LORD SALISBURY AND FOREIGN MISSIONS. Speaking at a groat public meeting in connection with to celebration of the ( bicenteraiy of tho Society for the Pro- 1 gation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts ' held in Exeter Hall, at which the ! chair was taken by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Salisbury said Just look at this Chinese mutter. You observe that all the people where slaughtered simply because the Chinese dislike their religion ?—there is no nation in the world so indifferent on the subject of religion as the Chinese it is b;cause th- y and other nations have got the idea that missionary work : s a mere instrument of the secular Government in oder to achieve the objects it has in view. That is a most dangerous and terrible snare, I need not say it is utterly unjust and that no mc-n could be more devoted, more free from secondary motives, than the missionaries wiio leave these shores ; bub the fact that it is so does not diminish the reality of the danger which irises from the suspicion—a suspicion whose operation you now see in such terrible and blood-stained' characters at the moment when I speak; to you. May I attempt to point the! moral, and that is that caution and j prudence within the due limits of devotion and enthusiasm, but caution and j prudence, are the duties of missionaries! in a foreign land who not only are ! preaching .the Gospel, are also representing to the eyes of the inhabitants to whom they preach the character and tho aims of the people from who they came. It is a high duty with them to temper their enthusiasm with Christain prudence. I do not suppose that anything would induce them to abandon the earnest prosecution of the work to which they have given their lives—(hear, hear) namely, spreading the worship of Christ and obedience to His Cross.; but if we can show them that prudence is necessary in order that their devotion and their sacrifice may succeed, I hope they will not think we are unduly piessing upon them when we urge that that prudence should bo exercised.
