Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nestorian Monument in China More than nineteen years have passed since he wrote this article, and his article, short as it is, speaks volumes as to the genuineness of the stone itself. Every work on the Nestorian Monument in China after 1897 by European as well as American scholars contains some quotations from this article of his. Indeed without reference to his work the study is not complete. But he never pushed his investigation further, or at least he did not publish the result of his investigation as he promised at the end of his T'ozmg Pao article. On the other hand, Dr. Kuwabara saw the very stone at the very spot a few years ago. He published his Opinion on the stone in the gei-erm, the organ belonging to the College Of Literature of the Imperial University of Kyoto. As he is so well versed in Chinese literature and history, it goes without saying that his descriptions of the Monument and his observations on the Inscription are very valuable, whilst his bibliography is complete. But to our great disappoint ment he, too, did not go beyond the external description of the Monument. From the nature of the work he intended to do in his article perhaps he wished to avoid entering into the textual criticism of the Inscription.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nestorian Monument: An Ancient Record of Christianity in China Orders were then issued to the authorities to have a true portrait of the Emperor taken; when it was transferred to the wall of the church, the dazzling splendor of the celestial visage irradiated the Illustrious portals. The sacred traces emitted a felicitous influence, and shed a perpetual splendor over the holy precincts. According to the Illustrated Memoir of the Western Regions, and the historical books of the Han and Wei dynasties, the kingdom of Syria reaches south to the Coral Sea; on the north it joins the Gem Mountains; on the west it extends toward the borders of the immortals and the flowery forests; on the east it lies open to the violent winds and tideless waters. The country produces fire-proof cloth, life-restoring incense, bright moon-pearls, and night-lustre gems. Brigands and robbers are unknown, but the people enjoy happiness and peace. None but Illustrious laws prevail; none but the virtuous are raised to sovereign power. The land is broad and ample, and its literary productions are perspicuous and clear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nestorian Monument in China It is with the greatest pleasure that I recommend this book. It opens up a new view of the origin of much of the Far Eastern civilisation. Undoubtedly that civilisation has been largely effected by the Mahayana Buddhism, and that Buddhism has always been acknowledged to have had close relations to Christian teaching, but the exact path whereby some of the Christian atmosphere has permeated Eastern civilisation has never been so clearly traced before. The Western reader, while he must remember that the book is written from an Eastern point of view, will find much to interest him. Apparently the mistake made by the Nestorian preachers was that of being ashamed of their faith, and trying to recommend it merely as a branch of Buddhism. There is always a temptation, and always a danger in Mission work, to soften down the edges of our faith, to represent it as something not so very new, not so very different from what is already known; such a policy may avoid immediate difficulties but afterwards it tends towards defeat; the Christianity which has conquered has been that which is urged with distinctness even amounting to harshness. It seems as if the compromising nature of Nestorianism was the reason why, when Buddhism fell, it was entangled in that fall and then forgotten.
