RELIGIOUS LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
A Protestant minister (the Rev. A. L. Crapsey) says: "It seems to many of us that we should leave the schools and other agencies of our civilisation free to do their work; and when that work is done, leave the Philippine Islands to develop their religious life naturally along the lines of their history. It is impossible that any new form of Christianity should take root in that soil. Experience teaches that the seed of the Reformation is sterile in lands that have been long under the influence of the Latin race. Our missions have been barren in Mexico and in South America; and they will be barren in the Philippines, in Cuba, and in Porto Rica."
