Interesting Address Was Delivered by KR. D. Shimidzy Regarding the Different Problemis----G reat Oppor- tunity for Christian Church, the following very interesting dress on Ching was delivered of the Christian at Portsmouth evening, by KR.

Many ohsirvers have been lookibg on Chink ts a "sleeping elephant," but the uative people have been proud of call ing her un "sleeping lion." Whethe China is an elephant or a Hon only time will tell, and my present paper will tell you something of China in the past, poict out how the revoln- tionary movement has come to take place, and also. give you some idea of the actual social conditions in that land, : The Chinese race, which: is general: ly called *"Hoavg-ho" in tne native language, . declared she independence against the Pekin government, in the year 4609, of the foundation of that empire. 'Ibe culeulation "of this era is very doubtidl, and so open to cri- ticisn. Bit no scholar has so tar discovered amy authentic historieal materials hy which the Cltaese ers enn' be otherwise counted. in this way we ave compelled to pre-supposy that the calulauion is * provisionally trie in so far 8s it is put in the Chinese chronicle. But you must re- member 'this : ' 'That however doubt ful we maybe about the exact urith- wetical ealovlation of the era, therg » no room for doubting that more than four thousand years have passed chendy since the Hosbg vate came to Central China.

It was during the last three cen- buries, that the decadence of the Uhi- ese nation became extraordinarily re- lo «un follow ing compeilest at Lee were occupied by foreign powers. It is A sort of wonder that the Chinese could stand the Manchu dynasty for over two hundred and sixty years. I we compare the population of the Chi: nese, with that of the Manchu, we find that the proportion of the former to the latter, canpot bé 'less than three hundred to one. The Chinese exceed not only in number, but als, in intel- legt. Perhaps, the latter half of tha statement, when predicated of an in- dividual, will not be true: but i it is predicated of each race collectively, it holds good. In the history of China you will find that all the remarkable artists, philosophers, statésmen und such-like came from the Chinese race, t not from the Manchu. "I'he Mun- chu race {rom its beginning to our day never produced a single character ol intellectual type. Of course, there ap. peared among the Manchus a few min: was hot native to the land of China; it wigrated from another place the valleys of the Hoavg-ho (Yellow River) over four thousand years ago. The original home of the race id nut well known. but it' may he safely on. serted thibt this race had inhabited somewhere near the Kuem lnen because a pieat many Chinese legends and myths refer to thos: mountains. Irovious to the migration of the race to Uhina' the valleys of the Houng-ho hatl been already occupied by another tribe; but this tribe scoms to have given -gway to the pew- comers. The southern part of China had been inhabited by another tribe which tribe still survives, keeping to theis own traditiors and manners. And the northern part had sheen also settled by a warlike tribe which seems to have been far more power ful than the southern tribe, Toe Hoang race which took possession of the central part of Clima wes fro guently attacked by both the north- ern and the southern tribes, but fin- alle it gained, the upper hand oyer both sides. The loader of the Chin. eo race is genevally known by the name fen-vang; but this name seoms to me to have besn not an individual but a collective name applied to the whole race. (This. is my own' su- position from the very meaning of that word). After the death of this leader the name, Kwong-dai was ded- ieated him, and the Chinese people coll him by the later name. - This loader, Kwong«lai, is suppesed to be the ancestor of the Chinese race, and the revolutionists olaim lo restore the inherited power of the descend: ants from Kwong-dai, which power has been so long kept down by the outsiders. Now Jet us see how the power of Kwong-dai's deseendants game to svrrender to the outsiders... The death of Kwong-dai was followed Viv a serine of wars and as a matier of course notion kd rise against nation and Finrdom neainst kingdom: the power of the Chinesa race an a whole, how- ever, was never transmitted' to a fereign race; Chine wns always gov- Suden Changes Many Cals And Colds Are the Starting Polat of Serious Diseases. by Using or generals to northern districts of China," imder the "that [tated in the Pelin court until her re} mountuius before it came to China, !Waordinary who trampled down the hoofs of horses.

'Ihe secret move: ment was confirmed by the racial feel ings, which are very strong among the Ulunese people, who are 'proud to say that they are the direct descendants of Kwong-dai. 'Ihus, the relations of the rulers to the ruled became wore and more bitter. Un the other hand, the sovereign power of the Manchu teu down to its very lowest, chiefly be- cause of the corruption of the our life in Pekin, of which latter-day Chinese Mary Stuart is typical. In the meantime the secret organization took advantage of this situation, and mal: ly it declared the independenee of Chi- na hy the name of the ancestor KRwong-dai. Therefore, is can be said that Chinese revolution is not a mere selfish anarchical movement, but the restoration of the power on the part of the native race. This is the his torical interpretation uf the present Chinese movement, Next, let me consider, Ly calling to mind the actual condition of euuca- tiop in Ching, whether or no the re public which has been provisionally s- tablished in the south 1s fit for that Innd. "First of all, 1 should like to call your attention to the conservativ tendency of the Chinese mind. No oth- er nation will be more conservative than thy Chinese; it is a well-known characteristic of the Chinese mind, to keep to its own traditions and his tory. A new order of things seems to them to be bitterly bostile. In cus toms, manners and literature they faithfully observe the threadbare for- mulae "set forth by their ancestors. 'Fhe Chinese social lite is full of man weiimns. which to us ave really wear some.

This is the . na tive doctrine of ghibhic morality which was fiekt formulated yy Confucios apd altérwards modified by later scholars. 'this doctrine is based on the rigid order of class distinction. 'the moral [formula runs thus: A ws A and B is iB. But there 1s no C by means . ol which the A and B ean be connected or identified in some respects. Taat is to say, a King ix a king, a subject is a subject and . parents are parents, children ang children and so on. They do not teach the principle by which king and sibjects, parents and chil dren can be brought to an equal foot- ing. In other wards, the idea of na- tural nights of individuals is unknown in the mstory of Chinese thought. In the Chinese language we cannot find any corresponding words to such as "meat," "liberty," "or "personality, 'Ihis is no goubt a weakness of Chi nese civihization, the torch of whieh was kindled over four hundred vears ago Therefore, I'womdered how many (hinese people can gonceive themselves as members bi state, under tue iden of eivie right or duty on which the very idea of modern state is oases.
