Years of Effort
It will not, in the opinion of those best qualified to judge, be the end of the Anglican commu- nion in Japan. Eighty years of devoted missionary effort have gone to the building of the Japa- ness Church, and the mission- aries have assiduously trained its Japanese members in responsi billty. The Church will suffer considerably, but there is always the hope that exclusively native leadership will arouse the pat riotism of its members and develop a healthy, all-Japanesej branch of the world-wide Angli- can communion.
Against this hope there must be set the risks of a sot-back due to official discouragement. Blat- ant voices are telling the Japa nese people that loyalty to race and nation is the supreme duty
