TO THE EMIR OF THE "Handkaro TalIGRAPH,"
SIR,It is often seried by the widly, and Just as often denied by "the godly," that the majority of Missionaries go abroad to have an easy time of it; that they are enga«ed in trying to socomniish in Chiện what they have themasives admitted on mere than one occasten to be utterly that they are the chief crate of Amponible; flots; that their overt pats have direc ly led to wars, and that many of them are vetusted by sordid motives of gain.. Now, in there any truth in these allegations There cannot be the least doubt about it.
There may be some Protestant sky-pilots who believe they are doing the right thing in coming to China; but there are alan large numbers who know they are neglecting their duty at home where the bitter cry of the outcast millions of poverty-stricken men, women and children, is ever ringing in the ears of the hard-working. poorly paid city missionary where the dark places are growing darker day by day; where misery, reichedness ard starvation stare one In the face at almost every turn. They leavé these herrer, they turn their backs on their unfortunate countrymen to follow that deating phantom yelept evangelisation of the heathen Chinese, live to fine, houses, marry and give du marriage, and furnish secret seclelles here with an excusa the embroiling the Chinese Government with Foreign Powers. But that in not the worst, for they cry out for revenge They shout for the merciless persecution of the rloters by barbarous efficials; they shriek for the decapitation of the "terrible leaders and bawl for huge indemnities. That is what these soul-savers, these men who take up the cross, these followers of the lowly Narene, are constantly daing; aye, have done recently with unparalleled vehemence in respect to the late trouble along the Yangtere valley.
