-- Myrtle Station - Rev. Duncan McCrea of China, Mis- vice. Speaking in the interest of the ./. the United' Church, Mr. McCrea was most interesting as he. touched on the Christian work: carried on during the four years of war with Japan and the result of this work. Although 80 _ per 'cent of China's industry was de- stroyed, it is now being, re-organized on the co-operativé system. The: Gospel is being preached in thousands of little centres, where it had never before been heard. This is due to the scattering of native Christians as re- fugees. . Prejudice has been removed and no where in China are people more respected than are the mission- aries and the Christian workers, Mil- 'lions of her people have made the great sacrifice for their country; cities raids; their country ravaged by war and yet through it all, China sees that it has proved a great blessing; for it hag united her more than ever before and, as'never before, she is putting up a war of resistance. At the close of ~ the service, most of the audience re- _ mained to. talk .and ask questions, which Mr. McCrea most gladly and willingly answered. The address was one of thé most interesting ones, along missionary linés, that has been given in the church for some time. Rev, G. S. and Mrs, Gervan sang a very ap- propriate duet.
