The voters comprised Manchus,
Mongolians, meritorious persons and
profound scholars, and their duty was
to select 1874 men who should act in
the final assembly, which was sup
posed to speak the voice of China.
Well StageManaged.
Everything was well stage-managed
and the voters were in all appearance
as free as air to express their opin-
ions. There was no enthusiasm such
as Occidentals are accustomed to even
in their minor electoral contests, but
everything was orderly and quiet and
the externals left nothing to be de-
sired.
When / add that the result was
national assembly which gave its 1898
votes solidly for monarchy you will be
able to form an opinion as to the free
dom of voting. The truth is. that, con-
sidered as specimen OF government
by the will of the people, the whole
business was an elaborate sham. The
monarchy movement was engineered
from Peking, and the present govern
ment, which Is Yuan, ran it.
President Yuan is Just as reluctant
to become emperor Of China as Theo-
dore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft
and Woodrow Wilson were respective
ly reluctant to become president of
the United States at the last presi-
dental contest. 1t is Yuan move,
and since the secret motives of men s
minds are not open for judgment, |
will not say that 1t is not the result of
deep and patriotic conviction that
only the establishment of an empire.
with himself in the throne, can save
China. But the pretext OF popular agi-
tation and an irresistible demand are
just-well. let us say etiquette, in the
same way as Yuan's first refusal was
oriental politeness.
It does not follow that the change
may not be the best thing for China.

alternate Sunday nights questions of
the most practical sort under the gen.
eral heading Christ and Humanity's

Christian in Politics." his duties and

ance to his country should carry him
and what debts he owes to humanity
at large. b.. -
Problems increasingly difficult of
solution arise every day and it is i'm
portant that we should bend our ener-
gies to getting into the proper atti-
tude of mind to approach them. Ma
tional, as well as international ques-
lions, will be taken and, local politics
will be especially considered. The
balance twixt the things that are
Caesars" and "the things that are
Gods" is not easy to attain but an
honest open-minded attempt to get
nearer the heart of things will be
made on Sunday evening Any in the
audience who have questions to ask
or helpful suggestions to make are

Another interesting Letter Re-
Ceiyed BY C. U. From Mr..
and Mrs. D. r. WiCkeS

Difficulties attending the study OF
dialects Of the Chinese language are
explained in an interesting letter re-
ceived by Central Union church from
Mr.. and Mrs. Dean X. Wickes, its
missionaries in North China. e..
In full, the letter is as follows:
The Chinese language is as you
may know a most complex affair with
many branches, dialects and varieties.
Very rarely, moreover, does a foreign
or so speak il as not to be known
at once as a foreigner when heard
but not seen. The imperfection OF
this chief medium of communication,
the spoken word, is great barrier
to effective service for Christ among
the Chinese, and one that determin-
ed from the start would in my own
case reduce TO the smallest dimensions
] could. ......>.-:.. III 49,. . 81
For the, first three years studied
almost exclusively the Mandarin dia
Iect as spoken in Picking and its neigh
borhood. This meant pronunciation,
understanding the spoken sounds, rec
ognition of characters, reading and
understanding the printed page, be-
sides writing characters and sentences
in Romanized, that is with English
letters TO represent the spoken
sounds. The fact that so very many
words have exactly the same sound
makes this last of much less value for
general use than one might think.
For example, Goodrich's little die.
tionary gives eightfour different
words each pronounced like our long
4 with low-pitched falling infiec.
tion. With high-pitched falling in
fiection there are nineteen more, thir.
ty-three with high-pitched rising in
Election and twenty-one with low
pitched rising infection. That is for
Picking; in Shantung the infections or
tones are all shifted around. A few
of these words are pronounced with
different infections for different mean
ings or in different combinations.
This is a rather extreme case, but
yet characteristic of all Chinese. While
the connection usually gives clue
to which word is meant, you may well
imagine that the possibilities of mis-.
understanding are large. Differing
varieties of Mandarin are spoken
through the greater part of China,
and the recently revised New Tesla
ment aims 10 be understandable
