Each conflict in which China has en-
gagged has resulted in a loss OF terri
tory. The principal cessions made by
the MOngOl government the price of
peace have been the following: The
island of Formosa was coded to Japan
in 1895, after the war with China. In
1897 Germany seized the port of Kiou-
Chou the east coast of the Shan
tung peninsula, her excuse for so doing
being a massacre of missionaries
which had taken place there Two
months later she received from China
a ninety-nIne year lease of the port
and district In 1898 Russia obtained
from China a twenty-fve-year lease
OF Port Arthur, Talienwan and their
adjacent territories and waters The
lease can be extended by mutual
agreem ent. The same year the Chi
nese government gave permission for
Great Britain to occupy Wei-Hai-We Ell
for as long a period as Russia shall
hold Port Arthur. To compensate
France for the concessions given to
Great Britain and Russia a ninety
nine-year lease was given her of the
bay of Wan. the
coast opposite the island of Hainan,
and last year two islands at the en-
trance Of the bay were definitely coded

patterned after and to embody the
noble traits of some man who has
lived in the past. Confucianism Is
now well understood and both Bud
dhism and Taoism have been so thor
ough1y explored that it is hard to be-
lteve that anything of Importance re-
1ating thereto is to be discovered At
least one more book upon this topic,
however, remains to be compiled
namely, a Chinese NEUROLOGICAL die
tionary- Such work should contain
account of all the principal divini-
ties actually worshiped by the Chinese,
with authentic details of such are
historical, together with record of
the steps by which many of them have
been promoted in the Chinese pan
theon until, like Kuan-Ti the god OF
war, from very humble beginnings
they have become ttadJuvant of
heaven The number of these divin-
tiles is very large and includes many
that have been continuously worshiped
for over 900 years. Whether the
Chinese have ever at any time in their
long history had perception or con-
ception of one true God, Father and
Creator of all things is question
that has been long and 1earnedly dis
cussed by scholarly students of their
classical writings 1t is still an open
question. But there is doubt at all
that for many centuries past they have
worshiped the sun, the moon, the
stars ana most or ancestral delleS-
All the gods of China may be said to
have been dead men, and, by the right
of ancestral worship, it may be
affirmed that in a sense all the dead
men of China are gods. Temples are
constantly erected, by the consent of
the emperor to men who while living,
have in various ways distinguish ed
themselves. 1t is impossible to say
that any one of these men may not. in
the slow evolution of ages, rise to the
highest place among the national di-
whites. There can, therefore, be no
doubt whatever that a nation the
Chinese are po1ytheistic.

Similar in some respects to the cele-
bratiOn of Christmas in Christian
countries is the observance of the
devils birthday in China On this an

In sending the kitchen god to heaven
every year, the Chinese housekeeper
has to burn it and let the fumes as
cend. 1t reports on the good deeds of
the family for the year and brings
good luck. Before burning it the
housewife dips her finger in a jar OF
molasses and smears the upper and
lower lip of the idol, SO that when he
arrives at the pearly city he may tell
a sweet tale on the family and thus in
sure benedictions. A family when
gambling, will cover the eyes of the
idol until the card playing is through.

The Religion of China.


Buddhism is the principal religious
t-aith of the Chinese Long this
religion has existed, it is little under
stood by Americans It's founder,
B1ddha was born 623 years before the
Christian era. His theory of deity
embraced a trinity. known as the
Three Precious Ones The moral code
of the religion contains ten prohibit
fions-killing, stealing, lying. selling
wine, charging interest on loans,
speaking false of others, se1f-praise
and back-bittng, parsimony and scot
hng, uncorrected anger and revi1ing
the Three Precious Ones.
The Buddhist church in Thibet has
its pope, its cardinals, it's bishops,
priests and nuns, exactly as has the
Roman Catholic church. And more,
it has infant baptism. confirmation,
candles, sacred water and professions.
The teachings of Buddha were re-
duced to writing SO B. G. The entire
canon of the faith was compiled in
A D. 400. In this Buddha is described
as coming from heaven, being born OF
a virgin, welcomed by angels re-
ceiyed by old saint, presented in a
temple, baptized with water and later
by fire. He is described as astonish-
ing the doctors with his understand
ing, was later led into a wilderness
where he was tempted by the devil
and thereafter he went about doing
friend to the poor.
It seems doubtful when Buddhism
was introduced into China. 1t is re-
corded, however. that in the year So
A D. the emperor, Han-Ming-Ti, had
a vision wherein he saw a great gold
en- image around whose head was a
halo. and it was believed it meant
truth. The emperor's brother, Prince
Tsu, having heard of Buddhism from
india, said the vision was nothing but
the great Buddha. A mission was sent
forth, which returned after some years
bringing back a wooden image, a
counterpart of the golden one, one
book and a Hindu priest.
The great temple at Pekin, called
the Yung-HO-Kung. the Lama
temple, is a Mongol Buddhist monas-
terry, in which there are some 1900
acting priests. Here the dogmas of
Buddhism are taught under the con-
troll of a Gagan, or living Buddha-

ties, astrology and medicine.
