Tibet Opening to the Gospel

Mr. Wm. T. Ellis, the editor of "Field of the Continent," interviewed the great Dalai Lama of Tibet. He has a very great title, but is said to be an insignificant personage in physical, mental, and spiritual make-up, and is described as having a pock-marked face, a bullet head, pointed ears, and waxed mustache. The lama declared that it was his plan to return to Tibet and open the closed land to foreigners, and send some of the young Tibetans to Europe and America for education. He expressed regret that Buddhism had declined in purity, but still predicted that in 400 years all the world would be Buddhists. It will be a blessing if Tibet is opened freely to the foreigners. Of course sooner or later it is bound to come. Every country in the world will be swung wide open to God's Gospel of the kingdom, and the world will be left without excuse.
