a. July 28, 1928 WINNETK A TALK 21 Rev. H.G. C. Hallock Writes on Chinese Monkey-God Legend The echo of the Darwinian dispute is more than nine-fold; its legends and its various aspects rebound as often as antagonist and protagonist have an idea and the breath to expound it. The Chinese had an idea about the common ancestry of man and monkey before Darwin's great-great-grandparents saw the light of day. The Rev. H. G. C. Hallock, mission- ary to China, has become interested in the "proofs" of the theory, according to his letter written June 20 to the editor. He says he has handled photo- graphs of an islander with a tail four inches long, and in Japan he has seen a stuffed calf with a human face. The Chinese of old say that a mon- key, except for his face, became not only a man but a god, and has his temples and is worshiped in China. The legend of the monkey god, ac- cording to the Rev. Hallock, follows: Hatched From Stone "The Chinese say he was hatched, by gentle zephyrs, from a stone egg on a rocky mountain, to be a delight to the uppergod. But, alas, he was a trouble-maker. He was ambitious and his exploits caused him to be acclaimed king of the animals and to wax strong. Through Long-Wang he got an iron rod which he could expand at will to span the sky or contract so as to fit in his ear, a magic wand. Pu-ti taught him how to fly and how to change himself into 72 different shapes. What he could not do is hard to say. But as he gained in power, and his friends said he was worthy to rule heaven, he wished to do so. "Many kings made league with him and celebrated it with feasting. But our monkey got drunk, and while un- conscious he was taken to hell. He awoke, overcame the powers of hell and escaped. He was accused to Yoh Wang who thought to keep Monkey quiet by bestowing upon him the title "Heavenly Horse-Keeper." He was elated; but learning it was an empty title, he, in fierce anger, smashed heaven's gate and overturned the throne. "The upper-god called upon the hosts of heaven and hell to overcome the monkey; but in vain. After the mon- key's victory the upper-god, in fright, conceded monkey's demands, made him a god, conferred upon him a real title, and allowed him to live in heaven in a grand castle. But monkey-god was not godly! He would steal, steal- ing and eating the peaches of ever- lasting life and, from Lao Chun's pal- ace, stole and ate his pills of immor- tality. Doubly immortal, proud of his powers, he constantly mocked the other gods. He became unbearably overbearing. A great conference was called in heaven to which great Buddha was summoned. The monkey-god even tried to mock this, the self-existent one! Buddha Makes Bet : "1 have heard that you are a great jumper, is it true?' asked the Buddha. 'T'll bet you can't leap out of my hand. If you do I'll make you King of hea- ven. "The monkey eagerly answered, 'I can turn over 108,000 li in one somer- sault, why shouldn't I leap out of your hand?' Then the monkey-god turned a somerset to the five white pillars-- limits of the universe--and wrote his name on one, to show he'd been there, and turned a somerset back in tri. umph. "Didn't IT turn out of your hand?' asked the monkey-god. "'See what you wrote on my finger!' the Buddha answered, and showed Monkey his name on his finger--one of the pillars! Monkey gazed amazed. "Buddha seized him, put him under a mountain, fed him with hot iron to punish him for his many sins, and said, 'After a number of years a monk named Dang Sen will come and free you. You shall follow and guard him as he goes for the books of Buddha from the Western Paradise' Years sped; all came true; Monkey reformed, became true to his title, "The holiest in the heaven,' and people began to worship him." Northwestern Alumni Association Totals 7,000 Northwestern university's general Are You a Good Driver? Read This and Find Out "Good driving is a matter not of technical excellence in shifting gears, alone, but of intelligence as well. Any one may learn the actual handling of an automobile, but the good driver has something more than just sureness of foot and hand, desirable though those qualities may be," says Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. "For example, at a boulevard a mo- torist may come to a stop, as is re- quired by law, and then instantly force his way so aggressively that drivers of dozens of vehicles are compelled to slam on their brakes to avoid an ac- cident. This is not good driving. "Courteous driving, the kind that gives way to the car climbing a steep hill; to the less experienced driver; that stops to let a bewildered pedes- trian reach the other side; is good driving. It is the kind of driving that some few persons will never achieve." Mrs. Harry F.

Its monthly magazine has grown to 44 pages in size and ranks as one of the two or three best publications of its kind in the country. Seventy-six cities have organized clubs of North- western alumni.
