10 CELESTIAL CRISPINS AS CHnISTIANS. The North Adams {hinamen Becoming Tho- roughly Americanized. - How They Make Shoes, Attend Chureh, Prink Gin, Gamble, Talk English and Behave Generally. The Result of an Eight Months’ Experiment—“ Make Way for the Coming Man.” NonTu ADAMS, Mass., Feb, 23, 1871. Tits now eight months since Mr. Sampson made for himself a patioua! fame by introduciag the Chi- Bese Into his shoe factory, to tne Invense indignation of the Crispins, and in the face of the hostility ot a Asrge portion of the other inhabitants of North Ad ms. To-day it can be safely said that no body of men are more generally popular here than the Chi- mese, They are rapidly becommg Americanized, and, perhaps, Christianized, Many of them speak English passably, most of them wear Amerivan clothes on Suuday and attend church and Sabbath school, nearly all drink Americaa giu, some of them aifect American girs, and all seemed to be ded with te idea that to be Ameri canized is to acquire the key to wealth and power, Your correspondent, daring his present visit to North Adams, was forcibly strack with the great changes in the manners of the Celestial since he last betield them soon after their arrival last spring, and some of the most notable of thelr im- provements he will Gescrive forthe beneilt of the mullion readers of te HERALD, JOHN CHINAMAN AS A SCHOLAN. Nine days after the arrival of the Chinamen tn this town—on the 22d of June, 1870—the Rey. G. D. Pike, one cf the secretaries of the American Missionary Association, had a consultation with the clergymen of the town in regard te the best measures for Chrisuaniing them, aud it was determined, as a primary move, to present each of the Celestials with a copy of the New Testament printed in Chinese. The Testaments were duly procured and given, avd on the 10th of July a Sabbath school was organized in the dining room of the Chinamen at Mr. Samps' ctory. Some forty or fifty teachers voiuiteered, under ithe supermntendence of Mr, George W. € ampson’s agent, who foru About the inese put themselves under thelr he work of conversion was begun. brought the ¢ A). The first step, of course, was to teach them the alphabet. This, on account of their great power of imitation aud memory, was quickly done, and with the stance of charts and “first” reading books, tne Cel were s00n able to read with considerable Quency. Then English Testaments were given them, that they might be compared with the Chinese version they already pos- sessed. Now nearly all of them can read through the first chapter of St.John quite readily and seem to have afair idea of its meaning. Lately their lesson has been the Sermon on the Mouut, aad its precepts seem to be deeply appreciated by them, Charley Sing, their interpreter and leader, not failing to re- mark the similarity of the monitions to some of the sayings of Coniucius. Sing, by the way, never loses an opportunity of vindicating or palitating the customs of his native land, and some of his “hits” at our peculiarities are exceedingly sharp and witty. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL as held every Sunday afternoon, at four o'clock, the only fatluce since its eommencement being last Sunday, when the Celestials were celebrating their New Year, and when (teil it Dot in Gath) the picture of the God Quein-Kong Was banging up on one of the dtaing room walls, with burning candles and overings of food before him, and also—so say some of the seotfers—pros- trated and Kneeling Chinamen, though this last, of course, Was Wien the outside barbarians were sup- posed to be ont of the way.

Friday evening (he Chiuamen gave a supper, tn the crylug room ol Mr. Sampson's lactory, to their Sriends in the tow. Some 100 gentlemen and ladies were present, inclading Mr, 5 — and his wile, the Key. Washington Gladden, of the Cougregation- alist church; the Rev. br. Sandford, of tue Baptist church; the Rev. Mr, Grulin, of we Metucuist churen ant the Rev. Mr. Jennings, of the Episcepal churea, and Judge James fT, Kovlngon, of the Norte Agams i7ranscrivt. So many guests were present that the Chinamen could not sit down themselves and use a Kniie and fork, as they had intended to do, 80 they contented themselves with waiung on we party aud aiterwards flourtsning their cuop- sucks at & second table. Was there ever such a scene before 1a this country? Seventy-five almond- eyed Celestials, half civilized, according to our potions of civilization, their hair sprout- ing out of their scaips like so many black bristles, clothed partiy In American and partly in Cbinese costumes—serving Viands lo a hundred and fifty Massachusetts Yanxees, 1t was an epitome of the nineteenta century, bvery idea, net ou, preju- dice, custom and mauner of the guests und hosts was in direct Opposition to the other. Each ind Viduai 0] cach party 1a Bis secret heart looked upon the other as barbarian aud an outlaw, and yet the stern nece: of commerce had made them ap- pear as inumate friends. And in another light it was a singular event. Eight montus ago the entertainers of the evening narrowly escaped a mobving, and now, so far a3 outward appearance Went, no more popular person- ages Were ja the town, Tue viands consisted of the usual concomitants of a supper—scailoped oysters, Silads, ice creain, cofee, &c, When they ha! been discussed speeches were made by Mr. Chase, Mr. Sampson’s bead ussistant; the clergymen aud Judge Koomeon, watch Were duly uterpreted by Charicy Stug. ‘The festivities Were terminated wiih the dis- chatge of 20,000 firecrackers, THE NEW YEAR'S SPRES. On Saturday it rained hard and the Celesttals re- mained in their quarters all day, enjoyiug a free and easy ume. A Visit Lo their rouims Was at Ouce enter- taining and instructive. The first piace entered was Wie dining room, which 1s also weir sitting room. Here were about two-thirds of them in the height of Chinese hilarity. Hung on the wall, right Opposite tie entraice, Was the picture of the good Quein-Kong, aud below 1t @ small altar, with offer logs ol fruit. In iront of these was a table spread wit refreshments—duise, verimiceili, caudy aud oranges. These everyoody was pressed tu partace of. Alittie further @iong Was the band, the mem- bers 0. which Were making day hideous to the iull extent of their enormous powers, ‘This band, by the Way, iS evidentiy regarded with the greatest riae by the Celestials, Its music considered jwaveniy, and the performance looket up to with respect and admiration. To give ihe HERALD readers un idea of Chinese music they are informed that the iustraments consist of Uuree keilie druius, three gongs, a pair of wooden cymbals, and @ Wind mstrumeut, resemb.lug an innocent coruet in appearance, but (horror of hor- Tors {) in soand resembing the Concerted braying of Six dUapidated fish horus blown by six stalwart Calitnompiags ona Fourth of July morning. Ima- glue each performer of these delicate instrumen:s playing with all mis might Auwerican ears and eyes, vn his own hook and you may have some idea of the pandemonium into which your cor- respondent was ushered., Just beyoud the musi- clans son halt a dozen Ceiestials were seated arouud a table gambling for United States currency. Tue implements were turee small dices of copper, = marked with Chinese characters, and the game seemed to be somaewnat m the methed of the Dutchman’s “keno,” where ope Man wou atd the rest eaid, ‘Uh, h—l!’ Some one has suid that the Mexican haif breeds are the greatest guinblers inthe world. He could never have seen Cuigese gumesters. Here Was, perhaps, sixty cents dependiug on a throw of the coppers. Une Of the men rises to mak- a cast, ten a!mond-shaped eyes glare at lium {roi five chrome-yellow Laces, his Own face not less saffron- hued tuan theirs. All 1s still as death around the table, though the band 1s raging like a score of agonived wmeuts ted by force to as many screech owis, After afew feints the cast is made, the cop- pers face upon the table, aud tnen ensues @ scene like nothing else this side of the Pacific Ocean. One Cain mouth expands with exultant delight one pug bos? dulates with triumph, and two Mon- golan feet dance ip ecstacy. Ihe otuer five yell with dismay, roli their eyes and gnash their teeth in frenzy, and chatter and gesticulate like so many angry monkeys. Theo the money 1s passed over to the winaer, aud silence is restored tll anouber tarow as been made, when the same scenes are re-en- acted, Meanwhile the musiciaus perform without intermission. In other parts of the room were Chinamen piaying chequers—taeir game seeming to differ from ours only in the greater number of pleces and squares, The rest were varteusiy en- gaged in smoking, chatting, sleeping, &c.; no eating, for on New Year's day no Chinaman can eat tu! after sunset, They nad plenty of Caluornia wine, cigars and tobacco sent them by compatriots In California, and were evidently enjoying them- selves in the most orthodex Cninese marher. DO THE CHINAMEN DRINK? Your correspondent was given to understand by soudry friends of the Ceiestials that they never in- duiged in ardent spirits; but be Das reasou to doubt the assertion, During his visit to their quarters he observed one of the cooks putting a number of bet- Ues into 4 basket, and ou his Way back to the Rueh- | mond House he happ.ned to see tha old gentleman, accompanied by two aids (tnree Culnamen being 2 smallest number Competent to coasummate & bargain) going into a liquor store, Curious to eee what they wanted, he foilowed after and there bened the following transaction:—The Chinese aivance to the counter and look steaafastiy at the barkeeper, Who looks back stead/astly at rhem. Getting sick of the staring process the var- keeper bows, whereupon the Cetestiais bow back and grin in unison. ‘the oid cook pow thinks it @ proper ime to commence negotiations; so, carefully removing the cloth from the Lop of the basket, he takes out a quart gettle, places it on the counter apd says, in—how much?” Buarkeeper retiects and says, “One dollar.” Tae Chinamen hold a con- tien, finally coaclude the pice is right, sig- thelr acauiescenve and the bottle 15 filed.

THE ORIGIN OF CHRISTIANITY. Closing Lecture by Rev. Dr. Wise—A Jew- ish Re‘ormer’s Estimate of Jesus aud St. Pau A very excellent audience gathered in Steinway Hall iastevening to listen te the closing lecture in the course, delivered by Rev. Dr. Wise, of Cin nav, on the “Origin of Christianity.’? His first lec- turé related to Jesus of Nazareth, his next to the Aposties, and last evening Paul was treated of, Few and far apart, said the lecturer, appear the stars of history, Strike out about one hundred names and you have no history. The world is a@ machine shop, and every man is making his part of the great machine, but one mind combines and puts =the parts together and we call him the master machinist. Such a mas- ter mechanic was Paul, In him was resurrected the spirit of Jesus, just as im Jesus the spirit of Joho Baptist was resurrected. The concentrated desire of his mind was toward the DENATIONALIZAION OF THE JEWISH IDEA of an exetustve God end a peculiar people and the promulgation of a universal faith for all men, The debased condition of the Romans, Jews and Greeks ac the period of Paul’s ministry was described by the Doctor, They were ready to believe anything, provided 1t was absurd enough. All whom Paul met in his travels were Judalzed Greeks and Romans, whose minds had been bru- talized by the sensualism of the Cwsars and truth had been brought into il repute, To this was added the steady decline of the Jewish state and the Jewish religion, and in its stead came super- stition, ‘This state of affairs was high!y favorable to Paul's stupendous enterprise. “Who is Paul?” the Doctor asked, aud answerel by running over the names given to him in the New Testament, the Talmud and other writings of the day and the representations of him. One of bis names signified his theology because he was the author of THE SON OF GCD DOCTRINE of Christianity, His early training in the school of Gamaliel, his character as a zealous Pharisee, ana other traits were referred to; his vision on the way to Damascus was declared to be spurious because Paul himself never refers to it, and it cannot be proved by history and is purely the invention of one of nis companions, Luke or Silas or some one else, Mis trausitivn {rou Judaism to Cnristianity was ac- counied for us urising irom the depravity of the Aoulan courts aud rulers, and the misery and de- gradatioa ia waiel hs people, his Kinsmen accord- ing tu tue flesh, Were Nein, He tell into mysticism, aud sought COMfort Bud peace among the tombs, frum Wueuce he Merged torth a demouniac prephet, deciariog taal be wad seed Jesus, Unat he had been caught up to Paradise and lieard unspeakable taiags Which 16 Was not lawiul for a man to utte aod to Lis maddened brain and bewilvered mind all ue mysteries of Heavea appeared intelligible, ‘The Ravbinieal wyste: MODERN TKANCE MEDIUMS.

He passed 1roi the law school of the Phari- see to the new school Of Chrisuanity, and une central figure wuich te beheld in tie iransition he called the Son 0: God, Witoge fame he went forth to procidam. Paul's Jesus corresponds exactly to the Cabausts’ lage Of Delpuus, it Was the object of Jesus to recunsirucy “tue kingdom oi heaven” here, but be Was crucified. ‘Lo vaui’s mind he had risen again, and, tuere.ore, Israel would be saved irom Komsn oppression. He seizea upon the Jewish nauonal idea that the world would come to one God and one uit, and be came forth from his mysucal paradise’ a new prophet to redeem Israel. He started out with tue idea that ail the World Was guilty, and that tie Messish must Leeds come, But wneu he went to Damascus he found out that the peopie were not ready for is new doctrines, aud he uad # nariow escape from vapture by Aretas aud his soldiers, who guarded the city, Bub Paul was let down vy the wali in a basket like the spies ot old, and escuped. This fauure did not discourage him, however, se Was not a man to be discouraged with difticuiues, it convinced him that HE WAS YEL TOO YOUNG for the work of reformation whica he had under- taken, He must have been about twenty-one years oid at this ume, He then retired to Araola and spent three. yeurs in contemplation and study—how he should uafuri the banner of tns new religion to the word, [lo A, D. 53 ne appears in Antioch with hus newW gospel, aud there his foliowers were frst called Christians, aud there Cnristianity Was first Jounded. Paul telis us that he spent fifteen days in Jerusalem, but he neither consulted nor advised With any o1e regarding the promulgation of his new doctrines. He was original and re- ceived his revelation airectiy from God. The Son’ of God and Son of Mary were phrases as popular among the heathen as they were foreign to the Jews, Paul therefore started out with ue docirive of the resurrection, tue abro- gation of tie laws of Israel aud the assertion that only their precepts were binding. Jesus, he said, Was the last sacrifice, He made a vicarious atene- ment for ail. The gods of the heathens were not spirit; hence Paul’s crucifed one was caugat up In te body and sat atthe right hand of God. This doctrine could ve easily understood and believed by men who beileved that Komulus aad Cesar bad also been translated in the body and would return again. Paul’s characteristic doctrines were the Son of God, Jesus; the kingdom of heaven, the vicarious atonement and the second coming of his ascended Messiah, But Paul knew that acctrines alone Would not multiply converts. Aence be pro- ciaimed the SUDDEN DESTRUCTION OF THE WORLD and the things that ure therein and enforced tt with such eloquence as to crush to the ground his super- stitions auditors, aud then he huried at their sore heads all the crimes and follies of which they had been guilty, His success in founding churches, bis numerous travels and trials, wis diflerences with tne coliege of aposties in Jerusalem, who refused tw acknowledge or recognize, until after a time Peter, James and John, gave to him the right hand of fellowship. The rest of the aposties never did. Theycould not fergive him for going to the Gentiles; bat Paul was sensible enough to silence them @ Liltie by begging money for the poor saints at Jerusalem, He nad changed their religion and given them a new mytiology, Son of God, of which tuey had not known. They could net accept his toial abrogation of the law and consent to be led by the pkantoms of hope, love and faith, against which James argues in his epistie wito ail tue fervor of his soul. Tuey could not forgive him for these things ana for his doctrine of the kingdom we heaven when they looked for a kingdom on earth, nis was 700 MUCH DISAPPOINTMENT for them and they could not stand it. He was ar- Tested, appealed to Cwsar and was sent to Kome. And while before he had not @ word to say against the Jews or the Pyeoents of Judaism, he now launches polemics frem his prigon house against his associutes and brethren in Jerusalem, who had nota word of sympathy to offer. They could not meet his arguments, and hence we have but one side of the case presented, and that by Paul. To give the heathen true ideas of God, of sumanity, of ireedom and of justice, which must some time break the chain and cmancipaie man—this was the mission of Paul, Jesus’ pure theoeracy, Peter's Messianism, Paui’s Son of God doctrine and John’s Logos. These jour systems of theology have been githered and blended into one and Christ has been adopted instead of His religion. If the theocracy of Jesus must prevail then all creeds and dogmas must fail and Goo be ullin all. I see it, said the Doctor, but not now; 1 behold it, but not nigh. Free- dom and humanity, justice and leve in the name of God, this 1s right religion, ‘Todo this is Chriguanity; to leve it is true worsiip. Men like Jesus and Paul, Whose aim is to benefit humanity, deserve the stu- dent's most careful study and researcl. ‘They are the grandest types of humanity. Thanking the audience, the Doctor closed his eloquent lecture. LOUISIANA LEGISLAT!
