[TUE KING OP DEVILS.!
[
[ By Rev. S.C.Todd, Macao, China.
^?JfcftJi^t: l?-fct<Jifi ?????? Urifrlli
The scenea within the houso would
perhaps have been of greater interests
to you than the funeral proeession.
True to the Chinese custom the cere
monies there were both elaborate and
protracted, extending through forty
nine days, seven periods of seven days
each. As the house was near and one
of the sons-in-law quite frequently at
tended our services we decided to take
advantage of our opportunity and get a
closer view.
One cannot easily forget the impres
sions received amidst such scenes, and
could you too have seen these your
heart would have been moved as well
as ours.
We entered immediately from the
street a long outer room and the sights
there at once riveted our attention. To
our left was a gigantic figure of paper,
and we could but wonder what monster
that could be. Seated on a raised pedestal,
with a body of no small dimensions,
with outstretched arms and with a face
by no means very peaceful and with
glaring eyes ho was a sight to make
one shudder. Before him incense was
burning and wine and food were dis
played.
But who is he? "The King of De
vils," some one replied. "But that in
cense, that food placed before him,
what do they mean?" you say. Ah,
there you have touched the heart of
heathenism, you have laid bare the
core of her sin. What do they mean?
The worship of Satan?that is the re
ligion of the heathen. Paul says: "The
things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they
sacrifice to devils and not to God."
Mind you this is not in a home of pov
erty and ignorance, but where wealth
is counted by the tens of thousands.
Do you wonder that with the worship
of Satan as the religion of the heathen
that missionary work is a battle and at
times a battle royal. "We contend not
against flesh and blood but against the |
principalities and powers."
The Chinese believe that the atmos
phere is infested with many evil spirits,
who dog one's steps to bring disaster,
affliction and suffering. These are es
pecially connected with deaths and fun
erals, and lurk very near at such times.
They are hungry spirits, they have
need of clothing, and consequently pa
per garments and food arc offered in
worship, which are supposed in some
way to be transferred to the spirit
world, and lest there be contention
amongst the spirits by some failing to
receive, and the angry ones be led to
send punishment upon the family these
offerings are committed to the King of
Devils, who divided them out amongst
all the demons that none may have a
grievance.
You will notice in the picture two
women standing on either side of the
King. These do not properly belong
there, but as I only had permission to
photograph the outer room the son-in
law brought these from the inner room
and placed them where I could get a
picture of the three at once.
Like the King these girls are made of
paper, and they represent servants.
One carries a parcel for her mistress,
while the other, the one to your left,
has in her hand a water-pipe and paper
taper. Notice her costume, please, the
hair is coiled to the right of her head in
a favorite way with Chinese girls, her
shoes have knobs underneath them like
those frequently worn in well-to-do
homes. These figures are burned and
thus transferred to the other world
where they will serve the departed wo
man.
Turning to the other side of the room
the walls are covered with scrolls, re
presenting the Budhist conception of
hell, while near these are altars and
mats where the priests or nuns go
through their incantations. These de
ceased having died in child-birth she is
supposed to be in a hell of blood. For
forty nine days nuns chanted their
monotones endeavoring to transport
her spirit from her place of suffering
and absolve her punishment. On the
thirty-fifth day they break hell open
and send a light to direct the spirit of
the sufferer into the presence of the
king of Hell, then all the malicious
spirits are arrested and the soul-saving
Buddha is petitioned to open the golden
bridge leading to happiness.
Across a narrow court we come to an
other room, where is resting the coffin
and all the paraphernalia of the inner
and most sacred worship. The woman's
picture hangs upon the wall, while be
side it, underneath it and before it are
ancestral tablets, burning incense and
an altar laden with fowl, wine and
other marks of worship.
Do not think for a moment that these
are used simply in reverence and out of
respect for the dead, as we would place
flowers on a grave. No, no! Here is a
system of worship, a scheme of salva
tion. You and I commit our souls to
Christ and trust Hirn to supply every
need beyond the grave, but these see
the departed still in need, hungry and
naked, writhing under their sufferings
on account of sins committed in the
flesh, and they seek to extricate them,
Our religion leaves all to Christ; theirs
makes food and clothing their Saviour.
How false their hope, how insufficient
their Saviour, how hopeless their fu
ture!
Beside the altar is a miniature paper
boat in a small dish, representing the
passing of the soul from its place of
punishment to the sphere of bliss.
A little farther away is the coffin in
the midst of much paraphenalia. It is
the custom in many places for Buddhist
nuns to stand beside it on the thirty
fifth day and silently road the incanta
tions for the reception of the spirits
from tho lower region.
Certain members of the family sleep
on mats near the coffin. In the caae of
a father's death, the widow and chil
dren sleep thus during the first seven
days, while during the day they sit on
mats upon the ground. Food is not
?ooked, friends supplying what may be
needed; chop-sticks are discarded and
the hands used in eating to show their
deep sorrow.
I cannot soon forget the sorrow that
filled my heart as the son's bed mat
near the coffin was pointed out to mo
and there by it lay an opium pipe. The
helplessness of these souls 1 Here is
the son in the heart of worship, with
its forms all about him, and he himself
is chained under the power of sin. The
mother is dead, with paper figures,
food and incense as her saviour. Pity,
pity, do you say? Then come and tell
them the true way, come and point
them to the Saviour that takcth away
the sin of the world.
Can a ray of light enter such sur
roundings? Gathering the women, the
younger children and Buddhist nuns
about her, with the men standing far
ther away, and scarcely more than an
arms length from the burning incense,
Mrs. Todd told them the story of the
Crucified One, of a place where there
was no suffering and of a present whose
sin could be broken by the power of
His name!
To Trustees of First Methodist Church:
Gentlemen: Don't allow your church
to pay 8 cents per wood.
If they buy 100 pounds of White
Lead fn kegs they get 88 pounds of
White Leaof and 12 pounds of wood;
but when they buy L. & M. Paint they
get a full gallon of paint that won't
wear off for 10 or 15 years, because L.
& M. Zinc hardens L. & M. White Lead
and makes L. & M. Paint wear like
iron.
4 gallons L. & M. mixed with 3 gal
ions Linseed Oil will paint a moderate
sized house.
C. S. Andrews, Ex-Moyor, Danbury,
Conn., writes, "Painted my house 19
years ago with L. & M. Looks well to
day."
