The expression used by the Roman Catholic missionary for “God” (tien chu) is the common term in Buddhist books for “Indra,” or we say, “Jupiter.” Almost every page of the New Testament version used by Protestant missionaries in China, has some expression or other which would convey to the mind of the Buddhist either a perverted idea, or else one repugnant to his prejudices. Thus, it would appear that the wilfulness in refusing to understand Buddhism aright or to speak cordially concerning it, is already producing its legitimate fruit.
