right to rejoice in it.
1t is indeed right that we should
love the beautiful and try to become
daily more beautiful ourselves To i'm
prove our looks and bearing in every
possible way, to make the most of
every tiny talent we possess, is our
duty and, making the most of them,
we should use them for the good Of the
world-as a means of uplifting human
ity, not debasing it; therefore, we must
be watchful of ourselves lest our own
loneliness work us evil, and through
self-loye and graduation we become
the abject slaves OF vanity-for her
slaves are neither lovely nor lOvahle,
and constantly work toward their Cwn
harm and the final destruction Of their
own charms.
The honest desire to possess strong
body and sound physique, a clear com
plexion, and good nerves will, nay,
must, result in a determined effort to
lead a pure llfe-following the laws OF
health, abstainng from hurtful indul-

all things.

be gained from such a life, think Of the

China met number Of ministers, ply
sicians and teachers. They all testified
to the stimulus given to the spread of
religion by the fidelity shown by the
Chinese Christians during the Boxer
troubles
Professor Isaac T. Headland Of the
published a volume entitled "Chinese
Heroes,' in which he gives number Of
instances of consecrated devotion on tho
part Of the Chinese to the Christian
faith, and why should not China be a
promising mission seid7 Buddhism has
here done it's perfect work and can
not reasonably ask for a further trial;
the philosophy of the sages has also
been shown impotent for the harmoni-
GUS development of the threefold man.
China has followed an ideal and fos
lowed it with diligence rarely exhibite
ed, but that ideal has been weighed in
the balance and found wanting. 1t is
eften said in defense of Confucianism
that it's founder gave to his disciples
the golden rule, stated in its negative
form, but too little emphasis has been
given to the difference between the doc
trine Of Confucius, "Do not unto
others as you would not have others do
unto you,' and the doctrine of the
Nazarene, whatsoever We would that
men should do to you, do we even so to
them There is a world of difference
between negative harmlessness and
positive helpfulness, and Christianity
could well afford to rest its case against
Confucianism on the comparison of
these two doctrines.
X \ =
In the analects of Confucius the
philosopher is asked: els there one
word which may serve as rule of prac-
t1ce for all ones hfe?". He was
answered: els not reciprocity such
word?" Here we have the doctrine of
selfshness as plausibly presented as it
as balancing Of favors, nice calcu-
lation of good done and good received.
There is no suggestion here of heart
overlooking with love, no intlmatlo7 Of
a blessedness to be found in givsns.
At another time some one asked
Confucius: "What do you say con-
corning the principle that injury
should be recompensed with kind
ness9' He replied: "With what then
will you recompense kindness? Rec
ompense injury with justice and kind
ness with Kindness In reply to an
other question, he goes so far as to
charge that one "who returns good for
evil, is man that is careful of his per-
son. How different these precepts
are from tbsse of the Sermon on the
Mount! Christians are accused of fail
ure to live up to the high ideal present.
ed by Jesus, and the accusation is just,
and yet, altho the Christian nations fall
far short of the measure which they
themselves recognize, altho processing
Christians reflect but imperfectly the
rays which fall upon them, from the Sun
of Righteousness, they are leading the
world in all that is ennobling and up
lifting, and China gives silent recogni-
ton to the superiority of the western
ideal in every reform which she under
takes.

The contrast between the bath-loying
Japanese and the dirty, complaisant
Chinese laborer is very marked, and
this contrast is also noticeable in the
streets. The sights and smells that
greet the senses along the narrow
streets of a native city are not soon for

: But whatever may be said Of the
habits of the lower-class Chinese, they

observing the conditions under which
they live, one can scarcely begrudge
them whatever comfort they can find

draw FROM their opium pipes And
speaking of opium, one is restrained
from speaking too harshly of the habit

justing disputes that neither party will
seem to be in the wrong.
In dealing with China this national
character must be borne in mind, and
it is to be regretted that foreign ma
tions have in their negotiations some
times initiated China instead of setting
her a better example. One constantly
meets over here with the theory that the
foreigner must conform to the methods
of the orient, but this is always adj
vanced as an excuse for following bad
custom. It is impossible to convince
China that our ideal is a better one
than hers unless that ideal is embodied
in action. When our country admitted
that the indemnity collected from
Japan after the Shimonosheki affair
was excessive, and returned it, she
made deep impression upon the Japan
csc. It was several times referred to
by speakers during our recent visit to
Japan as an evidence Of our country's
desire to do justice to other nations. It
is just as honorable for a patton to &C
knowledge an error as it is for an in
dividual to do so, and our nation has an
opportunity to admit another excessive
demand and return to China a, part of
the indemnity collected at the close of
the Boxer trouble.

The nation has ever given more en-
phasis to ceremony than does China.
Confucius places propriety among the
cardinal virtues, and the doctrine has
been elaborated until the whole life
is fettered by formality. Each rising
generation is drilled in the perform
ance of certain rites required by tap-
proved etiquette and it would be hu-
initiating for one to have to confess
that he did not know the proper thing
to do and the proper way to do it..
Even sincerity was of less Importance,
and both Confucius and Mencius set
demoralizing examples in placing the
latter above the former. In the Ana
lects an instance is given where one,
Joo Pei, wished to see Confucius, but
the latter refused to see him ION the
ground of being sick.'' When the
bearer of the message had left, Con-
fucius "took his harpsichord, and>sang
to it, in order that Pei might hear
| him.
It is related Of Mencius that he was
about to 60 to court to see the king
when he received message from the
king saying that the latter twas wish
ing to call on Mencius but was detained
by cold.' Mencius replied: Gun
fortunately I am unwell and unable
to 60 to COURT but next day he went
out and paid a visit of coincidence to
another family. While he was absent
from the house the kings messenger
called with physician, whereupon the
representative of Mencius explained
that he was sick the day before, but
that being a little better he had hast
ened to court. 1t was then necessary
to send out several men to intercept
Mencius and, get him to the king IS
house. All of this subterfuge was re-
sorted to in order to get the king to
call upon Mencius first. -.
The kowtow is still a part of the
ceremonial greeting. If two officials
are riding and meet, they dismount
