Excerpt from Christianity and Humanity: A Course of Lectures Delivered in Meiji Kuaido, Tokio, Japan
To explain the genesis of this course of lectures exhaustively would be to give a description of the moral problem in Japan, a task far beyond the limits of a brief prefatory note.
In short, however, the fact is patent to every observer, that old beliefs in Japan have no moral power over the educated classes of the Japanese, and are gradually losing their influence with the masses. What shall replace these old beliefs as a moral regulative force is becoming not merely an interesting social problem, but a national question which must be faced without delay to avert a moral catastrophe, which the clear headed among Japanese statesmen see all too clearly in the near future. The sleepy, dreamy past is dead. Japan pulsates with new and throbbing intellectual and political life. Forces are awakened which are rapidly transforming the nation. Along with the fossils of the past are vanishing not only religions out worn, but moral sanctions, before an efficient substitute has been accepted.
