phlets loaded to the muzzle with the
most dreadful and obscene charges
against the Christian religion and it's
teachers This vile trash lis scattered
broadcast among all classes of people.
have one of these PAM hlets now be-
fore me. and I would not dare to re-
peat the unspeaka Bile denominations with
which It reezs. One Of the beliefs pr0pa-
gated ia these venom0us books IS that
tho missionaries obtain and murder Chi
nese children to obtain the eyebaEs and
the hearts. which are made into drugsof
great value in the cure of disease. and
that these specifics are sent to Europe
and America. where they are sold at a
great price. Another use for the eyes of
Cinnamon IS ascribed to their value in
the process of alchemy. Apropos of this
/ viii quote one Of the least offensive of
the passages in this Hupah pamphlet.
"The reason for extracting the eyes is
this. From 100 pounds Of Chinese lead
can be extracted 8 pounds of silver, and
the remaining % pounds Of lead can be
sold at the original cost. for tine only
way to obtain this silver IS by compound
ing the lead with the eyes Of Cinnamon.
The eyes Of foreigners are Of no use for
this purpose; hence they do not take out
those of their own people. but only those
of Chinese. The method by which this
silver IS obtained has never been discov-
cred by any of the native Christians dur
ing the long period in which this religion
has been propagated here.
VIII venture to quote another pas
sage as showing family the animus of
these Chinese incendlarias.
s.The worst of all Is that they (the mis-
sionarles) are able to impart a magical
power to water. to send abroad charms
on the wings Of the wind and to take
captive THE spirits of living persons for
The purpose OF licentousness. They also,
women and placing them under the bed
mat. acquire thH power to compel their
presence. They take the horoscope of
and utter lamentations over it, and iu
this way they gain possession Of their
spirits To use as famihars- Many acquire
This art is means of spiriting articles
and stealing money. This they call re-
possessing themselves OF their wealth.
BY such charges and others to which
the foregoing are as spring water TO s
cesspoo1. the Chinese mind IS being fired.
The feeling IN Hupeh especially is
such. if the most recent news may be
trusted, AS to make q series of massacres
highly probable at any moment ia the

ment, knowing perfectly well the dan
ger. takes no measures to prevent am

The Methods by which the +Ce1estials''
Are 1n1arled to Missionary massacre.
SHANGHAI. Jan. 24.-It is not easy for
the western mind to grasp the attitude
Ofthe Chinese people to the outside world.
Much has been said of late years about
The adoption of the European arts and
sciences, the building of railways. arsen-
ais and dockyards. the establishment Of
the telegraph. the erection of cotton
and wooden factories, and of blast fur
naces. and rolling mills, etc. These
things are only scratches on the surface.
They are the work of q few progressive
statesmen, the chief of whom IS III Hung
Chang. the viceroy of Chilli, the metro
politan province. Whether or not they
are at heart in sympathy with western
ideas they are willing to appropriate the
advantages of western science and knOwl-
edge to build up the strength of China.
But the Chinese character in its solid
rnass-A00 900 600 people thick-is today
as savage and intolerant in its hate of
the foreign devils as It was before the
first treaty port was opened.
This hate is specially signalzed in the
FREQUENT cutbursts against the mission
aries. whom the Chinese regard as the
most powerful agents ia the propagation
Of western ideas They are not detested
merely as religious teachers, but as dam
gerous vehicles of that civilization which
the Celestials so profoundly scorn.
Though the Chinese government has just
ordered the payment of a large indemnity
$40, 000) to the families Of the two Swe-
dish missionaries murdered last spring
and the capital punishment of the crini-
nails Hupeh, the province where it oc-
CURED. and the adjoining province, HO-
nan, are already boiling over with ma
hgnant passion which is likely to result
in still more brutal 0utrages. Fiery
placards have been every where posted
calling ON the populace to arise and to
sweep the foreign verlnin from existence.
Chang Chi Tung, the viceroy Of the
two provinces, to whose skirts have
chung for tbe last 90 years some of the
most bloody memorials of Chinese hate
of the foreigner and the bitter opponent
at Picking of the policy of Ii Tung
Chang. is said to have sworn to uproot
every trace Of missionary teaching from
his vice royalty.
Hupeh and Honan have always been
the h0tbed of Chinese fanaticism. These
interior provinces, away from the sea-
board and less permeated by the iufiu-
ences of commerce, are governed by
mandarins and literati from the highest
to the lowest station whose cry is death
TO the foreigner, specially to the mis-
si0narv. The most extraordinary means
are taken to feed the fury Of the masses
of the people. One wealthy mandarin
devotes a large portion Of his income to
the preparation and printing Of pam

The new church is the outcome OF a
conference Of liberal ministers and rab-
bis held in Chicago in August last. a few
weeks before the meeting of the great
parliament Of religions. Many Of the
prominent cities of the country were rep
resented at the conference, and it is
hoped soon to have congregations organ
lied on the same plan in other cities.
Rev. Jenlzin Lloyd Jones, who preached
the FIRST sermon for the new church. was
one of the most enthusiastic members of
the conference. and the plan of organiza-
tion there formulated was substantially
the same as that of the All Souls Uni-
tartan church Of Chicago. of which he is
pastor. Mr.. Jones is by birth a Welsh
man. but is thoroughly American in
training and education, having come to
the United States when but year old.
