402 THE LAND OF THE LION 
Waganda, was largely owing to the introduction into that 
country of the age-long feud between Roman Catholic 
and Protestant. One Christianity the Waganda and their 
king could understand. It was the religion of the all- 
powerful white man, and might be expected to do for 
them what it had accomplished for these. But white man 
attacking white man, Christian denouncing Christian, was 
something astounding and inconceivable. A simple, under- 
standable Christianity they were ready to heed and accept; 
but how could they, their chiefs, or their king, decide 
between two religions, both claiming to be the real religion 
of Christ, the advocates of which were at each other’s 
throats. They naturally rejected both, and the whole land 
came near falling into anarchy. 
It must be apparent to anyone that such divisions are 
a prime cause of our failure as missionaries. But the full 
extent of this evil of division can be evident to no one who 
has not seen its results in heathen lands. The Christianity 
of Western Europe cannot succeed as a missionary religion 
till it is truly catholic. If it is to be a true world-religion, 
it must go to the world as a world-religion, and not as an 
‘‘ism.””? Not as Roman Catholic, Protestant, or Greek, 
but as Christian. The present situation in the mission 
field the whole world over is ridiculous, deplorable, and 
pathetic. Instead of an organized army fighting against 
evil and ignorance, regiment supporting regiment, corps 
aiding and acting with corps, all obeying a plan of cam- 
paign, we have thousands of unrelated, undisciplined 
squads and companies, guerrillas and volunteers, acknowl- 
edging no leader, with no plan of action, powerless against 
the enemy, and often bitterly hostile (as in the case of 
Uganda) to each other. 
The Uganda missionaries are not to be specially blamed. 
They proved themselves a noble band of men. They were 
but the victims of our system. The wave of a national
