Chinese horrors and persecutions of the Christians; containing a full account of the great insurrection in China; atrocities of the "Boxers" ..together with the complete history of China down to the present time .. . Chinamen who are not anti-white, who, whilethey do not bear the Christian religion greatreverence, at the same time respect it as theworship of the white man, and are willingthat it should have its place in China so longas it does not provoke the people to out-breaks. Buddhism has been the religion ofthe nation for so many centuries that anyeffort to rudely displace it immediatelywould lead to war, the end of which couldnot be predicted. The insurrections which are now attract-ing so much attention in Pechili and Shan-tung have really been in progress for thelast fifty years. They have never whollydied out since 1840 and will not so long asthe present political leaders continue inpower in Pekin. I have great faith in theability of the native Chinaman to governhimself if he was educated. Education theWestern world can well afford to give him,because, unless he is exterminated, he isgoing to be in the next hundred years atremendous factor in the labor and commer-cial world.
