HOW CATHOLICISM IN JAPAN OUT.
LASTED PERSECUTION--
STIRRING. STORY OF THE
GREAT DISCOVERY.
BY Rev. Michael Mathis, c. S. c.

Aboard the Korea Maru, Nov. s.
Although the island empire of Japan
is far in our wake as we speed across
the Pacific to the Philippine Islands,
vet it's spell is still upon us and /
shall devote my next few letters to
additional observations on our expert
ences there. Father Delaney and /
are taking this last part of his journey
to Bengal alone. AT Kyoto we parted
with Monsignor McGlinchey, who stop
ped off at this ancient center of pa
gan Japan for more intensive study
of the empire and a tour of Korea.
Nagasaki, from which ! addressed
my last letter, was our final stopping
place in Japan From the Catholic
point of view it is the most interesting
city in the empire 1t is the center
of Catholic life and history. In the
diocese of Nagasaki reside about CO.,
900 Of the $4,000 Japanese Catholics.
On our arrival in Nagasah we wit
messed extensive preparations for the
most popular civic celebration Of the
city, the anniversary of the destruc-
tion of Christianity, which takes place
for three days in October. A granite
monument commemorating the event
still stands Id front of pagan temple
only fifty yards from Bishop Combas'
Cathedral, a silent witness to the
fiercest persecution that was ever
waged against Christianity.
unavailinu Persecution.
Three hundred years ago Nagasaki
had 26 churches or chapels, a large
Jesuit college, and an extensive Dom
inican convent During the various
prosecutions, many thousand Catholics
have either won the martyrs palm at
Nagasaki or were depOrted as exiles
to the uttermo5t parts OF Japan. The
city was 'repopulated again and again
by the fiercest enemies Of the Catho-
lie name Yet in spite Of these perse-
cntions, the Catholic faith survived
without priest ard without altar for
two hundred years. IL was at Nag.
asaki too that the Japanese Chris,
tians were discovered in 1865.
An Americar, Commodore Perry
opened up Japan to Christian infiu-
ence in 1854. Missionaries from the
Paris Foreign Mission Seminary built
church for French Catholic at Nag
asaki in 1864. The following year on
st. Patriek's day. a group of twelve
japanese men, women and children
were found gazing reverently upon the
statue Of the Blessed Virgin in front
Eof the French church. Bishop Petit

sanctuary, where he prayed before the

Three Native Tests.
Thus the Japanese Christians were
discovered and it is a noteworthy
fact that the three tests of Catholicity
current among them were the follow
ing: devotion to the Blessed Virgin,
the Primacy Of the Holy See and the
priests celibacy. Today Nagasaki has
three large parishes, a college for
boys, convent school for girls, and
three important institutions for the
education of native priests, sisters,
brothers and Catechists Practically
all the Japanese priests come from
Nagasaki and its suburb UrakaIni and
have passed through these institu-
tions. OF the 1893 boys who have reg.
istered at the native seminary since
its origin, So have been ordained TO
the priesthood. There is q novitiate
for native sisters at the convent which
is conducted by the Sisters of the
Holy Child Jesus The novitiate for
native brothers and catechists Is nm
der the direction Of the Brothers of
Mary.

Because of the controlling influence of
Japan over Asia's pagan millions, too
many missionaries and too much mis-
sion help cannot be rushed to the de-
cisive battle with paganism in that
country. The character Of mission
work In Japan is unique In spite of
civil religious liberty, there is no
pagan land in which the whole atmos-
phere of the country is so impregnated
with the tradition of persecution. In
Nagasaki. for example, as / described
In my last letter, the most popular or
the civic festivals is the anniversary
of the so-called destruction of the
Christians. The Christians there are
practically all the descendants OF
martyrs and confessors. In fact there
are many still living who actually suf-
fered for the faith in the last perse-
cution Of 1S70-72.
Marco PoIo's Influence.
The first European to mention Japan
was Marco Polo, the great Catholic
traveller, who, with his father and
brother penetrated the court of the
lemperor Kublai Khan, the great Mon
gol ruler, who gave them letters to
1.-THE Pope requesting Christian mis-
sionarfes for China Marco Polo be-
came the governor of YangChow in
China, on which twenty-seven cities
we're dependent and remained with
Kublai Khan for twenty-five years. He
lmentions Japan in his epoch-making
lbook, which opened new world to
Europe and was one of the volumes
that inspired Columbus to set forth
on his voyage of discovery.
The first known Europeans to visit
Japan were the Portuguese In 154S.
The first to preach the Gospel there
Twas st. Francis Xavier in 1549. In
1.-TWO and a half years he made almost
l3,O00 converts and organized the
tJesuit Mission. In 1882 the Japanese
lCatholics sent an Embassy to the
Pope. In 1896, the Dominican. Angus
