Here. the off devils as the largest bells ever erected. If any doubt this, we Chinamen ask a competitive trial. Various other little devices which some ignorant and super system must be infinitely . more respect able than' the new faiths, some of which are only three or four hundred years old. Is there any reason why we Chi nese should not be allowed to enjoy our religion in our country in our own way? "Confucius taught us that we should do to others as we would have them do" to us, and this, I believe, has been intro duced into the Christian religion and is generally knOwn as the Golden Rule. Certainly r the English would not like to have us interfere with any of their religious or institutions. If we should force our priests UDon Enirland we should be doing to the English what w 3 would not liJce them to do to us. Con versely, the English, in enforcing their priests upon us, are tloing what they would not like others to do unto them. Consequently they are not only breaking the fundamental basis of their own faith, but other faiths also. It would be quite impossible to have peace in China so long as foreign missionaries are allowed to interfere with the institutions of the country,' and no government in Pekin can be strong enough to protect unpopu lar missionaries throughout so vast an empire. 'We. may not be able to keep these 'missionaries out of China because we are not a fighting nation, bnt any thing would be-better than the, mission aries. Peace,, prosperity and healthy commerce will be impossible until the missionary is eliminated from our local problem. Recall the missionaries and all will go well." - , lms fundamental missionary nrohlem is attracting more attention in England -oday than the varying phases of the dip- luuiaiic BiLuauon.

Many years ago it was discovered that if one wrote a prayer and placed it in a tea cup and gave the tea cup one turn it was just as good as repeating the prayer orally. Ten turns were equal to ten prayers. This Vas also Xound true no matter to what stent he apparatus was increased in size, wri the Slumber of prayers -added. So at the present time they ptit a million prayers written on paper in -a. large, ves sel mounted on' a thin pivot. Giving the vessel one turn, it registers .sne "million prayers, each of whioh is as effective as any other prayer. If any one doubts this we challenge him to axcompetition. If your missionaries can show ns any de vices in Europe which would be more efficacious in keeping off devils 7 or cheaper or more expedient in propitiat ing the deities with prayers than those that exist among our ignorant people today, then and not. till then, will it be time for yoa to isend . missionaries to China, r "All our superstitious practices are. among the Tcaists and Buddhists. The learned literary and official classes are all Confucians, and Confucius taught ns to respect our ancestors -and leave the gods alone. Confucius teaches us to have nothing to do with any one who pretends to have intercourse with the supernatural. We do not believe in any angels and demons whioh is so common in all others. It has often been said of us that because we do not believe in these supernatural beings our system is not religion at all. "When the first Jesuit missionaries went to China they did not attempt to meddle with the institutions of the counry. They taught mathematics, as tronomy and other rhilisoDbieal sub jects. They were well received and made themselves popular with the enn peror, but as soon as they commenced to attack the institutions of the coun try they had to quit." Dropping cynicism nd becoming earn estly logical, Cheng continues: "What we require in China is scientific men, men educated in some of the con crete sciences thatTvedo not understand to the same extent you understand them in England. We d not object to your doctors and we admire their skill, we do not object to your engineers, and neither do we object to any of your scientific men, so long as they do not in terfere with existing institutions. The whole cause of the resent trouble in China is because we have- an ignorant and superstitious class of people. The Buddhists, who nave a religion almost identical with the Christian religion are jealous of others who are bringing what they consider a competing faith. They feel exactly the eanie as the people would in this country if the Buddhists were to come here and attempt to sup plant Catholics and Protestants. But what exasperates us more than anything else is the immunity which the so-called converts have from the action of law intheir own country. Suppose a Chinese priest would come to England and it was known that every burglar and pick pocket there, by becoming a Buddhist, would become exempt from arrest. Sup pose the introduction 'of the new faith in England should give, the criminal classes- a license 4o ply their tirade -in Ijondon with complete immunity ; from the actfcm of laws, would -the English "Why; then, should we Chinese be an exception to the rule? Our civilization. 4s' the oldest in the. world. It enables more men to live to the square mile in comfort than any other civilization ever evolved. Before the missionaries visited pur country there was much less crime in proportion to the population than even in. Protestant Russia, which, is regarded as Jthe most moral of European coun tries. Our kind of civilization may dif fer from that of Europe, but it suits us better. We do not care to throw .it over unless something better is pro duced, something really better when viewed from our standpoint. " Our religious belief is quite as reason able '. and respectable as those of ; other nations, and if age should -be considered one of the factors of respectability our I11THBONE WILL.
