29 In the course of a letter appearing in _The Christian_ of April 20, 1893, the Rev. H. Loomis writes, “Let the _forty thousand_ Christians of Japan but dedicate themselves to the welfare of the country in all its relations, and the true new Japan will be founded.” But Mr. Loomis himself has placed the total membership of “Protestant Missions” at 35,500, of the Orthodox Church at 20,300, and of the Roman Church at 44,800. To which sixty thousand of these does Mr. Loomis—presumably—refuse the title of “Christian”? and are we justified in acting thus towards any who believe in the Holy Trinity, and have accepted Jesus Christ as the Saviour of the World, Very God and Very Man? 30 Even Mr. Loomis’ list does not appear to be exhaustive! The “Plymouth Brethren,” e.g., are certainly represented at Tokio. 31 The above is an abridgement of a passage in the _Conquests of the Cross_ (Messrs. Cassell & Co.). 32 In the course of the present year (1893), the Rev. J. McKim has been raised to the American Episcopate in Japan; Dr. Williams continuing to reside at Tokio. It is also announced that two new Anglican Bishops are to be consecrated for the Islands of Kyushu and Yezo respectively. One of these is the Rev. H. Evington, Examining Chaplain to Bishop Bickersteth, who has been connected with the C. M. S. Mission to Japan since 1874. _ 33 Pastoral Letter to his Clergy_, Advent, 1892. _ 34 Occasional Paper_, Guild of St. Paul, Oct. 1893.
