How Ambassador Wright Sizes Up
Missionaries.
Count Okuma's words have caused a
depression from the first point of this
article. Before returning to it, and
while still on the subject of mission
aries, let me quote the opinion ex-
pressed to me by the American am
bassador to Japan, Hon. Luke E.
Wright: When came to the orient

Both in the Philippines and in Japan

dividual missionaries. He left upon
my mind the impression that he un
equivocalIy approves of the mission

Csed by the government. first, De-
cause 1t was needor and secondly,
because Japan wanted to appear in
a pro-Christian light. Undoubtedly
there has been a measure of this
same sort of statecraft in the govern
ment's recent gifts to the Young
Mems Christian association army work.
In the government offices of Toxic
i came upon the program with re-
spect to religion, and how 1t has been
changed. My authority is SO high
that it cannot be- .uestioned. The in
tention of the lien who shape the
nations policy (and this is paternal,
not a popular, form of government
was that the Crown Prince Of Japan
should become baptized Christian,
so that the next emperor should be
counted among the Christian rulers of
the earth. The personal convictions
of the crown prince did not figure in
the matter. at all; the rulers look
upon Christianity without any regard
to the beliefs of individuals, which is
a serious oversight as shall show.
Even yet it is possible that the pro-
gram may be overturned by the sin.
cero conversion of the crown prince
to Christianity, an event. however,
which is quite improbable.
For the second part of the gov
ernment program reverses the first.
The plan has been changed 1t has
now been decided that it is unneces-
sary for Japan to become Christian
nauon. The next emperor will not be
a Christian. independence and tolcr-
alton in religious matters will con-
tinue to be the national policy. but
the same official whose views | have
bee:- expressing declares it to be his
belief that Japan will never become
a Christian nation, although there will
remain, alongside of Buddhism and
Shintoism, Japanese Christian
church.
An Elder Statesran's Keen Views.
On the same point let me quote
Count Okuma, one of the elder states
men and the most Influential individ.
ual in Japan. had long interview
with him in his beautiful home, upon
many phases of the Japanese problem,
including this one. Japan has the
most perfect religious liberty in the
world. So great is the spirit Of toler-
alton here that conference on mu-
tual relations was recently held in
Toxic by the Christians, Buddhists
and Shintoists. But this very confer
ence showed lack of zeal on the
part of each for its own faith. This
same lack Of ancient zest, and ten
dency to surrender beliefs, is also
noticeable. understand, in America.
AS to Christianity in Japan. I would
say that it has spread as moral
philosophy, rather than as religion.
It may continue to grow, and be
widely accepted. but it will never be-
come a national religion. Had Christ
Ianity been our ancient faith. the
\ situation would have been different.
Moreover Christianity would have
been greater in Japan were it not for
Ehe denominational divisions and
strife, which have hindered Christian
z growth here. am glad to notice
a decrease Of this, both in Japan and
Z America. Mission boards should take
into account the Importance Of this
matter.
