White Influence

White Influence.—Writing to The Missionary Review, Mrs. J. T. Whitney says: “While in the Marshall Islands with my husband, I was trying to persuade a native young man to go as a teacher to another island. He said, ‘We Marshall islanders are not like white people,—we love our relatives and our homes.’ No wonder he said it, when he had seen so many white men who were mere driftwood. To counteract the influence of these low white men is one of the greatest obstacles in these islands.”
It is so everywhere; those who have had the best opportunity, and therefore ought to set the best example, will not go into the kingdom of God themselves nor set such an example as to encourage others to go in.
