The new generation of missionaries, while no less convinced of the superiority of Christianity to the religions of the peoples to whom they minister, are just as eager to see the truth in these non-Christian religions as they are to see what is untrue. Dr. Reid's article is an illustration of this new state of mind. He does not yield a whit of allegiance to Jesus in showing some of the sympathetic points on which the Christian and the follower of Buddha can agree. |
