REALLY A HUMAN BEING.
* A STORY SHOWING HOW MUCH
DEPENDS ON THE POINT OF * * VIEW. *
The story is told in China that years ago a missionary made his appearance upon a platform there, and that the native orator who introduced him closed with these words :
“When I have finished, a gentleman from the West is going to address you. He is not a foreign demon. .His appearance and his clothing may seem strange to you, but look carefully at him. He has two arms and two legs, two ears and two eyes, a nose (though a long one), and a mouth ; and I assure you his teeth are made of bone, just like yours. He is really a human being, and I hope you will regard him as such."
