And Confucianism

To the Editor of the "Nonrz-CmmwA Dany News"

Sm—The letter of your correspondent who signs himself SAKAMOTO pays a tribute to Dr. Evan Morgan's appreciation of Confucian doctrine, but it is sadly misleading in the statement "that he would put the letter (i.e. Confucianism) in the same category as the Christian doctrines." Intimate knowledge leads me to say of Dr. Morgan that he never knowingly placed Confucian teaching on a level with that of Christ, He was too devoted a servant of his Lord to do or say anything that would relegate Christ to the position of a mere teacher. To him. Christ was the Son of God and the Saviour of the world. Dr, Morgan's regret was that Chinese students did not even try to live up to the teaching of their own religions. At the same time it is a pleasure to realize that his work is so highly appreciated by those who do not accept Christianity.
