WORLD MISSIONS
A Pioneer Missionary to China
The real religion of the Chinese is
ancestor worship. So long as in-
cense smokes on the ancestral altar,
so long will Christianity find in ob-
stacles, and all the more so that its
worship is founded on the most sac-
red of human relationships and ac-
companied by the dread of the wrath
of neglected spirits. Robert Morri-
son, the pioneer of Protestant mis-
sions in China, landed in 1807 at
Canton, whose wholesale merchants
were the only recognized medium of
China's communication with the out-
side world. The spiritrin which Mor-
rison went to the attack of ;that co-
lossal fortress of heathendom was
of tons of choice anthracite coal, is
in need of a market for its produce;
Ontario, with its feady market, is in
dire need of other coal channels than
the Pennsylvania route; and Canada
with her boundless store of mineralwealth,
wealth, can ill- afford to watch the
endless outpour of sheckles from the
pockets of her citizens into the vaults
of United States coal barons. The
Governments of Alberta and Ontario
the Federal Parliament must fully
realize that a cheap rate of haulage
for Alberta anthracite is the key to
the problem, but their contributions
to that end have so far been nugatory.
Sir Henry Thornton tried to meet
their demands half -way, and his offer
was censured as exorbitant, but never-
theless the C. N. R.'s $9.00 a ton pro-
position is the only practical step, as
