China. Confuc,rn Edict.

The argument employed by the
Christians of China, have recently pc
titioned both Houses OF Parliament to
prevent the establishment Of Con-
fucansm as the state religion, are
given in DR.. McCillivray's article in
the Missionary Review Of the World
A state religion and religious liberty
included In one clause are self-con-
Trajectory In spirit. The constitution
will not deal with all religions i'm
partially If Confucianism alone Is
authorized. Such a caluse raises the
question of the religious standing Of
officials; moreover, it does not repre-
sent the opinions of the majority. II
would destroy the distinction between
government and religion. The natural
result OF this provision would be to
destroy the unity existing between the
five races. holding differing religions.
In the country. This would imperil
territorial integrity and would create
internal strife between different re-
ligions: Separation Of shureh and
state in China has proved that tho
republic does not need to borrow the
influence OF a state religion like Con-
fucianism.
Individual Christians further argue
that Christianity is the religion which
can most help the state. and in these
particulars mentioned by Chang Ch'un-
VI: 1t helps the progress of civilization
as a basis Of the state; 1t cleanses the
republic OF errors and evil customs
standing In the way of progress and
demotracy; 1t holds up the highest
ideals OF the duty before the indi-
vIdual as to individual faults. az to
the relief OF the poor and distressed,
and as to the upright performance OF
official duty; II furthers equality, unity.
patriotism and the peoples knowledge.
