TOKIO, Dec. 29.—Japanese Christ
sans of the various protestant bodies
celebrated the 400th anniversary o
the day on which Martin Luther nail
ed his theses to the church door ix
■Wittemburg by protesting against th<
government's policy of compelling par
ticipation in Shinto rites. The day be
ing also the emporer's official birth
day gave a natural opportunity to ex
press first of all the patriotic anc
faithful devotion of the Christian body
to the Imperial house. A declaration
read by the Rev. Danji Ebana, who
represents the extreme radical wing
of the Congregationalists, contained
one article reading:
“Freedom of religious belief Is
guaranteed to us by the constitution
of our Empire. We should exert our
I
selves in order to bring about a per
fect realization of our rights under
^ this provision. Consequently, the per-'
formances and events connected re
1 i
cently with shrines, the relation be-^
j tween those shrines and the national,
education, the many practices carried
on in towns and villages, all of which
* are more or less coercive in nature,
j must be viewed as infringements of
the freedom of religious belief. We
I believe it to be the duty of the pub
l lie-spirited men of our Empire to cor
!
rect these evils and to seek to bring ^
about a more perfect realization ofi
right and justice.”
This action on the part of protes-j
taat efcristians in Japan has been pre-j
cipitated by the transference of the
government’s department of religions]
trom the home department to the de
partment of education. It has always
been a matter of debate as to whether
the Shinto cult is a religion or hot;
but many of its ceremonies have a dis.
tinctively religious character and as
such the enforcement of them in
schools and at patriotic ceremonies is
felt by Christians to be an infringe
ment of religious liberty.
