Hubbard Woods Trust & Savings Bank 952 Linden Avenue Hubbard Woods REV. PAUL REYNOLDS IN WINNETKA SUNDAY Congregational Minister to China Seeks Changes of U. S. Policy i in China The Rev. Paul R Reynolds will be in Winnetka tomorrow visiting the Win- netka Congregational church, of which he is a minister. Mr. Reynolds, who is in_this country on furlough from his missionary work in China, will preach at the morning service, and will speak at a business meeting of the church to be held at 3:30 in the afternoon. This meeting is to give further con- sideration to a proposal which was considered at a business meeting held about three weeks ago. This proposal would ask the American Board of Foreign Missions, the Congregational missionary organization, to request the government to exempt from diplomatic protection such missionaries in China as do not desire such protection. When previously before the congregation, ac- tion was postponed until further in- formation could be obtained. Finds Work Handicapped This question has come before the Congregational church here because of the feeling of Mr. Reynolds, its mis- sionary, that his work in China is seriously handicapped by the circum- stances now surrounding his position as an American missionary. Mr. Reyn- olds explains these circumstances to be not only the extraterritorial status of all American citizens in China, but the special protection afforded missionaries, and the refusal of the United States government to exempt such mission- aries as do not desire it from this protection. Practically all mission- arv societies, both in Great Britain and this country have recognized the dif- ficulties put in the way of their work bv the present treaty conditions, and have petitioned the two governments for a revision of the treaties, express- ing the hope that when the treaties are revised the so-called "toleration clauses," which give the missionaries their special status, may be eliminated. Treaty Revision Remote Revision of the treaties, because of chaotic conditions in China, seems to be far off. Mr. Reynolds is one of a large number of missionaries who be- lieve that some way must be found of freeing mission work from its embar- rassing connections with political ques- tions, at once. To make a beginning in this direction, and to avoid the ques tion of the treaties entirely, he has sug- gested that there might possibly be a re-interpretation of American diplo- matic policy in China which would make possible the exemption from pro- tection of such missionaries as do not desire it. The action contemplated by the Winnetka church asks the Ameri- can board, if it is agreeable, to sug- gest this re-interpretation to the gov- ernment. This question is not one of treaty conditions, but of American govern- ment policy, in the interpretation of the treaties, according to Mr. Reynolds. For years there has been a growing feeling on the part of numbers of mis sionaries that, no matter what the status of traders and other foreigners in China, their business as messengers of a gos- nel of peace demanded that they be freed entirely from any trace of con- nection with a diplomatic protection that might lead to the use of force. This feeling reached expression three years ago when a group of missionaries presented this petition to Dr. Jacob Gould Schurman, then minister to China, and now ambassador to Ger many : Want No Military Protection "The undersigned, American mission- aries, are in China as messengers of the gospel of brotherhood and peace. Our task is to lead men and women into a new life in Christ, which promntes brotherhood and takes away all occasion of wars. We therefore express onr earnest desire that no form of militam pressure, especially no foreign military force, be exerted to protect us or our property ; and that in the event of onr canture by lawless persons or our death at their hands, no money be paid for our release, no punitive expeditions b~ cent ont, and no indemnity be exacted. We take this stand believing that the way to establish righteousness and peace is through bringing the spirit of per- sonal good will to bear on all persons under all circumstances, even throvgh suffering wrong without retaliation. TF ic what we understand the example of Jesus Christ to mean." This petition' reached Dr. Schurman while he was in this country in consul- tation with the state department. He replied in a long letter addressed to the Rev. Robert E. Chandler (the first sion. er of the petition), the essential parts of which read as follows: "IT have been greatly interested both in the statement and in the letter. 1 knew there was an element among the (Continued on Page 56) Chrysanthemums for Hallowe'en Large Flowered and Pom Pons Special--Yellow and Bronze Pot Mums $2.50 Value--$1.25 and $1.50 each EDWARDS--FLORIST 917 Willow Road Phone Winn. 885 Smart Types 946 OAK STREET The Woman has her Hats made to match her costumes in and Colors My service insures distinguished individuality at very moderate prices PHONE WINNETKA 320
