A few passages from this work, omit ting much that is unprintable, will make it clear that the diffusion of the Christian religion was the real grievance, there being no political issue involved except time, anys a writer in the London DailyTM in one passage, where the writer says vaguely that "the devil-kings of all the foreign countries are plotting for the ter ritory of China." which end he goes on to show will be brought about by mission arics:
