The Sandwich Islands. Do Mis
sions Pay? They Do!
WAS perusing around in dear Doctor
Lovett’s most excellent paper, The Chris
tian Advocate, when my faculties were
attracted by the headline,
“MISSIONS PAY."
A more interesting piece, has seldom
appeared in dear Doctor Lovett’s most excel
lent paper. The writer of the piece, is E. W.
Coleman, of Canton, Ga.
Evidently, Brother Coleman is a man of
robust faith. AV hat he believes, he believes.
You may differ from Brother C., but you
can t withhold your admiration for his grip
on things unseen.*
Brother Coleman brought up the conver
sation about Foreign Admissions. He feels
deeply on that subject. Moreover,.he is forti
fied with facts. If he got these facts out of
a missionary sermon, that’s neither here nor
there.
Brother Coleman gives an example of how
missions pay. 'That is right. Whenever you
assert that mission investments pay, produce
your evidence, if you can.
Brother Coleman’s example of how mis
sions pay, is the Sandwich Islands, now
called the Hawaian Islands, and now popu
lated mainly by Japanese, Chinese, Ameri
cans, Europeans, and the white descendants
of the missionaries.
Comparatively few T of the Sandwichers are
left. They nearly all died. Let us hope that
they are now in glory.
