MINISTER WI ON RELIGION


Continued from First Page.)
say that China is a Confucian country.
Throughout the length and breadth OF
the country, the merchants the schol-
ars, the school boys, would be ashamed
to enroll under any other religion than
ConfucianiSnn.
"Yet in the strictest sense of the
word. Confucianism is not religion.
1T is not a system of doctrine and wor-
shin. 1t is perhaps easier in the first
place to say what Confucianism is not,
than what 1t is.
1.-THE immortality of the soul is a
beautiful doctrine. / admit l wish it
were true and I hope it is true. But all
the reasoning Of Plato cannot make it
more than strong probability. And
all the light of modern science has not
brought us one step further. Now Con-
fucius would be called an agnostic if he
were alive to-day. There were four
things that he would not talk about
extraordinary things, feats of strength,
disorder and spiritual being.
g How are we to serve spiritual be-
ing?" he was asked, when you do
not know how to serve men, how should
you hope to serve spirits?" he replied.
Such was his guarded language in
dealing with matters connected with
the next world. Horace Greeley said
that those who discharge promptly and
faithfully their duty to those who lin
ger in the flesh, can have but little time
to peer into the affairs of those who
have passed away. Confucius was in
tensely human and practical He did
not spend time specializing as to what
will happen after DEATH
Mr.. VIZ then took up what might be
termed the affirmative features of Con-
fucian teaching. He said the teachings
may be classified under five heads. the
relations, namely, between sovereign
and subject, parent and child, elder and
younger brothers, husband ana wife,
and friend and friend Especial stress
was laid upon. the relations of parent
and child for Coneucius held that filial
piety could not but make a son faithful
in all the other relations of life.
AS illustrating the respect of China
men for age, Mr.. WI told an anecdote
of Ii Hung Chang going out of his way
some years ago to do favor for the
American consul just because he learn
ed that the consul was older than him
self. THE matter affected some Amer
lean missionaries" said Mr. WI LAS

BILE. l don't blame them, but unless
they are very discreet and behave them
selves with great tact they are always
getting into trouble

IN EAGAN'S PLACE.

! Colonel Weston, Acting Commissary
| General
That there was no cause for such a
poor showing as was made by the com
missary department under Eagan is OBJ
vious from the fact that in the Philip
pines, where conditions are really no
more difficult than those he had to face,
there is an utter absence of complaint
In answer to the argument which might
be made, that the war with Spain found
our military staff unprepared, it is
worth noting that the Pekin relief cam
paign was undertaken in response to
an equally sudden demand; yet the
commendation of the commissariat Of
our army in China comes not only from
American official resources, but from
fire en- o't.tics and from newspaper corr
respondents representing all countries.
Colonel John f. Weston, acting COM
missary general of subsistence, comes
in for the credit of all this, which he
modestly waves aside as far as he is
personally concerned, saying that the
praise is really due to his subordinates
in the field, who have splendidly vindi-
Gated his faith in them.
That is Weston's way said an old
line officer to-day. "He is an indefati-
gable worker, with buoyant temper
Which keeps him happy in spite of his
rheumatism, and young in the face of
a long career of hard service in the
field We all Lave to smile, however,
when we read that the soldiers of the
United States army, since Weston took
hold have been followed throughout the
world not only by all the necessaries,
but by lot of luxuries as well. No
man in tie army is more severe old
spartan than v eston in his ideas Of
simplicity in the military mess [ don't
mean that he would give the officers
whatever they want and cut the men
down to plain bread and meat but one
of his hobbies is the democracy of mil
ltary life and regime He would have
plain ration, furnished free to both
olAlceis ana men, the same IN KIND ana
quantity Beyond this he would supply
a feW--a very few-odds and ends, like
tobacco, which has come to be regard
ed in the army almost as much of a
necessity as food and drink, and he
would have these accessible to officers
and men on equal terms. He does not
believe that it adds to the excellence of
army discipline or sentiment to have
champagne on the officers table when
the soldiers, who stand guard at the
door motstens his meal with water"
DO his ideas make any headway?"
the speaker was asked.
i fancy not. They would be regard
ed as rather too radical to be taken up
by anyone in authority. Whoever
should attemot to put them in opera
ton would be accused Of proposing to

teal teachings of Confucius with those
of Christ. The FIVE virtues dwelt on by
the former are benevolence, righteous
ness, propriety, understanding and
truthfulness. On this phase Of the SUBJ
ject Mr.. WI quoted extensively from
the sacred writings of both religions.
He read a passage from the New Test
ament directing that evil be not resist
ed with evil, and that if man smite
you on one cheek you should turn the
| other check OF this doctrine Mr.. WI
said:
This, it seems to me, is meekness
with vengeance I am inclined to
think that no sensible man has ever
followed this injunction faithfully. A
man who will smite you on the cheek
| is a dangerous man and needs no second
invitation A man who will take your
coat is a thief and will doubtless take
your cloak, too, il he could lay his
hands on it. l perceive that the Chris
/ tians in this country are not inclined to
follow out these injunctions literally.
Confucius said: DO not quarrel with
those who offend you That is all that
good sense requires.
!
ard of excellence is too high for human
ity. There is no likelihood that many
people will follow it.. At this very mo-
ment Christian missionaries are calling
for bloodshed and vengeance and Chris
tian armies are devastating the land,
sparing neither age nor sex. There is
indeed a vast gulf between doctrine and
performance, Could you love one who
had killed your father or destroyed your
home? Confucianism does not require
such a thing. 1t enjoins that kindness
by requited with kindness and an in
jury with justice, 1t does not sanction
retaliation in a vindietive spirit, such
as, 1 regret to say, is shown by some
persons protesting to be governed by
the tenets of Christianity.
1.-THE most striking instance in which
the teachings of Confucius and of
Christ meet" said Mr.. WI, lis the gold
en- rule. Confucius puts it's negatively,
to be sure, DO not do to others what
you would not wish them to do to YOU
but any one who will follow that rule,
either way it is phrased, will be a thor
oughly good man.
"A good Christian is good Confu-
clan, and a good Confucian is a good
Christian. do not believe that heaven
is an exclusive place. The advocates of
various religions are all trying to make
a private park of it for their own adj
herents. Whatever heaven may be, I
