The call of China and the Islands : report of the foreign deputation, 1911-1912, for every member of the United Brethren church . ty is the great need of the hour in Chris-tian education in Japan, and to bring this widely-cherished dream into reality, one strong, united,undaunted effort should by all means be made atthis point in the history of Christian work inJapan. While I was in Japan, definite steps were takenby the trustees of the Doshisha College to meetthis expressed need, by extending its courses soas to become a Christian university. The gov-ernment has already approved this action and theDoshisha now enters upon a career of marvelousopportunity. The alumni and friends of the in-stitution in Japan are rallying to its support. Our Church has been cooperating with thisschool for more than ten years, first by sendingRev. J. Edgar Knipp and later Rev. B. F. Shivelyto teach in it. The authorities have recentlyasked that Rev. B. F. Shively take the chair ofReligious Pedagogy in the Theological Depart-ment, and that our Church support a Japaneseprofessor also, who shall be a specialist in theOld Testament. 64.
