Toxic, Japan.-"Before the war" Is
as much a stock phrase in Japan to-
day as it ever was in the United States
after the struggle of the sixties. The
war has made all things new. Now
Japan is ship that has found herself.
And what are mostly guesses on the
part of the rest of the world concern
ing Japan's purposes and future are
intensely interesting present problems
with persons on the scene. The situ-
alton here is complex and rather be-
wildering. but there are certain un-
questioned facts which stand out
clearly as a result of the war.
One of the wonders wrought by this
wonderful war takes rank as perhaps
the most conspicuous achievement OF
its kind in religious history. For the
conflict lately waged in Manchuria has
been the means of winning the whole
nation to friendliness for Christianity.
This amounts to nothing less than a
vast Christian conquest. It justifies
the sanguine reports which mission.
aries sometimes send home, without
any such ground as they may stand
upon in the present case. Represen.
tatives of many denominations, from all
parts of the empire, natives as well as
foreigners, have assured me that prac.
tically the last vestige of active oppo-
sition to Christianity has gone from
Japan, thanks to the work done in
