Bristol came to the League through
the operation of one of the principles
upon which the International institu-

of self lf-determfnation. When the hotel
passed and the League came, the

MACMURRAY OUTDOES CHINESE
IN ''PITILESS PUBLICITY" STUNT
Foreign Colony ChuckIes Over
Neat Way Envoy Turns
Tables on Chen.
Gains a Decided Advantage
in Exchange of Notes
on Tariff Issue.

Correspondence of The Star and New York
SHANGHAI. China. August To-
There Is a great deal Of amusement
and satisfaction among Americans in
particular. and all foreigners here in
general. al the neat manner in which
American Minister MacMurray has
turned the tables on Eugene Chen,
Canton's minister of foreign affairs,
In an open diplomatic dispute con.
cerning resumption of the tariff con-
ference in Pelling.
MIR. Chen protested violently
against resumption of the conference,
to which Canton refuses to send dele
gates, and issued various and sundry
warnings" TO the United States.
He then, following the plan of "pitiless
publicity" gave his note in full to
the press. Minister MacMurray, not
to be outdone, gave to the press his
brief and pithy reply, which says:
Your strong opposition is
evidence OF disheartenine lack of
unanimity among the Chinese people
with respect to the efforts of the
Government Of the United States
To carry out it's purpose of
bringing into effect certain readjust-
ments of treaty citations with China.
The object which this Gov
ernment has il view is the benefit of
CHINA as whole. and no; OF any
individual, military or political fac
tion."
In spite of this Snub 40 Chen, the
points raised in the Canton ministers s
note are really of importance and
may become serious. indeed. if the
men backing the present shadow gov
ernment finally are the losers in the
civil wars now raging, and particu-
larly so if Canton should be the
victorious faction.
Chen's note points out that any
excess customs money collected

pie as a whole, for the benefit of a
military faction which controls less
than one-half the area of the coun-
try. This, he says, amounts to for
eign powers using China's money to
subsidize single group trying by
war on the other groups to gain con-
troll. Because of this Chen then
says:
Il have deliberately to warn Amer
ica and the other interested govern
ments that the Chinese republics re-
pudiation of such a policy may con-
ceivably create a situation rendering
it imperative for the principle of re-
pudi# tion to he extended to other
l,>;tits contracted in the interests of
reaction and the militarists of eX-
ploita tion and plunder."
Chen is making it hard for Canton
to gain any foreign support when he
so closely shows the southern regime
will be easily tempted to repudiate
debts if it ever gets into national
power.
The customs duties are collected
by a foreign controlled organization

creditors and the surplus, after pay
ing interest and sinking fund charges,
goes to Peking. To give Canton d
share of this surplus would be to rec
ognize two governments in China

If there were any doubt upon this
point it would be dispelled by the
account of the interview between the
rich young ruler and Jesus. When
that earnest young man came to
Jesus and asked Him what he should
do, now that he was carrying out
every detail of the Jewish law, and
yet was unsatisf1ed as to his saliva
tion. Jesus answered him at once:
Sell all that thou hast and dis
tribute unto the poor and thou shalt
xviii.22l This was sound Essene
doctrine, as is known from other
sources of information.
If we are to reconstruct the life of
Jesus from the time of His youth, we
may easily guess that after He had
achieved membership in the syna-
gogue of Nazareth He came under the
influence of this Essene Sect which
had special fascination for Him.
We learn about the Essences from
Josephus, Philo and the Talmud, in
which are various accounts of these
Jewish ascetics. They usually wore
a white garb, scrupulously clean. but
worn until it was no longer wearable.
The people reverenced them for the
purity and self-denial which they
practiced. They were known as
mystics, and some assert that they
borrowed from the Medo-Persian
religion much of the mysticism they
practiced in their synagogues. They
had synagogues apart from the
others. and, though numbering pos
sibly less than 1900 at this time.

were bound to poverty. chastity and
obedience to their superiors. None
keep slaves, and all were obliged
especially to speak the truth. They
instituted regular system of accept
ing novitiates and advancing them
from grade to grade as they pro-
gressed in the teachings of the sect.
Two years were passed in the lowest
grade before the candidate could be re-
ceived into closer fellowship. At sun
rise they began the day with prayer.
They did not keep flocks or herds, but

ministry opened, lasting for some
thing over three years.
The question is frequently pro
pounded What was Jesus doing dur
ing the many years of His life upon
which the Gospels are absolutely ST.
lent?
The gaps in the Gospels are quite as
notable as the records-if we can only
fill them out with a semblance of
probability. What would not the
world give to know, for instance:
What Jesus was doing between His
infancy and the age of IL, when He
appeared in the Temple? And what
| He was doing from the age of IL to
! the age of 80, when His ministry
! began?
/ These matters are of real value to
| the modern world, which would like to
have more information as to the in
tiuences which were at work upon
Jesus, and how He must have lived
and been educated in order to do
! what He accomplished. Entirely aside
from any theological question what
ever, it is of great human interest,
from the historical point of view.
x !; = *
TT we study the state of the Jews in
l. Palestine during that first century
i we may gain considerable nght upon
/ this problem, The internal evidence
of the Gospels themselves may be of
value if properly utilized.
In that period between infancy and
His twelfth year it is natural to sup,
pose that Jesus received the usual
schooling of the Jewish child. He
| studied the Old Testament in the origi
nal Hebrew, translating it into the
Aramaic, a later Semitic tongue
much like the Hebrew, yet as different
from the ancient classical Hebrew as
is modern Greek from the tongue OF
Homer and Euripides. We know tina,
Jesus quoted freely from the ancient
Scriptures and that He translated into
the Aramaic is best proved by the las'
exclamation on the cross: Ell, Eli

why has Thou forsaken Me?'0 This
is a direct quotation from the Psalms

others as YOU would that they should

That Jesus was reared according to
the rules for the training of the Jew
ish youth is also proved by the fact of
His being brought up to the Temple
at Jerusalem in His twelfth year 1t
was a part of His preparation for the
imitation into the Jewish faith for

cording to the Gospels. He astonished
the rabbis who examined Him by the
wisdom of His questions and answers.
Yet from that day until He is an

word is recorded in any of the GOSPELS
as to what He was doing.
Here, too, we must reIv ,pon the

STUDENTS of the Jewish life of
that period are well aware of
the existence of a strange sect of
Jews, known as the Essenes. They
believed in community of goods, in
poverty and in living the spiritual
rather than the material life. 1t is
generally held that both John and
Jesus belonged to this sect, which
lived in the desert or forest, exist
