FIRST REPORTS OF MOTT
AND EDDY TOUR In CHINA

The tour of John r. Mott and Sher-
wood Eddy through mission fields in the
interest of the continuation committee
of the Edinburgh conference took them
in February and March through China
and Korea Letters arriving from mis-
sionarieS in those fields show what tre-
Ttendous influence has flowed both out
OF the conference held with missionaries
and out of the evangeiStic meetings
which the visitors have held, particularly
with students in all the cities they visited.
Mr.. Mott is reported to have said that
his meetings in Canton with the STU
dents OF that city were the greatest eX-
perience of his life. He spoke there TO
an audience of 5000 young men, and
when at the conclusion of the services
he offered them the opportunity of sign
ing a card which pledged them to read
the Bible and pray every day, and to
live in accordance with Bible prcCepts so
far as these commended themselves TO
their conscienCes, 81 young Chinese put
down their names. TwcntysiN of these
were students from Canton Christian Col
lcgc, and of that number sixteen joined
the college church next Sabbath. max
ing total Of forty-siN who have thus
professed Christ at the college during
the year.
The tour Of China eliminated with 4

very much like the centennial confer
encc there in 1907. The note OF unity
which was struck so strong in 1907 was
emphasized more than ever in 1918 A

universities for China was laid out. and

ONE HUNDRED KOREANS
ACQUITTED BY JAPANESE

fishes the contention of the Continent
that there never was the slightest real
evidence to justify the allegation of
Japanese police that Count Terauchi
was the object of a plot of assassina-
,tion. Stared in the face by a judicial
decision releasing 100 men whom police
charges had specifically marked as the
instruments of a seditious plot, even
the most biased must admit that the
plot is totally disproved, even though
the alleged ringleaders are still held for
punishment. And this means that tor
ture alone could have produced the pur-
ported confessions of a conspiracy.
1t remains yet for the international
protest which has liberated III of the
unjustly accused Koreans to be exer-
cised in behalf of the last six. For
them, undoubtedly, an appeal will be
made to the supreme court of Korea,
in which the fully trusted Christian
judge, Watanabe, has the deciding voice
But under the judicial practice of Japan,
this court can only review points of pro-
cedure, and cannot investigate the ease
on its merits. So il the procedure below
is technically regular. it may be i'm
possible for Judge Watanabe to vacate
these last sentences. In that case inter-
cession for their pardon must be made
to- the japanese Emperor.

CONSTRUCTIVE QUARTERLY
IS MAKING FINE START

Any thoughtful American. If he had the
least modicum of interest in religion,
must greet with pride the first issue of
the Constructive Quarterly. When DR..
Silas McBee retired from the editorship
Of the Churchman, men of ample views
in all denominations lamented it as
severe loss to current Christian think
ing. But supposing that retirement to
have been the necessary prelude to his
organizing and putting forth the Con-
structive Quarterly, one should now rate
the circumstance not to be- loss at all.
but wholly gain. For the new magazine
is certainly the weightiest and most
stimulating intellectual production which
has yet appeared in periodical literature
on the western side of h1e Atlantic.
American thinkers who have read the
HILBERT Journal with a patriotic jeal-
ousy, deplnring the inability of America
To match its breadth and solidity, need
now be Jealous no longer. They can
balance the Constructive against Hib-
bert without apology as long as its char
actcr holds at the level of its first num-
Der.
DR.. McBee's avowed purpose is to pro-
mote Christian unity by inviting men of
every form of Christian faith, Catholic
as well as Protestant, to set forth in his
pages all their own manner of thinking
about theological problems and questions
of church order. Let everybody speak
his mind, says the editor, but without as
sailing anybody else, and that is the
best way to help everybody understand
everybody else, which in turn is the best
way of bringing to pass the unitication
of Christians. But lofty as this purpose
is. the reader is rather happy TO find
that it does not dictate the whole con-
tents of the magazine The Constructive
Quarterly is, We perceive. not to be
hobby horse. Apart from its main OBJ
ject there are delightful excursions into
other fields where denomnational diff
ferences are forgotten in larger unities
and not even pale and polite reflections
of contention get in the way of long and
far eyesight. Such specially is Robert r.

CONGREGATIONAL.

The call of DR.. S II. Woodrow to the
pastorate of Pilgrim Church, st. Louis.
comes as an unpleasant surprise to
Washington Congregationalists, says the
CongreSationalist DIR. Woodrow's task
has been an exceptionally difficult one.
and the notable success with which II
has been performed places him high in
the ranks of Congregational leaders. The
old First has of recent years had a hard
problem before it. A downtown church.
in an exceptionally shifting community,
with comparatively few upon whom re-
lance could be placed for carrying the
heavy burdens OF responsibility. it has
taxed to the limit the skill and the
strength of even so strong a man as DR..
Woodrow. He would be missed sorely.
not only by the men who have crowded
the audience room beyond its seating
capacity, but by the workers who have
despite discouragements and difficulties
kept the church in the front rank. The
other churches would miss him also, for
he has been ever kindly and wise
counselor. He has Stood in the fore
front of those who have spoken out
strongly and earnestly. for the best of
civic life. while on all national questions
his voice has always runE true. Pilgrim
Church is to be congratulated should it
secure him.

with his usual programme in Washing
