Christian Missions, Vol. 2: Their Agents, Their Method, and Their Results (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Christian Missions, Vol. 2: Their Agents, Their Method, and Their Results
Catholics in the conversion of the natives having been greater than those of the Dutch, and those of the Dutch having greatly exceeded the British, it is in the same proportion that the three classes possess a permanent influence over the native mind. (i) The admission is not without value, especially from such a source, but it might have been more complete. The influence of the British, as far as religion is concerned, has yet to be acquired; that of the Dutch, so long Supreme in the island, has vanished without leaving a trace; while that of the Catholics, which preceded them both, has survived the dissolution of the one, and gained its peaceful triumphs in spite of the jealous hostility of the other. These three posi tions we shall now establish, by the evidence of Protestant witnesses of many creeds and various social position, but all familiar, from personal oh servation and scrutiny, with the facts which they record.
