enthusiasm, as, for instance, that of the French missionaries
we had met in Northern Manchuria; but it may be quite as
effective, and for the immediate object, that of gaining access
to the higher classes, it is probably much better suited. The
medical part of the mission, especially, is eminently practical,
and likely to be appreciated by the people. As we ourselves
saw, high Chinese officials did make use of the services of
Dr. Christie, and, though it cannot be expected that, because
a man is cured of an illness, he should straightway become a
Christian, it is evidently an advantage to both the Chinaman
and the missionary that they should have had the oppor-
tunity of coming in contact with one another. Something
of the strong earnest character of the medical missionary
must be reflected on to the Chinaman, and the missionary on
his side will have been able to learn something of the prejudices
and difficulties of the educated classes of the Chinese.
We could only spare one full day's halt at Mukden, and
we then pushed on to Newchwang, where we arrived on
December 19, just seven months after we had left it. Here
Mr. James lodged with Mr. Allen, the consul, while I was
most hospitably entertained by Mr. Edgar, the commissioner
of Chinese customs. It is a well-authenticated and pleasing
fact that wherever you meet Englishmen on the borders of
civilization, even though you may be utter strangers to them,
you will be treated as if you were their most intimate, life-
long friend. This happens all over the world, and it is an
unmistakable proof that the true feeling of men towards
each other is one of good-will. Men are at heart sociable
and anxious to know each other and attach themselves to
one another, and the coldness and restraint of intercourse in
civilized parts is merely the product of civilization—an out-
ward veneer only—covering the real warmth of heart which
every man has, and which immediately becomes apparent
when he leaves the centres of civilization.
