REV. GEORGE L. CANDLIN.
One Of the Prominent Figures In the
Recent Parliament of Religions.

1t was on the afternoon devoted to the
discussion of foreign missionary methods
at the Parliament OF Religions that the
Rev. George Il. Candlin made his first
address. Mr.. Candlin Is a missionary
from the United States who for many
years has lived at Tientsin, West China,
where his work has been effective and
constant. He dresses in native Chinese
costume. believing that by so doing he can
get nearer the hearts OF the people Win
whom he must come in contact, better
securing their confidence, and obtaining
greater success in his work. His opinion
on these matters must be conceded TO have
great weight, for he has experience and
success for his proofs. The speaker who
preceded him had attacked missionary
met hods, and when DIR. Candlin rose to
speak there was a sparkle in his
eve that told of contradiction TO
como to those charges OF Ia
tolerance and sehshness. Tie made no
denial that there are reforms needed in
christian missions and in the charac-
ter OF work required. But he wished TO
repudiate the personal remarks made in
regard TO the missionaries in Japan,
Ceylon, and India. He declared that he
was no advocate OF forcing Western
modes OF life and social customs on the
East. He did not wish 20 Amerjcanize
or Anglicize the people OF those countries,
but neither did he want To be turned
into "A Hindu or Chinaman. "And,n
he said, 81 say this in regard TO the
countries OF India, OF Ceylon, and OF
Japan, that IL there are no true Chris
tians and no meek and lowly followers Of
the meek and lowly Jesus amongst them,
then there Is not one in Americe and
there j. not one in EOgnnd, and the
Christian world does not contain true
Christian lie then followed with sn
emphatic declaration that the real need
OF the Christian religion today is unity
between the denominations. He declared
it impossible To produce universal har-
mony from the united actions OF a
Christcndom OF religious sects wrangling
about minor points OF doctrine.
This Is the handicap against which
all missionary effort must be directed
The effort TO proselyte from other faiths
into Christianity is continually meeting
the struggles OF inquiring ones as TO why
their are SO many Christian churches and
in the maze OF doctrinal differences they
become bewildered, and remain in tho
faith OF their fathers and their countries.
On another day the same speaker read a
paper on the question OF "Religious Unity
and Missions" It was in the same line
"a bis brief address OF the first appear
ance, and awakened much interest and
wide approval. He is a strong advocate of
the substitution OF the spiritual test
for the intellectual one, OF conversion
for orthodoxy. Aud again, on the last
day OF the Parliament, he expressed his
confidence in the ultimate triumph OF
that spirit, and the belief that this great
Congress at Chicago was an important
date in the movement. These addresses
are ell included In full in "Neeley's His
tory OF the Parliament OF Religions"
