JOHN'S, SUNDAY Dr. R. J. Brown, a Canadian doc- tor in charge of St. Paul's Chiristian Hospital in the province of Honan, China, preached at ail services in St. John's Church on Sunday. Dr. Brown, who is home on furlough, delivered splendid addresses show- lng what was being accomplished in t.he medicai, evangelistic and edu- cational phases of the Missions In China. At the morning service Dr. Brown related the worit being done in the hospital which he heads. The most unusuai thing about the hospital, the speaker said, was the fact that there was no preaching o! Christ- ianity, and yet the hospital was the means of brlnglng more people to the Christian f aitli than any other agency. He pointed out that chur- ches of every denomination today looked to St. Paul's Hospital for leadership in the matter of Christ- ianizlng the heathen. He dld flot believe that Christianity could be preached inta sick people. On the other hand, lie believed that many more could be brouglit ta Christ through a practical demonstration o! Christian fellowship and kmnd- ness than by preaching. This at least had been borne out in his hos- pital where no preadhing was car- ried on in the hospital, but where imany have been converted to the f aith. Dr. Brown gave many Instances o! how co-operation had been won even !rom such men as the Abbot o! the Buddhlst Temple, wha laed had his sight restored alter four years o! blindness. A heathen chie! o! pol- ice in a nearby city, who at one time did ail lie cauld to, persecute Christians, was today an enthus- iastic supporter o! the hospital, pay- Ing each week for treatment for many poor people. Six cents per day was the hospital charge, Dr. Brown stateci, and $1.00 was charg- ed for a major operation. FiMve o! these operations were carried out every day of the year, and 150 out- patients cared for in addition to the hospital inates. Patients came f rom a distance of 500 miles for treatment, and the hospital always sent them home with a letter ta the nearest missonary, no matter what denomination he belonged ta. In the afternoon Dr. Brown gave an illustrated talk ta the Sunday School, and in the evening spoke on the Evangelistic and Educational phases of the work. While In town Dr. Brown was a guest of Rev. and Mrs. C. R. Spencer. His work in China is chie!ly sponsored by St. Paul's Church, Bloor St.. Toronto, after which lis hospital is named.
