C. MISSIONARY TELLS OF CHINESE GODS Writes Especially of the Farm-; j ers' God Who Rules Agri- j cultural Activities. ! . | | c P. O. Box No. 12154, Shanghai,, | China, Nov. 6, 1930. i Dear Editor: —You doubtless have j . m&ny readers .among farmers whom ■ | the Chinese class as second only to j [ the officials. They may be interest-j ;ed in the god I enclose. He is "San-, j da-loh-te" the one Chinese farmers j | worship to get good harvests. ! Though "highly civilised" China lis a country of idols and idol-voi | s hip. The people have gods for every j purpose and need and for each and j ! every class and occupation. I some- j times think China has as many gods j as people! This farmers' god is real ly named meaning "grain god." "San-da-loh-te" describes him ."Three-heads-six-hands" god. The Chinese often call men and gods this way, as Mr. One-eye or Mr. Pot mark, or 'Mr. Crooked-foot, .or Mi. Iron-crutch. You will notice that the god I send has six hands. In the upper two hands he carries the sun (red) and the moon (green). If he j turns the sun and moon properly the . seasons come to the advantage of j the farmers. If not, then Spring, j Summer, Autumn and Winter are bad. In • the second pair of hands are the "rain-bell" and the "wind-charm" (7 stars of Great Bear). With these he governs the winds 'and the rain jso as to give the farmers (if he is j pleased with them) sufficient wind! 'and rain to make crops grow quickly] j and abundantly. Koh-zen's third two j [hands grip two swords. With these! !he slashes all the devils who would destroy or harm the crops or farms, j Koh-zen has two eyes for each of his three heads and an extra 6ne for good measure. Seven is a "perfect number." With his seven eyes he can see everything perfectly. He can so ! see the needs and supply thm. He jean see the dangers and devils and i repel them. Is he not a useful sort *of fellow? But. they must worship j him faithfully to keep him pleased. ;He is worshipped chiefly in the Spring ' enough to last the whole year. They J set a fine feast before him and burn ! candles and incense, themselves eat l ing what he leaves! The eight red characters express their prayers, "S-kyi bing-an, Zan hwa mo-zwen" —May the four sea ) sons be peaceful, the silk and pro jduce be abundant. The figure above j is the "Pa-kua," a highly valued and much used charm. The four gods at | tending Koh-zen are powerful as- I sistants. Koh-zen is very busy and needs these fellows to run his er j l ands and carry out his commands J of mercy. You will thus see how the Chinese needs and desires are like? those of Westerners, and how Chin ese, to meet the needs, work out in I their gods the attributes suited to J supply their needs. How we wish they J knew our one true God and realiz j ed how He is really living and ablr ) and willing to supply all these pic jtured needs and all other needs as well. It is our joy to live among this interesting people and lovingly point them to our wonderful Lord, not ' forcing our religion upon them but ; revealing "a more excellent way." j for them to adopt or reject according j to their own sweet will. Pray for this j great people. May you and your 1 friends have a very Merry Christ- I J mas and a .Prosperous New Year. Yours in Christ's glad service, (Rev.) H. G. C. Hallock. ! (Ed. Note)—A large picture ot ! this god may be seen at The Courier office. Show Realizes SIOO For Charity Spindale, Dec. 22.—The Carolina Theatre gave two showings of "The King of King's" here Sunday for benefit of charity, one at two o'- j clock and one at four o'clock. The house was filled to its capacity at. i j both shows. Approximately SIOO was i realized from the show. All proceeds ' were turned over by the manager, | Mr. L. C. Sipe, to the Charity Coni j mittee of the local churches who will ! use it to relieve suffering and want iin the town at Christmas time. No ! set admission fee was charged. All ■who passed through the dcors were ; : asked to make as liberal contribution I as possible. About 1400 people were present for the two performances. NEW STAR ROUTE CARRIER. | I » Beginning last Monday Mi-. Mar-1 cus Bryant Whisnant of Lawnuale, ! is the new carrier on the Ruther- j fordton-Shelby Star Route which : leaves Rutherfordton at 2 p. m , and : arrives back from Shelby at 5 :?>0 p. ' m.
