ance than the Protestant-there are 145,
with SS5 preaching stations in addition.
The membership is now $4,000, ministered
to by 2i3 missionaries, 119 of whom are
priests and 12A nuns. There are 80 Jap
anese priests and 800 native helpers.
While tho church has no difficulty with
the problem Of independence which vexes
the Protestant missions. this Is probably
due to the fact that 1t has given little
attention to the subject OF self-support.
The $1,000 Japanese Catholics contribute
only 1900 yen Sl,00O a year for the sup
port OF their churches, the funds coming
from Europe.
Where Catholics Are Ahead.
In publication and in education, the
Roman Catholic mission In Japan lags
far behind others. although it has three
boys schools with an enrolment of 500
pupils, and six girls schools, with 800
pupils. In direct evangeliZation, the
figures already given show the credible
work OF the fathers. But 1t is in work
of charity and philanthropy that the
Roman Catholics lead all other religious
bodies In Japan. All the Protestant mis-
sions here together have is orphanages
and homes. with 500 inmates. while the
Jesuits have 1,152 inmates In II institutions.
OF hospitals and dispensaries the Profess
tants have 13, and the Roman Catholics
the same number.
The former treated last year 600 In
PATIENTS: with no figures given for out
patients; tho Catholics treated 200 In
patients, and the enormous total of 49,
$50 out-patients. Prominent among the
charities of the latter must be mentioned
the leper hospitals at Gotemha and ku-
malnoto. In visiting the hospitals and the
sick, the missionaries are ttreless.
In a word 1 may sum up the present
situation with respect to Ramon Catholic
missions by saying. that while from pre-
