in connection with the distribution of
the Bible in China will probably be
corrected in connection with the forth

Shanghai.
The great gathering, converting
April 25-May 5, which is the event to
which all missionary eyes are turned,
promises to be memorable milestone
in Missionary history. Committees of
experts have been at work for 12
months preparing deliverances upon
all the big problems of Chinese mis-
sions. At this time the three COM.
mittees which have been at work I'D
on the new translations of the Bible,
a monumental undertaking, will offer
the fruits of their labors. These YER

The Biggest BIunder of Missions.
This Shanghai conference will give
a decided impetus to the union of all
missionary work. The biggest blum
der of the missionary movement has
been perpetuation of foreign denomi.

the Shanghai Mercury" recently
said, in an editorial upon Chinese
Christianity" eff it depended upon
the Chinese vote, the Christians would
all unite together in one National
Chinese church, without any of the
isms' of the west, which ought not
to be imposed on them and which
mayhap they will one day cast off"
A rather careful inquiry among
leading native Christians reveals a
definite tendency toward the assertion
of Chinese nationalism in the native
churches. This nowhere assumes the
proportions or the animus SO marked
in Japan, but the independence move.

is scant opportunity for their wear.
Wonderful embroideries are being
prepared to do them honor, and the
bugle and bead are being used for
their decoration with considerable en-

cries are in floss silk, much raised
and in floral designs. But embroidery

no really elegant costume is complete

the Chinese had any such game, but
later found that it is very popular in

These northern Chinese are almost
giants, and every man on the team

weigh on the average 200. pounds
There are no goals, side lines or
halves. The game lasts until one side
is the winner, and frequently this is
not accomplished before two or three
days. The idea of the game is to
force a small wicker basket, which

pure sterilized milk is sold to the poor

The magnitude of some of these
mission hospitals is beyond the grasp
of the westerner who thinks that all
big things are near at home. Not one

knows that out by the west gate OF
the city is the Womans Union hos
pital, in charge of DR.. Elizabeth Reif-
snyder, of Pennsylvania, which last
year treated more than 60. 1000 patients,
preaching to them all, as well as to
the crowds of relatives and friends
who accompanied them. st. Luke's
hospital, of the Protestant Episcopal
mission, in the same city, is in quite
the same class with it, and both are
institutions of which any progressive
city in Christendom would be proud.
