MISSIONARIES IN CHINA.
The London Times comes to the defencoof missionaries in China. It says: The oaly real interpreter of the thought and progress of the West to the millions of China is the missionary; an<l when we remember that European knowledge of China is derived almost wholly from the works of missionaries we may fairly say that these men stand as interpreters between tlie East and West. As to oharity, we can only answer that China had uo efficient hospitals or medical attendance untii the missionaries established them, auil, io truth, she has no other now; and when her jrreat men, suoh us Li Hung Chang and Prince Chun, are in serious danger they have to go to the despised missionary doctor for that efficient aid which, no Chiuaraan cau give him.
