This paper introduces the views of Confucianism from the perspective of Christianity by four scholars in England, the United States, Canada and Scotland. It partly reflects the understanding and value judgment of Confucianism by English national intellectuals in the process of East-West cultural contact in the late Qing Dynasty. The author of this article, Canadian missionary MacGilliyray, Donald (1862-1931), came to Henan in 1888 to teach in China. He was the former director of the Guangzhou Society. The original is published in The Chinese Recorder, Shanghai, July 1903. The subject is the translator to change. A little abridged.
