Excerpt from Protection of Native Races Against Intoxicants and Opium
Christendom, which is but an abridgment of Christ's Kingdom, is to make the law of Christ the law of the world. Our object - and the object of a book or an address is more important than its subject - is to promote that ideal by securing the active aid of all to whom these words may come, in behalf of pending and progress ing legislation, national and international, looking toward the removal of the greatest hindrance to missions, the greatest shame of Christian nations, the traffic in liquors and Opium on the frontiers Of Civilization.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides first-hand accounts from the late 19th century describing the impact missionaries and travelers witnessed as European and American merchants introduced liquor and opium to native peoples around the world. The author presents a comprehensive survey of the testimonies with the goal of educating citizens in their home countries and galvanizing them to use their democratic rights to pressure governments to ban the trade of these substances in these regions. These accounts argue that these new vices were causing widespread damage to native populations, threatening their health, destroying their communities, and harming their ability to hear and accept the message of missionaries who traveled to these shores. The author argues that Christian nations had a responsibility under God to protect these native peoples and to spread their message of salvation, and that these destructive vices were a barrier to both.
