Excerpt from The Cross and the Dragon or the Fortunes of Christianity in China: With Notices of the Christian Missions and Missionaries, and Some Account of the Chinese Secret SocietiesIn saying this much, the writer is far from wishing to depreciate the value of Christian missions in China, or to discourage their sup porters. It will be found that he has done full justice to the valiant and honourable men, both Catholic and Protestant, who have gone forth as labourers in this vineyard. But too much imme diate gain must not be expected from their labours. Ripe clusters must not be expected where the buds have scarcely made their appearance. The works of Deity are of slow growth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
