A CHINESE EDICT OF FIFTY YEARS AGO.
TERRAIN BOARD OF FOREIGN MISSIONS
PRIVILEGES GIVEN TO FOREIGNERS
In the archives Of the Presbyterian Board OF
Foreign Missions there has just been found an ed't
promulgated by the Emperor Of China more than
half a century ago-it is dated 1si4-wth relation
TO the treatment to be accorded all those within
the domains OF the Chinese Empire who proiessed
the religion OF the Lord OF Heaven. The edict
was called forth by disturbances which had arisen
through misbehavior Of the French cathohc
missionaries and in the course OF which many OF
the innocent had suffered at the hands OF the ma
tves.
The edict in the form Of a memorial OF
Keting. Imperial Commissioner and Niceroy OF the
Canton and Kwang-Sc provinces to the Emperor
the text in part being follows: at appears that
the religion Of the Lord OF Heaven is honored and
observed by the various nations OF Europe. mainly
with the view Of exhorting to the practice OF virtue
and depressing vice. Ever since the Ming dynasty
1t has made its way into China, and has not yet
been prob bted; but because some OF the adherents
OF that religion in China have repeatedly made a
handle of their religion act viciousiy. therefore
the officers OF the Government discovering the
same. have punished them, is on record Dur
ing the reign OF the Emperor Keeling II was hrst
determined to distinguish these and punish them
for their offences. the sole object OF which rcgula-
ton was to prevent the professors Of said religion
in China from practising wickedness. and not with
IA. of prohibitions
