Up in the cupola was the assembly- room, with rows and rows of high-sided seats that enabled the prisoners to see PRESENT-DAY CHINA 85 the platform, but not one another. On the wall over the platform I saw five crude paintings of men with beards. In regular order, beginning at the left, the governor pointed them out as Mo- hammed, Jesus, Confucius (in the cen- ter), Buddha, and Lao-tsze, the founder of the Taoist faith. Thus was China liberal to all religions, and every Sun- day, when the priso...ners gathered here, they heard a moral discourse from some representative of one of these five creeds, with the other four to frown down upon him with united disapproval if he became too ]3artizan.
The last thing we saw at the Peking Prison was a set of the instruments of torture with which prisoners were brought to reason in days gone by. Balls and drags for the feet, vices for breaking the bones of the hand, the ter- rible old, slicing knife, and, amid a host 86 PRESENT-DAY CHINA of other tools, two handsomely chased beheading swords with nicked and rusty blades — how wholesomely they fitted into the dusty chamber to which they were once again to be consigned away from the uses of man!
