Excerpt from Latin America: The Pagans the Papists the Patriots the Protestants and the Present Problem Under the title The Religious Development and Need of Latin America, with a Comparison of Roman Catholic and Protestant Missions the following lectures were delivered, in October of 1900, as The Students' Lectures on Missions at the Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Prince ton, N. J., and later at Auburn and at Western Theological Seminary. In the present title the term papist is not used in a disparaging sense. It is meant simply to designate the upholders of the Papacy, against whose doctrines and pretensions the protestant enters a solemn protest. The purpose of these lectures is to awaken an interest in Mexico, Central and South America as mission fields. Indebtedness to many mission aries as well as to early writers and historians is gratefully acknowledged. The writer can hardly claim originality even for the method of treat ment. He has, however, tried to set forth in these pages that conception of the problem which has come to him during sixteen years of service in, Mexico as a missionary of the Presbyterian Church.
