Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In the Valley of the Yangtse Two thousand years ago, when the ancient Britons hunted in our great forests, and the Druids offered human sacrifices to appease the anger of their gods, China was already a civilized country. Gentlemen and ladies dressed in silks and satins, and lived in fine houses; their sons learnt to read and write, and were well versed in the native classics. The Emperor lived in a splendid palace, and the officials behaved with ceremonial politeness. Centuries passed by, and still China was ahead of England. Gunpowder, the mariner´s compass, and the art of printing were invented in China before they were thought of in Europe. And yet to-day China needs our missionaries! For civilization cannot save from sin, nothing but the Cross of Christ can do that. China has had religions, priests, and sacrifices; but they were thought out and planned by man, very little in them was of God, and so they could not bring forgiveness, peace, salvation. There is much misery to-day in China and more sin. Confucius told people to be good, Buddha pitied the suffering world, but Christ alone had power to make men good, and to save them by the sacrifice of Himself.
