Jinrikisha Days in Japan

BY

ELIZA RUHAMAH SCIDMORE


Waga kuni no Yamato shima no ni idzuru hi wa;
Morokoshi hito mo, awoga zarameya.”

In the ancient Yamato inland, my native land, the sun rises;
Must not even the Western foreigner reverence?”

Ancient Japanese Poem.


“I cannot cease from praising these Japanese. They are truly the delight of my heart.”

St. Francis Xavier.
