Upon the Rev. DIR. Ament has fallen the
bulk of the criticism respecting the conduct
,,f the missionaries in China during and
following the outbreak of the Boxers. He
WIS active by reason of his prominence
among his brethren. and by reason also of
his familiarity with the surroundings. He
had been at work for some time in that
country ard had established a reputation
which made him easily leader in the
emergency. He took hold promptly, and
"a. Iabnred with energy. According TO we'll
accepted reports. he fed a good many hun
ery people. and sheltered and protected
them in time of chaos, and. like a capa-
hI- general and man of affairs. he made
tin enemy. as far as it was possible. pay
thu bills That was the head and front of
his offending Did it justify the attacks
tEa- have been made on him? On the con-
trary. did it not entitle him to praise and
reward?
1t is difficult to understand what the
critics of Dr. Ament would themselves have
dope had they been in his place. Would
they have sounded the note among the mis-
SirEari"S and the native converts. Every
fellow for himself and devil take the hind
most o. or would they have cOunseled non

their religious professions did not warrant
any "rher course? Would they have ac-
copied the outbreak a sign that heaven
