Excerpt from The Christian Movement in the Japanese Empire
The present volume differs from its predecessors in several respects. The chief of these is in the treatment of missionary work in Japan. The customary section on Missions and Churches has been replaced by a very thorough survey of the whole question, done largely in the form of a questionnaire by Dr. McKenzie. The editors have felt that a careful study of this article would give a better view of the movement of Christian work in Japan than if a report of each agency were given individually.
The Korea section is more complete and systematic than ever before, and its appendices, made to correspond with those of Japan, will be found valuable.
The gratitude of the editors is due the many who have had a share in the production of this book. As the official annual publication of the Conference of Federated Missions of Japan and the Federal Council of Korea, its preparation has laid claim upon the time and talent of many busy men and women, whose services have been ungrudingly given.
If the saying is true that as the nineteenth century made the world a neighborhood the twentieth century is to make the world a brotherhood, this newest record of the movement of Christian forces in the Island and Peninsular Empire, pregnant as that movement is with greater things to come, cannot but mightily concern every member of the great brotherhood whose center is Christ.
