in advocacy OF his resolution for the

CHRISTIANITY DIsGRACED.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Jan. 2S.-Bish-
op Henry c. Potter, in an address to
the Yale undergraduates on the mis-
sionarr question, said:
Our policy in China has thus far
not been a happy one. The protesting
Christian engineers, capitalists, mer-
chants and bankers are responsible for
what has happened the past year If
wsre to defend any nation against
the charge of un-Christian outrages, l
would take a brief in favor Of China.
Nothing could have been more brutal
than the policies of Christian nations
in dealing with this pagan people. We
have trampled under foot everything
thh Chinese have deemed most sacred.
The railroad could have passed around
the tomb OF an ancestor or ruler but
instead we tore il down and went
through the spot where it stood. This
is but a type of the treatment we have
given the Chinese, an illustration of
what they have received in the gross
at our hands, and detail as well.
II was travelling in Ceylon some time
ago and happened to ask an English
speaking stranger the direction to the
steamship office. l was being carried
BY jinricksha man and dismissed him,
asking what his charges were. He an
swered Two annas.' You scoundrel"
yelled the English-speaking man, whose
business il certainly was not at all,
the charge is only one anna Thereup-
on he knocked the jinricksha man
down. That is the sort of way Chris
endom serves the pagan nation today
"As far as the American missIonar-
les in China are concerned they have
been the heroes Of the situation. They
went to China not to get but to give,
and their efforts have been rewarded
by making peace where it has been
made. There can be no settlement OF
the Chinese question as long as we so
to that country in the spirit of greed
and until the white man learns to re-
spect the brown, black and yellow man.

cnEIsrlANITY CHECKED

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-George Lynch,
an English war correspondent who has
arrived Eerc on his way 10 England
after having gone through the distur-
Dances ia China. said Of the atroci-
ules committed by the allied soldiers
from which the American. japanese
and English troops were excepted:
ANY thoughtful person who has been
in Pekin with the allies cannot but
speculate as to what effect this vista
lion Will have on the people Of China.
1t Is LUMINOSITY evident to ny mind
that for generations TO come the prog
ress Of Christianity in China Is abso-
lutey killed. In China the faith was
practically making no real progress,
but what little progress 1t has made
among the lower classes and the des-
titute coolies. who form the bulk Of the
so-called converts, is now utterly wiped
out. 1t will be generations before the
recollection Of the latest crusade is
erased from the memory OF the Chinese
people"

MONUMENT TO VICTORIA.

NEW YORK. Jan. ga dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
A movement, which is, however, en-
tirely without official encouragement,
is on foot to erect a great monument
to Queen Victoria in London. Already
a sign comes from India that such
proposal would be likely to meet the
spontaneous wishes of the subjects Of
the crown in far-away climes.
The suggestion that May "a, the
queens birthday, shall be kept forever
as a public holiday also finds favor.
This Is all the more desirable, as King
Edwards birthday falls on November 4
period of the year wholly unpropit-
ious to the enjoyment Of brilliant pag-
cantry, such as that of troOplng OF
the colors, which is undoubtedly the
prettiest display of the season. !.
