LECTURE By TIE REV. DIR. MARTIN.

The Rev. w. A. P. Martin, d. D., Professor in
tho Imperial College at Pekin, last oyen.ng gave
description before the American Geographical and Sta
tisca Society at their rooms in Cooper Institute of his
recent visit to ancient Jewish colony In tho province
OF Honan in China and also to the tomb OF Confucius
This jewish colony had migrated to China from India
between 1000 and 1000 years ago. Occasional stories
Of its existence and condition had reached
the outer world from time to time, but
for moro than hundred years prior to
Dr. Martins visit direct intelligence had been re-
ceiyed from It, When DIR. Martin first reached Hong
Kong he found the director OF the chief hospital there to
be man Of the Israetsh faith, and he urged him to
place himself In communication with this colony. The
director replied that 10 was impossible TO do
count OF the great distance intervening and the absolute
absece Of any Of communication. Subsequently
province in which the colony situated, and while
here he determined to make an effort to reach
the vehicle Of the country and the distance Of
40 miles required Is days for It's accomplishment on
reaching the town OF which he in search he found IL
almost III ruins, and presenting dolefu aspect. The
once stately temple was rum, and at first 1t was I'm.
residents Of the colony among tho Chinese who now
inhabited the place. BY dilgent inquiry, DIR. Martin
St to- be Of T the c
Jewish families They related sad story Of misfortune
the last hundred years have broken out at intervals had
borne heavily upon the colony Their crops had been
become almost annhilated. Their last Rabbi had died
some twelve years before DR.: Martins VISIT and with
him had persisted the knowledge OF their native tongue
Their temple had fallen into ruin and there were none to
rebuild It, They still preserved few books or their
faith but could read them, and the few remain
ing members Of the colony were almost entirely
assmilaed to the native population which surrounded
them. DIR. Martin described the tomb OF Confucus,
which is situated in the Province OF shanIung ana Is
Chinese people He described the three forms ofregon
between which the people divided, rather which
combined TO form the faith OF the Chinese people
buddhism COnfuciusism. and Tansm, all OF which have
their distinct places Of worship and officiating priests
but which the common people almost universally COM
bine In their Creeds and practice The lecture room was
crowded, and the audience seemed deeply interested In
DR.. Martins descriptions.
