I throw out these considerations, but I feel that they are premature. We have not yet conceived a desire to do our duty. "When we have, we may find that duty diflB.cult and costly, but we shall not find it impossible. 28 II. GOD AND MAMMON" RECONCILED. (Eeprinted from the Oontemporam/ Meview, June, 1877.) In February, 1876, I asked the attention of the readers of this Review to some points in the rela- tions of this Country and China, which appeared to me to call for serious thought. Since then..., Parha- ment has twice met ; a debate on China has taken place ; the Margary difficulty has been surmounted ; and still, through all, most of the pubHc instructors preach pleasant things to us Enghsh people as to our dealings with China. They still tell us that we have always behaved and arc behaving weU; and that whenever anything goes wrong, the blame should rest, not on us at aU, but solely on the perfidious Chinese. There is no need, as one of our daily papers expressed it, that we should " put on sackcloth and do penance for the policy we have pursued." Nevertheless, there are not wanting signs that our conscience is not quite at ease as regards our dealings with China.
