Christianity and Civilization

THE British East India Company said at the beginning of the nineteenth century, “The sending of Christian missionaries into our Eastern possessions is the maddest, most expensive, most unwarranted project that was ever proposed by a lunatic enthusiast.” The English lieutenant-governor of Bengal said at the close of the nineteenth century, “In my judgment Christian missionaries have done more lasting good to the people of India than all other agencies combined.” —Van Dyke.
