  • PIERSON MEMORIAL HOUSE Kitami City, Hokkaido, Japan Missionaries
    リーフレット編集／Ｎ P Ｏ法人ピアソン会 http://www.npo-pierson.org/ PIERSON MEMORIAL HOUSE Kitami City, Hokkaido, Japan Long, long ago, Charmed by a view of the setting sun, A couple from a distant land Made this place their home. Missionaries George and Ida Pierson and Kitami On a crest surmounted with ancient oaks and towering elms they stood amid the delicate fragrance of bellflowers as the setting sun tinted the peaceful sky over Notsukeushi. The impressively tall missionary, already more than fifty years of age, and his wife had been strolling along this ridge, considering whether to establish their mis- sion headquarters in Engaru or in Notsukeushi (now Kitami). Looking up, they saw the giant burning disc of the sun slowly declining towards the mountains to the west. Charmed by the beauty of the scene, their uncertainties were resolved and they de- cided there and then to come and live at this place. In early autumn, a house in the Swiss chalet style favoured by Mrs Pierson was completed on this spot, reminiscent of the natural beauty of their hometown Elizabeth, New Jersey. To the local people, this western-style building was very unusual and it received a constant stream of visitors, drawn by their admiration for the character and dedi- cation of the two missionaries. George Pierson first arrived in Japan in 1888 and subsequently spent forty years here, thirty-four of them in Hokkaido. He, later with his wife, followed their calling to Otaru, then Sapporo, Asahikawa and Kitami. From the south to the north, from - １ - cities to rural areas, they kept the light of their dream alive, fortified by their pio- neering spirit of courage and endurance.
