Excerpt from The Jesuits in China and the Legation of Cardinal De Tournon an Examination of Conflicting Evidence and an Attempt at an Impartial Judgment But the controversy though thus authoritatively closed is one which is capable of being continually reopened by the exigencies of the missionary work, not only in China, but in other lands.
