The Difference

The following forcible contrast is instructive to the lover of missions:—
There is one Christian minister for every 500 of the population of the United States, and there is but one for every 114,000 in Japan, one for 165,000 in India, one for 220,000 in Africa, and one for 437,000 in China. There are 405,297 temples and shrines in Japan, and only 1,635 churches, chapels, and preaching-places, nearly 250 times as many places to worship myriad gods as to worship the living God.
