china,a -Four Relations.

China has four state established re-
liglons, and In each the emperor exer-
cises sacerdotal functions. Twice a
year the emperor as ''son Of heaven"
worships before the tablet Of Shang III
or supreme heaven in accordance with
the ancient imperial monotheism.
Twice year he burns incense before
the tablets Of bis ancestors in accord
ance with Confucianism. Twice a
year he sacrifices to the gods Of Tao
ism and twice year to the image Of
Buddha. The ancient and primitive
religion of China Is monotheistic, but
this direct worship was regarded as
too sublime for the people, so that 1t
became reserved for the emperor alone
as the "son Of heaven" and as priest
of the nation. The people on their
part worshiped their ancestors, and 1t
was this ancestral religion which Con-
fucius identified himself with and re-
formed. The old superstitions rejected
by Confucius were absorbed by Tao
ism, which is polytheistic and the re-
ligion Of the populace. Then Bud
dhism came into China about 65 A. D.
and, like the other three religions, be-
came state supported and state en-
dowed,

Governor Jennings of Indiana used
to tell a story of his early electioneer-

panther may be good temperance
lecturer. Colonel W. M. Cockrum re-
peats the story In his pioneer History
Of Indiana" The incident happened
when Governor Jennings was travelling
over the thinly settled hills Of Dear
born county, electioneering for con-
gress.
He met a man with whom he was
well acquainted, by name Tom Ogles-
by. who was just getting over a pro-
tracted debauch. Jennings began ask
ing Tom about his political views.
The half sober fellow looked at him
and said:

Jennings, after hearing this, said:

should begin your life from this point

you are a capable civil engineer and
well educated. and If you cease drink

know the resourcefulness Of Mr..

"Well, owe lot to all the banks

tomorrow in the papers, giving the full
amounts and stating my inability to

The bulb is dipped into vat of water,

At the meeting of the Century
Club last week Rev. Arthur Richards
of the Presbyterian Church raised
good point in the matter of beauti-
flying the approaches of Smyrna. He
suggested that we make more of the
natural beauty of Lake Como by
having a "Lake Drive" completely
surrounding the pond. This would
give a pleasant outing for teams and
automobiles and would add much to
Smyrna. This suggestion was only
one of the many he made before the
club women but it struck home and
one property owner has gone so far
as to say he will give space enough
for a driveway through three of his
lots if other property owners will come
forward and offer theirs. Lake Como
could be made much more of a plea
sure than it is, if our citizens would
only appreciate what pretty little
body of water we have right at their
town limits and it is to be hoped our
the driveway" project can be sue
cessfully accomplished.
