ER ATR E = = DE = czoz n= IES CHINESE GOVERNMENT IS ANTI-CHRISTIAN Dr, Chau-chu Wu, minister from China to the United States, address. ing a group of missionaries and mis- sion board officers in New York City lately, said in part: "For a time there was an impres- sion abroad that the Nationalists of China were anti-religious, anti-Chris- tian and anti-mijssionary, I will ad- mit that while there was no foun- dation for this impression, there were grounds for sucly a belief. 'When missionaries not only received no encouragement but were handicapped in their work, when processions were held against Christianity in certain cities on days held sacred by Chris- tians, when religious premises were occupied by 'some of our people, there were ground for such a belief. But remember that these things were not at the time and were not at any time the policy of the National gov- ernment, "So far as the Nationalists are concerned, we believe in freedom of belief and freedom of religious teach- ing for everyone. We have not had religious wars in China. We have always been tolerant to foreign re- ligions. Buddhism, Mohammedan- ism and Nestorianism are foreign. The early Roman Catholic priests were hired by officials in our gov- ernment. We have always believed in an open field in religion. "Yhen we consider that the found- er and leader and teacher of the Na- tionalist party was a Christian, that when he died he had a Christian service, it is hardly likely that his followers would be against that re- ligion."

A WARM VWELCME AWAITS YOU PRAYER AT SUNRISE PART OF ASSEMBLY"S PROGRAM Rev. H, C. Matthew, M.A, foreign missions secretary of the Presbyteri- an Church of Victoria, Australia, was lately in Korea, and his comments criticize pointedly certain conditions in so-called Christian lands. "We were fortunate," he says, "that we arrived in time to attend the meetings of the general assemb- ly of the Presbyterian Church of Korea in Taiku. This assembly was at once a striking demonstration of the success of missionary work in Korea. We could not but admire the self-restraint of the missionaries, and rejoice with them in the achieve- ment, by the grace of God, of a self- governing church. We do not know that there is another church in the world that will make a day-break prayer-mecting a part of the daily program of the assembly mectings, And a church which gives interces- sion the place it has in its business arrangements will go far in the work of the Kingdom of God. "Possibly this is why it has such a hold upon foreign missionary policy, and has been able to organize a woman's missionary union through- out the church. May we express the hope that this church will escape the calamity of many churches in the West, and secure that the. men are. as well organized as the women for tak- ing their share in the first business of a living church? It was heartening [| to see in these meetings the warm and sustained interest of the meme bers-of the church in the delibera- tions of the assembly." What promise is given to those who remember the poor? Answer, read--Psalm 41:1. subject for service of ientist."

Too Many Glib-Tongued Men "Who Charm Congregations" Writer Inveighs Against Permitting Candidates to Enter Vacant Pulpits Seeking Pastorates Ministerial records for effective- ness in previous pastorates, rather than ability to compete as orators with rival candidates, should recom- mend men to pastorates, is the view set forth by a writer in the Baptist Record, "A committee should mot put the names of a man before a congrega- tion unless they like him personally and believe that he will fit the tem- per of their church," says the intro. duction to this article, which con- tinues as follows: -- "Two simple rules will both save trouble and facilitate the work of the committee, "Candidates should not be admit- ted to the pulpit of a vacant church, The ability to preach one or two good sermons is no proof of fitness for a particular pastorate. The world is full of glib-tongued men who can charm the ears of an unsuspecting congregation, while there are other men of solid worth who are so over- come with nervousness when preach- ing a candidate's sermon that they make a miserable impression. When the committee has found the man upon whom they are united it may sometimes be desirable to invite him to preach before asking the con- gregation to extend a call. Yet many strong churches call their pastors without ever hearing them. Listen- ing to men preach does not solve but rather complicates the problem of making a wise choice. "Men should be considered for a pulpit one at a time, Ministers are not race-horses, and to put them in the position of rival contestants is hardly fair. The most likely man should be investigated and the ques tion asked, 'Does he meet our re- quirements?" If he does, he should be recommended to the church, re- gardless of other names on the list; if he does not, the next most likely man should be taken up in the same way. This method is fair, and it prevents both individious compari son and a possible division of opin- fon. "A man who has increased the membership and strengthened the finances of one church may be ex- pectéd to do the same by another. A minister's record is the fairest basis upon which he may be judged." Speaking the Truth (From the New Outlook) A habit of speaking the truth would seem to be a requirement of any really respectable moral law. But evidently there are ways and ways of speaking the truth, We have known people to have a special zeal for speaking the truth when the truth to be spoken had something un- pleasant about it: that is, unpleasant for some one elsc but the speaker, Saying hard things, things that hurt, because they are true things and with the purposed intention of serv- ing the cause of virtue and right eousness, may sometimes be a very courageous and praiseworthy thing to do. But, so strange and fallible is this human nature of ours, it may sometimes be a very cowardly and wicked thing to do. And any one who has the habit of saying such things ought to examine very closely the motives that move him in the matter, There are at least two noteworthy incidents recorded in the New Testa- ment of outstanding good men who seemingly had. a call to say some stern, hard things in the interests of truth and righteousness and didn't say them. The first one occurred in the life of the Apostle Paul. He had come to Athens, the great centre of Greek culture, and had spent much of his first day therc as any man with his curiosity and great interest in human affairs would likely spend it, in tramping the streets of the city and seeing what he could sce. And the great thing he saw was "the city wholly given up to idolatry." So, of course, we would expect that when on the next day he met a goodly number of the citizens on the Areopagus he would start in and tell them in very plain language just what he thought of that matter, But lie doesn't do any such thing, but in the most mild-mannered way and th the most cuphemistic terms, gentler manly and' courteous as possible, he says, "Ye men of Athens, I see that you are indeed a very religious people." Strange, wasn't it! The other instance was in the life of Jesus. The Pharisees had brought to him a woman proven guilty of adultery, It was a notorious case and a vile sin and surely deserving of the sternest kind of rebuke in the most public and outspoken way pose sible. And, no doubt, the men who had brought the miserable woman before Him expected that He would turn on her and blister her and her sin with invective and the most yn- compromising condemnation. = As a great Teacher of morals and religion, surely He couldn't do anything less than that. But instead of doing that, He rebukes the men who had brought her there, busics Himself with writ. ing in the sand as if to relieve the woman of embarrassment before Him, and when He does speak to her tells her that He has no stern word for her sin at all. Evidently to Him, speaking the stern truth about other people's sin isn't the plain duty that some people think it to be, NAME SCOTTISH PROFESSOR FOR COLLEGE AT HALIFAX Rev, James S. Thompson, M.A, formerly a leader in religious edu- cation in the United Free Church of Scotland, has been appointed pro- fessor of systematic theology and philosophy of religion in Pine Hill Divinity Hall, Halifax, Professor Thompson was a distinguished stu- dent in philosophy at Glasgow uni- versity. On the outbreak of war; he enlisted as a private, and won his commission on the battlefield, After four years of service with the army, he entered college to prepare for the ministry, taking his theological course in the United Free Church Theological College, Glasgow. On his graduation he was called to a church in one of the suburbs of Glasgow, where he served with marked accept- ance for a time. He was chosen to be head of the religious education department of the United Free church, where he met with outstand- ing success. So valuable are his ser- vices to his church in Scotland, es- pecially during the present readjust. ment of cffort due to the consumma- tion of church union, that it was found impossible to let him be re- leased for a year, and he will not be taking up his duties at Pine Hill un- til the beginning of the 1930 term. CENTENARIAN UNDAUNTED BY WALK OF MANY MILES Love of her religion must be deep- seated in grey-haired Mary Maska- louk, aged but by no means feeble. For 29 miles she plodded her way recently along the dirt roads from Smoky Lake, Alberta, to Shandro where her mother church, St. Mary's, celebrated its 25th birthday, the first of its denomination. Russo-Greck Orthodox, the province. And Mary has just cclebrated her 109th birth- ay. Starting out late at night the aged devotee walked every step of the way, and arrived in time for early mass in the morning. It was through no lack of accommodation that she made the journey afoot. She had plenty of offers from passing motor ists, but preferred to show her 'de- votion iti the manner of the old Can- terbury pilgrims, The old lady came to Alberta from her native land in castern Europe 32 years ago, and has been happily settled ever since. Rev. R. Gordon Burgoyne, on re- sigining from Grace United Church, Winnipeg, was given a cheque for a full year's salary, while Mrs. Burs goyne was presented with a purse of gold.
