Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1903-05-16

Tn 1Sy2 an American tourist was
talking in Calcutta to high class ben
gall. During their conversation this
dark colored native Of India exultantly
said: "Ah, you are from America! we
are soon going to send over our MIS-
sionaries to Chicago, and we snail con-
vert America TO the teachings OF KALI
Buddha and Mohammed." But when
the oriental missionaries began to tax
we remembered the burning ghats OF
the Gangcs. We could hear the death
cries of the child widows who were
being sacrificed upon the funeral pyres.
We could see the superstitions and de-
baucheries of the harems and the deg
radations of their people in the east
Edwin Arnold's Light Of Asia" might
burn brightly when fed by the oil OF
the poetic Imagination Of the gifted
English writer, who married dark
skinned daughter Of the east, but Ar
nold's Light of Asia" was found to be
as dark as India, with its teeming mil
lions in utter darkness-darkness black
"a that of Africa or as dark as the be-
nighted human beings who, as canni-
balls. are banqueting off human hesh.
AS all peoples must believe In COD
of some sort. so today, as never before,
the intelligent civilized nations know
that the gospel Of Jesus Christ Is the
only gospel which will bring true peace
and progress to the world. When ma
tive chief asked Queen Victoria the
source Of England's strength she hand
ed him q Bible. So, today, most OF the
civilized races are ready to confess
that the strength of the mightiest
earthly governments is centered IN the
word of God. Where the Bible Is not,
there are superstition and ignorance
ana brutalizing crime.
Thus many preliminary battles have
already been fought and won. Now
comes the practical question, What
race of people is going to start forth
TO lead in the last great battle, which
IS TO be fought for the redemption OF
the world for Christ? Has Jesus O
right to look with hope toward any
peopIe more confidently than to the
, Anglo-Saxon race? From what race
came the crusaders. Godfrey and Fred
