The central gate of the Temple of Literature (an it is officially called) is never, opened, for no mortal is worthy to walk in the middle avenue,

so we entered the side gate and found the path

between rows of cedars carpeted for the feet of the mandarins. At · door of the large entrance hall the travelling kitchen with its hot soups was plying a busy trade, and after the sacrifice we noticed that the high officials were glad to avail themselves of its benefit. How much better than a cold sandwich! An hour and a half does not pass quickly in the dark, but time is such a shifting commodity with the Chinese that it is well not to be late; and it afforded us abundant opportunity to inspect the balls and find out how the ceremonies were to be conducted. The day before we witnessed the rehearsal in ansdjoining ball, where all of the sacrificial officers and the posture-makers practised their parts. This was under the charge of a District Magistrate.

The Confucian Ritual gives a most minute account of how the services should be conducted, not omitting the alightest detail. Every tap of bell or drum er note of steel or string instrument is prescribed most accurately, and any deviation would destroy the harmony which is an essential element in their "divine worship." We were surprised at the time required for the services over half an hour the offerings to the ancestors of the sage and nearly one bour in the great sacrifice. Five generations of Confucius' forefathers who are honoured with the title of "kings" are worshipped and to them also animals are offered. This temple is in the rear of the main building and into it we were per mitted to go and watch the Prefect and two other mandarins present the sacrifices. The services are precisely the same in both places.

Animal sacrifices are not often seen in this era of the world's history. Whether the fathers of the nation, going back to near the Nonchian period, were originally monotheistic, we will not theology, so pure and crystal as it flowed from now inquire, but it seems that the stream of the font of Ararat, has been diverted into the channels of literature, and the religious effect is as disastrous as the overflow of the muddy waters of the Yellow River. At the spring and autumn sacrifices ont bull, a flock of twenty-two sheep, and a herdof twenty-two swine are driven to each temple. There is one temple for each department and one for each county, or about 1,500 in all, making the total sum of animals slain each spring and fall about 67.500, or annuallyHE 135,000 offered to Confucius. There are 135 effered in Soochow at each sacrifice. The money paid for these, for the silk which is burned at the close, and for the two feasts to all the attendants, is a drain on the national exchequer. The ritual collects the ancient emblems of religion in the period of the "Spring and Autumn" and they are practised now in the worship of China's great age. No one can witness the scene without being impressed how deep the roots of these venerable cults have penetrated into the national heart. As the Confucian law "can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continua ly make the comers thereunto perfect," there remains but to tell of the one perfect A
