FAMILY OF CHINESE CONVERTS.

FAMILY OF CHINESE CONVERTS.
The Chinese government claims to be
making strenuous efforts to suppress
the Boxer insurrection, but the fact
still remains that the Burlingame trea-
ty would justify the United States to
begin hostilities without formal dec
laration of war. Instead of engaging
in war of conquest, however, our gov
eminent, acting in accordance with the
golden rule. is simply trying to protect
the lives of the American diplomatic
and consular officers and the mission
aries and their converts. To accom-
plish this four regiments of soldiers
have been dispatched to China, to be
recalled as soon as order shall have
been restored and indemnity collect
ed for the outrages already committed.
Should China refuse to comply with
the reasonable demand of the United
States it may become necessary to take
possession of strip of territory and
to conduct an active war against the
empire. A country, no more than
an individual, can afford to shirk re-
sponsibility; and should the worst
happen America will be found ready
to meet any emergency that may pre-
sent itself. .ts" .'5..s ~ %s,s' ! Il;

HOW TO DRINK WATER.
Much Of the BENEFIT Of Liquids
IL Lost Through Ignorance.

Prof. Silktom says there are few
people who thoroughly realize the
value of water as a beverage or who
know how to obtain greatest advantage
from it.. The effects produced by the
drinking Of water vary with the man
ner in which it is drunk. If, for in
stance, pint of cold water be swal-
lowed as large draught, or if it be
taken in too large portions, with a
short interval between, certain definite
results follow - effects which differ
from those which would have followed
if the same quantity were taken by
slipping. Slipping is a powerful stimu-
liant to the circulation, thing which
ordinary drinking is not:

ary Work." DR.. Baldwin declares that
for a missionary to look upon his work
as a civilizing and elevating agency for
the barbarous or semi-civilized nations
is "a low and unworthy conception OF
the work." The missionary he says,
must have in mind simply the carrying
of the Gospel, and nothing else. Civ.
ilization and elevation may come in:
cidentally, but they are no part OF the
mission work. In regard to China, the
chapter having been written, of course.
before the present outbreak, he writes:
"The great dislike for foreigners, in
the prevalent superstitions, the bitter
antagonism of the literary class, the
opium habit and other difficulties have
barred the way to Christianity, but it
is gradually overcoming these lob.

TINE OPINION most generally
s. adopted by observers Of events
~ is that the present trouble in
China originated in the hatred enter
tained by the mass Of natives for Chris
tian missionaries and their converts.
Those of our people who do not believe
in foreign missions have attempted to
defe nd the Boxers on the ground that
they are, actuated byspatriotism and
love of their own religion, and that
therefore the foreign powers, whose
soldiery is now trying torestore,order
in northern: China, are usurping. y, an
aut hority contrary to the highest in
iternational ethics: They assert fur
thermore that aside from protecting
their :, diplomatic, representatives at

: Had these critics taken the time to

State they would not be SO. loud in

Some valuable compilation of facts,
concerning this subject in general are
to be found in book by Dr:.S. Z. Bald
win, just published by Eaton & Mains,
Of New York, and entitled Foreign
Missions Of the Protestant Churches"
DR.. Baldwin has been careful student
Of missions for many years and was
secretary of the executive committee
which had in charge the recent great
3ecumenical council in New York. In
his book he discusses the nature and
scope methods and administration Of
foreign missions and then goes on to
tabuiate in historical form the origin
and work of the various foreign mis-
sionary societies. In chapter of 60
pages he gives brief account of each
Of the important foreign missionary
bodies in this nation. +
First in chronological order and one
Of the most efficient in achievements
is the American Board which is the
congregational missionary organiza-
ton. Formally installed in 1910, it
really took its rise from the historic
haystack prayer meeting"'of Williams
college students in 1906 to ask, for
guidance in the matter Of sending out
missionaries to the heather. Five COM
missioners and an audience of one per-
SON attended the opening meeting of
the American Board Of Commissioners

tied yet from that small beginning

almost all cases and fostered in many
cases the foreign missionary efforts of

convert, who, according to these ten.
cts, peaceably teaches and practices
the principles of Christianity, shall in
no case be interfered with or mo.
lested.'
Ten years later, in 1868, William II.
Seward and Arson Burlingame, acting
respectively for the United States and
China, drew up new treaty, which is
now IN force and which deals with the
missionary question in the following
words: "The Goth article of the treaty
of June is, 1858, having stipulated for
the exemption of Christian citizens OF
the United States and Chinese converts
from prosecutions in China on account
of their faith, it is further agreed that
citizens of the United States in China
of every religious persuasion and Chi,
nese subjects in the United States,
shall enjoy entire liberty of conscience
and shall be exempt from all disability
or persecution on account of their re-
ligious faith or worship in either coun-
try"
Under the provisions of this treaty
the United States is morally RESPONSE
BILE to the families of the hundreds of
converts murdered by the fanatical
Boxers to secure for them financial in
demnity and the punishment of the
assassins. When the Boxers murdered
number of German missionaries a
few years ago Emperor William con-
sidered the outrage sufficient provoca-
ton for the seizure of Kiao Chou, and
no ans ventured to criticise him for
this high-handed action. The moder-
alton displayed by the American gov
eminent in the trying circumstances
of to-day is therefore highly creditable.
