Hdoice from a cbinaman.

WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minis
ter, in the course OF an address upon
Confueius and Meneius In Philadelphia
on Sunday improved the occasion by
reply to some criticisms that have
been made by clergymen OF the Christ
ian faith upon his recent comparison
OF Christianity and Confucianism. His
reply to their structures was not only
in excellent temper but 1t contained
many wise suggestions which men OF
all religious beliefs would do we'll to
heed.
In making the comparison between
Confucianism and Christianity the
Chinese minister particularly dis aim
ed any intention to disparage the lat
ter. He does not think 1t any more
discreditable that all Christians do not
live up to the doctrine OF Christianity
than that all Confucians do not obey
the precepts OF Confucius, nor can he
understand why some clergymen
should resent any attempt to compare
Christianity with other systems Of be-
lief when they do not scrupIe to at
tack other religions. WI Ting Fang
recognizes all that Ia good In all sys-
TENS, and from this high-mlnded
standpoint does not think that "the
noble and sublime teachings OF Christi
anity need fear criticism, much less
comparison" To this extent WI Ting
Fang stands for the good Of humanity.
He believes that all religions teach
men to be good, and that II every man
would live up to the doctrines Of his
religion 1t would be better world
and men would live in brotherly peace.
