Buddhist ana Conrucian Reyiyals.

The Pail Mall Gazette, of July 10Th,
says "Ihe efforts OF Christian mission,
aries in China have, the Celestial Empire
says, had one very curious and, we may
be sure, unexpected result. They have
inspired native theologians with a SINH.
lar idea of pr%opagandism. In the south,
we are assured, priests have adopted the
same means OF spreading the doctrines of
their creeds as the missionaries, and pros
elytRing agencies have been formed,
principally among the Buddhists, num-
bers OF whose clergy seem to have insti.
tuted a sort Of revival movement. Thev
preach at wayside temples and about the
streets, and it is said that the practice
has even spread to the ranks of Con-
t%ucianists, Certain it is that a verv
active Buddhist mission has been estab.
lished in Shanghai, and that it is work
ing vigorously. Preaching is carried on
daily at the japanese temple, in the
Peking road, and, as we know, the scope
of their operations is being rapidly en-.
larged, while Contucian preachers may be
seen, though not in Shanghai, standing
in open places and at street corners, ex.
pounding the doctrines OF the Chung
yung and the Tahsioh with all the fery6r
of a foreign missionary. OF course, Bud.
dhism is one Of the missionary religions
of the world, while Confucianism il as
certainly not but the fact as concerns
both is very remarkable, and deserves a
passing word.
