Catholic ta6sda[ Destroyed
ON THE TRAIL OF THE
AMERICAN MISSIONARY

until they can secure work or provision is
made for their return to America. l have
repeatedly been told instances of this sort
concerning a Scandinavian mission, whose
people come chiefly from Minnesota. Some
of the Independent missionaries who do
manage to get along are obliged to give
large part of their time to cultivating their
American constituency.
These missionaries who come out with no
other equipment than enthusiasm make
strange blunders. One party of Swedes
whose advent is pronounced memory In
missionary circles, bore each musical in
strument. They would play and sing
hymns along the street to the entertain
ment of the Chinese. The young women
wrote home glowing accounts of the crowds
that gathered by their street meetings, not
realizing at all that in China such perform
ances as theirs always attributed only
to evil characters and the basest of motives.
Instead of doing good, they actually did
only harm.
Akin TO these, are the religious faddists
who enter the foreign fields, representing
some special tent or doctrine. These make
no special effort to reach the genuine
heather, but confine themselves to prose-
lyting among the native Christians Still
easier mission work is that done by holi-
ness sect in America which publishes pa
per called The Gospel Trumpet 1t APP
peals for funds to eVanSeliZe the heather,
and then spends the money for sending
copies of the paper to missionaries Of the

lished on "a permanent basis. Despite their
expensive equipment-or possibly because
of 1.-THE UNCONVENTIONAL missions are prob
ably the least expensive in the long run,
as we'll the most effective.
Before passing, in my next article, to
criticisms of missionaries by the Chinese
themselves, it is worth while to quote the
opinion of a Russian business man, the
most bitterly anti-missionary critic in
Tientsin. His view, briefly, is that all the
missionaries should be driven cut of the
country-except one for each legation and
consulate-general. for the missionaries
are the only foreigners who really under
stand the Chinese
This latter statement is full of meaning
There are practically no foreigners in China,
outside of the port cities, except mission
aries Few other foreigners anywhere
understand the language at all, using only
pigeon English with their servants. Most
of the authoritative books China have
been written by missionaries. And the
very fact that the work of these men and
women is done off in the interior. and
away from foreign observation, disqualities
most residents of the port cities from pass
ing really intelligent judgment upon the
broader aspects and relations.

Il don't mean," declared Mr.. Mcfarland
that there are any multt-millonaires here.
Your race has been accused of many things,
but not of having mult-milionaires; but
there are here in Washington many men
who by their intelligence and their industry
and self-denial have accumulated property,
many men of your own people. They owe
that in part to the protection of the govern-
ment, TO the opportunity which the city
gives to its citizens, to the churches which
maintain moral order, without which it
would be impossible for property to exist
They owe, in other words, debt to the
community which has made their wealth
possible
Mr. mcfarland followed his remarks on
the building project with an address on
1.-THE Victorious Life" in which he pointed
out that a strenuous conflict is before
every man of courage and principle, and
that the power of God in the life is needful
for victory.
