A CHINAMAN ON CHRISTIANITY.

I have read the history of Europe during the Middle Ages, and Ihj account there given of persecutions caused by difference in religious belief has filled me with horror. We have no such records in Ohini Jews, Mohammedans, Buddhists hive lived there peacably side by side It is only when indiscreet Christian missionaries go to extremes and excite tbe people that they ever have any trouble Christianity owes most of its converts in China to the fact that it is more alluring than any religion we hive there. The idea ot a future life and rewards for the righteous is tempting to many. Confuc'us teiehes no such doctrine. He was once asked if he believed in a future life, and he answered "If I don't know what will take pi ice to-morrow, how can I know anything about a more i emote future ?"' He exhorted men to do their best to day with no thought of reward. That seems to me the higher view.— Wu Ting Fang. ia the 'Chrstiaa Commonwealth.'
