l thought there was but one. While
living in tie far east l have founu
two kinds, those who live over in the
unchristian lands, and those who llVe
round about us at home.
while representing my government
as a consular officer in the West IN
dies | received a cablegram notifying
me of my appointment as consul gen.
eral at Singapore. One of the first du-
ties was to inquire into and ascertain
the personnel and number Of the Amer
lean colony.
II found it was two-thirds mission
aries. l had no sooner found this than
l ran UP against the missionary CRUZ.
| heard from this person this charge
and that charge against the mis-
sionary.
Il made up my mind I would per
sonally investigate and ascertain the
truth. ] took my time about IT,
watched the missionaries IN thelr out-
ward life: watched them in their
home life; l watched their work. anu anu
after months of thorough investigation
l learned every charge against the mis-
sionary was false and malicious.
about two years after we had ar
rived there, and after studying the
missionary in his life and work fur-
ther, and noting the true, sincere
at all times and under all clrcunl-
stances. and the sincerity of the Chris
tian natives-who will often put you
and me to shame-I made up my mlnu,
after being under deep conviction for
a long time. that if God could make
such a finished product out OF the raw
material l saw in Singapore, He could
make something out of me and l then
and there passed my burden at the
foot of the cross, humbly repenant,
surrendering my all, and gave my heart
to Christ"
