DR.. YOUNG j. ALLEN AND THE
CHINESE REVOLUTION

Rev w E. Towson, in an article in
the Methodist Quarterly Review for
October, printed at Nashville, says
that DR.. Young j. Allen, perhaps more
than any other one individual is re-
sponsible for the Chinese revolution,
and the successful overthrow OF the
Manchu dynasty The prime mover
IN China's reform movement was
Kang Yu Wei. who was a convert to
Christianity and western civilization.
In his Christian Missions and So
cial Progress" DR.. Dennis records
an utterance made by Kang in an i'll
tervieW in the China Mail. published
at Hong Kong Speaking of him, the
editor said: There has not been a
patriot in China in an hundred years
and now you suddenly spring forth
the embodiment OF the highest patri-
otism and wisest craftsmanship.
Where did you get your information
ana your INSPIRATION.
kang replied: Il owe my CONVEX
sion to reform chiefly to the writings
of two missionaries, the Rev limo
thy Richards, agent of the English
Baptist society and the Rev DR.. AL
len, a missionary of the Southern
Methodist Episcopal church in Ameri-
ca"
More than any other organization
to help along the revolution was the
Diffusion Society" Dr. Young ].
Allen and DR.. williamson, an English
missionary, were the founders of the
Diffusion Society"
DR.. William E. Griffis, author Of
numerous books on oriental customs
and things pertaining specifically to
Chinese affairs, says: "Dr. Allen was
the laboring oar of the Diffusion So
ciety for years.
This society received the sanction
of the government to print its litera-
ture in the Chinese language and dis
tribute it in the empire. Dr.. Allen.
for many years was editor of the
magazine for the society, and in his
last trip, which he termed his fare
we'll to America, during which he
visited Ocala, he told us of the num-
Der of amanueses and stenographers
he employed His labors were sys-
tematic and prodigious. 1t is admit
ted without question that his labors
were more abundant than all his CO
laborers Among the potent and in.
tiuential output of his pen original

came Christians. THE Making OF
Man" a Scheme TO Make a Nation

Copies OF his Women in All

palace libraries at Pekin and Toxic
DR.. Dennis says that Dr. Allen $
books We're of great timeliness and
value to Chinese statesmen and stu
dents.
Or. Allen regarded his Women IN
All Lands" the crown jewel of his
life work. 1t is printed in ten vol
umes and is diffusely and handsomely

women in all lands, and he says that
''woman's position is the best single
test of civilization"

the beginning. He appeared to hold G. L.
Catlin. whose mark was plus aces. too

port player was steady and resourceful
so that he soon led Whitney. The latter
