New York Dec. ..-Wu Ting Fang. the
Chinese Minister to the United States. in an
address this morning in Carnegie Hall. un-
der the auspices of the Society for Ethical
Cultuie. made comparison between Chris
tianity and cunfuciansn, giving Instances
in which he thought mat the teachings Of
the great Chinese gage surpassed those of
th.. author Of The Sermon on the Mount.
The Christian miss i"naTy IN china and
tne aggression uf Christian nations in ihc
Orient were subjected by the Minister to
severe criticism
Wa Ting Fang outlined the tenets' of Con-
fucianism. ami argued that China had re
liGion suiiicient to hcr needs. and that mis-
sionaries wrr. in rn great demand there.
He said that the predoTninating faith OF
china i. that of Cnnfu,iUs; that TautisTh
and Buddhism were for To. dead. whii"
China had orly one great religion for ;ht
living.
