Colossians, Epistle to the Was written by Paul at Rome during his first imprisonment there (Acts 28:16, 30), probably in the spring of A.D. 57, or, as some think, 62, and soon after he had written his Epistle to the Ephesians. Like some of his other epistles (e.g., those to Corinth), this seems to have been written in consequence of information which had somehow been conveyed to him of the internal state of the church there (Col. 1:4-8). Its object was to counteract false teaching. A large part of it is directed against certain speculatists who attempted to combine the doctrines of Oriental mysticism and asceticism with Christianity, thereby promising the disciples the enjoyment of a higher spiritual life and a deeper insight into the world of spirits. Paul argues against such teaching, showing that in Christ Jesus they had all things. He sets forth the majesty of his redemption. The mention of the "new moon" and "sabbath days" (2:16) shows also that there were here Judaizing teachers who sought to draw away the disciples from the simplicity of the gospel.
Like most of Paul's epistles, this consists of two parts, a doctrinal and a practical.
(1.) The doctrinal part comprises the first two chapters. His main theme is developed in chapter 2. He warns them against being drawn away from Him in whom dwelt all the fulness of the Godhead, and who was the head of all spiritual powers. Christ was the head of the body of which they were members; and if they were truly united to him, what needed they more?
(2.) The practical part of the epistle (3-4) enforces various duties naturally flowing from the doctrines expounded. They are exhorted to mind things that are above (3:1-4), to mortify every evil principle of their nature, and to put on the new man (3:5-14). Many special duties of the Christian life are also insisted upon as the fitting evidence of the Christian character. Tychicus was the bearer of the letter, as he was also of that to the Ephesians and to Philemon, and he would tell them of the state of the apostle (4:7-9). After friendly greetings (10-14), he bids them interchange this letter with that he had sent to the neighbouring church of Laodicea. He then closes this brief but striking epistle with his usual autograph salutation. There is a remarkable resemblance between this epistle and that to the Ephesians (q.v.). The genuineness of this epistle has not been called in question.

​TU Yüeh 杜越 (T. 君異, H. 紫峯, 文定先生), Dec. 12, 1596–1682, Jan. 4, scholar and calligrapher, was born in the village of Tung-chiang, a district of Ting-hsing, Hopei. His father, Tu Chien 杜鑑 (T. 衡宇), was a military chü-jên of 1609. Tu Yüeh studied under his townsman, Lu Shan-chi (see under Sun Ch'i-fêng). As a student he was distinguished for his genius and was given by his teacher the appellation Chün-i 君異, "exceptional person." During the imprisonment of Wei Ta-chung, Tso Kuang-tou (for both see under Yang Lien) and Chou Shun-ch'ang 周順昌 (T. 景文, H. 蓼洲, 1584–1626)—who were held on false charges by Wei Chung-hsien [q. v.]—Tu and his life-long friend, Sun Ch'i-fêng, collected money among friends in order to save their lives. At the risk of his own life he hid Wei Ta-chung's son, Wei Hsüeh-i 魏學伊 (T. 子敬), and Chou Shun-ch'ang's close friend, Chu Tsu-wên 朱祖文 (T. 完夫, H. 三復居士), in his home, until the danger was past. This act of courage brought him nation-wide fame. After the change of dynasty, he lived in seclusion and taught in the neighboring district of Hsin-an. He was recommended to take the po-hsüeh hung-tz'ŭ examination of 1679, but on his way to Peking he met Fu Shan [q. v.] and like the latter declined to participate in the examination, giving as his reason excessive age. He was permitted to return home with the honorary title of Secretary of the Grand Secretariat. His collected works, entitled 紫峯集 Tzŭ-fêng chi, in 14 chüan, containing his poems and essays, were compiled by his student, Yang Chan 楊湛.

# Eminent Chinese of the Ch'ing Period/Tsou Jung

Layout 2
​TSOU Jung 鄒容 (T. 威丹), 1885–1905, Apr. 3, anti-Manchu writer, was a native of Pa-hsien (Chungking), Szechwan. His father was a merchant. In 1901 he was sent to Shanghai, and a year later to Japan, to study. He adopted whole-heartedly the revolutionary ideas prevalent among the Chinese students in that country (see under Ch'iu Chin). When he had been in Japan about a year he set forth his ideas of revolt from the Manchu regime in a work, entitled 革命軍 Ko-ming chün ("The Revolutionary Army"). After he had led a group of students in an attack on the official sent by the Peking Government to supervise Chinese students in Japan, he fled to Shanghai where a bookseller published the Ko-ming chün for him.
Meanwhile Tsou made the acquaintance of other revolutionists, including Chang Ping-lin (see under Sun I-jang), then a contributor to the Shanghai newspaper, 蘇報 Su-pao. On May 31, 1903, Chang wrote an editorial attacking Kang Yu-wei (see under T'an Ssŭ-t'ung) and his faction for favoring a constitutional monarchy under the Manchu Emperor, Tsai-t'ien [q. v.]. In this article Chang referred to Tsai-t'ien by name and described him as hsiao-ch'ou 小醜, a "low wretch". Nine days later a favorable review of the Ko-ming chün appeared. These articles so aroused the Ch'ing government that a telegram was sent to the Shanghai authorities ordering them to arrest Chang, Tsou, and four other men, and to suppress the paper. Chang was arrested in the International Settlement and Tsou Jung, who was not found at once, later gave himself up. The trial by a mixed court was unsatisfactory to the Ch'ing government, which wanted to have the prisoners extradited. The request might have been approved, but while the foreign diplomats in Shanghai were debating the matter, Shên Chin 沈藎 (T. 禹希, H. 克誠, d. 1903), a newspaper reporter and a former colleague of Tang Ts'ai-ch'ang (see under Chang Chih-tung), was beaten to death in Peking by order of the government. This shocked the diplomats and influenced their decision to hold the prisoners in the Foreign Settlement. In 1904 Chang was sentenced to three years of hard labor and Tsou to two years. Tsou died in prison one month before his term was up, having reached only the age of twenty. Chang Ping-lin, however, served out his term and was released, but continued his revolutionary activities. In time he became a scholar of high repute.
Tsou Jung's Ko-ming chün is one of the important documents in the Chinese revolt against the Manchus. In it the youthful leader advocated the overthrow of the Manchu dynasty and the monarchy, and the establishment of a Chinese Republic. He rebuked Tsêng Kuo-fan, Tso Tsung-t'ang and Li Hung-chang [qq. v.] for their support of the Manchus in suppressing the Taiping Rebellion, and urged his countrymen to realize their status as slaves under alien rulers. The revolution that Tsou worked for took place in 1911, only six years after his death.

THE BLACK LAKE
In a land where weirdness and mystery had strongly leagued themselves with eternal desolation, the lake was out-poured at an undiscoverable date of elder aeons, to fill some fathomless gulf far down amid the shadows of snowless, volcanic mountains. No eye, not even the sun's, when he stared vertically upon it for a few hours at midday, seemed able to divine its depths of sullen blackness and unrippled silence. It was for this reason that I found a so singular pleasure in frequently contemplating the strange lake. Sitting for I knew not how long on its bleak basaltic shores, where grew but a few fleshly red orchids, bent above the waters like open and thirsty mouths, I would peer with countless fantastic conjectures and shadowy imaginings, into the alluring mystery of its unknown and inexplorable gulf.
It was at an hour of morning before the sun had surmounted the rough and broken rim of the summits, when I first came, and clomb down through the shadows which filled like some subtler fluid the volcanic basin. Seen at the bottom of that stirless tincture of air and twilight, the lake seemed as dregs of darkness.
Peering for the first time, after the deep and difficult descent, into the so dull and leaden waters, I was at length aware of certain small and scattered gleams of silver, apparently far beneath the surface. And fancying them the metal in some mysterious ledge, or the glints of long-sunken treasure, I bent closer in my eagerness, and finally perceived that what I saw was but the reflection of the stars, which, tho the day was full upon the mountains and the lands without, were yet visible in the depth and darkness of that enshadowed place.

See also Dera Ismail Khan on Wikipedia; Dera Ismail Khan on Wikipedia, Dera Ismail Khan in the 11th edition; and the disclaimer.
​DERÁ ISMÁIL KHÁN, a district of British India in the Derajat division of the lieutenant-governorship of the Punjab, is situated between 30 35 30" and 32 33 0" N. lat., and 70 15 0" and 72 3 20" E. long. It is bounded on the N. by the district of Bannu, on the E. by Shahpur and Jhang, on the S. by Muzaffargarh and Dera Ghdzi Khan, and on the W. by the Sulaiman hills, which mark the frontier. The district is divided into two almost equal portions by the Indus, which intersects it from north to south, and is the only river of any importance. To the west of the Indus, the characteristics of the country resemble those of Derd Ghazi Khan.
