The indigenous religions of Japan are Shintoism and Buddhism. The religion founded by Buddha, which is older by six centuries than that founded by Christ is professed by nearly one-third of the human race, and has a literature perhaps larger than all other religious literatures combined. Christians must surely be interested in knowing of the faith they are endeavoring to displace, and when it is considered that Buddhist temples are already erected upon American soil, that a new development of this ancient faith may yet set itself up as a rival of Christianity, the subject will be seen to possess an immediate interest.
