City Government
In Wise Germany
New York Evening Post.)

New York Evening Post)
Ambassador Bernstorffs address before
the City club last night on municipal
government in Germany gave in COM
pact form an account OF the essential
features Of the administration OF Ger
man cities. He discreetly left il to his
hearers to note the differences from
American practice. The main one Is
doubtless the German rule to select care
fully municipal officials. high and low.
and then to give them practically life
career In the service OF the city. This
at once makes possible a skilled force,
assured of long tenure. and entering
upon the work OF administration with a
sort OF professional pride 1t has been
said that we cannot obtain that kind of
service in. this country. because we are
''democratic." and democracy implies
frequent change in ONCE and the spells
system OF appointment That talk, how
ever, already sounds obsolete. II may
be true that we cannot elect mayors for
1z-year terms. nor would we wish to,
but, the idea OF securing highIy-trained
permanent officials in charge OF the chief
municipal services, Is clearly making
headway among us, and this is not un-
democratic unless Il be contended by the
champions Of democracy that to be
wasteful and laundering is to be truly
demderatic. AS DR.. Shaw observed last
night, the German municipal service is
democratic In the finest sense OF the
word. inasmuch as IL opens a career for
talent Any man may aspire 10 any
place in II provided he is ale TO demon
state his capacity.

action set up BY 1904 1t amounted al
most to a fiood-tide. From 1904 to 1877
the small and diminished force of mis-
sionaries and native Christians added
so ,5s1 converts to the rolls OF the evangel-
ical churches. Leading men OF the ma
ton allied their efforts to the work Of
the missionaries In order to enltghten
and elevate the nation. Yuan Shin Kai,
the present premier, who was then vice.
roy of the province of Chile, established
5000 primary schools in that province.
Chang Chin Tung, viceroy of the prov
inces of Hupeh and Nunan, ordered that
the New Testament should be taught in
all the schools OF those provinces. the
population of which numbers 5000 900.
All these and other things have created
a demand for Christian literature, and
books and papers have been and are be-
ing carried to every part of the en-
pire as if borne on the wings Of the
wind One publishing house In Shang-
hal, the property of one of the evangeli-
cal churches, issued in 1907, 100000
copies of religious books and tracts In
the same year the British and Foreign
BibleN Society in Shanghai sold 100000
copies of DC rtions Of the Scriptures, and
the Central China Tract Society sold
], 100000 tracts and portions of the Bible.
cations must be added the vast issues of
other publishing agencies In China. The
Revival of Learning and the Reforma-
ton did not more nightly move Europe
than this Christian and literary move
ment is moving the Chinese empire.
Ideas of liberty and life are running
throughout the empire as they ran
through Northern Europe in the days Of
the Reformers. BY consequence there
is an uprising of the people and a pull
ing down OF the Manchu power. Far be-
yond the visible extension of the
churches in the China Christian ideas
and Christian influences are penetrating
the nation. In the upheaval we may
look for some evil deeds to be done and
some evil consequences to follow; but
in the end there will be peace, progress.
and the elevation of the people.
In such a momentous hour the Chris
tan churches of America owe 1t to
themselves, to mankind. and to Christ
that they put forth their utmost
strength in increasing the evangelical
forces in China. Christendom must guide
China now. or suffer for the failure to
do so
