Product Information

Excerpt from Report of a Visit to Japan, China and the Philippine Islands: With Recommendations on Aims and Policies To the Bishops and Board of Directors of the Foreign Missionary Society of the United Brethren in Christ: Dear Co-workers: In obedience to your instructions to visit our missions in Japan, South China, and the Philippine Islands. I left Dayton Ohio, October 9, 1911, and on October 17, Bishop William M. Bell, D.D., and the writer departed from San Francisco on the steamship Manchuria for Hongkong, China. On arriving at Holulu, the reports in the daily papers indicated that the revolution in China had gained alarming proportions, and it then seemed doubtful if a satisfactory visit could be made this year in China. Because of this and for personal reasons, one of which was the severe illness of his father, which a few months later resulted in his death, Bishop Bell felt it to be the will of God that he should return to America. It is needless to say that Bishop Bell's return from Holulu was to me a very heavy personal loss, and a great disappointment to all the missions. When a thousand miles from Japan, I sent Dr. Howard a wireless message to investigate conditions at Canton, China. Two days later when three hundred miles out from Yokohama, I received the following reply: Canton postponed. Welcome Japan. All South China at that time was in the crisis of the revolution, and one could predict what a day would bring forth. Accordingly Japan was the first field visited. Our ship landed at Yokohama, November 3, and a royal welcome was extended by both missionaries and Japanese workers. For one month and three days we visited our various mission stations, counseled with our missionary staff and our Japanese pastors and laymen, and conferred with those in authority in other communions concerning their work, and thus sought to get a complete view of the work already done and of what remains to be done to make Christianity a dominant force in Japan.
