Those who failed' to hear Dr. Ret- ta Kilborn, on furlough from Chang- tu, China, speak in Sydenham street church hall on Tuesday evening on the causes that led to the present missed am opportunity of learning at first hand something of the country towards which the eyes of the world are' turning at the mo- ment. The speaker was introduced by Mrs. H. A. Lavell, president of the Dominion Board of the W.M.S. Dr. Kilborn was sent out to China by the W.M.S., but has for some time worked under the Generai Board, although as Mrs. Lavell stressed, al- ways ready to help the W.M.S. She 'gave a comprehensive summing up of the situation in China and spoke about Chinese ignorance of other "The Middle Kingdom," they called their country, because they believed it to be the centre of the world and that other kingdoms were like small islands in the ocean. The Portugese were the first for- eigners to enter China and they were driven forth, but came again. But the British were the first Europeans to'really trade with China, and they did it through the British East In- dian Company. However, this trade led to a war in 1842, at the conclu- gfon-of which the first of the treaty ports were opéned. There were five ports opened then and later in 1858, after another war in which the French took part, more of these cele- brated treaty ports were opened. At present, there are forty-nine treaty ports, not all opened by Britain, but all of advantage to China. Indeed, gome have beep opened by Imperial degree. The speaker described the difrer- ence between the state of the Bri- tish or American portion of these ports and the native town in such a ¢ity as Shanghai, for instance. The natives themselves come to the for- eign town with its sanitation, its jaws for the protection of human rights and life, rather than to their own part. . Missionaries can live and hold property: in all parts of China, but other foreigners can only live and hold property in the treaty ports, Referring to the question of extra territorial rights, Dr. Kilborn ex- plained that this was for the protec- tion of the foreigner so that they could only be tried by their own countrymen and found guilty accord- ing to their own law. That is, a {| British subject in a treaty port can || only, he tried by a British judge. The speaker referred to the custom system organized in 1864 by Sir Robert Hart®and . to the postal arrangements introduced, which are All the revenug of these go to China. "You don't hear any complaints from the Chihese about the postal system," she said. Timothy Richards had done much for the educational system. "We have always heard a lot about Britain forcing the opium ha- ll! bit upon the Chinese," said Dr. Kil- fli born. "For centuries China has uséd opium. It was China who wanted the cheap opium from India. { Britain destrqved millions of pounds worth of opium to help China get rid of the habit, but she has gone back to it." Since 1900, there has been no distarbance with Great Britain, and yet we have the anti-British "And why? Because of the Russian soviet ,and the Bolshe- 'China cannot govern herself. Don't believe the papers when they i say she can, "She is divided up into provinces, and the provinces into do- | zéng of smaller divisions. Since 1911 she has been called a republic but The military and the students are in- flamed by the Russians and ripe for miscéhiet. : "Bit we have never ceased work," 'said the doctor, and by request told of the insubordination of the nurses- in<trajping in a woman's hospital and of the firm stand taken to make them continue their course. The gra- duate nurses and those just about to graduate, had stood firm, 4nd the work had been carried -on. Asked about General Feng, the Christian General, Dr. Kilborn said he was carried away by the Russian influence; although she believed him to be truly Christian. Mrs. W. A.

She addressed an appreciative audience in the local Baptist church, speak- /ing on the theme, "Changes in In- {| dia," igstituting a comparison be- tween conditions as she found them ij and as they exist today. She said in part that India has been called a changeless nation, and, in many' instances, this is true, e.g., in agri- cultural meth which have /per- sisted during € thousand years. One change very noticeable is in edu- cation upon which depends the sta- i} tus. of a people. Formerly only Brahmins and the upper castes en- joyed such advantages, but recently the government has established schools for the lower castes, also night schools for boys who must la- bor all day, to help eke out a liveli- hood as the low wage received' ne- cessitates the co-operation of all in supporting the family.
