S FARO H FOR FAIT H
EMBASSY ONCE APPOINTED TO FIND
A BETTER RELIGION.
An Incident of Eighteen Hundred
Years Ago in
China.

Written for The Evening Star by Edgar Wuels.
Had the embassy of Emperor Wing-te,
A. D. Go. of the Ming dynasty gone 1,5oo
miles further in its journey in search of
the incarna.ed God, China would have been
one of the greatest Christian nations in the
world and all the present trouble would
have been avoided. The story of the search
for the ncarnated God and its strange
ending forms one of the most remarkable
chapters in the history of a remarkable
people. 1t is not merely that the China of
1900 years ago should seek the light, but
that in so doing it should miss the object
Of that search completely and yet stumble
across a new and better religion-that
is the most remarkable thing.
In order to properly understand the con-
ditions leading to a search for the incar-
mated God it will be necessary to go a lit
tie into the history of China of that day.
The Ming dynaS.y, which ruled then, had
brought China out of slough of despond
into which it had sunk because of the ter
ribe corruption into which the precepts
of ConfuciuS and Lao-tZe had fallen. These
two great teachers were to China what
Marcus Aurelius Antonius was to the Ro-
mans. All three taught the value of good,
the necessity of doing good and other pre-
cepts based upon the same proposition.
After the death of the Chinese philosophers
their teachings became corrupted until
ConfucianiSm became another name for
ceremonial usage, and Lao-tzeiSm, under
the name of Taoism, worship of spirits.

They Heard RumOrs.

1t was then, when China was the most
highly civilized nation, when it counted
gunpowder among its Inventions that the
Ming rulers sought to find the true religion
something more noble than Al worship of
spirits or ceremonials. While still discuss
ing the matter rumOrs spread far and near
that a new prophet-the incarnation of the
real God-had appeared in the far west.
Strange stories were whispered beneath the
breat tn of the marvellous power of the new
God-how he had raised the dead and had
performed other miracles. This eventually
reached the ears of the emperor. Calling
the literary and scientific men before him
he demanded TO know their opinions.
After long consultation it was decided to
send an embassy to the incarnated God
with rich offerings, and to ask h m to come
to China to preach the true word. So a
great caravan of richly decorated camels
was gathered, and magnificent offerings
loaded upon their backs. There were SUI
perb silks, glitterinS, precious stones, the
choicest incense, magnificent ivory carvings
and the finest products of all China. At
servants and soldiers the embassy, consist

incarnate God. On went the cavalcade

Followed n Clue.

Once there the stories of the incarnate
God became more circumstantial, and with
renewed courage the ambassadors pressed
on. At last southern India was reached
and positive clue discovered-at least, so
the embassy thought. Yes, the natives had
heard of a great prophet. He had perform
ed miracles and had disappeared in mirac-
ulouA manner, none knew whittier. He had
lived and was born on an island south of
India, across the water, which the Chinese
dreaded.
But strong as was the fear of water the
desire to accomplish their purpose was
stronger. and so, in rude boats, they set
sail for Celon. The weather favored them,
and they soon set foot on the island home of
the unknown prophet There, where the
knowledge of his existence was still fresh
in the minds of the people, where the b.
tree, or tree of knowledge, where he had
gained inspiration, was still standing, where
his personality was not yet forgotten, the
ambassadors gained their knowledge Of
Buddha, Gautama Sidartha, the all-wise
They had set out to find the incarnate
God, Christ, the Savior. and had found
Buddha. To their minds the precepts of
Buddha offered attractions far superior to
those of Confucius or \Lao-tze, and so the
return journey was begun, after leaving the
presents and offerings at Buddha's shrine
at Kusnara Then they returned home and
spread the new creed far and wide. Today
there are more than 100000 Buddhists in
China.
