METHODS OF REFORMEIN CHINA AND THEIR NET RESOLTS,
(Being a paper read before the Shanghai Missionary Association on the 5th of Maya)
BY DR. GILBERT REID,
IV.
(13.) In February of last year, a startling Edict was issued, abolishing the old prohibition of intermarriage of the Manchus and Chinese,

of the existing reforms. It was Philips Brooks who once said, "Christ never cared to re-shape circumstances until I had regenerated. It is very wonderful to me to see how thoroughly His disciples caught this method. Almost instantly, as soon as they began their work, they seemed to have been filled with a true conception of its divine method,—that not from the outside but from the inside; not by the remodelling of institutions, but by a change of character; not by the suppression of vice, but by, the destruction of sin, the world was to be saved." Keeping in mind these

May 13 Shen Chia-pen, a Vice-President of the Bad of Punishments, and W Ting-fang, who was then Minister in Was hington, were ordered to draw up a digest of laws such as could be included in the Chinese legal system. I know it is the intention of is Excellency Wu a go on with this matter; but I think it very plain to us all, that such a task requires the help of many legal experts, who at the same time are not rulical, and do not fail to appreciate the character of the laws already existing in China and adapted to the Chinese.
On
everything foreign, but by reverting to moral principles. For example, a former Governor of the Province of Shantung, Li Ping-bêng, was noted as extremely hostile to everything foreign, but he was spoken of as the most honest official in China. A few years ago I sent him a docu- ment on reform, in which the moral element was made supreme. The Governor wrote me a personal letter expressing his hearty approval, the nnly letter, I think, he aver addressed to a foreigner.
In examining the questions of reform in China and their net results, we may fail to realise the vast complexity that is found. (5) In the development of these reform

If immediately under him, and they in turn call this is carried out, one of the points in the upon their inferiors.

Peking seem to the Chinese a needless burden, much as if some l'epartment at Washington or in London should undertake to control all the and retail, houses and shops, wholesale throughout the whole country, ther than to allow each man to manage his own business. Only a few hundred years ago every European country had the system now prevailing in China, But as the system has changed in Kompe, so it must change in China if China is to hold her own. The task, however, is more arduous than was ever undertaken in any other country. It will not be mere child's play. Nor can reforms he rushed through by an Imperial Edic: or by visionary, hot-headed reformers.
Moreover, the complexity of the problem is intensified by China's international relations. She is not left to adapt in her own conditions any proposed system, but in every move she must question its bearings on her foreign policy. Japan was given a free hand to learn from any scource she pleased and to employ any instructor she pleased. Not so with China. A person of one nationality invited as adviser or instructor, arouses the jealousy of some ather nationality and brings about complica. tions.
(15.) In connection with these different re- farms commanded by the Throne, we ought not to omit a reference to a really very import- ant reform in the social life of the Court and the high officials on the' me siile, and the re- presentative families from abroad on the other side Those only who have known from per- sonal experience the obstacles that have stood in the way of such friendly relations in the past, of the suspicion and espionage that have prevailed, can appreciate the importance of the change, in spirit and in practice, among the highest in the land. Considering the character and the past conduct of some of the high perTM sonages, who are now receiving with open arms the ladies and gentlemen, with their childern of our home lands we may with reason be dis. satisfied, and even disgusted, but none the less we should not close our eyes to the significance of the change that has thus taken place, since the return of the Court to feking. We have always argued that impr ved social relations between the East and the West are the found. ation of mutual understanding and mutual I believe that this is equally so in the peace. present social situation in Peking.
We have now given the outline of the re- forms of the present régime of the Empress Dowager. A few things should be noted in characterising these reforms -
First: Most of these reforms are similar in character, and oftentimes in language, to the . reforms promulgated by the Emperor in 1898. It is a striking fact that though it is understood that there is still disagreement between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and though the Edicts of the Emperor at first were countermanded by the Fmoress Dowager there is, at last. this agreement in the reforms of both. Sec nd: Most of the reform Edicts of the present régime were promulgated prior to the return of the Court to Peking, for the most part, extending from June to November of 1991. From this fact, it may be surmised with good reason, that the reform measures were a politic move, rather than the outcome of sincere conviction and an awakened con- science. But even so, we should rejoice that a beginning is made in reform, and that apparently the Throne gives its countenance to reform. Third: It is a striking fact that
All in all, I am inclined to think that there has been an advance in the favour with which the Government looks upeņ reform. In some respecie there has been almost a revolution in the policy of the Govern-
ment.

means friendly toward foreigners, have been the advisors of the Throne. If reforms have been thus initiated amid conservative sur; roundings, what may we expect when pro- gressive men are at the head of affairs. Fourth: It is hard to believe that no reform has been intended.. I, for one, do not believe that the Court has been merely trying to "throw dust in theeyes" of foreigners. The Empress Dowager, until the coup d'état of 1898, was generally regarded as rather progressive and open-minded Apply in her temperament and public policy. Since the experience of igro, she has more than ever shown this to be the case. In an interesting Edict that appeared October and, 1901; it was again stated that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were one at heart and that the adopTO SPACIOUS CO
