of Confucius China is the Oldest ma
ton IN the world and is believed to
have been founded on the dispersion
of the builders Of Babel. The language
is unlike any other known tongue.
The government differs from all others
in that it seems to have been designed
to develop humanity without reference
to Divine or supernatural aid, although
the grossest superstitions have crept
in. Confucius, VIII lived about 2,45O
wears ago, compiled the laws (as he
says) from preceding authorities,
which indicate three principles, or
axioms, each containing proportion

There is a continuous struggle with
