The Church University expects ta occupy pulpit of Wellington Church, gow, during July, and the City Tem- ple, London, in August. The clfurch in Glasgow is where Rev. K M. Munro, now of the American Unit- ed Church, Montreal, was given such a flattering mvitation to be- come its pastor. Rev. J. Golder, Burns, of Marylebone Preshyterian Church, London, has refused the in- vitation to spend the next six months as acting pastor of Scots Church, Sydney, Australia. Dr. A. Boyd Scott, of Glasgow, has just completed a very successful half- year in that pulpit. Mr. Burns was formerly in Glasgow, and succeed- Dr. Guille in London. Dr. Ritson, who has been forced to give up his work for the Bible Soclety, was 31 years its secretary. He has been a hard worker, and saw the circula- tion increase from 4,479,439 copies a year to 12,175,292 and from 304 translations to 640. There are at present a chain of 56 Bible houses in the capitals of the world, includ. ing Jerusalem. * * LJ Dr. G. L. Kieffer has succeeded the lat: Dr. Carroll as chief Statis- tican of the American churches. He has just published his first report. According to his estimate there are 225,890 ministers and priests in the United States, with 237,282 con- gregations and 50,037,245 mem- bers. In dealing with the question of progress he has found an increase of only 88,350 members, as com- pared with 242,748 in 1929, and 1,000,000 the year before. The slump, according to his reckoning, is a largest among the Methodist churches with Presbyterians com. ing second, and the Disciples of Christ in the third place of losers, The Baptists and Lutherans togeth- er have added to their church more than all the losses of the other de- nominations. The figures he gives for the Roman Catholic Church are 17,316,673 members, or 17,526 less than last year, The Protestant Epis- copal Church has 1,250,000 mem- bers and reports a gain of 16,532, whereas the Congregationalists with a slightly less membership show a gain of less than 1,000. * * * The Baptists have had a very in. teresting ordination at Leduc, Alta. Dr. Diduk, a Ukrainian, was the centre of a unique ceremony. There were seven. churches represented, with Dr. C. C. McLaurin, of Ed- monton, presiding. Hymns were sung in three different languages, and the ordination prayer, in Swed- ish, Ukrainian and English. Mr, Di- duk left his home in 1906, going to Odessa, where he worked in a sug- ar factory. He noticed a Bible, and aftér a conversation had it explain. ed to him that a soul could be sav- ed, a statement which puzzled him greatly. He was invited to attend a Baptist meeting, and the first thing he heard was a hymn, "My Friend Come to Jesus Now." A little later he arose and cried out, "God fog give my sins."' He felt that he had found salvation and was very happy, and on going home informed his mother. She was also interested in his Bible, but his father was angry at hoth of them. Later he was ar- rested on a. political charge, but the judge decided that there was nothing in his profession of religion of danger to the State. He arrived in Canada in 1911 and was the means of gathering a congregation at Hyus, Sask., and later moved to Leodug, Dr. Lynn Harold Hough, of Drew the | Glas- | World Wide A new Roman Catholic Church {a human beast of burden, SOOOOE NATIVE QUESTION INSOUTH AFRICA 15 DIFFICULT ONE Relations Between = Black and White Residents Is a Big Problem ! DOOOOO00E That the Native question in South' Africa is a difficult one goes without saying. The relations between the White and Black dur- ing the last ten years have been increasingly troubled by friction, discontent, and even alarm on either side, according to The South African Outlook, The White ma- jority formula for settling the Native question is simply to keep him in his place--and his place would seem to be virtually that of | There is | a White minority, however, which is growing stronger yearly and which is growing uneasy about this | treatment of the Black population, Many more now question whether White men and women who as- sume to be civilized can 'he con- tent to keep the Native under- foot, without any thought of his | feelings or rights as a human being." It is said that if the Na- tionalist leaders, who are mostly | older men, really knew the feel- | ing among the more intelligent of the youth of their own people, | they would have the shock of their lives, The brains of young South Africa are revolting against the assumption hat the Native ques- {tion can be settled by "pinning ithe Native firmly down, as though |he were an entomological speci» men, to the board of present-day White assumptions." Many people in Sonth Africa and elsewhere are asking the question, Why should the Native be more of a danger (0 the White man if he is contented, prosperous and happy and recog- nized as a citizen, than if he is sullen, ground down by poverty and denied any part or lot in the work of running his own country?

At the beginning or the Christian era, A.D, 8 to 2! | during the very years when Christ was growing up as a carpénter"s apprentice in Galilee, farther to the East, Wang Mang was plung- ing half China an@ an estimated population of more than 30 mil- lions into a full fledged Commun- istic experiment. Wang Mang, the "Lenin" of the times, came into power upon a wave of dissatisfaction over econ- omic and other hardships at the end of the Western Han dynasty. In modern fashion, he did not at once seize the reins of power, but encouraged the idea that he should be "drafted," and received a peti- tion bearing 480,000 names. Once in power he introduced a regin.e which was to a remarkable degree like the Communist experiment in Soviet Russia, and which was modified in such the same way as in Russia. Wang Mang began by trying to abolish all money, and to sub- stitute payments in kind by bar- ter. When this failed, he had all money coined in the Government mint and all printed currency-- the Chinese forerunner of bank notes--issued and controlled by the central Government, Ail Paid the Same He began by abolishing differ- ences in wages and salaries. Thus all Government officials were to be paid the same amount, This did not work, so he divided the of- ficials up into three classes as far as concerned wages, and later into nine classes and finally 15. By a curious coincidence, according to Dr. Kiang, exactly the same thing occurred at the beginning of the Soviet Russian experiment, even down to the exact number of divisions when the original plan broke down--3, 9, 15. The Soviet began by trying to pay all of- ficials 60 doubles a month. Under Wang Mang, the Govern- ment tried to 'monopolize the means of production and distribu- tion," An attempt was made to divide up the land equally and to turn it over to a farmer for a per- fod of time, but always subject to: being taken back for redistribu- tion. There were no taxes, but the people were subject to conscripe' tion for public works as well ug' for military service. All instruction. was in the hands of the central Government which controlled the text hooks.

Problems of are being seriously present in the councils of both Church and State. The ancient East is faced by similar questions, it seems, and the Christian work- India are' making eager a solution. "The uplift with respect to ers of search fy Indian Witness, "is in- the Christian message and organic in the evangelistic programme." This is one of the basic conclusions drawn by Dr. K. L. Butterfield in his book on the Christian mission in rural India. Agriculture is the foundation of Indian economic life, and the im- pogance of improving agriculture The tegral in says |can scarcely be overestimated. The Allahabad Agricultural Institute realized this twenty years ago and has been facing the problem 'ever since and co-operating with all other forces for rural betterment, A} Farmers' Fair was scheduled for April, during which demonstrations would be given on various phases of improved agri- culture, methods of cultivation, ir- rigation, breeding and care of ani- mals, etc, For two weeks following the Fair a short course in farm- ing was offered for village work- ers. It requires no stretch of im- agination to see how a mission worker may be surely serving the Master when he is teaching sani- tation in dairy work and correct methods of soil cultivation, as well as when he is engaged in the more obviously Christian activities, | FAMILY LIVES IN PIG STY THOUGH FATHER HAS HOUSES Auckland, N.Z.,, May 16. -- A story of a family of six who lived in a pig sty, although i! e husband and father, was the owner cf two houses, for each of which he drew $20 a month rent, was t:ld at Dur- ham, when Robert Milner, aged 43, was sentenced to a month in prison for neglecting his four children, His wife was bound over. It was stated that Mr. and Mrs. Milner and their four children had previously lived in a nouse which was condemned and demolished, and they were found living in the pig sty, in the cocacr of which was a young pig. Rain came through the roof. The children were poor- ly clad, and were removed to the Poor Law Institution, Mang imposed upon Northern China a thorough-going Commun- ist regime, including forced labor, Striking as are the likenesses to Soviet Russia. there are also cer- tain #ontrasts in the regime of Wang Mang. In order to gain sup- port, Wang Mang did not proclaim his aims as revolutionary, but in- stead represented them as a re- turn to the Golden Age of the an- cients, 5 No Five-Year Plan While the land was communs- ally owned it was not communally tilled--htere was no Five-Year Plan to place agriculture and in- dustry upon a full Communist basis, in fact. The experiment in China did no' involve an attack upon the established religion, quite the reverse. Wang Mang was so anxious to prove that he was p'" "ning according to the author- ity of the ancient classics that he asked his scholars to forge docu- ments in his support. According to Dr, Kiang, the com- mon, people did not suffer much from the economic system but be- came violently discontented at the conscription of labor. Then, when a revolution brcke out, led by the supporters of the Han dynasty, the people objected strenuously to being conscripted to put it down. Thus Wang Mang was overthrown and. the Han dynasty re-establish- ed, partly through dissatisfaction over conscription.

The Church of Eng- land, like the parliament, and the army and navy has an endless ar- ray of heroes. Of Archbishop Strin. ger it is recalled 'that he ate his moccasins," ta keep the flag of re- ligion flying among the Eskimos; and of Bishop Gray it is stated that he rose from the rank of a cowboy in the West, to a reat in the House of Bishops. He was ordained in 1895, and for 17 years held a proud place in*Edmonton as vector of All Saints' Church. In 114 he was con- secrated its first bishop, and now purely because of the physician's advice, he has resigned. He will continue until July 31, when he ex. pects to take up light duties in Eng- land. Among the honors he will carry away is that of the Silver Wolf, which is the decoration of the highest order among the Boy Scouts. He had the characteristic of alaways remaining young. _. il UNITED CHURCH Rev. G. W.
