The women Of the Fifth Avenue Pres
byterian church in New York are m
terestinC themselves in the establish
ment of a scholarship in honor OF the
late DR.. John Hall in the Christian col
lcge at Canton, China. The idea OF the
scholarship presented itself to the chi
nose whom DR.. Hall had baptized and
brought into the church, and they
raised the nucleus of the fund. The
sum of 100 is needed, however, -
found a scholarship in perpetuity, and
it is hoped by those who have charge
of the scholarship that anyone inter-
ested in the advancement of Christian
education will contribute. DR.. Han

the Christian college. This institution

training, TO perform an important CCr-
