SHOULD MISSIONARIES BE SENT TO PAPAL COUNTRIES?
SHALL we send missionaries to Roman Catholic countries? Many are asking it. They usually know of Christ, and we should go to the heathen, we are told. But our missionaries in those countries say the destitution and immorality are appalling, and that they are real mission fields. Professor Townsend hints at the real reason for this when, in another connection, he declares that Bishop Spottswood says: "I had rather one-half of the people of this nation should be brought to the stake and burned than that one man read the Bible and form his judgment from its contents." Twenty-seven catechisms used by that church entirely omit the second commandment.—Herald and Presbyter.
