Excerpt from The Faith of Japan

In response to the invitation of Hartford Theological Seminary, the following chapters, with the exception of the eighth, were delivered as "Lamson Lectures" in the autumn of 1910. The eighth chapter, containing the substance of the closing lecture, is taken by consent from the writer's article in the first number of the International Review of Missions. Prepared for oral presentation before a body of students, they still retain many characteristics of spoken rather than of written address.

Their governing purpose has been not so much a scholar's effort to make the elements of a people's faith clear to scholars as a Christian's endeavor to interpret the spirit of that faith unto fellow Christians of another race.
