which it can show, and to measure
the probability of its ultimate suc
cess by the magnitude of tbe task
set neiere it. borne statistics re
cently compiled and set forth in a
recent number of the Fortnightly
Review, anord an opportunity to
inquire into the actual 'esults of
the efforts of missionaries in what
it pleases ns to call the heathen
lauds; and also to measure with
some degree of accuracy the proba
bility ot eventual success in con
verting "heathendom"to Cl.riitian
itv. The best attainable estimate
places the "heathen" and Moslem
population of Asia and Africa at
920,000,000 or even fifteen times tbe
population of the United States
Persons who have investigated the
subject with great care estimate
that the annual increase in this
population by the excess of births
is not less than twelve per 1000,
which would give for the 920,000,
000 an annual increase of 1 1 000.
000. Now the highest estimates
which well-informed missionaries
p ace upon the number of conver
sions and accessions by birth an
nually is 60.000, aod it is admitted
that of these not a tew relapse into
heathenism. But supposing that
they a.11 remain steadfast, it will be
seen that the increase in Christians
is insignificant as compared with
the net increase of population by
birth. At the rate named it would
take 183 years to convert one year's
increase. To sta it ii an acother
way, lor every auai ioual Ctnbtaiu
there are 183 additional heathens
and Moslems. I: is evident that,
as time goes n, if no oetier pro
gress than this is to be made,wb:le
the actual number of converts to
Christianity in heatbeudom will
slowly increase, their relative
number, as compared with the
totality ol beathyudom, will stead
ily and greatly decrease.
But it will be argued that this
estimate does not take iuto account
the fact that converts, and because
ot the be.ter life which it causes
llieni to lead, many are induced to
iol.ow their example. Un fortun
ately for this theory, it is by no
means borne out by facts. The
increase in happiness in a convert
does not seem to be sufficiently
couspicuous to be observed by the
"iie&lucii in bis blindness."
Neither does it appear, on the testi
mony of the missionaries them
&clve9,thai theconvtits as a class do
lead oetter lives than hciore cou
version. On the contrary, it is
noted in a great maLy cases tht
they learu European vices much
more easily than Cbristaia virtues,,
and in far too many cases the fact
uecoines apparent that conviction
had very much tessto do with con
version than the hope of some im
mediate advantage to be gained.
Upon this question of the quality
of tbe converts much evidence is
sdouced. A well known African
traveler says th.it iu many impor
tant districts there the missionaries,
after twenty years of work, "can
scarcely number, in honest statistics
twenty sincere converts. , In other
part8,"be continues, "their religion
is discredited by numbering among
its adherents all the drunkards,
liars rogues and unclean livers in
the colony." Three years aioce, in
a nominally Cnristain village, a
quarrel broke out and not a few
were killed. Tbe victors cooked
and ate bodies of the dead, and as
a punishment, tbe pastor of the vil
lage, a native announced that they ,
were "suspended from church pri
vileges." And concerning tbe very
native pastors, the men so confi
dently relied upon to spread tbe
Gospel, not only by their preach
ing, but by their upright and vir
tuous lives, the same traveler says:
"With a very few rare exceptions
these native pastors, teachers knu
catecnists, whom I have met have
been all more or less bad men.
They attempted to veil an unbridled
immorality with an unblushing
hypocrisy, and a profane display
of mouth religion, woich to an
honest mind seemed even more
disgusting than immorality itself."
A missionary of tbe Church Mis
sionary Society in Bengal says : "I
must confess that neither reader
nor schoolmaster has much in
fluence with the people. Both are
in the habit of drk-kiDg." Of an
other village he says: But it inu-t
be remembered that all these are
counted as converts in missionary
statistics.
. It is unnecessary to question the
honisty of purpose of tbe vast
majority of those who are to day
tsuaged in missionary labor. But
it ma; fairly be questioned whether
their labor is, in the main, of any
avail, or whether its fruit, such as
it seems to be, is, on the whole
good Iruit. The cost is enormous,
and tbe return, taking quality, is
next to nothing . Unless it can be
