Book Description
Excerpt from The Chinese Recorder and Missionary Journal, Vol. 25: January, 1894 We should decide such questions as these calmly and deliber ately with a full knowledge of our rights and with the desire to act in such a manner as shall tend to prevent the recurrence Of such sad and shocking events. In the first place it is well to remember that when we leave our native lands to live in China as missionaries we in nowise give up our birth-right. The English missionary is still an English man and a British subject in the full possession Of all his rights as such. The American citizen has not relinquished one iota Of his rights and privileges as an American citizen. They both have the same right to claim and to Obtain the protection of their respective governments as the consul, the merchant, or any other foreigner residing on these shores. It is Of the greatest importance that any steps we may take to bring about a solution of this question should be taken at once. The Old saying, 'he gives twice who gives quickly, ' is applicable here. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
