FROM WEST CHINA.

similar method and degree OF communi-
cation and fellowship on the part OF pas
tors and churches toward those whom
they send out TO the mission fields. The
essence of this partnership. he believed.
should be that a return be made from
what is invested and 60 all share In the
spiritual dividends OF the work. We
should push for extension in the line of
Christ's kingdom and push for expansion,
not only in West China and elsewhere

OF men everywhere.
