Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Political Obstacles to Missionary Success in China On the 16th April, 1901, Mr. Alexander Michie delivered a lecture on "The Political. Obstacles to Missionary Success in China" in the St. Andrew´s Hall, Hongkong, under tho auspices of the Hongkong Odd Volumes Society. H.E. Sir Henry Arthur Blake, K.C.M.G., Governor of Hongkong, presided. Mr. Michie said: - With the exception of a few extremists who glory in the contemplation of martyrdom, who regard the effusion of blood as no drawback whatever to the propagation of their faith, men of all classes must deplore the violence which attends missionary operations in China. Periodical outrages, destruction of life and property, savage passions incessantly inflamed spreading like a bush-tire among the Chinese people, holocausts of adherents to foreign sects. such things are all too frequent and too wide-spread to be attributed to local or accidental circumstances, The root causes of these ever recurrent phenomena must be constant, and they must be general. And so long as the root causes remain it is obvious that similar effects must be expected to show themselves. How far the ramifications of these untoward effects extend is probably but faintly realisable by persons at a distance from the scene.
