Said Mrs Buck: "I suppose, next to the Chinese among whom I have lived, there is no group of people whom I know better than I do the missionary. . . . I have heard him criticized in the bitterest terms and I have sometimes agreed with that criticism. I have seen the missionary narrow, uncharitable, unappreciative, ignorant . . . I can never have done with my apologies to the Chinese people that in the name of a gentle Christ we have sent such people to them. . . . "I came to see what...
