Excerpt from The Christian Movement in Japan and Formosa: A Year Book of Christian WorkThe editors send forth the twenty-sixth annual volume of the Japan Mission Year Book with the sincere hope that it may not be entirely unworthy to rank with its noble predecessors. The new title appears for the first time on the cover Of the book. The editors have tried to keep in mind the thought of a Year Book. That they have not always succeeded will be evident to any one even upon a cursory reading of the book. Instead of a general survey written by the editor in-chief, the first section of the book this year is composed of a number of articles written by prom inent Japanese. It is to be regretted that the survey of Buddhism which was to have been written by Dr. K. Watanabe was not forthcoming in time to be published in this volume. Perhaps the most unsatisfactory section of the book is the statistical record. The manner of tabulating statis tics differs so greatly in the various churches that it is exceedingly difficult to make this part of the book absolutely reliable. The missionary directory has been corrected up through May and is therefore as accurate as it can be made under the circumstances. Unstinted thanks are due to all who have gladly contributed of their time and energy towards the compilation of this volume.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
