RELIGION OF LAOU-TsE.
1T HAS MANY PRAIsEwORTHY ELEMENTS
THE REV. DR.. MACARTHUR SAYS

The Rev. Robert Stuart Macarthur, in Calvary
Baptist Church. in West F1fty-seventh-st last
evening delivered the third of series of sermons
on the general topic of The Ethnic Masters and
the Divine Master" on the platform with DR.
Macarthur was the Rev. William Ashmore who
FOR forty years did missionary work in China DIR
Macarthur spoke in part follows:
The ethntc master to whom attention is tonight
called Is Laou-TSe. He celebrated nhiIosoN
pher of China and the founder of the religious sys-
tenn known as TdouiSm. The followers of this
philosopher have associated many foolish legends
with his name and history. Some make him Writ
ually a god. and declare thar marvellous prOdIeIss
accompanied his birth and his early years n is
quite certain that in many respects he wass far In
as morahst. Many of his moral sentiments ap-
proach the sublime ethics OF Christ. He made true
life consist of internal and spiritual excellence and
not merely OF external rite and Credal beliefs He
also taught that he who humbleS himself shall
be rightly exalted. Pie criticised and charged Con
fuctus with being a clustering and pretentous
agitdtOr.
The sreat difficulty with Taouism is that it did
not have sufficient vitality to lift up it's own
moral standards. II is to-day the religion of great
classes In China where the only spiritual exercises
are those OF degrading nature This pulpit joy
ously recognizes all that is good i'm heather phoso-
is reaching out after purer morality and a more
social and wholesome life. II may reckless

is overcoming the Boxers Christianity before the
lapse of quarter OF century will be the dominant
religion of China. .

Sir: II fifty thousand hundred thousand OF

proper conduct of domestic servants very prohta-
BILE employment and comfortable homes could be
secured by such of them were willing to accept
situations of that kind, and those who were not
would have learned much toward making their
lives and homes happier and more comfortable at
a considerable saving of expense. Such instruction
would save vast amount of labor and money ON
the part of the charitable people and would lessen
In some degree the intense wear and worry or the
good wives and mothers who suffer continually
from the difficulty OF securing competent domestic

We continually talk about helping the poor TO
help themselves but comparatively little is done In
that direction. Yours truly, B. w. b.
