The address was given in Carnegie Music Hall under lh‘s auspices of the Society for Ethical Cul- ture. u Ting Fang outlined the tenets of Confucianism and then argued that China had a religion sufficient to her needs and that missfonaries were in no great de- mand there. He sald the predominating faith of China was that of Confucius. Laotisn and Buddhism were for the de: while China had only one great religior for the living. He sald that at a Chinese funeral priests of all religions officlated, Minister Wu sald that Confucius taught that out of fellowship of man with man proceeded the five relations. They were those of sovereign and subject, parent and child, elder and younger, husband and wife,' friend and frienc “The virtues,” he added, ““are righteous- , propriety, understanding and truth- ss.
