The Jesus Church in China.

A recent number of The Missionary
Review Of the World (New York;
quotes as its authority " a prominent
missionary in China" for the state
ment that "a very conspicuous writer
in one of the main newspapers Of Pc
king. himself a Buddhist, has written
a startling article in which he advo-
Gates the establishment of the Jesus
Church in China" The outline Of this
writer's argument is given here:
"He begins by calling attention to
the present trend toward radical re-
forms. Then he notes that all i'm
n3rtant reform movements emanate
from the west, and that when TRACED
thew are found to crystalline about
man or group of men; that these re-
formers, when they are STUDIED as 10
the source of their ideas and insplra-
tions. are found to be imbued with the
Jesus's religion. And so the writer
concludes that the surest way to pro-
mote reforms is to introduce and foster
the Jesus church and faith.
"R,,t he also concludes that the re-
form work can only be successfully
carried ON in China by natives, not for
ei,yners: and so he logically argues that
Some eminent man must connect MIN
self With the Jesus religion, understand
al, about it. become imbued with 1t, ana
then become the representative mead
of it in China; so that all that is gooo
about the religion may find IN a natlve
Chinese who has the confidence OF the
empire and people a proper leader!

those who are most insistent that Bussa
shall die on the gallows, is bloody
minded; they would be satisfied with
life sentence did they not fear that
he will ultimately find parole or par
don. In fact, swift death would be
more merciful than the lingering horror
of life lived as Busse must drag out
his existence There would be little
support of the death penalty We're it
not for the easy exercise of the par
doning power. There are few con-
demned murderers who would not fear
a life term more than death were it

| that it will still favor. countrywide
primary, even if the "slave-drivers'
in our present "Des Moines regime
should be able to force thru" state
wide primary. The Republican ever
declares that it will never change Its
opinion, but will wait for an ANGRY
people to clamor as loudly for the re-
peal of such a law as few hiring
newspapers now clamor for 1t" The
Republican has grown very much &C.
customed to waiting, of late, for the
people to quit doing business, and ap-
parently has become resigned to its
task. 1t is really too bad that the Re
publican does not cut loose from one or
two,sef its sentanglements and get III
line with real reform.
+ The countrywide primary is device
to give the public something to be
called a primary which in effect will
not be a primary at all. The inspiring
gatherings" as the Republican calls
our conventions, are to be- preserved.
The voters in each county are to vote
for delegates, as the Republican ex-
plains the plan. We had virtual pri-
maries in many counties this summer,
and some of the delegates obeyed the
will Of the people, while others did
not. When we got to the convention
there was plenty of inspiration. 1t
kept men up all night, but was 1t what
the people wanted?
The Republican complains that a
statewide primary would prove COR
rupt, a rich mans opportunity, a loss
OF influence to the small county. What
would the Republican say about the
recent convention fight in which 1t is
conservatively estimated that ED.
Hunter spent 100000 carrying county
delegations? Is there voter in Iowa
who honestly believes that he was not
enough to vote directly for
those nominations and have his vote
legally counted by an election board?
For what reason should he be asked to
vote for some delegate to do the NOM
mating? How can the small counties
be denied the full force of their vote
in a statewide primary, when the dele
gates under the other system are al
ways apportioped according to the
vote cast at previous election? Their
relative strength would remain the
same whether their votes were counted
direct or thru the intermediary Of a
delegation. Even the danger of NOM
nation going to candidate who
polled less than half of all the votes
IS no worse than the nominee in a
who stampedes delegations
.hru trades for other places on the
ticket and thru the manipulation of
such of the Republicans friends as
Mr.. Blythe and Mr.. Hunter.
1t is unfortunate that this statewide
primary could not be met manfully,
low that public sentiment has spoken
30 universally for it, but the voters of
iowa might as well know that the
primary is nothing but a
,ubterfuge and is so intended by the
men who had to be driven to acknowl-
,dge that any primary at all was desir-
,ble.

The Jefferson Bible.

The government printing office in
Washington has been besieged OF late
for what is known as the Jefferson BIZ
BILE. This is the work entitled 1.-THE
Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth
Extracted Textually from the Gospels
in Greek, Latin, French and English by
Thomas Jefferson"
Jefferson was proficient linquist
and some thought him free thinker
il not an avowed atheist. Yet he com-
piled the Jefferson Bible. which can
best be described by a letter he wrote
January 20, 1915, from Monticello, to
Charles Clay:
Probably you have heard me say ]
had taken the four Evangelists, had cut
cut from them every text they had re-
corded of the moral precepts OF Jesus
and arranged them. in certain order.
and altho they appeared but as frag-
rnents, vet fragments Of the most SUI
hlime edifice Of morality which had
ever been exhibited to man."
Speaking further Jefferson said:
II not only write nothing on religion
hut rarely permit myself to speak OF
it,"
The government owns the Jefferson
Bible and copies Of it are now scarce
as hens teeth.

Now, fifty years ago the majority of
the pews held six persons comfortably

been a few Of these two seated pews,
