Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Japan Mission of the Reformed Church in the United States: 1879-1904 On June 1, 1879, the first missionaries of the Reformed Church to Japan - Rev. A. D. Gring and wife - arrived at Yokohama. Accordingly the Japan Mission this year (1904) attains its twenty-fifth anniversary. Certainly this quarter-centennial ought to he celebrated in a becoming manner. It has been decided to issue in connection with this celebration an illustrated pamphlet giving an account of the Mission´s work and its needs. The following pages have been prepared in the execution of that purpose. We bespeak for this, our story, careful and sympathetic attention. May this little book demonstrate to the supporters of foreign missions that their prayers and offerings have not been in vain! God bless our twenty-fifth anniversary to the glory of His Name and the further extension of His Son´s Kingdom in Japan! A few words in the following pages call for definition. All our men and the unmarried lady missionaries are organized into what is called the "Mission" - in the following articles printed with a capital initial letter. By "preaching-place" is meant a small body of Christians not yet organized into a "church." The word "evangelist" means a native preacher, whether clerical or lay; it corresponds to "pastor," and is different from "evangelist" as now used in America, "Evangelistic work." is church work, in contradistinction to educational work. In Japan the monetary unit is the yen, worth now about fifty cents of American money. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
