toward all religions except their own They
come to Asia to tear down our superstitions
and build up greater ones, if possible, in
their place.
Q. How do you reconcile those state
ments, Doctor with the fact that many of
those missionaries are College graduates?
A. | hardly believe that three per cent
of them can be graduates of reliable Col
leges, such as Johns Hopkins Columbus
Grard, or Yale. Many of them. are grad
yates of Denominational Colleges so-called;
Colleges in name only. You know what
they are. I believe you have been a stu
dent i'm two such Institutions yourself.
O. How do the missionaries live?
A. I have never seen a Protestant mis-
sionarv live in India japan or China with
less than three servants Most of them
take from three to four months summer
vacation. Thev are al provided out of the
Mission funds with two homes for the sum-
mer and one for the winter. The smallest
salary received is $4,000 besides thew also
get an allowance for each member of their
families besides n large amount of native
assistance. Considering the PURCHASING
newer cf money in India. should say that
missionary receiving nominal salary
cf $500 would he well provided for az
# in this country he bad an income Of
Sc 900.
q How do the missionaries justify their
Fecpino of 50 MANY servants.
A. Tn two WAYS First they claim that
other Furoneans pnd Americans live in this
wav i'm India. and that IT is therefore nee
esearv on their part t. keep IN their sta.
ticn end the DIGNITY of the Christian re.
lioion. So then. il seems. the Christian re-
1ioon Is religion of dieni'v! Secondly.
thev claim that two servants in India will
orlv 9rcomDish 20 much as one in America.
7 would ask them how manv of them were
accustomed to one servant in America

these arraneements We're strictlv necessary
to their health and perhaps their lives be
caueo cf the climate. What can you say as
10 that?
j. have only TO replv that during the
three or four months when the weather is
undulv hot most of the missionaries take
= vacation: and that there at least $50 OOO
Furopeans in India who keen but one ser,
want while the missionaries keep three.
O. What do the missionaries do?
A. The average missonary's life IS
erent something ike this. He arises and
has breakfast at eight or nine. Then If he
has children of his own he spends n few
hours with them teaching them his laneu
are and other things. then he reads his
raners: mos of them take a morning walk
Nv that time il is time for dinner After
dinner MANY of them take n nap. Then
they meet the native Christian workers and
herr their reports. Then they go driving
in their carriages, or hlcNcle rldlnS. ManV
play polo hockey, tennis or cricket till II
is time for afternoon tea. Ply this time
they are exhausted with thei" days hard
work. and II is time for supper. After
supper God knows what they do.
O. How do YOU know all this?
A. BY personal observation; by the re-
ports of native servants employed by the
by the reports of native
teachers employed by the missionaries
while learning native languages. by all the
ronort of native Christian workers.
o Do the people of Asia look upon these
as moral teachers?
A First of all. Tie average life led by
