The Chinese Situation.

Ought the ADglo Saxon to Inter

toms%' was the subject of the eve
ming address by DR.. Tilden at the
Winthrop Street Baptist church. =
The speaker argued that the Anglo
Saxon, if actuated by the Christian
motive, is justified in peacefully in
vading the Orient, as shown by results

took the ground that the introduction
of Christianity into China has been

the nation in all respects.
Continuing he said. THE distance
of the Orient from us may account
for their manners differing from ours
but manners are not morality and we
have nothing to do with them. But IN
deeper things there is only one right
of way of living for all men alike and
were Japan and China or India thrice
as far away as they are in distance
and custom they will still be amend
able to this one right way of living
and we. If we knew what it was,
would be under obligation to point 1t
out TO them
THE principles of true human life
are as undertaking and as universal
as God is. Conflict with Him in China
is as bad as damaging as such con-
flict with him in America and no
plea of venerable custom to the con-
trary can change the result.
christianity is offering China
chance to escape from the calamity of
further conflict with God and nature
from which they have suffered such
unspeakable loss in mind and bodily.

have done nothing for the maladies
of /fler people and they never can;
they cannot even teach them TO live
heahhily.7' said the speaker
He declared that the great sad fact
about China was that the Chinese
were In constant bondage to fear. This

The text of his sermon was John
xv:15 and his subject, Servants or
Friends of Christ. Which, DIR. TIL
den is very forceful speaker and hi
discourse abounded in striking and
easily remembered epigrams, among
which were the following:
Jesus reveals to us sthe Father as
an actor among men,
"A multitude eff Christians are only
acquainted with the Lord and many
of them rather slight aequaintanees.'
The Christian life means conquer
ing not coddling."
Nobody can consistently accept
Jesus Christ as his savior, while
standing still in his tracks,"
God doesn't take pleasure in sub
DUNG us to his wills"
When man becomes a friend to
Christ he isl whole man and a hap
Ply man.
I we have methods and organiza :
tons galore but what we need is more
motive power
Gods supreme effort is not to ge
men into heaven but TO get heaven in
side of men,
The Christian is not the man with
the hoe but the man with the sickle,
the reaper
You can't drive man to do n
single noble thing; all the best things
have been done from SPONTANEOUS
choice"
