At the meeting of the Harvard Christian Association last night in Holden Chapel Rev. A. E. Dunning, D. D., of Boston, delivered a short address on "Some Impressions of Foreign Mission Fields."
He said the conception of missions held by most people is incorrect. The majority of peoples among whom missionaries are sent, not only are not destitute of morals, but they are to a great extent, well educated. To accomplish the object of missions, the Christianization of nations an atmosphere of Christian thought must be created; and this can only be by broad educational work. To do this work, instead of ignorant missionaries whose coarseness conflicts with the fine sensibilities of the peoples, the most intellectual men should be sent out; and until this class of men is sent out the greatest object of missions can not be obtained.
At a business meeting after the address it was decided to hold a special prayer meeting on Tuesday, November 26.
