go,
Stated more bluht1y, the same idea is COM
veyed by the words, The Chinese F'convert"
cares nothing for the conversion of other
Chinese but leaves that to the hired mis-
sionary and his hired Chinese assistant.
Did eVer say harsher thing than DR..
Griffith the missionary said, when he uttered
that fearful arraignment of the callous in
different, un-spiritual Chinese ''converts!"
DR.. Griffith further says:
"Undoubtedly at present the ma jority of
our (Chinese) church members regard the
church as foreign enterprise for the success
or failure of which the missionaries are
chiefly responsible
There you have the dollar agency, again.
Now listen to what another missionary, DR..
P. c. Leslie says:
can untouched field of eight millions of peo~
pie when missionaries first reached Honan,
what promise after quarter Of century OF it's
ultimate Christianization?'' After giving statis-
tics, showing membership of 1848 after rs years
work, he continues, From this see at once
that each Christian does not add another each
year, but closer examination we also find, that
now with larger membership, adding as
many did few years ago. That is, with
more missionaries, more schools, more employed
Chinese workers with better training, along with
the larger Christian community, the members
added during the past five years do not exceed
the Increase of the preceding five years."
Another feature of the growth of the Church
seems apparent, the largest number of converts
drawn from the centers, and the centers
where there have been Christians for some years
furnish comparatively few converts, not few
Christian communities adding only those of the
younger generation of Christian families
That's appalling, but it bears out what
said IN former article.
Christianity in China, does not keep pace
with the increase of population; and those
places where the missionaries have deliberately,
luxuriously, and un-Scripturally located, are
not bee-hives sending out new swarms of cons
verts to evangelize China.
AS Dr. McCrea says: "By employing
large native staff at foreign expense, the
other (Chinese) Christians have come to feel
that they have no place or duty in the evans
gelization of their own people"
AS to what becomes of the Chinese gradu-
ates from the magnificent Baptist schools
which our churches support in China,
Brother McCrea says:
The educational system when fully developed,
and carried far beyond the corresponding de-
velopment of the native churches, has already
been done by many denominations, and the
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1916-01-13
He again ss..

The most disQuieting feature about the work in
China, from a financial viewpoint, is the fact that
the more Christians get the the work
costs Instead of increase in membership
meaning that the burden is being gradually shifted
to the shoulders of the Chinese, it means rather
increasing burden upon our home
churches, ever increasing pay roll of native
helpers, constantly growing demand for more
money for Church buildings, for school buildings,
for day Schools for boarding Schools for COL
leges, ETC., etc. AS Foreign Mission Board
grows more heavily in debt the pressing question
is, How many Christians can Southern Baptists
afford to carry? For a large majority of those
who become Christians, under the present system,
become in some way beneficiary of foreign funds
either by going directly upon the pay roll of re-
Ceiving educational advantages for their children
or church buildings to worship in and so on
In other words, the greater the number of
converts, the greater the cost Of keeping them
satisfied
How can any reasonable man claim that
Christianity of that mercenary sort, is the
same as that which Paul and the Apostles
planted?
Christianity, and chrome? Christianity,
and premium? Christianity, and free
education? Christianity, and nice salary as
native pastor, Bible woman, hospital attend
ant, free medicine, and cot in the hospital?
Rev. j. G. Griffith, missionary at Honan,
writes in The Chicago Record:
st can scarcely be doubted that, at present,
the great majority of our (Chinese) church
members feel practically no responsibility for
evangelizing their fellow Countrymcr, but re-
gard this mainly as tie b4&onc3s ot tie mis-
sj0norieS and other hired erange1ists.

churches their schools, their hospitals. ETC.,
than the Southern Baptists give to them.
Turn the cow around and lets see how the
statement looks:
Suppose the churches of Great Britain
should be compelled by their Boards to put up
half the money for our schools, churches, hos
pitfalls and trained nurses; and that the Eng
lsh Boards should defend themselves to their
home churches By saying that ace Southern
BapttstS, furnish the other half!
What would the world think of us?
Gracious Father! here we have the South
ern negroes recently slaves, supporting their
own Baptist and Methodist churches
throughout the cotton belt; and it is an open
schools. IN his contribution to taaceS.
Does Brother Smith mean to tell us that
the Chinese who became Christians, are less
able to maintain their churches than oar
negroes are?
The negro has his bishop, his presiding
elder, his conference, his convention, his own
colored pastor, his own church government:
the negro can stand alone, walk alone, take
care of his churchhouse and pay his preacher.
What's the matter with Chinese converts
that they have to be raised on the bottle, and
can never be trusted to stand alone?
What's the matter with 10000 Baptists in
China that they demand, and must have
$4,000 a year, of Southern Baptist money!
Brother Smith says that there are four
seIf-supporting native churches in China,
served by native pastors.
Who built their meeting houses? Who
built the "pastoriums?" How long have they
been self supporting!
In September 1913, t. F. McCrea stated
In writing and aUith0ut contradiction, that
vain
China; and | did not understand him to say
it had a native pastor. Perhaps he meant to
say so, and perhaps [ was in error.
Let me quote his exact language:
II have also been informed by member of
the South China Mission that there is one
tive church in Canton that is absolutely self
supporting, in that they receive no funds
from foreign sources.
So that Southern Baptists have one really
self-supporting church III China, after Is
years of work and the expenditure of mil
lions of money"
You will note that Brother Smith n0ao
contradicts Brother McCrea-or seems to do
So McCrea's one live church was in South
China. while Smiths four are in North CHINA.
Lump it all together, and cOncede that we
have flee live churches after IS years toll,
and the spending of millions of dOllars-even
then the harvest is so pltiably neagre that
you ask yourself
Could not those thousands of evangelists,
teachers, doctors and nurses have been better
employed among the heather of the South;
and should not those millions of dollars have
been invested in Southern schools and hos
pitfalls?
All the pity of it! Our people have been
preached into craze about Foreign Missions,
and they've got it on the brain; and the whole
Orient is today blazoned with magnificent

shops, every one Of which is sorely needed
here at home.
In order that we might pamper the foreign
missionaries, relieve the Chinaman of the re-
sponsibilities which God placed on him, we
have undertaken to do his educational work,
and his charitable work, while our oacm re-
Sp0nsibiHties, for our boys and girls, and for
the poor, the desolate, the afflicted, haze been
sh0metul1y neglected.
You pick up the daily paper and you read
of mothers and fathers killing themselves be-
cause they are out of work, have no money!
and have no friends who can help: and then,
when the wall of orphaned children prick the
consciences of the righteous, they hustle
around, noisily, saying they will raise the
children.
God Why not help the destitute father
and mother, SO that they can raise their chill
dren!
In former article, I had said, "Take the
American dollar out of it, and the pretending
Christians of the East would vanish like the
mist of the morning"
Brother Smith alludes to this as Rhetoric"
Well let us see what is the opinion Of honest
missionaries.
Roland Allen, the Englishman, came to the
deliberate conclusion that Christian efforts,
as now conducted, had pauperized the Chinese
churches, had trained them to look to foreign
money for their support and he abandoned
the work, hurting against it his dynamic book,
"Mission Methods"
Rev. F. F. McCrea says:
We see in China dependent, unspritual,
devitalized Christianity willing to lie down and
let the foreigner do it all. Our Christian propa-
ganda in China is still foreign, still exotic it has
failed to grip the soul of the Chinese people. This
failure has grown out of this mistake of ever
building institutional equipment far beyond the
ability of the Chinese to support making it
necessary for the foreign missionary to keep
everything under his control. 1t has taught the
Chinese not to be self-reliant but dependent. We
shall never have triumphant Christianity in China
until this system is changed, until spiritual
rather than carnal means, until we awaken mo-
tives rooted in the Cross Of Christ rather than
Self-interest.
