[Obituary]

Rev. Charles E. Garst

 

Under the appointment of the Foreign Christian Missionary Society he came to Japan in 1883, and died in Tokyo, Japan, on the 28th of December 1898. His death was caused by empyema. His translation to the other life was one of triumph and peace. He was the pioneer of the Disciples Mission to Japan.

 

Mr. Garst was a student. He mastered the Japanese language as few men do. He was able to read the current native literature and was thus well acquainted with Japanese thought. He was thoroughly conversant with Japanese history.

 

Mr. Garst was a faithful evangelist. His waking and sleeping thoughts were of righteousness. He preached the gospel in every town and village north of Sendai. He believed in the ultimate triumph of the gospel over all nations. “We unfurl the banner of the cross for victory not for defeat.”

 

Mr. Garst loved the Japanese people. His commission was to save the people and he put his whole soul and life into his work.

 

He was loved by the people and had influence with the leaders of thought and with the statesmen of the Empire. He was a friend of every phase of modem reform. He died among the people whom he loved and for whom labored.

R. L. P.
