The reference to the persecution of
Salvation Army and Mormon people
pertinently leads US to wonder what
our people would do If they saw mis-
sionaries coming to their homes and
taking the children away to lead them
to believe that Buddha or Confucius
alone gave the whole truth concerning
the emancipation. elevation and saliva
ton of the soul.
Conversation with the learned men
of the orient leads up to the PROPOSE
ton that we must charitably consider
the people to whom a different religion
has been given. By whom was
Buddhism and Brahmanism given?
By whom was Confucius taught, and
whence came the impulses which led
Zoroaster and Mahomet to stand forth
with such strength to teach their peo-
Pile? If those men came as spirits Of
evil, surely it is strange that they
taught people how to be good and how
to worship. If they came from the
same source whence our Teacher came,
have we license to fight and oppose
them? These are problems too mighty

Observation-Disclosures. The earth is round,
not fiat. And yet, upon the theory of
the flatness of the earth, the ancient
astronomers calculated eclipses and
and returnings of comets.
Truth is difficult to obtain, that is,
the whole truth. Consequently man
kind gropes in error on many points,
sometimes for many centuries. Well
established beliefs are so well en-
]renched that even when their errors
are demonstrated people grudgingly
take the truth at its full value. There
is a race of people on earth which con-
sistently and persistently refuses to
accept the truth, as it is seen and ac-
l1nowledged by hundreds of millions
of people. Earnestly and conscien-
tiously the Jews cling to the belief that
God gave to their ancestors all of the
truths of religion which are worth
knowing, and they sincerely believe
that all inspired writings were made
by the hands of their prophets, priests
and kings.
As a matter of fact every brain is
capable of receiving inspired truth.
Inspiration came not only to the writ
,ers of the Old Testament, and to the
writers of the New Testament, but TO
many others, even unto this day and
generation. The utterances of Abra-
ham Lincoln at Gettysburg were in
spired from the same source whence
came the inspiration of the authorship
of the book of job We may as well go
back and accept the Ptolemaic theory
of the universe, and reject that of
Copernicus, as to permit ourselves to
believe that inspiration ceased when
a few men died, and that the universal
Father ceased to communicate with
His children when the sage of Patmos
was gathered unto his fathers.
Your Christian religion is good,
but it assumes that the Father loved
limited few of His children" says the
Chinese minister to this republic.
Where is there any foundation in the
history Of mankind TO warrant the
assumption that the thousands of mil
lions of human beings in the orient
were overlooked by their Creator?
They do not believe that they have
been overlooked. They know to the
contrary"

Surprising that the people of China
