DEFENSE OF MISSIONS.

Speaking the text "For none of us veth to
himself" Rev Dewitt NJ Benham, pastor of Cen
trail Church, Baltimore, said:
1T is urged in some quarters that because the
heather do not wish the Gospel it should not be
sent to them. 1t is said: The heather have their
forms of religion, with which they seem to be sat
s6ed. Why force our Christianity upon them
when they are unwilling to receive it,? This ar
gument has been used especially in regard to the
Empire of China. If the Chinese do not wish
the Gospel do not send it. But the Chinese do
not seem to care for American merchandise just
now; the Chinese have boycotted American goods.
Then why insist upon sending American goods to
China? Why not close the markets once so
far China is concerned, and wait until the Chin
csc appreciate the value of American trade?
I'VE are not at all surprised that the Chinese
are not disposed to welcome Christianity. A great
heather empire, whose people have for centuries
been schooled in heather practices and superst-
tons, is not likely to welcome the most advanced
form of religion that is to be found in the world
to-day, and especially religion which reproves
The very practices to which the heather
customed and demands conformity to pure and
sou-searching system of ethics
1T would be a most surprising thing if heather
China desired Christianity. Did the ancient
Greeks and Romans desire it? Did the inhab-
tants of the cities of Asia Minor and Macedonia
and Achaia and Rome receive the apostles with
JOY? Were not the first missionaries to the most
enlightened provinces of the Roman Empire beat
tants of Thessolonca say, when the followers of
Christ appeared in their midst These that have
turned the world upside down come hther
also? Missionary history repeats itself i'll China.
Our Lord told his disciples clearly that they would
have these difficulties to meet. He told them that
they would be prosecuted and put to death; that
they would be hated of all men in the prosecution
of their purpose. But lin the full knowledge of
this bitter opposition He said, Go we into all the
world and preach the Gospel to every creature
and 10, | am with you always, even unto the end
of the world"
To the Christian opposition is only chal
enge. He is not foolhardy in following the COM
mand of his Lord. He is faithful. Results in
Europe have shown it. Christendom stands in
evidence of the of Christianity. We do
not expect burglar to welcome police officer,
moonshner to welcome United States
shall, or a promoter of fraudulent enterprises
welcome investigating commission. Why
should we expect heathens to welcome Christian-
ty? Those who have the light best judges of
the spiritual needs of those who sit in darkness.
In the love of God and the love of humanity they
carry the Gospel to those whose posterity will
IN the ages to the memory of and
erect monuments to these self-denying mission
aries of the cross"
