A crowded audience in the Presbyterian
Church Sunday night listened to the dis
course of Rev. Paul Bagley on these coun-
tries. He went over the wars and battles
in their bearing upon Christianity and
touched upon the 8urlingame treaty, au-
thoriziDg the Chinese to worship their Gods
and devils all over our country, and thought
that while it is according to the Constitu-
tion of our country that every man should
worship God according TO the dictat.s Of
his conscience that this should not warrant
the worship of the devil.
He regarded Confucius as the great
moral philosopher of China and Buddhism
as the great religious system and the doc
trine OF the transmigration Of the soul as
the essential feature of that system. The
soul when separated from the body goes
into hog, dog, snake or anything else ii
the man has been bad !; but goes into the
body of another man if he has been good.
Heaven with them is represented by woo6''

their burning incense and offering rice to
their Gods They usually put into the con-
tribution box the smallest piece Of money
to the heather or may not. They strike a
large drum to wake up their God 80 tina,
he may come down and est his rice, and if
the God does not eat it the priest does and
that keeps the priest fat.
The number of foreign missionaries in
China is about fifty to one hundred, besides
native preachers and teachers an dlhe wives
Of the missionaries The number Of native
Christians from $4,000 to,lO0, 600, giving an
average Of ], 900 native Christians to every
foreign missionary. The Chinese milirs
respected his passport all through the En-
pire, with fes exceptions, and the people
throughout one hundred and twenty FIVE
walled towns and cities received the bibles
gladly, and the only reason that China is
not Chrislianized to-day as much as this
country is because this gospel has not been
as fully preached there.
He exhorted them to stand by the gener-
al missionary work and when the time
should come for the missionary collections
to remember his words.

The year 1878, memorable in m any other
respects, will hereafter be especially 70 ~
that in which Eogland, for the first time
during a century and quarter. appeared
az conquering power. Since the elder
Pitt acquitted for Britain, in l762, the
French colonies which were wrested from
his son twenty years later by the establish
ment of American independence, no Eng
lish Premier has achieved or sarctioned
any appropriation of foreign territory
The tremendous struggle that ushered in
the present century, although the very ex-
i.tence of Britain depended on il, added
not foot Of ground to the British domin-
ions The Afghan war Of 1Sil, the Cri-
mean war of 1875, the .byssinisn war
Of 1867, the Ashantee war Of 1874, we're all
alike waged, as the French say, ..for an
idea" But the annexation Of Cyprus, and
the preparations avovedly making at this
moment to "teize the frontier pa%es of In
dia from the Khyber to the Bolsn." are
facts which all the sugsred falsehoods Of
diplomacy cannot explain away. After
the laIse of 127 years, the reign OF arnsxa-
tion has begun again, and its great apostle
is the man who, forty-fve years ago, de-
nounced a Conservative Government, ss
"an organized hypocrisy." and Who has
since lived to make his own administration
