FROM CONFUCIUS TO CHRIST Steady Advancs of Ohristianity’ in the Chinese Empire, CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CONVERTS A Foreeful Deferse of the Much Maligned Ruce—Theie Liberality, Dovotion and Zenl—The Path of Progress--A Question Answered, Can a Chinaman become a Christian i Rev. Frederick J. Masters, D.D. pounds the question in the current issue of the California Magazine, and presents an afirmative ancwer, coupled with an histori- cal sketch of theChinese and their progress from paganism to the Christian fold 'he question whether a Chinaman can be converted 1s ofton asked, says R2v. Masters, not with cynical scorn, but in the spirit of sympathetic appreciation of the immense difMculties that confrout the missionary in his work. In China the vastness of the fleld, the density ot the population, the conservatism 0! the people, the tenacity with which thoy cling"fo national customs and traditions, the philosophical and religfous systems that for forty centuries have molded Chinese fhought aud crystalized their habits; the tremen- dous influence of the clans and ancestral religion are, it must be admitted, conditions very unfavorable to the propaga- tion of a new faith, Obstacles In the States. ‘One might expact to find a more favorable fiela for missionary enterprise among Chi- neso residing in a Christian land, but this is not the vase. The littie credit a Chinaman gots on this coast for his Christian profes- sion; the cold suspicion with which he is often treated, as if ho must necessarily bo a hypocrite; the anti-Chinese sentiment of the coast, sbared even by some ministers of ro- ligion: the appalling immorality and godless- ness of our cities, which a Chinaman 1s not slow 1o detect: iho fresh memories of mur- dered kinsmen, of riois, boycotts and savago oppression,and the frequent hoodlum assaults made upon defenceless Chinese, even upon their women and children, as T havo scen myself, do not make the white man’s ve- _higion, morals and social lifo particularly at- tructiva to the average Chinese mind. ko the face of such gizantic dificulties one can excuso the skepticism that underlies tho question, *“C'an a Chinamwan becoms a Chris- dan{” The marvel 15 that any Chinaman l-ivm receive Christianity from a \hite mau’s ps. pro- Misinformation. Much of the populdr information about Cbinese missions at home and abroad has been gathered from traders, naval officers and globotrotters, who, in ninety-nino cases out of a hundred, hava never been wside of a mission church or school uud are incompe- tent to give iwformation of the results of Christian_ work in China as an average heathen Chinese merchant on Dup street, or i Chinese sailor would b to estimate the Christianity of America. juiged by what he sees on Tar Flav or the Barbary Coast, or the number of white people that he sees goiug to chureh on Sundays, Twenty Vears' Work. In China vearly 50,000 men and women have made an open profession of the Chris- tian faith, have given evidence of a change of heart and hife. and have been admitted to the churches of tho different Protestan missions, In addition to this, it is estimated there are ovor a hundred thousand more who are regular attendants At tho mission churches. All this is prac- tically tho result of only twenty-live years f Christian work. On the Pacilic coast dur- ing about the samo time over two thousuna Chinese have en received “inio our churches after giviog proof of the sincerity of their convictions, Many of these have re- turped to their homes in Chinn; some have #oue 1o colonize missions in the east, while over a thousand rewain with us, That somo have proved false aud brought disgrace apon the ciurch caunot ve denjed. Such cases are not unkuown in Awmerican church Some of the Benefits, That many Chineso have been reached and wermanently benefited cannot be seriously denicd. 'To sce men who were highbinders ‘becoming peaceable and law-abiding; idola- ters becoming intelligent and Godfearing men; gablers that have been, changed into industrious, bouest and upright men; opium smokers breaking awuy trom the chains of an cnslaving vice; and women once tho inmates of the vilest dens of China- town now domestic servants in American houses, or the mothers of Christian families training up their children i the paths of ro- ligion and virtue, are surely trausformations of character that are beyond dispute and are results that no hostile criticisin can assail or 1gnorant ridicule disparuge, An Incident, Judge N. G. Curtis of Sacramento, whoso forensic eloquence has often thrilled our local courts, and whose profession has accus- vomed him to weigh evidence and read char- acter, is a very valuublo witness, Several . years ago e had & young Chnaman in his Tamily who became & member of tho Presby- terian cbhurch, For several years he watched that youug man's lifo very closely, He judged 1t by tho severest new testament tests, e says he found him devout, up- right, honest and true, his spare time being devoted to the study of tho scriptures. The judee's fawily became much attached to him on account of his singular sretivement of character and purity of life. At last he was taken ill, He was nursed with der care during o lingering sickness borne with Christian fortitude, Before he died ho ex- pressed a wish that he might be buried with Christivo people and thav his heathen xins- men should not be allowod to take nis body away. \When the missiopsry camo to attend his funeral the judge daid: “I have been looking for a model Christian life and 1 have found one in this Chinese lad from across the seas,”’ In Sacramento city cemetery there wstands o splendid marble mouument that cost over $1,000, crected at tho expeuse of Judgo Curtis, beuring the name, “Ye Gon Lun,” und tho words, *'Ho lived and died a Christian;" and that costly womb, the noble testimony engraven thore, and tho stainicss record of - that young Chinaman's life are plain, silent, thrilling evidenco suMolent to conviuce tho most cynical mmd that @ Chinaman may becoine a truo Christian, Popular Tho . steadfustuess of Chinese Christians unacr Persecution is & powerful ovidence of the genuineness of their couversion. ‘I'he swpulnr opinion is that a Chinaman professes hristianity for mercenary euds awd can etiange his faith us easily as be changes his cont, It is difcult’ to discover what temporal galn attaches to the Clristian pro- Tession of a man who Nhnas himsel! gastout of family, ¢lan, guild sua empldyment, cursed us he walks down the stieets, and counted as tho filth and offscouring of the earth, During my niue years' residence in South China, three years of which my uission journeys lay ‘in tfat part of the provinee that is the bome of the Chinese in Aweriea, 1 have wituessed what terrible persccution these converts have to endure on their return home. 1 have seen men who, on junouncing their Christi faith, have been lespriea Ly parents, wife wnd brethren; others who have meekly borae bonds aud stripes and impnisonmert becuuso they would not renounce their faith or cease pub- licly 10 teach what their fellow villagers call *'the religion of the foreigu devils.” Terrible Persecution, 1 knew a man who was baptised in the Meth- odist mission in San I 0 Who invested his nard earned saviogs in a lot of ground. ‘When he bogan to build his house he refused 10 cousult the oracle, would not call in, the Puoist priests with tuelr incaotations to drive away the evil spirits.

Woro these men hypo- crites! Did these heroic souls join the chureh for the sake of tomporal gain! Liberality of the Converts. Their liberality to the church is another ovidence of the sincerity ol thewr vrofession of ‘the Christian religion. Taking into acéonnt their scanty means and the 1arce part of their incomo which is sent homo for the supportof pareats and familios in China, their iberality is un- surpassed by any body of Christians in the world. The Chinese of the Congregationsl missions—the largest on this coast—last year contributed #,200 to the treasury of the mis- sicn, In the province of Canton thereis a band of native 1inerant evancolists, puvsicians and colporteurs who are going from village to village preacting the gospel, healing the sick and selling Chiristian books, and the whole expense of this mission is borne by the young Chinamen of the Congregational missions of 15 coast —by men who, we ara told, are i radaemably bad.” I'ho Presbyterian mission Chinese are ly liberal. Besides contrivuting to the expenses of tho work here, they aro sending Pnerous nssistance to the greater work be- ing donc in their native towns. I'ho members of the Methodist Mission church every year contribute from §,500 to £1,80) to the church. They nay their share of all church benevoleuces, not forzetting the poor, infirm ministers of the conference, to whom thoy give from §5) to #0 evory year. Taeir liberality is shown during tho 1ast seven years in gift the great missionary society that them the gospel, amountiug to over 3,500, or apout £500 every year. Not satisfled with this, they havo just formed a missionary socioty, like theiv ‘Congregational brothren, to em- ploy Cbristian workers in their homes, for wkhich purpose they have alreadv raised over $1,000. Io tho Baptist and Episcopal mis- sions, tnere is the same spiritof benevolence. Devotlon of the Converts. The devotion of these peonle to their pastors and teachers is another feature of their character. Such prodigality of grati- wude and such constancy of friendship were never seeii as 1n the relation of flock to pastor in China. The Rev. Mr. Walley, who has just returned from China, was at \Vubu dur- ing the recent riots and tells how nobly the native Christians stood by him and his wife, and risked their lives in their defense when all their Enropean friends had fled. 1 know nothing in history or fiction moro thrilling than s account of tho way these Christian Chinamen raging mob and raging flames to rescue three littio Iiuglish children from a burning mis- sion house and restore them to tho arms of their distracted mother. Ask her if she ever saw a Christian Chinaman. Shall 1 ever forget that September morn- ing in Canton, eight years ago, when the streets ere suraing with a desperate mob 8,000 strong, yelling “D)wn with the foreign devils,” when fourteen fine mausions of the foreign merchants were looted and burnt to the ground. the residents only barely suc- ceeding in saving their lives? Deserted by fellow-countrymen, cut off from succor and with death staring us 1u the face, the only veople who befriended me and my family during the long hours of-that terrible day were Christina Chinamen. It was a member of my church who smuggled us into his house and kept us concealed in a back room. It wasa band of Christian Chinamen of my church who forced their way through the mob, at the peril of their lives, to make sure of our safety, und who, within sound of the howls of the mob, the roar of the flames and the crack of musketry, stood round us in our defense, vowing that no harm should come to their dear pastor and his family os long us weir lives held out. 1f these men were not Christiaus then that word has no mouaning to me, Chinese Ministers, Of the Chinese Christian ministry much might be said in illustration of the capacity of a Chinaman to apprehend and_intelligently expound the highest truths or the Christian religion. Maoy of them are cultured gentlemen who have become Christian mipisters alter throwing up more lucrative situations. The preaching of many of them would do credit to any pulpit in christendom. Their ser- mons, interspersed with apt illustraticns,are packed with thought, profoundly exegetical and forcibly logical. Some are orators othcrs theologians, some bpractical, while others bubblo over with wit and humor., Blameless in their integrity, fearless in their denunciation of error, and suffering day by day contumely and insult, they seem to have come fresh from the apostolic age. There is Rev. IXwan Loy, who preached in the market place of Kau Kong, knowing that offers of a reward of £300 for his head had been posted all pver the town. There is Dr. Sia Sek Oag, a graduate of the Imperial university, who threw up a lucrative situation to become Methodist preacher, itinerating from village to village and preaching the gospel, some- times on less than §3 a‘month. The author of the prizo tract, **Who is Jasus?”, a suc- cessful pastor and presiding elder and four years ago delegate to tho lust Methodist weneral couference, Dr. Sek Ong is worthy a plice in the lighest rank of the Methodist ministry. Among Chineso preachers in California the most brilliant, perhaps, is Rev. Chan Hon Fan, a man of liberal ideas, a good Lnglish scholar and a preacher of singular eloguence and power. No braver thing was ever done 1n San Francisco than bis open at- tack uvon highbinderism while preaching on tho open street of Chinatown a few months ago. On the very spot thata few days be- foro haa been, reddened with the blood of murder, and underthe rooms of a highbinder sociely the crowd stood for au hour and Jistened to this brave preacher openly ox- posing and danouncing the murderous secret socicties thay bad disgraced their nation and terrorized Chinatown. Another noted preacher is Rev. Tong IKcet Hing of tho Baptist nussion, perbaps the best biolical scholar aud closest vhinker in the Chinese church. He has peen called the Chinese Spurgeon for his ready wit, his luminous presentation of trath, and his sub- tle and searching application. Rev. Mr, Wong of the Presbyterion mission is a good, vactical preacher, whose clear exposition and chaste diction make ubim a model for younger meu. ‘Thereis Rev.
