45469 A Christian funeral in the rice fields of Kyushu. Note the bier and
its covering and the ripe rice. Words of Scripture are printed on the
banners attached to the tall poles. This was the first Christian funeral
in that section of the Island of Kyushu. A new interest has been awakened
in newspaper. Evangelism in Japan and instruction carried on by mail, the
group of inquirers usually joining to study the Gospel agree to call a
Christian minister in case of death. In this case the deceased was
studying Christianity by correspondence when visited by the "Hand of Death."
