BEBLIN, January 4th The present exhibition of Chinese water- colours on silk and paper at the Royal Academy of Arts in Berlin, said by the collector, Fran Olga Julia Wegener, to range from the eighth to the 18th century, will doubtless prove as attractive in London, whither it is shortly to be removed, as it has been here..

LORD WILLIAM CECIL ON HIS MISSION TO CHINA

THE GREAT UNIVERSITY IDEAL.

The Rey, Lord William Ceoil, rector of Mat- fald and son of the late Lord Salisbury, was to leave England, for Chine on the 1st inst., travel, the by the Siberian Railway. The object of the mission is to assist, if posible, at the found stien of a Chinese Christian University; but the view of recent apponings in Chin the prospect of success in the enterprise is none too encourag ing. Lord William himself is not over sanguine as to the result..

A Daily Chronicle representative found the rector of Hatfield surrounded by a crowd of happy village chilton at the annual school breat

"I am going out" he said, "as the repre- entative of a very infantial committer, com posed of Oxford and Cambridge University undergraduates, to try to assist, if possible, at the foundation of a religions, Christian saxl elucutional naiversity, which is intended to be a means of bringing happiness to the millions of Chinese now in misery, by teaching them the principles of god government, and, what, in more important, by bringing knowledge of the Gospel to all.

hope that this University will train the statesmen who will guide China through the diffealt period of awakening and reform which is before her. Whether we can succeed or not in founding such an institution is in God's hands, but all we can say is that we have hope, and it is certainly worth while my going out to China to try to make that hope a reality.

AN EDUCATION CAPITAL

"I am going to find out first of all the best town in which to start the mission, and also whether it will be advisable that the mission shall be attached to an existing institution- English or American-or whether it will be possible to start one independently.

"I hnderstand that in China, at the present time, there is a real and a great desire for Western edpention; but the Western edus tin which she has received hitherto, especially

Tokyo, has been associated with such materialistic teaching as to rendor it rary demoralizing, and as such is naturally disliked by all thoughtful Chinese of all shades of opinion

On the other hand there can be no question that Western knowledge is an absolute neces- site, and our desire is to assist in a great move- ment that has already been made to give to China Western knowledge associated with Christianity.

"The committee is inter-denominational, having representatives of all the leading deno- minati ns. To mention a few names, there are Sir E. Bator, the Rev. J. Carter, the Bishop of Bombar, the Rev. Canon Foakes-Jackson, the Ron Dr. Barber, and about ifteen other well-known men.

hér

..THE RECENT AWAKENING. *There is no doubt at China isa waking from prgy, but the recent change in her policy may profoundly affect all our plans. The fal of the progressive leader is like a bolt "from the blue; and it is quite impossible to try to form an idon of wist wide-reaching effects that may have. Our plans may perhaps fail through this change, not because they have not been wel! conceived, but because we may find that, under the existing cirenmstances, this is not the right moment for us to begin our mission.

There is no doubt that the awaking of China has been brought about by the improved means of comannication with this and other countries. You see we have come nearer to each other, and are now only about fifteen days journey away by the land route through Siberis.I'am going to China that way, as it will save unch valuable time, and I am anxions to get there as quickly as possible. Then I shall be able to consider what is best to be done. "It is only within the last few years that the Eastera mind has changed suddenly from an intense dislike of Western ideas to a very much more favourable attitude, so that now the Church has an opportunity, which it

may Dever have again, of winning that xast nation to Christianity I only hope we may be successful,"

Lord William expects to he absent three or four months on his mission. He informed Benter's representative that the lines on which the committee desire to found the new centre BUY FROM, of learning are those rather of co-operation than of competition. While each college or hostel of the University will be under the control of some mission body, the union itself, like 'Oxford and Cambridge will not be attached to any one body or denicmination. The University will concern itself chiedy with the teaching of arts, scierice, and engineering. The colleges, as in our own Universities, will be responsible for the moral welfare and religions teaching of the students.
