The ono who goes forth to this work Is a misguided enthusiast or fanatic, who might better remain at home to preach the Qospcl to his own people, In their eyes, tho chief work thnt ho does is to foment trouble nmong the natives and to stir up feelings of animosity among nations. True, there have been Instances where missions hnve unduly interfered with political affairs, and they hnve suf- fered for It.

In many of the port cities the Chlneso hnvo hnd before their very eyes shameful exni- bltlons of looseness of morals on tho part of the foreigners, with little or no regard for the uplifting or helping of tho Chlneso. The presence of the Christian missionary, with his holy life and his courteous and considerate treatmeat of tho natives, has acted as a' cor- rontivfl of these bad Influences nnd taught the Chinese that all foreign- ers cannot be Judged nllko. This Is the leavening Influence which has -o largely helped in breaking down tho wall of separatirn oeiween umu" and foreigners and also In paving tho way for the entrance on so large a scale of Western civilization. It would be difficult Indeed to over- estimate tho Influence exerted in this ,nfnrmntlnn of a whole nation by ' tho force of Christian missions.
