: = . = OPO PSOP DD OOO 89D | THE HEATHEN CHINEE. The relations of the Chinese re

ligions to the three main systems of the West have been so differently set forth by different writers that one hardly know s what to believe. One thing is clear from the testimony ofall his torians: it was by land and not by sea that the gospel, as well as Islam and the faith of Moses, entered China. here are some who would have believe that for their earliest germs of civilization the Chinese were indebted to the Accadians or Highlanders who are associated with the culture of the ancient Babylonians. Scholars have used elaborate arguments to show that the civilization of the Chinese and that ‘the Babylonians had a common origin, that the characters, the calen— dars and the primitive scierce and philosophy of both peoples had a com- mon source. However that be, any connection that could be thus estab- lished, must have long antedated the upgrowth ofthe native sects. The doctrines of Fo or Buddha began to be disseminated in the first Christian century and gradually became the most popular religion in the Empire. The sect ofthe Rationalists had been established long before by Lautze, born 604, B. C. Confucius, born B. C., visited Lantze in his old age. Mencius (Mengtze) was born B. o 400, and died in his 85th year, leaving as a legacy a treatise on morality, personal and political. which is highly prized.. Atwtat time the Jews en- tered China is not kncwn, but their existance there has long been well es- tablished. At Kaifung-tu in Henan, they were found in large enough num- berto attract attention asa distinct people, and were known as Blue-bon- nets from the cap they wore when

worshiping in their synagogues. They were by many considered a sect of uumedans. Over the tablet to

:mperor, which is de rigueur in all Chinese temples, the Jews had an in- scription tothis effect: “Hear, O Israel ! the lord our God is one Lord.

Blessed be the name of the Glory of His Kingdom for ever and ever.” As to the time of their arrival there dif- ferent conclusions have been reached. Some hold that they entered China from Babyion during the period of the Captivity. Others prefer a later period. A like doubt involves the first coming of the Molhammedans, but there is less difficulty in their case, as many Moslem communities have been in contiguity to the western borders of China since the early conquests of the Prophet’s followers.

The arrival in China of the first Christians is supposed co be fixed by a memorial tablet discoveredjn 1625 at Singan-fu in Shensi. Lhe “docu ment commemorated the diffusion by authority of the doctrine knovn as the “illustrious instruction,” and bore a date equivalent to the month of Au- gust, A. D., 639. Evenin English the style is not only Oriental, but Chinese. Learned men, like Father Kircher, S. J.; Dr. Ligge, Dr. Bridge man, Father Semedo, and Dr. Wells Williams have expressed no doubt of its authenticity. At first it was claim- ed that the ir ing Cheietians had ' .s wat aold

this view siill, but the general con-

viction is that they were Nestorians.

Punthier considers the Christianity of its authors very vague. He says that

both Olopen, the priest whose name is mentioned in it, and his companions as well as the Buddhists, who flocked into China in the same century, were {attracted by the generous protection accorded by the liberal Tai-tsoung. He looks upon the doctrines set forth as a medley of Buddhism, Christianity and Confucianism. Father Gaubil observes that there is no mention In the Chinese histories of the introduc- tiun of Christianity at the time indt-

tians of China until the middle of the 14th century. Marco Polo mentions their churches near Nanking. Like the Jews and Mohammedans they had become Mongolized. Corvino’s mis- sion forms a fink between the earlier and later attempts at evangelization. He died in 1330, and Nicolas de Beutra succeeded him inthe see of Chathay, but to little purpose. In 1581 Matteo Ricci took up his abode at Canton, but the Spanish and Portu- 1ese merchants were opposed to his Even St. Francis Xavier had been disappointed and died without effecting much in an islet southwest of Macao.

of the literati, he succeeded in his third attempt to settle in Nanking, where he lectured with great accept-

ance on scientific subjects. A native of Shanghai, named Siu, baptized as Paul, helped him to translate Euclid into Chinese. Paul’s daughter, Can- dada, also proved useful. Finally the Emperor took Ricci by the hand. Ricci died in 1610, at the age of 8o.

In spite of occassional prosecution other Jesuits carried on Ricci’s work, and it was really from the rival Dom- inicans that the evangelization thus accomplished received its most serious check. The Jesuits had shown a cer- tain tolerance to Chinese modes of thought, and especially to their vener- ation for their ancestors, and this com- promise the Dominicans would not re- cognize. ‘The result was that the Em- peror who had welcomed the Jesuits as servants, declined to accept the Pope’s legate who arrived at Pekin in 1705, and in 1706 he issued an edict forbidding any ecclesiastics to settle in the Middle Kingdom. Mgr. Tournon, the legate, who had been made a cardinal, died in confinement at Macao, and through another Pope sentanother legate (Mezzabarba) who for a_ time seemed to thrive at the Chinese court, the edict of Yungching in 1724, and astill severer one in 1736, formally interdicted the teachmag of Christianity. Nevertheless, Rome did not falter in allegiance to the com- mand: Go and teach all nations. A century later eight bishops, 57 Euro- pean and 114 native priests, and 303,- 000 converts had, according to the An-

nales de la Foi, represented the success of the mission. Ty ‘hat time the Protestant churches had also pushed forward their pioneers. The

Rev. Robert Morrison, of Morpeth, was sent out in 1809 by the London Missionary Seciety, and in 1813 the

Rev. W. Milne followed. These devoted men did a great work as lexicographers and translators. The

Americans followed the example some years later, and to one of them, the late Mr. Wells Williams, afterwards a consul, we owe a well known _ history | of China. Some of our readers may have heard Mr. Williams when he lectured in McGiil College, under the presidency of Sir. J. W. Dawson, to a

itifully small audience—the lecture having been, in fact, extemporized. Of the actual results of Christian

missions in Chinait is impossible to ittain a trustworthy knowledge.

The success of missions, like all success in persuasion, is as much due te attractive personal qualties, con- joined with force of character, as to he skill in argument that carries conviction. The loyalty of which [ivingstone’s tree is a_ perpetual witness, is as much a triumph for a great-hearted, loving, enduring man as fer the gospel that he preached -nd lived. Doubtless there have been noble men and women engaged in the Chinese missions and the werk (the medical work especially ) has been its own best advocate. But the success, if judged bythe number of those converted to any form of Christianity, is small compared with the untouched millions. We do our missionaries a terrible injustice when we treat the kinsmen of those whom they would bring into the fold as something hardly human, Practi- cal Christianity is what bears fruit with shrewd aliens, like the heathen Chinee, or religious laissez-faire. It is the preaching without practice that does the mischief.—Gazette.
