The situation led the mission of the Methodist Episcopal church to hold a special meeting here under the chalr- manship of Bishop Merriam C. Har- ris. At this meeting it was voted to draw up and send to the home church a detailed report of the exact condi- tions. A copy of the report, which was written by Dean Arthur D. Ber- Ty of the theological department of the Aoyama school at Tokio, has been handed to the correspondent of the Associated Press. It is most optim- istlc in tone and contends that con- trary to any idea of restricting the teaching of Christianity, the Japan- ese government contemplates the ex- tension of priviliges already granted. Among other things, the statement emphasizes the progress made on a project to found a Christian Univer- sity at Tokio—a project that is en- gaging the attention of all leading American and Japanese Christians. Erroneous Opinion. As indicating erroneous opinion in some quarters of the United States, the report cites an affirmation in a church paper that “the open door” for Protestant missionary endeavor in Japan is fast closing.’ In the first place, the reports points out that the new regulations affect schools in Korea only and nlot those of Japan proper. The essence of the regulations is that the private schools including the mission schools, are re- quired to conform in grade and cur- riculum with the government schools. The effect of this will be the same as the effect of old-time similar reg- ulations—that is, it will lift the mis- sion schools to a higher level and compel, them to stay there, says Dr. Berry.

The regulations do not apply to col- leges or theological schools, and re- ligious worship and instruction may be carried on outside regular school hours. The committee thinks that at the end of the two vears allowed for com- pliance with the new order of things, the schaols of Korea may come under the department of education at Tokio and there obtain the same freedom and privileges enjoyed by the private schools in Japan proper. It recom- mends that the Korean schools com- ply ‘“with all the other regulations and then walit in patience and pray that the evil day of prohibition of re- ligious instruction may not come.” Perfect Religious Freedom. The report emphasizes that there is perfect religious freedom in Chris- tian education work in Japan proper. This is acquired by accepting a spe- cial governmental classification which while signifying loss of certain school rights entails the loss of nothing that it fundamental. But even the dif- ference In classification, it is declared 'has come to be almost entirely nom- inal. “Our big prosperous Christian schools,” writes Dean Berry, “which are crowded with students and in which there is required chapel wor- ship and in which the Bible is a text book and which are openly and ag- gressively Christian in atmosphere and activity—these are the most con- clusive proof of the fact that there is religious freedom in educational work in Japan. And this perfect religious freedom is nat threatened from any quarter whatever. The attitude of the government of Japan toward re- ligion should be judged by the way it treats Christlan work itself and not by the exceptional attitude taken un- der exceptional circumstances by the Governor General in Karea. Considering New Regulation. “More than that,” the report con- tinues, ‘the department of education Christlan work by the Japanese gov- rnment.’ Government Not Responsible. ““The responsibility of any failure in our Christian work in Japan should not be laid at the door of the Japanese Government. The home church should join with us in & profound sense of obligation to the Japanese Government for the thou- sand ways in which it has willingly or unwillingly created such an op- portunity for untrammelled Christian work.” Save The Baby Use the reliable HORLICK'S ORIGINAL Malted Milk Upbuilds every part of the body efficiently, Endorsed by /thousands of Physicians, Mothers and Nurses the world over for more than a quarter of a century.
