SOURCES OF THE ANTI- FOREIGN DISTURBANCE

IN CHINA...

SUPPLEMENTARY.

BY THE REV GILBERT REID, D.D.

(Front N. C. D-News.)

IL

The second source of the rising against foreigners in 1900 was the missionary pro paganda. In our previous discussion in 1893, this formed the two closing divisions. If the missionary propaganda, whether as seen in foreign missionary or native convert, whether Protestant or Roman Catholic, caused friction in the earlier disturbances of China, it may be taken for granted that it had something to do with the uprising of 1900, it may be true that | it was the misconception of "the church," rather than "the church "itacif that aroused the people and the officials, yet even 'sa it is a satenciom that if missionary work had not been here, it would have trade no trouble; its very presence was enough.

We have already quoted the views of the Governor, Yü Hsien, concerning converts in the German Mission in Shanturg. He was very emphatic as to their spirit of antagonising and inciting the people. · And it was in Sowh Western Shantung that the Hoxer movement originated, The Chinese officials no doubt should have kept the peace, even under aggravating chicumstances, and the Chinese people should have observed the law, even when treated unjustly, but the failure to establish friendliness on the part of Christian adherents helped to bring on the great international

collision.

On July 18th, 1000, when an infornal armistice began for a few days in Peking, an edict appeared, sing: "The reason for the fighting between the Chinese and Foreigners sprang from a disagreement between the people and Christian converts." It is quite likely the Chinese officials have indulged to excess in denouncing native conveits," but their very persistence in such denunciatory remarks shows their feeling and makes clear, their reason for countenancing the persecution of Christian adherents.

they can bring themselves to form a Iss apart, and invite their own destruction (by remaining Christian). If they will change their heans (i.e., recant), there is no reason why they should not be allowed to escape from the net. The Viceroys and Guvemors of the Provinces are therefore to give orders o all inent officials to issue the following notification: All those among the converts who repent of their former errors (recant) and give themselves up to the authorities, shall be allowed to reform and their past shall be ignored (No reformation needed by the Boxers,) As hostilities have now broken out between China and foreign nations, the missionuries of every country must be driven away at once to their own countries (an order widely observed), so that they may not linger here and make, trouble (Avery, missionary is a nuisance). But it is important that measures be taken to secure their protection on their journey (much like the order to protect the Legation and escort the Ministers safely to Tientiso), Let there be no carelessness. (need.)"

From this published Edict of the Throne, we can understand very well what the highest in the land thought of Missions. The view here held is the one which generally prevailed

at that time. The missionary might be com- plimented to his face for his own virtue, but ha would still be told that the converts were a bad set hoodwinking the missionaries. The mis conception of all missionary work was as dense as the adness of the whole Boxer movement. Allowance may be made for the Chinese officials in their hatred of missionaries and .converts, but for foreigners to criticise the missionary who has been the chief sufferer is equivalent to calling in the vang ard of civilisation. He is the one who has he'ped to open doors and make the Chinese familiar with European ideas, he who has horne the burden and heat of the day in the wok of civilisation is scarcely the man to be pach-poohed by those who hope at the eleventh hour to reap the reward of his labours. Instead of ordering the vanguard to withdraw from the conflict, the authorities might form plans to follow up its advance and to mal ethe victory of civilisation. I take it that any one engaged in legitimate business, secular or religious, in any part of China, and holding a passport, should be pro-

Christian missionaries have been allowed to travel, reside, and work in all the eighteen provinces. Hence they have formed the van- guard of Western civilisation. And speaking generally, who could be better chosen for such. a position? They are at least creditable representatives of civilisation in morality, in intelligence, and in generosity. They know the language of the people and are as fairly well informed as any on Chinese custonts. Leave out the missionaries, and little would be known of China, while few would be the facilities for others to travel and investigate. The labour of the missionary is a splendid illu tration of enterprise and devetion. Without reference to his manners or dogmas he has done enough for the cause of civilisation to be respected and defended.

countrymen cannot but call the guilty to account. Though China declared war against Treaty-making Powers, a hundred thousand Chinese in the United States (including Wu Ting Fang) remained unmolested though educated men and women from America were cruelly massacred in China with official con- nivance, often times offici :) initiative. The deaths of these pioneers of western civilisation have called for redress; their heroism deserves commencration.

Nevertheless, the work of proselytising, even without a thought of asing compulsion, inevit; ably causes friction. "Any demarcaton between Christian Chinese and other Chinese, "whether in conduct, custom, belief, or influence, will cause jealousy and suspicion. This demarcas hon, it should be noted, is being constantly emphasised even by the Chinese officials who complain of the converts being under foreigners and yet are not willing to treat them as other Chinese in ⚫rdinary matters. If Christian converis, because of their religious require- ments, are exempt from certain exactions of custom, or if because of their connection with their foreign teacles they are favoured or even rightfully protected, a feeling, of spite and resentiment may be expected to arise. Christians, like most Mohamedans in China, could live in communities apart, carrying on any business they pleased, free to observe the customs of their religion, much of this friction might be obviated. But missionaries as a body

Yet ever since the upheaval of 1900 the mis- sionaries and their converts have conie in for a disproportionate share of blame for the events of that year. But the missionary work of itself could never have produced such a popular up- heaval. It is true that in certain places Boxers had quarrels with native converts, but the main object cĺ the Boxers, as of the Govern- ment, was to drive out of the land all foreigners and all persons and things, connected with them. Missionaries as a class were inore seriously affected because they were, and al, ways have been, the chief European factors away from the ports. Seeing that converts were the easiest to attack, they at first seemed the sole object of the people's wrath. - All past offences and resentments were concentrated in this one uprising, and Government officials rang the changes on "bad converts," "cri minals in the church" "disreputable Chris tians," till even the Foreign Ministers were well-nigh persuaded that the only idea of the Government was to defend the Boxers against lawless men in the church. Needless to say,the passions of the people in 1900. As the the agitation of words outstripped the facts, taken at even their worst. Under these cir cumstances Boxers found themselves .coun- tenanced by the officials, while the native con verts we e berak of friends. It being safe, and even laudable, to attack the converts, with no emphatic protest from foreign governments, th next natural thing was to attack the, foreign missionary, and then any other foreigner within each,

At the height of the successes of the Imperial Forces and the Boxers in 1950 there appeared, on and July, the, fallowing striking edict, showing the inner mind of the, rulers, of the land: “Evensince foreign nations.begah, the propagation of their religion (missions.being regarded as a political movement), there have been many instances, throughout the country of ill-feeling between the people, and converts: * All this is duo in faulty, administration on the

Put it down, then, that the missionary pro- paganda, as usually carried on, will produce fiction, and that it had much to do in arousing

propaganda for many years was carried on by cerrain emissaries, and through certain methods, it hastened the threatening collision. Chinese may have been more irritated and offended by experimees since the overthrow of the Government plot, but in furthering that plat missionaries and their converis, missionary methods and even the truth itself, were a factor of considerable force. Any offence that the Church hal ever committed was brought to memory, and though passion and imagination were exaggerated. The Church as it appeared to the mind of both Chinese people and officiale was something to be hated, was an evil, like opium (as Prince Kung once temarked), im posted into the country, and an encuny, like the foreigner to be fought and expelled. Thus it was that the missionary propaganda helped to feed the animosities of igco.
