Excerpt from The Open Court, Vol. 42: Devoted to the Science of Religion, the Religion of Science, and the Extension of the Religious Parliament Idea; October, 1928 Thus far, however, no one has attempted-to make such a sum mary for China, at least no such attempt has come under the present writer's Observation. Perhaps it is still too early to do so. Since so many Of the revolutionary changes that have come about in China have occurred in the very recent past. Nevertheless it does seem possible and worth while to enumerate at least some Of the more prominent tendencies observable during the last quarter Of a cen tury. Some special articles of high merit touching certain particular tendencies have appeared in the journals but nowhere have the various tendencies been brought together in a summary.
