Excerpt from The Land of Sacred Story Knowing that in a certain sense we were traveling for the benefit Of others, we constantly kept before our mind the necessity Of thoroughness, and Often climbed through ruins on foot under a burning sun, which we would not have done, but for the necessity of seeing what we have described. In many instances we give the present native name Of places. We do this for the benefit Of Bible students. The native name is given in italic, and, in most instances, either pre ceded or followed by the translation. Should this narrative fall into the hands of those who still have honest doubts about the truthfulness Of the Bible, we can but hope the many allusions we make, and incidents related illustrating the fulfillment of its predictions, will be helpful to them. Many a man says ifi could only be assured, I would believe. We assure all such, that time and again we were overwhelmed with the reality Of the Sacred Record. With this brief introduction, we invite the reader to the narrative itself, hoping God will bless you in the reading as he has us in the writing.

Excerpt from Lands of Sacred Story: Sketches of Travel and Personal Experiences Which Appeared in the Christian Union During 1908-1909 It is a pleasure to introduce a man one loves, to speak upon a theme of sacred interest. The very introduction gives one a sort of fellowship with the message that is borne to the people, and he feels a selfish joy in the good that is done. Such is the feeling of the writer of these lines as he speaks to the public of James T. Nichols and the new book, The Lands of Sacred Story. Mr. Nichols as editor of the Christian Union, has proven himself a writer of rare power. God has given him the ability to say much in little space. His editorials have taken rank as among the very best things that have been said for our people's distinctive work and in the advocacy of the gen eral advance movement of the religious world. Many of us have felt that his writings should have a far wider field than that afforded by a State paper, even if the latter be of exceptional value and of large circulation. But when this man of God turns to the narrative of his own travels in the land made sacred by the ministry of Jesus, he is at his best. Of reverent faith and discerning judgment, he enters so sympathetically into the narrative that one feels the story of the land even as he sees the land declare it.

Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after righteous ness for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in Heaven For so persecuted they the prophets that were before you. - Matt. V.

Excerpt from Howrah The deep channel alternates from left to right and vice cersa according to the windings of the river, except where deflected by the large tributaries which debouch into it at the southern limit of this district. Proceeding from Howrah Bridge, the deep channel runs on the Calcutta side in the Calcutta Reach past the Fort and Kidderpore to Garden Reach. At Rajganj, Opposite Hangman Point, it crosses over to the Howrah Side, and follows the Sankrail Reach as far as Melancholy (menikhali) Point. It then zigzags from left to right at each bend.

In 1865 a French priest was visited by a small group of Japanese at his newly built church in Nagasaki. They were descendants of Japan's first Christians, the survivors of brutal religious persecution under the Tokugawa government. The Kakure Kirishitan, or "hidden Christians," had practiced their religion in secret for several hundred years. Sometime after their visit the priest received a copy of the Kakure bible, the Tenchi Hajimari no Koto, "Beginning of Heaven and Earth," an intriguing amalgam of Bible stories, Japanese fables, and Roman Catholic doctrine. Whelan offers a complete translation of this unique work accompanied by an illuminating commentary that provides the first theory of origin and evolution of the Tenchi. Today, the few Kakure Kirishitan communities still in existence view the Tenchi as strange and flawed, expressing a distorted form of Christianity. It is, however, the only text produced by the Kakure Kirishitan that depicts their highly syncretistic tradition and provides a colorful window through which to examine the dynamics of religious acculturation.
Maui in the early 2000's is in flux: the new millennium brings faith into crisis, cultural tensions bubble up to the surface, and the teens are left to their own devices. Short stories and vignettes unfold and meld into a look back at the chaos, hoping for answers to the past. Each narrator reveals another piece of the larger universe, contained within the questions: how did we get hurt, how do we hurt ourselves, and what will we do when forces beyond our control intervene?
