Excerpt from Morrison and the Opening of ChinaThere is likewise a lack of emphasis upon the personality of man. The individual is but one of an enormous mass. There are nearly four hundred million people in China and each one is but an infinitesimal atom in the great social body. The individual cares nothing about him self or his neighbor, suicide is one of the commonest acts in China - a woman in a fit of despondency over a family jar throws her life away, a school boy because of a reproof he has received 1n school, makes way with himself. Life is cheap, altogether too cheap to make it c'ount for anything. The individual is nothing.And not only is there no personal God, and not only does the individual count for almost nothing, but there is no thought of a relationship between a personal God and a human individual.The essence of our religion is personal con tact With God. We are not satisfied, nor ever can be, with our Christian faith unless it means to us the reaching out of our individual human soul to grasp a personal God.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
