Excerpt from An American Missionary in Japan In conclusion, it is a pleasant duty to offer my thanks to the officers of the Ameri can Board and other missionary societies, including the American Bible Society, for various courtesies received; and also to several of my colleagues whose letters in the Missionary Herald and to me per sonally have given valuable information which I could not always burden the text by acknowledging. Special thanks are due also to the Rev. G. F. Verbeck, D. D., whose paper read before the Osaka Con ference on the History of Protestant Mis sions in J apan has been repeatedly re ferred to and in a few instances quoted.
