Fervent Believers in Evil Spirits ard
Kindred Invisible Agencies Source
of Much Trouble

II is a common belief among the IL
norant classes of the Chinese that
the innumerable evil spirits Of the
dead are real and terrible demons.
These demons are believed to be able
TO subject the relatives to the most
evil state OF bondage and suffering.
Superstition runs so rampant
throughout China in spite oil the
sprinkle of education and advances
made during the last decade by occi-
dental commerce and missionary eff
forts that the average native firmly
believes in the existence of invisible
agencies. These superstitious agen-
cies can mysteriously cut of queues
and bring about sickness or accident
or other dire disasters
Because of this superstitious fear
and belief in the presence Of evil de-
mons. many Of the Chinese are fire.
quently aroused to the widest. most
uncomfortable state of excitement.
These latter outbreaks manifest them
selves in different phases of public
disorder and rioting. For example, ip
1877 a panic broke out in which a
queue-cutting mania occurred
The later Boxer outbreak was a 81
gantic illustration of how supersti-
tious fear can arouse the average Mon

element and fever. the average ig.

denly repealed. The ignorant, super
stitious mind Of the native is readily
worked up to the point where he be-
lieves ne bears charmed life and
that his body is invulnerable to rifle
bullets. exploding artillery shells or
other missiles of war.
Difficult as it is to believe. there
are native fatalists existing today in
China so wildly superstitious that
they believe no sword has ever been
forged which can cut their charmed
lives. Obviously, they have never
gone up against the real thing in oc-
cidentaf warfare, bat it is with such
sophistries that these fataHsts in.
flame the superstitious minds Of their
ignorant followers. The disturbing
and perilous element among the &c.
lestials with their wild superstitions,
is impossible to estimate, but in spite
of the marvellous advances during the
ast two decades, China is still filled
with sulh dangerous men. One OF
the great needs Of modern China is
some educational method whereby
these. wicked and evil states of the
ignorant superstitious mind Of the Ce-
lestial can be overcome.-Clyde Wit

and went inside the car. He grabbed
the waybills from the rack box and ex-

taking his time inserted Seagrue's.
Having done what struck him rs an
