CHANGED CONDITIONS IN CHINA.


Thus Chinese civilization has been weighed in the
balance of time and not found wanting. But the
conditions that have fostered that civilization have
in years been greatly modified by steam and
electricity. With the Hmalayas on the west, vast
deserts on the north and large bodies of water on
the and south. China country extremely
difficult to approach from all sides in days not
very long ago. There she was left for centuries TO
work out her destiny practically free from outside
influence and foreign moestation.
But the steamboat and telegraph have changed
the whole situation of things, and rendered it i'm
possible for her TO lead such national life she
could before. 1t has taken her some time to awake
this fact On this account she has been called an
unprogressive nation. This sentiment is voiced by
Tennyson when he says, Better fifty years of
Europe than cycle of CathaY.'
But it is mistake TO think that China has been
stationary. Compare China of the present day
with China Of Fifty years ago. and the progress
she has made will be at once apparent 1t is un-
reasona BILE to expect China to break away from
the long established sway Of custom in moment.
The inertia of centuries must first be overcome.
The meeting of the Chinese and Western civiliza-
tfons is a meeting of two social forces. We must
look for the result not in the complete neutraltza-
ton of force by the other but in the union of
the two forces, 1t is the recovery from the shock
of the collision that requires time After the union

many pressing invitations from most
of the large cities of the IAited
States to visit them, but, OWN. to
the short time they have to spead in
this country, ii will not be possible
to accept all of the invitations re-
ceived. 1t is their intention to re-
turn as soon as circumstances permit
to their own country, staying in
Europe sufficient time to carry out
their instructions, but before leaving
they have concluded to yield to the
great demand on the part of the
American people to spend a few more
days in America, and they have con-
cluded first OF all to visit baltimore,
Philadelphia, Providence and Boston
during next week. After visiting
these cities they are in hopes of be-
ing able to spare the time to extend
their visit to several cities in the mid
die states, timely notification of
which will be given to the commit
tees who have honored them with in
vitations. They express themselves
as very grateful for the many express
sions Of sympathy heard upon all
sides for the cause that is so dear to
them and they trust the fact that
they cannot visit all who wish them
to do so will in no way interfere with
the full and free expression of sym
