CHRISTIAN CHIN A
REMARKABLY PROGRESS OF THE
MISSIONARY MOVEMENT.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PEKING, November A.-A great deal OF
discussion is going on in the Chinese news
papers just at present to the work of
the missionaries In China. Perhaps nothing
could show the difference between the old
China and the new like simple statement
of fact that Chinese editors even dare to
print arguments In favor OF the mission
aries without shivering and trembling for
fear that their offices may be mobbed by
the indignant natives. 1t appears TO be the
concensus of the opinions of the editors of
the various publications that in order to
learn the truth about the missionary move
ment Inquiries mus. be made, not at the
treaty ports but in the interior OF the
country AS may be readily understood
missionary is no more OF novelty at the
treaty ports than is a clergyman novelty
in the streets OF New York and San Fran
cisco. Then, too, the treaty port trader
his minds eye fixed on trade rather than
upon religious sub1ects-knows little about
the matter. He is quite likely TO argue
against the missionaries-nnore SO than any
OF the educated Cinnamon. If arguments
will not suffice the treaty port trader can
generally be relied upon to dig up one or
two stories OF rice CHRISTIANS faminar
to the early-comers.
One thing may be taken for granted. 1t
Is as absurd to argue from old facts either
in America or China generation ago
pecting that many so-called converts
adopted Christianity for what they could

tians." to use the expressive phrase In the
old days was even upheld by the wisest of
missionaries. II has long since been
definitely abandoned. generation ago
men were often sent out as missionaries In
the orient because they were not clever to
work at home 1t is claimed that this has
all been changed and that the orient now
secures for the missionary field the pick
Of the Scottish and American colleges.
Certain IL is that many of these men were
tested by fire and blood during the recent
Boxer uprising and that they stood the
test.

to consider the more serious phases Of the

may be said for the fact that l am older

There. are today over 1900 Protestant
missionaries at work in China, nearly all
of them English or American. Most Of
these are young people in the prime Of life
They have knowingly and willingly placed
themselves in positions where any outburst
of national passion means death in the most
terrible of forms And any child knows
that the salaries are not SO large that they
can be accused of going abroad for the
money.
Perhaps the most remarkable of the mis-
sionary movements going on in the orient
today be found in northeastern China
and In Korea. There communities are be-
ing turned almost wholesale to Christian
ity. Four five young Americans settled
| at Sun-chon five years ago. Today they
=, have in their district eighty churches and
1900 adherents. 1t is doubtful whether
| the history of any land or any time will
show SO great a change In so short period
| OF time, unless the conversions have been
! conversions forced at the point Of the
sword. That there is nothing forced about
| this particular movement is demonstrated
by the fact that the converts build and pay
l for their own churches and pay for their
own ministers. Towns IN the historic no
mans land"-the bandit region between
| Korea and Manchuria-are being outwardly
| transformed, schools are arising and even
! the women are coming from life of SUBJ
| servience to a life Of comradeship with
| their husbands.
The wisdom of sending to China the pick
| Of the brains Of the Christian countries Is
| demonstrated by the fact that in China the
missionaries have to deal with the most as
| tute brains and with officials who have
| made the thoroughness of their training
their glory. The semi-efficient man. 1t Is
| said, may scrape through his work in
America or Europe, especially If he is
backed up by friendly influences. But he
! can do nothing more than fail In China.
The missionaries who have succeeded in
China have been men who have reflected
| the character of the communities in which
| they have resided. They have been men
| who would have succeeded In any walk In
| life to which they might have been called
| One of the most striking things in the
| missionary position is the manner In which
| the confidence of the officials has been won.

to foreign markets. For the ten months
ending April, 1906 the exports from the port
of Cebu amounted to 81, 527, $40; while for
the same period the importation amounted
to s.. 994.s7 this in money of the United
States, and may be taken as a fair critic
rfon of the trade of the port while the pres
ent business depression continues. These
exports consist principally of hemp, sugar,
copra and tobacco. During the year 1905
Cebu exported to foreign countries 26,5
tons of hemp, valued at $4,331 $40, United
States money, besides sending large
amount to Manila which is credited to the
exports from that port, this too in an
unusually dull year in the hemp industry.
1t Is conservatively estimated that within
the next five years the annual expectation
of hemp will amount to at least ten million
dollars, gold, per annum. When the pres
ent expectations are considered in COMPARE
son with what the country is capable of
producing with modicum of effort on the
part of the inhabitants. these figures shrink
into insignificance. Thousands, even hun
dreds of thousands, of acres of the most
fertile and productive land in the world lie
uncultivated in, the islands above named
and they need but little effort to make them
produce profitable crops Of hemp, cocoa
nuts, cocoa berries, coffee and tobacco.
Capital Needed.
Much has been said and written of the
gage successfully in business in The Philip
plHcS. 4dISc CdpildA Is always ueSlEdUIc
and to successfully compete in the business
of importing and exporting it is absolutely
necessary, but not SO in agriculture. En-
ergy and persistence are the main capital
required Excellent land can be had at
from SO to $40 per acre and even less in
many cases. or 1t can be leased at low fig
ures. The cost Of cultivation is also low.
Farm laborers receive from ten to twenty
cents, gold, per day, though the usual
method is to allow the laborers to work the
land on shares, the owner furnishing the
seed and receiving one-third of the harvest
ed crops Failure of crops is almost un-
known when they receive any attention.
Although hemp is now generally considered
the most profitable crop when the land Is
adapted to its cultivation, yet experience
has shown that other products such as
cocoa nuts, cocoa berries and tobacco, can
be made to produce even more per acre
and with less labor than hemp the dlner-
ence being that 1t requires longer Tor the
former to come into bearing. The markse
for all of these products is constantly Inn
proving, the demand for cocoanut oil being
especially largely on the Increase.

When Magellan came sailing along this
way In 1921, seeking a shelter for his sturdy
ships, he selected the port where now stands
the city Of Cebu. On what Is now Plaza
Rizal, in front of the city hall, he set up the
cross the symbol of his faith, and there
with prayer and thanksgiving he and his
intrepid band celebrated the first mass that
was ever said in the Philippine Islands. The
beautiful harbor proved to be safe haven
for his ships, but the great navigator him
self fen victim to the fierce aborigines
whom he attempted to subdue. The spot
where he was slain, some five or six miles
from the city Of Cebu on the little Island
of Mactan, is marked by a simple monu-
ment built of coral rock now fast crumb-
ling to decay. Although Magellan himself
did not live to see any appreciate effect Of
his visit upon the natives, yet his expedition
was in reality the commencement or the
great work Of Christianfzation and civiliza-
ton in the Philippines. The pious fathers
who came with the expedition set up great
wooden cross upon the spot where the first.
mass was said and before their departure
many of the Inhabitants had accepted the
new religion and been baptized. Cebu is
therefore the oldest city in the Philippines
and is the starting point In their progress.
Interesting as is the history of Cebu its
present condition and prospects and prob
abilities for future development are the fea-
lures which just now are attracting the
greatest attention.
City Of Cebu.
The city OF Cebu is the commercial depot
and market Of the visayas and is the dis
tributing point for more than a third of
the entire population of the Philippine
archipelago. Being the principal port of
entry for the visayas practically all of the
exports and imports pass through this port.
Products from all parts of the islands OF
Bohol Negros, Mindanao Camaguin. Samar,
