Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 158, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 July 1915 — Quaker Japanese Minister. [ARTICLE]

Quaker Japanese Minister.

A unique feature of the meeting of Quakers was the approbation given to the “recording” as a minister of the Gospel of Bunji Kida, a well-known Japanese mission worker in the Church. This action is analogous to "ordination” in other denominations. Bunji Kida to the first Japanese in America to be permitted to use “Rev.” before hto name in the Quaker church, and he to the only Quaker Japanese minister in America. He has been prominent in Friends, mission work among his own people under the auspices of California Friends for some years.— Exchange. ♦
