The area OF China is something

Tibet, Mongolia and Manchuria.

Gently has been opened up to ex-
tensive mining operations; it is
estimated that China has as much
coal as all the rest of the world
put together, and that almost every
mineral substance is to be found
in an abundance within it's borders.
This nation has not developed
along the lines Of many other peo.
pie, for the national sentiment has
been against the natural laws OF
advancement. This sentiment has
not been due to the character OF
the people, but to the so-called
religions of China. 1t is a strange
coincidence to find three faiths,
dwelling side by side exerting an
almost equal influence upon the
development Of the national life.
Buddhism, Taoism and Confucian-
ism these have BOUND the people

CHINA, PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE.
Rev. DuBose Lsctursd Last Sunday Night Upon the
Subject of China, and Said In Part

ancient monuments OF a past gen.
Grafton, we stand in W Of their
age and history. But it is almost
impossible to conceive of the
meaning of a nations history,
which passes unbroken to the
times of twenty-five hundred years
before the coming Of Christ; fiji
teen hundred years before the
founding of Rome; seven hundred
years before the exodus OF the
Israelites from .he bonds Of Egypt.
when we combine with their age,
the facts of a literature, which,
though Of a Oriental type, COM
pares favorably with the best lit
erature of ancient times, also the
monumental works that have been
erected in that nation, at the time
when our tore-fathers were in bar
barism; we can then realize the
very natural pride the native has
in his own country.

II wish to state the ground up
on which | stand, because during
my lecture on account OF lack OF
time | will not be able to give de-
tailed incidents in support of some
Of my statements, which may be
different from the common and ac-
cepted ideas of China.
Having been born in China, and
having spent the early part OF my
life in that country, ! speak from
the standpoint OF an actual observ-
er of the things upon which will
address you tonight; also my father
and mother, Rev. DR.. and Mrs. ii.
c. DuBose, have been missionaries
in China for thirty-six years, my
oldest sister gave her young life for
China in 1897; my sister living and
her husband, Rev. DR.. and Mrs.
VIM. F. Junkin, have been mis-
sionaries in China for ten years,
and my brother and his wife, Rev.
and Mrs. p. c. DuBose went out

placed them under the oppressive
hands OF the priests, and forced
them to turn their eyes to the past
instead OF the future.
China has a great many bad
debts to cancel with the so-called
christian and civilized nations. In
1886 when the imperial govern
ment was trying to drive out opium,
whose pernicious influence was
about to destroy the life of the
nation, the Christian nation OF
England forced the product upon
China by war. Upon England
rests the guilt of thousands OF
homes destroyed and lives ruined
in every year since its introduc-
ton into China of opium.
France has incurred the bad
debt OF having seized in the past a
portion OF southern China. Ger.
many took by force, though under
the guize of an indemnity, the
port OF Kaochow, Russia, Port
Arthur and England, Wai-Hei
Wal. We have often heard of the
Boxer uprising at this time of these

wall Of China; this is connected
with a period of their history, and
indicates the great skill OF these
people in ancient times. This
wall was built across the northern
part of China proper, for the pur-
pose of defending the people from
the boards of the north. 1t is of
immense size, and contains enough
material according to the calcu-
lations OF some engineers to make
a wall around the equator of the
earth twelve feet high and four feet
thick. Unfortunately this wall
did not serve its purpose, for the
Manchus conquered China, and
today 1t is not one of pure Chinese
blood who sits upon the imperial
throne.
The population of China is vast,
beyond the usual computation for
the n of land they occupy.
Four hundred million people; COM
pare them with the population of
Japan, and note the vast difference;
four hundred million to eighty
million. The significance of this

to that country in 1906, so from
the letters Of my people | have
been able to keep in touch with
the events in that nation, since |
came TO America.
Il wish also to state the pur-
pose Of my address: Owing to the
Wilderness of the subject, | will not
be able to give all the facts of the
life and customs OF the Chinese,
but will only select a few Of them;
those that bear directly or Indirect
ly upon the state Of of affairs in
China today, and will influence our
views of China of the future.
las we of the Occident view the
Orient from our standpoint, we
see that ancient nation, covered
with a cloud of the mysticisms of
the East, standing erect amidst the
glory of a past civilization. When
we turn the pages of history to the
stirring times of the early days of
this country, we think that we are
viewing history of ancient times.

of Europe, and walk amidst the
