MISSIONARY INSURANCE

To the Editor of the Nowrt-Cinwa DaiLy News."

Su—Inland Missionary in his reply' to my letter confirms contention—that there are a nun\- ber of Missionaries in China who are preaching a Gospel that is not the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ but a Gospel of self-interest, When I read his first letter T came to the conclusion that he had been wounded, and had fallen by the wayside, not amongst thieves, and thought a small portion of the medicine prescribed by Jehovah for the Prophet Jeremiah if placed within his reach would help him to Yegain his feet, and I think T Gingnosed his illness correctly, His feet have certainly slipped.

T do not desire to enter int a Teligious discussion in the columns of the publ prose; it serves no Purpose as fur as ameliorating the conditions rsaintain exist, but the fact of my name not being Uist of Missionaries in the Daily News" Hong List does Preclude me from being a Christian, nor does it prove that Mirsionaries by being included therein are necessarily Christians either. Whether T practise what I preach is answered by the fuct that T try to live the life I believe to be the be 1 fail many a time E have to adi through ignorance, but being con: scious of the fact, it acts as a ster to greater knowledge. Should he in the near future visit Shanghai, and will give me the opportunity, Twill €onvince him of my contention. T will confine my remarks to the following (all local examples)
