IN THE FAR EAST. ADDRESSES ON THE SUBJECT DELIVERED BY THE RIGHT REV. H. H./MONTGOMERY, D.D., AND EUGENE STOCK, ESQ. PUBLISHED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE TRACT COMMITTEE. LONDON: SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE, 43, QUEEN VICTORIA STREET, E.C. 1905. PREFACE. THESE lectures were given in the Hoare Memorial Hall, at the Church House, on November 29, December 6, and December 13, 1904, to members of the London Diocesan Church Reading Union, The Women's and Girls' Diocesan Association, and the Association for Missionary Study. The Bishop of London presided on December 6, and the Archdeacon of London on the 13th. We trust that in these lectures on the people of two great and independent empires there is nothing that savours of patronage. No one should be so respectful, so courteous to all, of whatever faith or colour, as the English gentleman. The more convinced he is of the truth as revealed in the Bible, the more tender he should be towards the real belief of any one whatsoever, whether barbarous or civilised; and the more willing he will be to look for graces in others which we by nature lack. May the day come speedily when all races shall have begun to bring to the Body of Christ their special contribution. East, West, North, and South, each having its place under the One Lord. H. H.
