Missionary Society weighs Japan push amid finance rise
The committee urges a bold start for Japan with three ordained missionaries and a medical, arguing church funds rose from 171,000 to over 325,000 since 1858. They cite China and India gains, hospital work at Chefoo, and praise a Jamaican mission loss, while noting retrenchments and calls for more laborers in India, China, and other fields.
