CHINESE WORSHIP.

In different parts of China altars are erected, or hewn out of some great rock, which are dedicated to the worship of heaven and earth. In the southern part of the city of Peking such an altar stands facing the Temple of Agriculture. It is the duty of the emperor to perform public worship yearly at this altar, tho he sometimes does it by proxy through some high official. The worship of heaven and earth is universal throughout China, and the officials all over the empire are obliged to conduct this worship. How much better the Gospel of Christ, behind which stand all the sure promises of God, than this false and compulsory worship, out of which nothing good has come or can come!
