Excerpt from Observations in Asia
In the winter of 1899-1900 Bishop Potter made a trip around the world with the object of visiting India. He took occasion also to look up matters connected with the Episcopal Church in the Pacific and in Asia, being a member of a Commission on the Relation of the Protestant Episcopal Church to our New Possessions. He invited me to accompany him as honorary secretary to the Commission.
We both received memorable impressions. Bishop Potter had become somewhat dubious of the methods and results of missionary work in Asia. What he saw restored his high opinion of missionaries and their accomplishment.
Bishop Potter, too, started for his steamer a strong anti-imperialist - indeed, he stopped on his way at a church congress to express, publicly, his opposition to the administration's Philippine Policy.
