People at home, who never go abroad, do not know, that when they are thinking of half-starved missionaries, wandering about and livlog in mad hovels, many are in reality enjoying the best things of this life, living on first-class food, under punkabs, lying back in long chairs, quaffing cool drinks, or enjoying a trip up country. In a well-furnished house-bost, while the mercantile community are earning a living by the sweat of their brow
There are a lot of missionaries, and I have had the pleasure of meeting several, who work and toil at all hours and seasons, who honestly, earnestly and quietly do what they came out for. missions in China; then why does the missionary pester the life of every foreigner for the almighty dollar, and 3 times out of for some school where native legitimate and illegitimate children are being fed, clothed and educated, whase parents are in all probability having's good time in an opium den, or worse. The foreigner nearly always stumps up, although if he should happen to have children of his own, he is compelled to run into debt or deprive himself of the necessaries of life to send them home to school, because the missionary body will not undertake to teach foreign children. A foreigacz in Chins, unless he has a good income, has to think seriously of a family on the world, without means of getting muried and running the risk of throwing subsistence; not so the missionary, who gets a premium oually for every child bis family happens to be blessed with.
