READS LI The Utterance of at Sincere Missionar; ed as We Believe As a rule, we are not ready to be lie ve the miraculous stories of foreign missionaries, and when listening recently to a "foreign" missionary, we promised that it would be a long time before we beard another of the same kind. About the funniest, if not the most absurd story that we have read from any missionary, appeared a few weeks ago in the Associate Reformed Presbyterian, where the statement was made that the missionary, in India, we believe it was, was so busy taking in converts that he had not bad time to sbave in two weeks. When we are looking for something to read in tbe religious press along the line of fiction, pure and simple, we read the missionary letters. We find the following floating around in the secular press, and being among the first, if not the first, letter of the kind, whose utterances we were ready to accept as comporting with the conditions which it claims to represent, we copy the same into the Press and Banner: "So Time to Flfhtee Hellcao." | (A letter Irom Shanghai.) Theie is a rumor afloat that meddlesome Uncle fciam is sending over troops, with hostile Intent. But China ignors the.manuever. She has no patriotism, whatever, no warlike inclination?except for the prowling Missionary, and no military ambition. Her deadliest weapon, the knife, is always in active service lopping ofl' the heads of her own too numerous coun- j try men. Manila is author of the Chinese fairy tales that have recently reached America, she would like an opportunity oi exercising the many idle troops which Mwarm throughout the city, and battle-1 ships which line the snores of the Philippines. Nothing but the actual sights seen in China can convey an accurate idea of this intensely Interesting country with its multiplied millions, who iu{ supreme contentment carry on their indescribable existence. It seems an independent world, so long finished and complete in its baibaric customs, that it is proof against progress or modern improvement. Canton, alone, is over populated, and teems with won* ders of past years. Flowing parallel with it ineriverChu Kiang hums with a busy throng whose homesare in rude, little sampans, where they were born, have lived their iives and brought up their children. These, have a uiotinci caste from the laud dwellers who regard them with contempt, and have uick-named the "8hue>" or waterfowl. Thtse, 6huey, are said tolbe under the special protection oi "Tien Hau "the Empress of Heaven." This goddess is supposed to watch o-/er tnose who inhabit the waters. She is held in great reverence by fishermen and boatmen of ail classes. Around her temples and shrines, joss sticks burn continually and her oirth day is ailondc/l with nnmn on/1 luutlvll v ICUUCU fTIKU WMM '?W?. ? -?j For bloodshed in China, Canton's execution ground may truly be aiid to claim gruesome distinction amoug tne famous slaughter grounds of the world. In this gory held, eighteen thoueand men were executed in the year 1855, and in 1856 nearly one hundred thousand men were executed. Even When the Allies were, in the last war, eBcalading the wall, Yeh continued the lively work of clipping off three or four hundred beads a day. In Canton, womeu are beheaded from the tops of nouses which are built over the river bank. Over this vast city of over three million inhabitants, the Romish Cathedral domluates all other buildinga. Its two spires seem inappropriate, but the customs and superstitions of the Chinese declare that with two spires, one neutralises the bad effect oi the other and that otherwise, it would be extremely "bad Joss" to be overlooked by a building so ponderous. The farther one ventures into the interior of China, the greater the danger / and more in evidence, are cruelty and superstition. If in some places there is a tendency toward civilization and humane rule, it is due far more to British influence in China, than to the work of missionaries. British bravery and perseverance in opening foreign trade in this benighted region, is more than praiseworthy : and although the ox i liou ate uitcu uiioiepieBeuieu, China's treasure stores are shared with all comers, irrespective of race; and today in India, Honkong, or any British settlement, protection is offered to all nationalities. EncrceUc Southern BaptlMt Jn t'tiinn. Near a remote villiage far up tbe Chukiang River some ambitious tourists who represent the "A. S. B." settled themselves temporarily. Evidently they were bent more on seeing this world than on preparing the Chinaman for a better one. Not a word of Chinese language could the so called) missionaries speak, nor could the natives speak to them except in a few words of "Pidgeon English" picked up from stewards on the river steamers. The trumpet call of salvation sounded, however, and the good work began. Eager, and full of curiosity tbe natives crowded around tbe missionaries. Without tbe slightest conception of what the well-meaning parWJf son was saying, when be raised his rtiana, hdu id a uigu *ey cuuimauueu "Let all those who have accepted the true and living God raise their handu," up wentthe hand of each Chinaman firesent, and immediately he was enisted "converted" The natives had grasped the idea that aa a special accommodation to the missionaries, they must respond by mute action. Things went on in this way for two weeks, but the test of that conversion was yel to eome. When Chinaman numbei one was led into the river for baptism EE TRUTH. , Least One Honest and 1 y?Things are Report- 1 They Occurred. [ ' he mistook that sacred rite, for oold f blooded murder, and soon a war cry went up among the natives, and later v when then learned that this acquiescence to the missionaries ' wishes was A a violation of tbeir own religious prin- B ciples, they grew more rebellious still, , and resented what they considered an N insult to tbeir idols. The result was, they, with inborn treachery, plotted o the destruction of the missionaries. Three prominent Chinamen, Fatsing, Chow and Ching Wu called on them, a pretending to advocate peace, and offered a sbambattle compromise in the matter. The condition of war being between the supreme Being and their Chinese idols. Tbeir proposition was worded something like this : 'Me you good flein?you me good flem, but me god no likee you God; what for figbtee? Big-man-ta be make fightee he pleasy. Tomollo (tomorrow) have fightee. Me no puttee plum, in Q( me gun, you no puttee plum in you w gun, cause me an' you good flem, put- ^ tee fire physic (gundowder) can do, velly well, make plenty noise, make to plently srnokee, then me no spilum 'J you, you no spilum me." w The engagement came off soon after, CI but not according to programme. "J With deadly intent the missionaries' q good flems made the first attack, but la soon proved disloyal to the cause they represented. With long tails vigor- Dl ously switching, they made a double a quick retreat in dodging "plums" from the 'S. B. M.'s revolvers. But m all the same, some of them did not ai escape "spilum."
