To the Point.—

A fine specimen of telling sarcasm is reported on the part of the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco. Somebody asked him if he thought the reports were true regarding the intention of the European powers to partition China, and he answered suavely: “No, it can not be—of course not. Why, these are Christian nations! Germany is a Christian nation, Russia is a Christian nation, and France is a Christian nation. They would not do what is attributed to them, because the rule of Christianity is to do unto others as you would be done by.” And all this would be true if these were Christian nations. But all past history has shown and all future history will show that they are not Christian nations.
