Now Public Domain. "Near Tokyo is a famous shrine dedicated to the fox, called Anamora. Two young men in our dormitory and the writer visited this shrine in March, 1909. They were very much impressed by the idolatrous practices they saw there. What seemed to strike us all most was a well-dressed woman who was kneeling and bowing before a whole in the ground, supposed to be the home of teh fox. As we were returning home one of them said: 'There are many towns in Japan where they have never yet heard of Christ at all. When you go to America, please tell them about this, and ask many more missionaries to come.' - J. M. McCaleb." |
