Excerpt from English Life in China Hong Kong - Jericho - Timbuctoo! Are not these names used indifferently to represent the extreme of remoteness? Do not nine out of ten, even among well-informed English gentlemen, consider the first named a place with which we have little in common though it be a British possession, or at all events of little momentous interest? And are they not of opinion that its contingent loss need not, to any material extent, affect our national prosperity? Yet Hong Kong, apart from its military and naval value as our most advanced outpost in the far East, and from its commercial interest represented by an annual average British exchange of about forty-two millions sterling, is marked by characteristic advantages unparalleled in any single one of our other possessions.

Excerpt from Village and Town Life in China Many books have been written about China by Europeans. The present volume is a book about China by two Chinese. They are, moreover, Chinese who have had considerable opportunities of studying other forms of civilization than their own, having lived in England as students for some years. Mr. Tao obtained the b.sc. Degree in Economics at the University of London in 1913, and is now lecturing on Sociology in the University of Pekin. Mr. Leong took the same degree in 1914, and is still a student in the Sociological Department at the London School of Economics. Both have interested themselves especially in social philosophy and the comparative study of institutions, so that if they justly regard their own institutions with the feelings of patriotic Chinese, they are able equally to see them in relation to the customs of other peoples, and to review their merits and defects with a certain detachment. No doubt their point of View is not always that of the English reader. But, on the other hand, the point of view of Europeans who write on China is not that of Chinese, and for the full understanding of a great Empire, which.

Excerpt from The British in China: And Far Eastern Trade This book has been written in the hope of interesting the British and the Chinese in the development of the vast natural resources of China. It was commenced in the early days of the war; many Of the ideas set forth were thought out during the long night-watches on searchlight duty. Notes for the book have been jotted down in queer places and in various countries. Some were made on steamers off the China coast; others in a sedan chair in a Chinese city; one was written in the Forbidden City in Peking; and yet another in a Chinese gaming-house at Canton. A few are survivals of pre - war journeys in Siberia, the United States, and Canada. One was put down in Egypt, others in Europe, but the book was written in hong-kong. The self-imposed task has given me more pleasure than any other piece of work, not excluding scientific research, which I have been able to finish. In times of disappointment, after my day's work was over, there was always encouragement in the wonderful story of men of my own race in China, and I have turned to the task now ended for relief during those long absences from home life which are inevitable for those of us who live in the Far East. Perhaps the chief stimulus was the desire to record some facts which I want my three boys, now at school in England, to appreciate. For they spent with me many happy hours of their young lives in China, and I hope that some day they will be ready and eager to maintain the best traditions of their race. There have been, as always, difficulties. First of all, there was the groping for the desired information and finally the less exciting, indeed the distressing, duty of eliminating much of it. For in its original form the book was at least twice the Size of this volume; but it became Obvious, even to the author, that neither a sympathetic reader nor a kindly publisher could maintain an interest in such a long story.

Excerpt from Life and Sport in China The British public is greatly handicapped in forming an intelligent appreciation of happenings in China by a lack of that initial experience which can only be gained by residence in the country. In this little work I have endeavoured to place before readers a sketch of things as I saw them, and to convey to their minds an idea of how Europeans live there, of their amusements, of their work, and of those things which are matters of daily interest to them, so that my book may serve as a kind of preface to that enthralling volume, the current history of China, as it is daily revealed in the press, in magazines and in learned works. While confining myself herein to the lighter side of narrative, I am not unconscious of those intricate problems and deep studies connected with the Far East, but to which profound research and matured judgment must be applied, though information there on, even when collected and published, would appeal mostly to the narrow circle of experts on matters Chinese.

Excerpt from Child Life in China After a while I learned to speak to them in their own language. They would follow me in large numbers along the narrow streets, and gather round me wonderingly as I sat down on the green slopes of their city wall.

Excerpt from How England Saved China In saying this they fail to recognize how much the England of to-day owes to the missionaries who brought Christianity to it, when it was barbarous and uncivilized. Neither have they read the history of other lands and marked how some of them have been elevated by English missionaries, and how the English flag is looked upon as the symbol of freedom and justice, in a large measure through the heroic services of her sons. If Africa could speak today, she would declare that the horrors of the past have been swept away through the devotion of Living stone, one oi the most distinguished of English missionaries, who gave his life for that dark continent. That many Christian men and members of Churches should speak in the same strain is still more distressing. The command of Christ, clear.

Excerpt from New Life Currents in China The present hour is a crucial one in the history of China. Never has she faced such unparalleled Opportunities Or been confronted by graver perils. For a time her very life seemed to hang in the balance. But we believe the real crisis passed with the sudden ending of the European war, and that the changes sure to be brought about during this period Of world building will strengthen and make permanent the country's foundations. China is not like ancient Egypt, Whose greatness has departed though she still lives on. China is a vital force whose largest possibilities of develop ment lie before and not behind her. A new, fresh life is beginning to course through the nation's veins. How can this new life be fostered so there will not be the awful waste which has weakened China almost to the breaking point? The conservation of the physical, mental, mate rial, and, above all, the spiritual life of China and the Chinese people at this present time, - What a theme for our consideration! It will be seen that I have said but little, except indirectly, about the work being done in China by more than six thousand missionaries representing over one hundred mission boards of the British Empire, the United States, and Europe.
