Thrme dataese Religions
(Prof. John Fryer, in Ainslee's.)
"Another 6erious difflcuity the mis
elonary in China has to contend with
is the complicated form of the religion"
u ne ninese. insieaa ot one system
or uocrnnes ana teacnings. there are
three great and separate- rellinons. dwll.
ing side by side and with Tittle if any
friction or want of harmony. Although
radically different in their origin, char-
aciensucs anu general aims, each seems
to do a complement of the other. A
Chinaman may select and follow as
much of all three as he pleases, with
out being inconsistent. The missionary
has therefore to study U three religions
in their history, doctrines and practical
Influences upon the heart and everyday
life of the people before ho can hope
to meet them on their own ground and
answer all -their objections to Christian
ity, lie nas three separate citadels to
attach instead of one.
"Xhe writings of Confucius are the
source whence the officials "and literati
derive their theories of government and
social dnties. The ethics Confucius per
vade and mnuenco every phase of
Chinese life. Tho doctrines taught by
their 'most holy sago' are cited as the
mralltble criterion of uprightness and
integrity In public and private life, nnd
were disseminated several centuries be
fore the coming" of Christ. They were
not original with Confucius, but Tather
the teachings of the ancient kings and
sages, who flourished in tho far-off
Golden Age of China, when the evils of
bail government were unknown, and
when the Chinese seem to have recog
nized and worshipped the true God. Con
fucius confessed to be only a reformer, a
transmitter nnd not the author of a new
religion. Hut it i almost impossible to
estimate the enormous hold this, system
with Its time-honored classics now has
upon the educated nnd ihinking men of
China. Its teachings are of a high order,
yet they are as much disregarded in
every-day affairs as Christ's teachings
are disregarded among ourselves. The
Chinese know what is right, tout fall ut
terly to practice it.
''Then there is Taoism, tho second
form of religious faith and practice,
originating with the philosopher Lao
tsxe in the century when the Jews re
turned from Babylon. Its ancient clas
sics, the Tno-tch-king, comes nearer to
tho philosophy of our Old Testament
teachings than any other books in the
world. Had this system remained in its
original purity it would have served as
an excellent basis for Christianity. Un
fortunately the Taoists went astray,
hunting for the Philosopher's Stone, the
elixir of immortality with other vague
conceptions, nnd then fell into the
grossest superstitions and demonolatry.
The evil influences of modern Taoism up
on Chinese society are tremendous, and
it is a grater foe to the Christian mis
sionary than Confucianism.
"These two great religions, Confucian
ism and Taoism, did not satisfy the
longings of the soul of the Chinamen,
nor did they afford comfort or solace in
the many troubles and sorrows of life.
To supply this want Buddhism came
from India some time before the nirtn
of Christ, but it was not till shortly after
that event that the Emperor Mmg-tl
had his wonderful dream, and as a re
sult sent messengers to India to. invite
Iluddhist teachers. After experiencing
many vicissitudes, isuddnisra necame
firmly established. The worship of
Amida Buddha with the Goddess of
Mercy became prevalent, while temples
and monasteries, priests and nuns were
soon to be found everywhere. The West-
ern l'aradise. tne limidmst liens, tne
transmigration of souls, -the vegetarian
diet, the dpctrines of Karma and Nir
vana, nnd the worship of the goddess
Kwan-yln. who has power to save and
to Kstow sons upon her votaries, are
all so hrmly engrafted on the ordinar
Chinese mind that it seems impossible
that they should be modified, much less
effaced by 4 he teachings of Christianity.
l ei me missionary is exvieu ii gu
forward boldly to nttack this giant also,
in the name of the Lord, and armed
only with his sling and his stone.
"As if all these difficulties were not
mflleient. Buddhism had hardly settled
down harmoniously with its two sister
religions when Mohammedanism enter
ed the empire, pushing its way into im
perial notice with great effect, and con
testing with its monotheistic doctrine
against the corrupt religious practices
that had grown up in the other (three
division. It came to stay, in spite of
numberless persecutions and rebellions,
in which millions of Mohammedans have
ben put to death. Most of the Moslem
Chinese now occupy a very strong posi
tion In the whole of NortLssst China.
Others are scattered over the face of the
empire, many of them being rich and
enjoying official positions. Although op
posed to the main features of Christian
ity, the Mohammedan faith is not en
tirely without its advantages to. the
work of the Christian missionary. -The
denunciation of all idolatory. the wor
ship of the true God. the observance of
the Mohammedan Sabbath, and the
teaching of certain theological terms are
all aids to Christian preaching. On tha
whole, however, most missionaries who
have come in contact with Mohamme
dans, wonld much rather work in places
where they are not to be found."
The Character of m. Otntlman
(Br Cardinal John Henry Newman.)
It is almost the definition of a gentle
man to say he is one who never gives
pain. He carefulJy avoids what
ever may cause a. jar or. a jolt in the
minds of those with whom he is cast.
All clashing of opinion or collision of
feeling, all restralut or suspicion or
gloom or resentment; his great object be
ing to make erery one at ease and at
home. lie has his eyes on all his com
pany: he is tender toward the bashful,
gentle toward the distant, and merciful
toward the absurd; he can recollect to
whom he is speaking; he guards against
i.nreasouaLIe allusions or topics mat m ay
irritate; he is seldom prominent in con
versation and never wearisome. Ho
makes light of favors while - he does
them, and seems to bo receiving when
ho is conferring. He never speaks of
himself except when compelled, never
defends himself -by mere retort; he hsrs
no earj for slander of gossip, is scrupu
lous in imputing motives to those who
interfere with him, and interprets every
thing for the best. He is never mean
or little in his disputes, never takes an
unfair advantage, never mistakes per
sonalities or sharp payings for argu
ments, or insinuates evil which he dare
not say out. - He has too much
sense to be affronted at insult; he is too
busy to remember injuries, and too indo
lent 1o bear malice. If he en
gages in controversy of any- kind his
disciplined intellect preserves him from
the blundering discourtesy of better
though less educated minds, who, like
blunt weapons, tear and hack instead
of cutting clean.- He may be right or
wrong in his opinion, but he Is-too clear
headed to be unjust; be is as simple as
he is forcible, and as brief as he is de
cisive. Nowhere shall we find greater
candor, consideration and indulgence. He
throws himself into the minds of his
opponent, he accounts for their mis
takes. He knows the weakness of hu
man nature as well as Its strength, its
province and its limits.
