Pagoda Shadows Studies From Life In China PDF Download

Excerpt from Pagoda Shadows: Studies From Life in China HE conversion of China is the heaviest piece of work now left for the Church of Christ to do. No where else on the globe does there exist a compact or homogeneous population of anything like the same extent. The future Church of China will be in mere bulk the greatest branch ever known of the Church universal. But its importance will not be measured by its bulk alone. The Chinese are pretty sure to have a main part to play in the future of Asia. Those who possess the best acquaintance with the farther East, or are best able to forecast its probable development, are of opinion that this swarming Chinese stock, patient, industrious, frugal, ready to migrate, and able to thrive where others starve, is destined to be (next, perhaps, to the anglo-american) a predominant element in the lands that are washed by the Pacific Ocean.
