SOME TRUTHS ABOUT CHINA.
FORTHRIGHT" STATEMENTS BY A MISSIONARY,
COMPELLED TO ABANDON HIS STATION.
Very
interesting observations were made at a Wesleyan mision- ary meeting at Ravensthorpe. York- sire, by the Rev. Arthur J. W McKay, who was recently compe 1- ed to abandon his Wesleyan mis-
sion sution in China. He prefaced his remarks by saying that he was no politician, because he belonged to no party. He simply spoke a Christian missionary. It would appear, he said, that there were people in London, judging by all they said, who had never been in China, but professed to know a great deal more about the country' and the people than be knew, and he had lived there for years, "Hards off China they say he continued. "What do thay know about China to enable them to advise what should be done there!

I said to one old man,.,' How long have you been in here 1' 'I don't know,' he ngswered. Who put you in 1 I asked, and he mentioned the name of a certain magistrate. I may say that the Chinese raagistrates rarely petain office for more than six months. He is a very good man if he occupies the position for year. I asked an old woman the question, How long have you been here and she answered, 'I don't know.' When are you going but She did not know. Not one of them knew why they were in prison. How had they got in? For instance, two men might be in business, and Mr. A., in order to get rid of the competition of Mr. B.. goes to the magistrate and Bays, Here is so much money; put Mr. B. in prison, and the magis. trate puts him in prison, Mr. A.'s business NOW flourishes The magistrate leaves his poet in a few months, and poor Mr. A. remains in prison, forgotten. That is why you hear of a whole army in China going over from one general to another, because the latter has more money in bis pocket than the
