showed by means of a comparative and
illustrative way, the humiliating fact,
that the Christian PROCESSING people,
especially, and in fact the American
people in general, are not improving
their time nor talents, in elevating the
immoral conditions Of the Inhabitants
of those foreign landa, and if the
thousands of dollars, that are annually
spent for the unnecessary luxuries of
of life, were sent to those people, in a
united effort to eradicate from the
ranks OF those ignorant and helpless
inhabitants, their weird, superstitious
and unsubstantial myths, they would
in short time be greatly improved
and thereby be raised to a higher
plane Of human intelligence, and
moral refinement. Fifty-two women
