The Spirit of Japan #262472

The United Council for Missionary Educa tion has not hitherto published a book on Japan. But though a number of Societies represented in the Council have no mission aries in Japan, none of them is without a vital interest in the progress of Christianity there. Even apart from the intrinsic im portance of Japan as a nation, and of the place in the Catholic Church which only the Japanese Church can fill, her influence upon China, India, and the Pacific is a factor with which all Societies working in these fields have to reckon.
