Synopsis
Excerpt from Christianity in China, Tartary and Thibet, Vol. 2 of 2
The people, before whose eyes the light of the Gospel had shone for a moment in all its brilliancy, soon relapsed into darkness, and wandered far from the path which leads to God, that is, to truth and life. It must be acknowledged, however, that the constant efforts of the Church to convert and civilise the Pagan nations produced results which have been perhaps too little noticed. The labours of the missionaries contributed greatly to the prodigious development of European civilisa tion, and they left in the extreme East curious recollections of the Catholic preaching.
