l have read the history of

and the account there given of
prosecutions caused by difference
in religious belief has filled me
with horror. We have no such
records in China. Jews, Moham-

there peaceably side by side. 1t
is only when indiscreet Christia /
missionaries go to extremes and
excite the people that they ever
have any trouble. They say:
ooh, you Confucians! You are
all wrong. You worship idols.
Tear them down. This is idle,
and does not appear consistent,
for they know that all Roman
Catholics have idols in some
shape in their churches. The
missionaries should GO about
their work more quietly if they
hope for success. No one ever
heard of the Chinese rising
against the Mohammedans, al
though Mohammed was a con-

1t seems to me that Christians
often forget that Jesus Christ

some Western people are not
