The missionary to Buddhists may find encouragement and inspiration in
the growing conviction that Oriental Christianity will definitely add
strength to the universal Church in coming days. God's kingdom will
not be complete without the peoples of Southern Asia. They are deeply
religious. It may be far from being an idle dream that God should give
to some missionary of to-day the privilege of training a St. Paul, an
Origen or an Augustine of the East, who will give to the Church other
great chapters of Christian interpretation, and a truly convincing
apologetic of the gospel to the world.
