Japanese Translation of the Bible

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. A meeting to celebrate the completion of the translation of the Bible into Japanese, was held on the 3rd February in the Shin Sakai Church, Tsukiji, Tokyo. There was a large gathering of foreigners and Japanese, the church being filled. J. C. Hepburn, M.D., LL.D, occupied the chair. The meeting was opened by the Right Rev. Bishop Williams, reading the XIX. Psalm. The same Psalm was read in Japanese by Mr. Honda. After prayer had been offered by Rev. James Williams, C.M.S., a short address in Japanese was given by Rev. J. T. Ise (Congregationalist).
