MISSIONARIES-A WORLD ASSET
A certain business man has observed "Wherever the missionary works it is discovered that a community which has been a world liability has become a world asset." In China the largest printing press in Asia grew out of the Presbyterian Mission Press at Shanghai. Nanking university, a union Christian institution, conducts laboratories for experimentation in improved cotton and sericulture which have greatly increased the quality, output and demand for these products. Common American fruits, now profitable products of Japan, were introduced by a Methodist missionary. Sugar cane growing as an occupation for the natives of Natal, South Africa was introduced by a missionary. H.B. Hunnicut of the Southern Presbyterian church practically revolutionized agricultural methods in Brazil and Sam Higginbottom has done the same for part of India. The National agricultural show at Old Umtali, South Africa grew out of the industrial mission school.
