They were at re mote centers where lawlessness might not be easily controlled by Chinese authorities. They await favorable opportunity to return to j their posts. We know of no missionary who has left a station because of op position to him or her personally, or because of opposition to Chris tianity in general, or trhls or her church or institution .or service in particular. In certain instances services are being carried on, schools conducted, and clinics op erated by Chinese men and women who have been trained by mis sionaries. These difficult times are proving the deep-seated spirit ual strength of Chinese Christians. They are holding steadfast to highest teachings of Christ. Briefly stated, the political-military 1 situation is this: For years China has been controlled by con tending warlords; on the whole they hare not disturbed mission work, but China herself could never develop them. Then there arose around Canton guided by Sun Yat Sen. a Christian the Southern Army which plans to free China from the warlords. Un fortunately, since the death of Sun Yat Sen. there have been two groups in the Southern leadership one of them greatly influenced by Russian Bolshevism. The Southern Army, officered largely by able and patriotic and earnest young men (many of them mission school products) is now marching riorthward and appears able to defeat the' warlords. As the Southern Army controls new counties and towns In its march local governing committees are placed in control. In Nanchang. for example', two men with Pb.Ds from Columbia university, and a third who is a graduate of the University of Paris, form the gov erning committee; elsewhere there i i i .,, -t i i may be coolies in control. Some times these committees have an anti-Christian Mas, and make un reasonable demands upon church es' and schools; sometimes they co operate In a friendly manner. In general, the Southern leaders demand that mission schools have a majority of Chinese on the gov erning body, that the president be a Chinese, that Bible study be vol untary and not compulsory, that obeisance be made to a picture of Sun Yat Sen displayed in the school, and that his three prin ciples of action self-determination of nations, sovereignty of the people, government control of economic factors be studied. To most of these demands many schools give ready acquiescence. Some hesitate to bow to Sun Yat Sen, Interpreting it as Idolatry; others think . of it as we thnk of saluting the flag. But there is no attempt to wipe out Christianity or Christian in stitutions, or to dismiss the mis sionary. It Is an outgrowth of a new national consciousness a consciousness that China has greatly needed and one with which almost all missionaries are in heartiest sympathy and under standing. Missionaries see in it new hope for China, new oppor tunities for Christian service, new Chinese leaders. The Soviet In fluence uncomfortable here and there is regarded as but a tem porary feature against which the better sense of normal China will eventually recoil. Br. Hu Shih, leader of the so called Renaissance Movement of China, in a recent address before the Christian Literary society in Shanghai, said: "Do not be dis couraged at . the so-called anti Christian movement. This thing is your own product. It is a sign of the awakening of China, for which you hare been working and longing. Don't be discouraged by these things. You wanted an in : telleetuai awakening, and you have got It. Your missionaries have trained the people for new ideas. Even your opponent is In fluenced by you if he had not learned of your work, he would not have been your opponent. You were the pioneer in this great morement that is going on in China.' A missionary at Wuhu writes: "It would be a cala'mity to take away all the missionaries because It would nnecessarily retard pro gress. Bnt they could be taken away and the church of Christ in China would abide. I do not mean that every organization would lire or that it would continue to do so on the lines laid down by the mis sionaries, but I do mean that the life of trust in God and loyalty to Christ through the service of their fellows would abide as an organ ized force among the Chinese people." We need to remember what Bifhop Wallace E. Brown says: "China's millions do not hate for eigners,, nor do they hate Chris tianity. They are keenly aware of the , great contribution that Christianity has made to China's life. They want justice. This is what the larger and saner group of young China is demanding. The movement is not anti Christian; it Is anti-unchristian. It is a call for sincerity and real ity in religion expressed In Inter national and inter-racial living. The National Christian Council of China, composed of Chinese and of foreigners, recently said: "The increased willingness of churches and Chinese leaders, stimulated by the nationalistic morement, to assume responsibilities which in the past hare rested largely on the missions and on the mission aries has created a temporary con fusion in the thinking of some as to the continued need for mission aries. This confusion has largely passed away, or it Is confined to such functions of missionaries under modern, conditions. The fact of being needed Is not questioned." No, missionary work has not collapsed In China. 'It has larger opportunities ahead of It just as it multiplied after the Boxer Re bellion. Tbe missionaries know it; four hundred and fifty are on the job; the others are waiting to go back to ther stations. Many of our churches and people in America realize it. Treasurer Morris W. Ebnes of the Board of Foreign Missions (150 Fifth Are.. New York) has had recently a gift of $3000 for increased medical needs; and one gift of $2000 and sereral smaller amounts for the added costs which come through the travel and care of missionar ies in Manila and Shanghai. Gifts in any amount to either tbe Board or the Society will be welcome for these added costs and they will be a testimony to all of American Methodism's faith In the purpose of our missionaries and Christian institutions in China. We must not abandon our missionaries they are not abandoning us whom, they represent. Our .gifts are more needed for China today than they were ever before. Hare faith in the ultimate good of China. She has persisted through the centuries, She has weathered, many anTI worse storms. And so has the gospel of Jesus Christ. Juvenile Wrters Give School Items (Contin4 from pf 1.) around In their seat.

The first grade pupils are work ing hard so as to receive the silver star button in writing given by the Palmer Method company. If they continue improving the next two weeks as they hare in the foregoing two weeks it will be possible for nearly all the pupils to win a button. The second graders are working for the gold star button, while flke third and fourth grades are working for the Palmer Method pin. Red Refuses To Cede Place of Importance Although many Paris dressniak- ers predicted a place with the has- beens for red this spring, it con tinues to brighten the collections of some designers. Some of V'ionnet's most success ful models are in a light shade of bordeau red. One red dress is of the new roile in two tones and has a cuiotte, or trouser sKirt. Good Combinations of Crepe and Point PARIS Prints are not among the newest Paris models, but they are among the most popular. Near ly erery house shows several print ed georgettes, crepe de chines, or chiffons in its new collection. Onp of the designs generally approved by practically minded shopper3 is from Philippe et Gaston's Riviera collection. It combines printed georgette with dark blue crepe. A single deep scallop in front, form ing tbe modified yoke so popular at present, is seen on the model. The Opera House Drug Store. Service, quality, low price, friend ship give Increasing patronage.
