Mr. Robert E. Speer says:
When I was in the city of Tokyo, I went to the house of a
missionary to meet half a dozen of the leading native Christian
men of Japan. They were thoughtful, well-read, thoroughly
educated, keen students. There was scarcely a school of
Christian thought with which they were not familiar. I asked
them what it was in Christianity that had most appealed to them.
I supposed, of course, they would answer that they were glad of
their faith because it had thrown light on the dark, perplexing
problems of life which Buddhism and Shintoism were unable to
solve. Instead, every one said that what they valued most in
Christianity was the moral rest that they had found there. The
intellectual satisfaction was little compared with the sweet
voice that was now sounding in their hearts, “Come unto me all
ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
