“...CHAPTER L GENERAL SURVEY, 191U (A) Review and Outlook. (B) Leading Events in 1911. By the Rt Rev* Bishop J. W. Bashford, D-D-, LL.D. A* Review and Outlooks IT is impossible for us to duplicate for the China Mission Year Book of 1912 the brilliant review of Chinese events which characterized Dr. Arthur Smith's introduction to the opening volume, or the full and detailed information which characterized Dr. MacGillivray's review in that of 1911. Indeed we have deliberately abandoned the effort to char- acterize in detail the movements now taking place because these movements are not yet sufficiently developed to reveal their final outcome. Placing as a supplement to our paper, therefore, the barest outline of the events of the year, we aim in the present review to put hope into the hearts of helpers. But times of danger like the present demand well grounded hope, not mere illusion. In order, therefore, to strengthen our hearts for the struggles which are before us, let us attempt to discover...”

“...1() CHINA MISSION YEAR BOOK. Egypt. This fact alone makes China notable among the nations of the earth. (2) We have in China the strange phenomenon of an arrested civilization. Chinese civiliza- tion, beginning before the founding of Greece or Rome, advanced until it reached substantially its present stage about 500 B.C. and then halted until 1900 A.D. Sub- stantially the same type of tools for hoeing, digging and plowing, substantially the same methods of irrigating the soil, substantially the same method of making roads and building bridges, substantially the same style of boats and houses as prevailed in 500 B.C. prevailed in 1900 A.D. Families were organized on the old basis of complete parental authority down to as late as the present generation. The government was theoretically a pure despotism from 2,000 B.C. down to the death of the late Empress Dowager. Slavery and polygamy have existed in China during all these years. The compass was known twenty-six hundred years before Christ...”

“...this long sweep of Chinese history perhaps they will furnish some ground for hope amidst the uncertainties which now surround us. Let us, therefore, study in detail each of these four facts. I. Cause of the Early Civilization of China. Civilization, like every other movement on earth, is subject to the law of cause and effect. Life from life is as true of mental and spiritual progress as of material ad- vances. The attempt to demonstrate the emergence of a lasting and progressive civilization out of sheer barbarism, with no contact with any higher source of life, is as vain as was the attempt to demonstrate the origination of physical life from dead matter. Applying this principle to China, a study of the Tem- ple of Heaven at Peking leads many sinologues to the belief that this worship originally was connected with a knowledge of the true God, and possibly connected with His original revelation to peoples in western Asia. According to Chinese tradition, the race originally came from western...”

“...1() CHINA MISSION YEAR BOOK. According to many competent western writers, there are traces of a connection between early Chinese civilization and the civilization of western Asia. Other writers, however, hold that China's civilization is indigenous. While the weight of authority is decidedly in favour' of the earlier view, it matters little which theory we adopt as to the proximate cause of Chinese civilization. Either there is an historical connection between the Chinese and those receiving God's original revelation, or else the Chinese learned the invisible things of God from the things which were seen, even His eternal power and godhead. The cause of China's early civilization, therefore, was communion with God and the reception of life and light from Him either through her early connection with the nations of western Asia, or else, through Him who is the true light which lighteth every man coming into the world. II. Causes of the Arrest of China's Civilization. But a second and more...”
