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

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.

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.
