Commissions on Missions and Govern ment Makes Report to World Conference. Kdlnburg, June 20. The commix-! Blon on missions and governments concluded Its report, presented to tho world's missionary conference today, with un assertion that "tho claims of humanity and the rights of missions have been so flagrantly and continu ously violated by the government of tho Congo state (now taken over by Belgium), that an oppeal for action should be made, by the conference to all the powers which are signatories to the general act of Berlin." "We have no hesitation in asking the conference to make a decided pro nouncement upon the Congo question," the report says. "The new stiUe cnnie Into being under conditions which make the whole family of nations more directly responsible for its ex istence than Is usuully the case; they did not merely accept an accomplish ed fact, but lent an active hand to the accomplishment. This makes doubly Imperative that the conference should present u full weight of Chris tian sentiment, effectually voiced, to overcome tho natural and usually commendable Indisposition of govern ments to meddle." The commission heads tho list of lis findings with an expression of grat itudo for the large amount of mutual helpfulness found to exist between so many missions and governments. Cow cerning the right of entry for Chris tian missions the report suys: , "Inasmuch us the results of mission ury enterprises are now so evident and have extended over so long period that their general bcncllcent effect Is demonstrated, we think that it may reasonably be asked of all Christian governments that they should use their good ofllees with those of other nations for the free ad mission and exercise of missionary en deavor, where such admission is not ow granted; and further, that such terposltion may be justified, to the governments, not on grounds of religion, but upon the broad ground humanity, on account of the benefi cent Influence of missions,' and upon th common right of mankind to re- celvo such benefits." Tho report continues: "In view of the enormous Influence exercised by hristian nations over races of less evcloped civilization and lower mate rial power, we would express the earnest hopo that a growing sense of responsibility for the right use of this influence may control the actions of both governments and Individuals; nd in particular we would express our conviction that where territories peepled by such races are under the rule of Christian Powers, the prime uty of such powers is the education and development of these races. Evidence having been laid before us that In many countryle--occasionatly even In countries under the control European Powers native Chris. tlans lie under disabilities both in re gard to the exercise of their religion and In regurd to their ivil status, we would emphasize the fact that Christian teaching neiilcute respect for the civil uthorities or their own land as the duty of Christians, and would af. firm the reasonableness of granting to Christians all the protection, rights nd privileges of loyal and luw-abld Ing citizens. JVe would further urge that Christian powers should not only dopt this rule of action in all coun tries under their direct control or suh (cot to their political Influence but hould also make friendly represen tatlons on the subject to such other towers us have not removed these dis hllltien. While fully recognising the duty and right of tho civil authorities o; very country to lay such temporary restrictions and conditions on the movements and settlement both their own nationals and of foreigners within and across their borders, as are demanded in the Interests of internal order and International peace, we think it well to record our Judgmcn that it Is not wise for the civil powers to allocate areas of work to different missions, unless In conference with and with the concurrence of the mis slons concerned. We recommend to the conferoni that It bikes steps for the appointment of a committee, composed In part o International jurists of reputation, t draw up a brief statement of recog nised principle! which underlie the relations of missions to government, which statement, after having reeelv- cd the endorsement of the leading missionary societies or a reprcscnta- tito board of missions, may be pub lished for the Information both of missionaries and of government offi cials who may be In contact vlth nils. lnn work."
