Civilization and Missions.

There is question that Ia larger
than government or trade, and that Is
the moral well-being of the vast mil
lions who have come under the protec-
ton OF modern governments. The rep
resentative Of the Christian religion
must have his place side by side with
the man OF government and trade. and
for generations that representative
must be supplied in the person Of the
foreign missionary from America and
Europe Civilization can only be per-
manent and continue blessing to any
people If, in addition to promoting
their material well being, It also
stands for an orderly individual liber-
ty, for the growth of intelligence and
for equal justice in the administration
OF law. Christianity alone meets these
fundamental requirements. The
change of sentiment in favor of the
foreign missionary in a single genera
ton has been remarkable.
