    A Review Article THE NEW RELIGIOUS SECTS OF JAPAN by Shuteu Oishi The New Religions of Japan by Harry Thomsen, Tokyo, Japan and Rutland, Vermont: Charles E. Tattle Co” 1963, pp. 269，US $5.00 C VI,100)* Introduction The Nezv ReHg ons of Japan by Harry Thomsen is an unusually attractive, splendidly illustrated, and very interesting presentation of a subject about wh.ch there is a great deal of interest but very little factual knowledge. The Charles E. Tuttle Co.. the publisher, is to be commended for its unusually fine format. Since this is only the second volume in English to deal with the total situation, the book is certain to be read widely, and it wii! give the general reader a reasonably satisfactory overall picture of these modern sects. It is extremely unfortunate， however, that it is not as accurate and thoroughly reliable as it should be Had the manuscript been submitted to any ciie of a number of competent scholars in the field before publica­ tion, some of the more serious errors at least could have been eliminated. And some of the inconsistencies would have been avoided had more care been taken to incorporate last minute additions in the body of the text as well as merely at the end of some chapters. For example, P L Kvodiin is credited with * This book is available in Japan in paperback for ¥540. 一 45 — THE NEW RELIGIOUS SECTS OF JAPAN 600,000 believers on page 183 and 700，000 on page 197 ; and Daisaku Ikeda is only one of the Soka Gakkai leaders on page 100，but he is the tmrcl president on page 107.

Today, singing together the Mikagura-uta with the many children who have returned for the Children’s Pilgrimage to Jiba, the July Monthly Service was per- formed spiritedly, with minds in unison and the Shinbashira as the core. The Shinbashira, in his service prayer, touched upon the Children’s Pilgrimage to Jiba, which will begin from today. He mentioned that many children from all over the world would participate in the numerous activities and he hoped that all the children would have an enjoyable summer in Oyasato. Looking over everyone with a big pa- rental heart, he prayed that everyone would grow spiritually and healthy, with cheerful open minds. In addition, the Shinbashira stated that head ministers and yoboku should join to- gether and create a model of the family unit that helps one another.

God the Parent, out of Your deep parental love for us human beings, Your children, You have been protecting us with Your boundless providence. Furthermore, You have been encouraging our spiritual growth, gradually through various timely trainings, thus guiding us toward the Joyous Life. For this we are truly grateful. With Oyasama’s Divine Model as the basis to correctly guide our minds, we have been striving daily for our work of the path. Today is the day we are granted to conduct the March Monthly Service at this mission headquarters. In the same manner as in previous months, we, thirty-some performers who have gathered here, with enough sincerity to represent all the other service performers and members of the congregation who cannot be here today, will now unite our hearts as one, by synchronizing with the recorded singing of the Mikagura-uta by the third Shinbashira and perform the Seated Service and the Dance with Hand Movements joyously in high spirits. We will earnestly pray for world salvation, especially for the ending of the current pandemic even a day sooner, and also for the recovery from the damages caused by the recent natural disasters, and the stopping of the rising anti-Asian violence.
