be
rewarded, and your object at
tanned.
May the Grace of God abund-
antly rest upon the Mother
Church, Amen.
