MARK TWAIN on AMENT.
The Humorist Does Not Like the Mis-
sionary's Methods.

| Mark Twain's article in the North Amer
lean Review for February, TO the Person
! Sitting in Darkness" uses this quotation
from the Chinese news of last December:
THE Rev. Mr.. Ament of the Ameri-
can Board of Foreign Missions has re-
turned from a trip which he made for the
purpose of collecting indemnities for dam.
ages done by Boxers. Everywhere ne
went he compelled the Chinese to pay
He says that All his native Christians are
now provided fer. He had 700 of them
under his charge, and 500 were killed. He
has collected SEQ taels for each of these
murders, and has compelled fun payment
for all the property belonging 10 Chris
tllns that was destroyed. He also as
eessed fines amounting to thirteen times
the amount of the indemnity. This money
win be used for the propagation of the
Gospel.
Mr., Ament declares that the compen-
satlon he has collected is moderate when
compared with the amount secured by the
| Catholics, who demand, in addition TO
money, head for head They collect 500
taels for each murder Of a Catholic. In
the Wen-Chiu country $50 Catholics We're
| Killed, and tor this the European Catho-
lies here demand 10000 strings Of cash
and $50 heads.
In the course OF a conversati Mr.
Amont referred TO the attitude of the
missionaries toward the Chinese He
said
II deny emphatically that the mission
aries are vindictive. that they generally

did not demand. cuticise the Amerl-

the Germans, and 1T is a fact that to-day
Catholic Christians, carrying French flags
and armed with modern guns. are footing
villages in the Province of Chilli .
Commenting on that the humorist said:
by happy luck we get all these glad
tidings on Christmas Eve-just in time to
enable us to celebrate the day with proper
gayety and enthusiasm. Our spirits soar.
aud we find we can even make jokes:
Taels l win, heads you lose Our Rev.
Ament is the right man in the right
place. What we want of our mission
aries out there is not that they shall
merely represent in their acts and per
sons the grace and gentleness and charity
and loving kindness of our religion, but
that they shall also represent the Amari-
can spirit.
Our Rev Ament is justihably jealous
of those enterprising Catholics, who not
only get big money for each lost convert.
but get head for head besides. But he
should soothe himself with the reflection
that the entirety of their eXactions are
for their own pockets, whereas he, less
selfshly, deVotes only 300 taels per head
TO that service and gives the whole vast
thirteen repetitions of the property in
demnity to the service of propa eating the
Gospel. His magnanimity has won him
the approval of his nation, and will get
him monument Let him be content with
these rewards. We all hold him dear for
manfully defending his fellow missionaries
from exaggerated charges, which were
beginning to distress us. but which his
testimony has so considerably modified
that we can now contemplate them with
out noticeable pain. For, now we know
that even before the siege, the mission
aries were not generally out looting, and
