THE GODS OF CHINA-No. 1
This is the first of a series of articles describing some of the many gods of China, These articles will be continued every Saturday.
FUK is the Chinese god of happinen. In about A.D. 500, the Emperor Wu Te was fond of having dwarfs ar servants in his palace. The number taken from one district in Hunan was at one time so great that it completely upset family relationships. The Criminal Judge, giving judg- ment in a care, laid it down that dwarfs were not slaves but subjects of the Emperor. Overjoyed at their release from innumerable hardshipi the people of the district set up images of Yang, the judge, and in this simple way the God of Happiness came into being (right).
LUK is the god of wealth. As a holy man he per- formed many wonderful feats. He could ride a black

Luk, who was many miles away at the time, felt ill, fainted and died. He is now a much adored deity and is often represented in the guise of a visitor accompanied by a crowd of attendanta laden with all the treasures men could desire (left),
SHOU or SAU is the god of longevity. He was first a star called the star of longevity. When the star appears China enjoys peace; when it disappears there is war. The present deity is a domestic god of happy mein with a very high forehead. Same- times he is called "Longevity Star Bald Head." He is often seen with a stag and in paintings with a bat flying round his' head. The stag and bat both indicate happiness. The peach, gourd and scroll are symbole of long life (centre).
