IMPROVING MORALS IN CHINA
influence OF Christian Teachings
Shown In the Changed condi-
lions Found There.

1.-THE public conscience is now be-
Ing awakened upon this aspect of pub
lie morality. Last week / was in
vited to take part in meeting or
ganized by men who are not directly
connected with any Christian church,
but who are sincerely DESTROYS of as
ststing in the reformation of their
countrymen. Their purpose was to
start an antigambling league, and
with this in mind they called public
meeting, which was attended by some
hundreds of Chinese scholars and
business men, and resolutions were
passed In approved public meeting
style, approving of a campaign against
the gambling vice. Members of the
Chinese Young Mems Christian asso-
citation were asked to assist in the
meeting, and to demonstrate by the
means of games the possibility of
recreation without vice. Suitable ad-
dresses were given by prominent Chi
nese, and the chief organizer of the
movement is one of the government
education inspectors for the provinces
of Kiangsu and Kiangsi A Chinese
Roman Catholic teacher gave violin
solo, Chinese secretary of the Young
Mems Christian association rendered
two cornet solos, and Protestant
missionary sang to the gathering. The
whole meeting was conducted in so
orderly and orthodox a fashion that 1t
was scarcely possible to realize how
tremendous reformation in the
whole Chinese outlook upon public
life this meeting revealed. Twenty
years, even ten years, ago such a
meeting would not have been within
the realm Of possibility. Today we
have class of public moralists arising
who have undoubtedly learned from
Christianity In their midst the ideals
which they are DESTROYS of impressing
upon their countrymen."
