BY Rev. Charles steizie.

Worry has been called ''Am ericar-
tits" Cut that is SANDER. No country
is immune from the disease. Neither
Is any class Of society; rich and poor,
learned and ignorant. capitalist and
laborer-all aFe subject to its ravages
WORK rarely kills, but worry, sooner
or later, brings down its victim. a
man en- least afford to worry when
he does worry, because just at such
time he needs the force of every facul.
ty to bring him to his normal condi-
ton.
What is worry anyway? It is just a
host Of restless imps of fear, which
taken singly, could be conquered with
hardly an effort. 1t is their multiplied
ty, their psrsistency that discourages.
Hew IVORY may be cured?
First. by realizing the utter useless
ness of worry. A dozen eternities spent
Ia worry will not change a single fact.
1t is only by har1, faithful WORK that
such things are accomplished, and no
man car work well, with a clear head
and steady hand, if he will persist
in worrying
Second, by taking large view Of
life. Most Of us imagine that the world
is eomprehended within our own linz
tied horizon. That is not quite tue.
There are really some good people and
some good things beyond the line Of
our vision.
Third, by not "crossing bridges" un-
welcome to them. As a matter Of fact
nine.tent hs Of our fears are never re-
allied. Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof
Fourth, not only by remembering
that tomorrow has not yet arrived,
but that yesterday is already passed.
Fifth, by constantly recalling that
this is Gods world. Ii has not yet
gone to the devil. 1t may at tin2 es
seem as though it had, but the pres
ence OF so many strong, good people in
it, and the constant progress that we
are making disproves it.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1907-12-06

Picking, China.-Wily Chinese have
said, in English speech and print, that,
all in all, Confucianism is quite as
good as Christianity, if not better, and
they have more than implied that it Is
an impertinence for Christian nations
to send missionaries to their country.
This matter is fundamentally impor-
tant; any investigation of missions
must deal with the native religions OF
the mission field. Moreover, as am
studying mission work at first hand,
and not from the books written about
it by propagandists, l am bound to
form my conclusions of China's reli-
gion by observation of the life of the
people, especially with respect to their
religious practices.
Broadly speaking, and apart from
the Christian adherents, the Chinese
are less religious than the Japanese,
and more so than the Koreans. One
looks in vain for the multitude of
idols and shrines which are to be met
on every side in Japan. The idolatry
of the Chinese may almost be said to
have been exaggerated. While every
house has its kitchen god," there is
lacking the goo shelf that is found in
most Japanese homes, and the public
idols are few, except in temples.
A word about this kitchen god. He
is a paper image, before whom are
placed candles and incense, generally
unlighted. AS all family affairs, even
In the greatest households, find their
way to the kitchen, the kitchen god is
supposed to hear everything. Accord

OF all the religious tenets of the Chi
nese, that of ancestor worship is the
strongest, although it can hardly be
disassociated from spirit worship. It
is probably less matter of love for
ancestors than of fear of their spirits
which lies at the bottom of the Chi
nese regard for the departed. The
great occasion for doing reverence to
ancestors is the New Year; elaborate
offerings are made before the ances-
trail tablets, and afterwards there is
feasting and music.
So inwrought is ancestral worship
with the social, civil and political life
of the Chinese that it is very difficult
for Christian convert to separate
himself from it all, especially on the
occasion of funerals and the New
Year. Certain veteran missionaries
assume the position that the venera-
ton OF ancestors should not be regard.
ed as fdolatry; they prefer to look
upon it merely as filial respect, just
as the northern states of America keep
Memorial day. Were all missionaries
to take this ground serious obstacles
would be removed from the paths of
many natives who want to enter the
church.
Among the Chinese it is commonly
reported that Europeans have no re-
spect for their ancestors. An interest.
ing concession to this feeling is to be
noted in the practice of many mission.
aries, who prominently display family
and ancestral portraits where native
guests will see them.
A Motley Crew of Dirty Priests.
One needs a strong stomach to
travel in the east, but the famous
Llama temple in Peking is enough to
turn the strongest. This is supposed
to be Buddhism at it's best. Buddhism
straight from Llhassa, the home of the
grand Llama. In it's prime the build.
ing was no doubt splendid, and it has
many interesting carvings and
bronzes; but as whole it is in a
state of miserable decay. It's dirt and
griminess and squalor, however, are
nothing as compared with the filth
and odiousness of the priests. They
are the most repulsive lot of mortals
it has ever been my bad fortune to
meet. Their unwashed, unkempt ex-
ternal appearance is less hideous than
their manifest moral rottenness. One
does not need to hear the tales with
which the community abounds to learn

tan came along to pick him up, and
he was in semi-conscious condition
for several days subsequently. SIM
ilarly, one Chinese will watch another
drown without stretching forth a
hand to help him.
Every imposing residence in China
has pasted on its doors hideous images
to scare off the evil spirits. Streets
do not run straight, in order to battle
the spirits. Inns and large residences
have stone screens in front Of the
principal entrances, so that evil spirits
may not find their way in. Charms
hang over almost every doorway.
Graves can be located only after the
dispositions of the spirits of wind and
water have been consulted-and, in
the case of wealthy persons, it re-
quires a deal Of time and money to
find out what the spirits wish. Much
of the native religion is associated
with the dead. The Chinese are fear
full lest their dear departed should re-
turn to trouble them. Therefore, the
massive collins, the offering of food at
the grave, and the burning of paper
images of money, houses, clothes, serv-
ants, and even, in one case I wit
messed, paper jinrickishas.
The nearest approach to street idols
seen in China is the oven wherein is
burned every scrap of paper that floats
about the streets, lest it contain a
sacred character, and also paper
prayers. The Chinese believe in the
fire route to the spirit world. Down
in Canton every houseboat has it's lit
tie sanctuary in front, before which a
light is kept burning. In that part of
the country it is also the custom to
burn incense daily outside the door
way.
