It is all but impossible to place ourselves in the position of these men — to see things as they saw them. The effect is nothing less than an endea- vour to revert to a ruder type of mental structure ; to put aside our hereditary culture, and to become for the time barbarians. The distance between eastern and western thought, the interval that separates the European from the Asiatic mind, is a faint approxima- tion of the contrast between the Christianity of a Columba or Benedict, and the heath...enism of one of Early Modes of Evangelisation. Loi these wild Caledonians. The clash and conflict and mental friction incident to the process of Christianis- ing these savage tribes must, from the nature of the case, have rendered the work a tedious one. Even with all our modern appliances and Christian organisa- tions, how slowly is the work of converting the heathen carried on ; how comparatively meagre are the results of Missions to heathen lands ! One method adopted by these early Celtic Missionaries was, to go direct to the reigning chief or kingiing, preach the Gospel to him, and get him to interpose his authority for the conversion of his subjects.
