JapOP1-63:1 Children at play in front of a Shinto Shrine. The yard almost
always to be found in front of the Shrine and Buddhist Temple furnishes the
children of Japan their best palyground, which makes it the most natural
thing in the world for the child to step into the temple, or the Sabbath
School, conducted by the priests on Sundays. We Christians can give the
Japanese churches funds, in order that they can success fully complete with
the temples. Kindergartens, playgrounds, and gymnasiums must not be
neglected in order to win the youth of the Far East.
