The spiritual isolation of an Oriental at his prayers in any big city of the Far East is the most significant feature of this life-so alien to all the mental, moral, and religious training of the occident.
"The Critic in the Orient"
George Hamlin Fitch

"The Good Time Coming"
T. S. Arthur
Mr. Forman was incensed at this careless phrase on the Pacific liners, and he investigated the work of our missionaries when he was in the Orient, and he came to the decision that they are worth more to America, even from that selfish standpoint, than all the ambassadors that we have sent over, because they are, in their crossing and recrossing, weaving a Fabric of Friendship between the Orient and the occident; between the nations of the East and those of the West; between the white peoples and the brown peoples; in spite of the diplomatic differences and yellow newspapers in the United States and Japan.
