Why?


To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In the Indianapolis Journal Of Jan. %
ult is an editorial about the Philippines as
a missionary field. The editor suggests as
follows: "As all the natives who have been
under the direct influence of the Span
ish are already faithful adherents of the
Christian faith. 1t seems hardly necessary
to teach them the doctrines of other sects."
When 1t is notorious that the monks and
friars who have had the care of these ma
tives are grossly immoral 1t would seem
that this ought to be conclusive reason
that they should have religious teachers
sent among them who at least have savory
regulations for morality. The editor makes
other suggestions. One is that 1T seems
unfortunate that In this work OF evan
gelization some agreement cannot be
reached among the numerous Protestant
denominations whereby the sectarian diff
ferences can be set aside In dealing with
the heather and have only the CHRISTIAN
principles common to all instilled into their
minds. There is no question that the num-
Der of sects represented in China, Japan
and other mission fields and the not infre-
quent manifestations OF antagonism among
the various representatives Thereon nave
puzzled and repealed the people meant to be
benefited and greatly checked the progress
of Christian ideas"
The editor then proposes that mission
aries should be sent there ito labor only
as Christians, and not as Baptists, Meth
odists. Presbyterians or Episcopalians or
members of any other denomination" The
plan for all the sects to unite and send
some people to labor only as Christians
is impracticable. There would be no Chris
tians outside of these denominations to
send If there were there would be no or
ganized responsible body left to send them.
The UNCONVENTIONAL differences are in nom
essentials and are not serious enough TO
''puzzle and repel' the heather from Chris
tianity 1t is very seriously questioned
that the number Of denominations of Chris
tians present in heather lands induces the
barbarous natives to reject Christianity.
