CHINA IS BEING
TURNED UPSIDE
DOWN IfJ CUSTOM
Colleges, Hospitals and Mis
sions Have Changed the
Old Order; Missionaries
Given Credit.
Pekin, June 28. (By Mail)
China is being turned upside down.
The dust of centuries is being re
moved. The heritage of dead civil
ization is being discarded. Men are,
raising their eyes to the dawn of
new things. Women are drinking
deep from the chalice of equality.
Old gods are being confounded. Old
supersttitions are falling away. The
false is fading into oblivion before
the true. ,
China is being turned upside
down. The old order changeth. The
heathen has prayed to idols, and has
praved in vain. Scholarship'! no
loneer confined to the robed priests
of Buddha and Confucius. Schools
and colleges are changing that. The
diseased no longer die unheeded.
Hospitals and dispensaries are
changing that. The dogs no long
er lick the sores of Lazarus. A con
sciousness of social justice changing
that.
China is being turned upside down
and the ambassadors of the New
Freedom are the missionaries of the
church. It is they who are doing
this thing and China knows it and
is impressed by it and is glad of it.
Service of Education.
And net the least of this work is
the work being done by the Episco
pal church. Her ambassadors are
giving to China a service of educa
tion and inspiration. And it is to
improve this service, to enlarge it,
to make it greater and deeper and
more beneficial that the church
looks to its nation-wide campaign
for that compaign is to enable the
church to accomplish her whole
work both at home and abroad and
to encourage her members to partici
pate in just such duty as turning
China upside down and breaking the
bonds that still bind her to a dis
tant past. '
Today in the homes of Chinese
Christian one finds the wife at the
table with her husband and her
daughters there, also, for daughters
no longer are regarded burdens but
are sent to school and cared for
equally with boys. Nor may a man
keep conciihines and divorce his wife
at will. All that is p'ast and forbid
den and cast down. The false is
falling into oblivion before the true.
Not long ago in -China suffering
and' distress were everywhere and
the halt, the lame and the blind were
seen helpless, hopeless and often dy
ing in the streets. Now hospitals
have been established, dispensaries
ars in operation and orphanages
have been erected. At first the Chi
nese thought the missionary doc
tors were scorcerers; then they
thought they were incomprehensible
mysteries; now, though they still
cannot understand why they do so
much good for nothing, they see that
good being done and are forced into
a position of continuous inquiry,
And thus are they brought into
touch with the principles of Chris
tianity.
Church's Educational Work.
Of a similar nature is the im
pression made upon them by the
educational work of the church. One
has only to turn to the work of the
two Episcopal universities, St.
John's and Boone, to understand
why this is so. From these univer
sities have come such men as Well
ington Koo, Chinese ambassador to
the United States; Alfred Sze Sao
Ke, ambassador to Great Britain; W.
W. Yen, minister to Germany at the
time of the outbreak of the war; I. C
Suez, of the board of foreign affairs
in the Central government; Phillip
Tyau, in the Chinese legation at
London; T. T. Wong, director of
Chinese government students, who
was -recently assassinated at Wash
ington; Y. T. Tsur, president of the
Tsing-hau government college for
U. S. A. indemnity students at Pek
in and C. T. Chao, vice president of
that college; L. N. Chang, the only
Chinese lawyer admitted to the
western legal association at Hang
kow; Y. J. Soo, founder and presi
dent of the Shanghai High school,
a private scnooi witn auu pupns; i.
H. Wu, head physician of the Nan
zing municipal dispensary; Y. N.
Zune. head physician of the S'ung-
Lkiang city hospital, a private insti
tution, and a host of others in the
government and in educational and
hospital work.
In just such ways is China being
turned upside down. By education is
the dust of centruies being removed.
By inspiration men and women are
raiising their eyes to the dawn of
new things. Through the ambassa
dors of the church is the false fad
ins into oblivion before the true.
And that the ambassadors may be
sunoorted and succored and made
firm the nation-wide compaign of
the Eoiscooal church in America
comes to encourage her members
to gifts and service.
One Year In Workhouse
To Cure His "Love Bug"
Chicago, June 28. William Bel
lamy, colored, sought to demon
strate his affection for Ada Scott
with a razor.
"Why so violent,", queried the
judge the day following.
"Can't say, Jedge," replied Bill. "I
was jes plum crazy. I must have
been stung by that love bug."
"One year in the house of correc
tion and $100 and costs ought to
take that love bug out of your sys
tem." "Yes, sah; o-o-o-o-o- yes, sah."
moaned Bill; and started in on the

Vienna, Mav 31. (Correspon
dence of the Associated Press.)
Conditions in Budapest and the sur
rounding country under the fanta
tic government of Bela Kun and his
soviet are grotesque. It has just
become known the Countess Rada
is scrubbing stairways in one of
the city prisons. Count Julius
Szechenyi, 90 years old, formerly
master of the king's horse, is one
of those who has incurred the dis
pleasure of the ruling forces. In
spirte of his age, he has been forci
bly removed from his home and im
prisoned. What disposition will be
made of him is not, likely to reach
the public until it has been ordered
and executed.
Everv room in the handsome
marble palace of Count Louis Kar
olyi, the former Austrian ambassa
dor to London, is occupied by some
one of the vaunted proletariat, with
such results as might be expected.
Stovepipes stick from the lacecur
tained windows, and the silk-covered
walls are smoky, grimy and greasy.
Protective covers have been torn
from rich divans and handsome
chairs to be used for dishrags.
Costly bronzes., chipped and muti
lated, are being used as playthings
bv the proletariat children.
It is the same in the handsome
residence of Count Andrassy next
door, where squalor and dirt are rap
lpdly replacing the magnificence and
polish of a happier flay.
Day by day comes the news of
increasing violence on the part of
those who are in power. The latest
instances have to do with Ludwig
Nawy, former president of the Hun
garian parliament. He was seized
at his country home and while be
ing taken into Budapest, was taken
from the train and shot to death by
the Red guard who gave as an ex
cuse that he was trying to escape..
Altogether the situation in Buda
pest is rapidly approaching the
point where there will be the cus
tomary appeal to the "great big-
hearted America" to feed and clothe
the people. Security of life and
property is growing less with every
week and the once magnificent city
is rapidly taking on an appearance
to which its people have hitherto
been strangers.
Neglect of agriculture is one of
the outstanding features of the situ
ation. It is estimated that 50 per
cent of the tillable soil has not been
plowed, partly due to the disorgan
ization and demoralization occa
sioned by an order of the soviet
which forced landowners to raise
the wages of farm laborers from five
crowns to oU crowns per day, and
also to give them butter and milk
without any charge and to see that
they were properly clothed.
The appeal to the United States
for help is expected to come chiefly
trom the people who have done noth
ing to work what few fields are now
under cultivation and who never had
many clothes or felt the need for
them.
Rat Plague In England.
London Brown rate are increas
ing so rapidly in rural England that
they have become a plague and the
Board of Agriculture is preparing
for a campaign against the rapacious
rodent Immense loss of wheat has
been caused by the rats. la soma
districts unthreshed stacks have
been riddled with rat runs and are
almost falling in. It is estimated
that a grown rat can eat two ounces
of wheat a day and spoil much
more. -
