The Boxer Movement and Bible Translation
makes quite a difference sometimes. God overrules and uses many instrumentalities whose principles He does not indorse. He does not indorse the wrath of man, but He sometimes makes it to praise Him. The psalmist says: “Surely ‘the wrath of man shall praise Thee; the remainder of wrath shalt Thou restrain.’” Ps. 76:10. An incident is now recorded of His overruling the Boxer movement in China for good. That uprising was against foreigners, all of whom are there rated as Christians, and Chinese Christians were the principal sufferers at the hands of the Boxers. Now it is said that the insurrection has made possible the translation of the Bible in a form which can be read by about three-fourths of the Chinese population.
