case Of the two American missionaries on
the kongo who have been sued by the
Belgian officials for libel. When it Is re-
membered that both the United States
and Great Britain have refused to recog-
nize the annexation of the Kongo by Bel
GUM until the barbarous conditions In
connection with native labor have been
reformed. 1t will be seen that Leopold
and his subordinates have reason to feel
aggrieved at the American missionaries
tion's aroused Indignation over the Kongo
atrocities. The elaborate publicity cam
paign of Leopold to counteract this senti-
ment having failed. it is now thought to
discredit the charges by bringing two
missionaries to trial.
The two men directly involved, Rev.
William Morrison and Rev. w. II. Shep-
pard. represent the Southern Presbyterian
Church, and the secretary OF that mis-
sion board, Rev. DR.. 8. II. Chester, has
lately been in confer rence with the Wash
ington officials concerning the case. These
men had given currency to the reports.

that the Belgian officials levy heavy taxes
upon the natives. to be paid in rubber;
that forced labor is exacted from women
and children. as we'll as from men, and
that they are impoverished and most
cruelty treated by the soldiers The Bel
gians are demanding $4,000 damages
from each of the missionaries. The State
Department has ordered Consul W. III.
Handley to attend the trial. which is set
for next Thursday, and to look after the
interests of the Americans.
Further Chinese Troubles.

but persons who keep in touch with the
missionaries there say that there are
deep-running currents Of unrest. and OF
anti-foreign, anti-dynastic revolutionary
sentiment, which may break out in unex-
pected places at any day. The precau-
tions taken during the funeral procession
Of the late emperor reveal the govern
ment's nervousness
1t is true that at the moment mission
aries are in higher favor in China than
ever before. Especially popular are
American missionaries, because Of the
famine relief given two years ago and
because Of the remission of a portion of
the Boxer indemnity The Missionaries
themselves have learned greater caution
and consideration In their dealings with
the natives Not all oe the so-called
martyrdoms Of missionaries in China have
been without offense on the part Of the
victims.
Nobody knows better than the man who
lives in inland China the possibility of a
sudden outburst of madness, due to any
one Of innumerable causes-perhaps a
rumor that the missionary Is stealing or
killing children. Even in Shangai the
yellow peril is SO real a fear that the
Shanghai Volunteer Corps. one company
OF which is composed of Americans, is
ever ready for action. SO 1t would seem
as IL the missionaries troubles were one
with the cause OF civilization.

With American missionaries killed In
Turkey and Persia, the State Department
has found itself once more engaged with
the missionary problem. after rest Of
two or three years from any episodes
OF this sort. Warships have been sent
TO Asia Minor and the officials have
deputed Consul w. H. Hadley to attend
the trial which Belgian officials are pros
ecuting against two American mission
aries on the Congo.
These incidents, coupled with the quick
ened interest in missions which has been
shown by American churchmen during
recent months, have raised afresh tbs
whole question Of the right Of American
missionaries to the support OF the gov
ernment in times of peril. The larger
subject Of the worthwhileness Of foreign
missions is also being debated with re-
newed vigor. Many persons regard the
efforts Of the men and women who are
sent out to non-Christian lands by the
American churches as an unwarrantabie
interference with native religions The
answer is made that the work OF the
missionaries has the Endorsement OF the
American people. and that 1t Is proper
part Of the larger worlds service OF the
nation and of civilization. The same OBJ
jections were made to the pioneer efforts
of Livingstone and Gordon, who are now
enrolled among the heroes of modern his
tory.
Criticisms and Their Answers
IL these missionaries had stayed at
home, say the objectors. their own lives
would have been saved and the govern
ment would be spared a great deal of
expense and trouble. They were not
asked for by the people to whom they
went, and If they run into danger 1t is
of their own choosing. Moreover, 1t Is
pointed out that missionaries are oftener
in trouble in the remote parts Of the
earth than are representatives of COM
merce. To this the advocate Of missions
makes reply that it is a mark Of Chris
tianity and Of the American spirit to
help anybody who Is In need wherever he
may be. Shall man be disqualified from
the right Of citizenship because he
chooses to undertake to spread twentieth
century ideas among backward peoples.
all for no gain to himself? Is the mis-
sionary any the less an American be-
cause he Is after souls and not after dol
lars7 Has not the good Samaritan as
much right on the Jericho road as the
merchant or the bandit?
Certainly he represents a larger definite
constituency among the American citizens
than does any foreign commercial sales
man. The church people have 80 unmis-
takably shown their interest In foreign
missions that President Taft. like his
predecessor, President Roosevelt, has re-
peatedly aand publicly declared his in
terest and belief in missions The church
people, when aroused. know how to make
their opinions felt here. So the public
officials who may not possess the Presi-
dents personal interest in missions find
1t expedient to stand with him. After
all, say these, the missionary is at worst
only a misguided person who backs up
his convictions by risking his life.
