send Harris, the United States consul,
had been instructed by the secretary oi
Mate, Mr. Marcy, "to do his beat by all
judicious measure* ami kind influence
to obtain full toleration of the Christian
religion, and protection of all mission¬
aries Who should go there to propa¬
gate it”
Mr. Harris won in full sympathy with
there instructions, and succeeded in con¬
vincing the Japanese negotiators that
the Jesuit system, which interfered with
state affairs, as formerly practiced, was
not the Chrlstianity' he represented. Suc¬
cess having crowned his efforts, on the
first Sabbath of August. 1858, he invited
the naval officers and resident foreigners
to assemble for worship at the consular
residence, formerly an idol temple, which
waa the first Protestant service publicly
held ou shore, to Japan, for more titan
two ceilturiae. It was an appropriate
expression of gratitude to God for further
opening the way for Christian missions.
A fitter man than Dr. Hepburn for the
peculiar service required in this new
field could not have been found. Conse¬
crated to the mission cause in early
manhood, with six years’ experience
among Chinese, skillful aud successful
to professional practice, with a quiet
manner and unfaltering faith, and with
a companion field of like spirit, he entered
upon this as the sower of the first
handful of Gospel seed, and remains
there still to aid in gathering ite wonder-
fill harvest. Very! ■■little cool to done mis¬
for a time in the way of direct ect
sionary work. Months and years were
required to From win his first way iuto watch public con-
fldence. the a was set
upon his every movement. Of his two
men servants, one, the most useful, waa
known by him to to a government spy,
and everything done to his house was re¬
ported. But there was no effort at con¬
cealment, and this openness and frank¬
ness were his safeguard.
THE FIRST SERMON.
On one occasion, after his rented tem¬
ple had toon cleansed of Ite idols, and
rooms fitted for occupancy, while un¬
packing and arrangta# his goods he re
ceived a visit from the official, whs
made a demand for his Chinese books,
which ho refused to deliver up, and
would have appealed to the United State*
consul, but the demand was not pressed.
While making their inspection, a picture
of the crucifixion was found, whioh
some friend in New York had sent Mrs.
Hepburn. This discovery was thought
at first a mishap, but Instead of confiscat¬
ing the contraband picture, to the sur¬
prise of ite owners, the men were curious
to know the significance of tho two
thieves, wlio they were, etc., which tod
to an explanation of the whole transac¬
tion why Jesus was crucified, what
brought him into the world, and why
Christians worshiped him. This was
the first Christian sermon ever preached
by an American missionary to a Japan¬
ese audience. And what 1ms tho Gospel
wrought since then 1—Christian at Weak.
