A CONFUCIANIST, A JEW AND A
RTSHOP

WI Ting-fang, the Chinese Minister
to the United States, speaking before
the Society Of E hical Culture on Sun
day on the Teachings of Coufucius,'
expressed the opinion that "the world
is drifting unconsciously toward Con.
fucianism," under tho impulse OF "lhe
spirit OF aguosticism fostered by
science
He had previously explained that
Confucianism is not religion, for re-
ligion sis based on everlasting life"
and Confncius did not undertake 10 90
beyond this life and peer into the
mystery OF the future. Confucius
made no promise of heavenly reward
and nc threat OF internal pun
lshment, but taught, "Do good for
the sake OF doing good; happiness is
the effect OF goodness and the reward
for It," His was a system of philoso
ply and practical ethics for this life
only.
Very much the same idea was ex.
pressed by Rabbi Hirsch, of Chicago, at
the temple Beth FL, in Fifth avenue. at
about the same hour of the same day,
only it was Judaism in which be found
"the elements of the undogmatic re-
ligion for which the world is craving,
the focus of which is not solely the
next life, but this life 10 which we are
now living"
Bishop Potter, preaching on Sunday
evening" at the All Angels Church,
in West End avenue, recognize! d
the Intellectual drift to which the
Confucian and the Hebrew had
referred, by saying that since "the
Church of God ministers today to an
average understanding 10 Christ ndou
which is distinctly higher than that OF
even fifty years ago it has right to
demand of any man who enters her
ministry a fuller mental equipment
than that which many, / blush to cay,
bring to her SERVICE As particular
illustration OF defective knowledge he
referred to inability ito pronounce a
proper name from the Scriptures ac-
oordipg to its classical Derivation"

need to justify them by speaking
and writing like educated men;
but actually, in more serious
matters than the use OF "a false quaint.
ty in the pronunciation OF proper
name from the Scriptures" to the an
noyance OF cultivated critics "who sit
under their preaching" they are
sometimes previously at fault. They
write carelessly and loosely, relying on
the solemn and imposing accessories of
of the pulpit or on their manner OF
delivery to hide the defects.
