Describes Field In China.
The chief speaker OF the evening as
to this Judson fund was Rev. r. r.
bryan. ID. D.. a native of North Caro-
lima. and now one of the missionaries
In China. DR. Bryan described how re-
Gently he was called in China to
speak to great crowds OF soldiers and
in the presence Of high officials All Of
these opportunities TO speak the gospel
contrasted sharply with experiences
that DR.. Bryan had over twenty years
ago when he first went to China when
the lives OF himself and family were
in danger.
His heart so thrilled at these expert
cnces that he ongcd 10 come back 10
America to tell Christians in this coun-
try that not only are the gates of
China open, but the walls arc all down.
DIR. Bryan is convinced that when
Christians in the United States see the
vision they viii he ready as to the pro-

DR.. Bryan was followed by Dr.. T. IL.
Ray. who has charge OF the Judson
campaign. He spoke OF how careful

were ascertained. The needs OF the
fields thus reported were, when sum

Modern Methods Urged.
Application OF modern efficiency
methods TO missionary work was urged
By Miss + T.. 5. Heck president OF
the Womans Missionary Union, IN an
address before the tHcnty-nfth annual
convention OF the union, Miss Heck
proposed the appointment OF three com
missions To study the question ana
report back to the union at it's next tam
nual meeting
Missionary efficiency is still nebu-
lous," Miss Heck asserted Prom the
sum Of our methods Ne should be
able to deduct a definite standard OF
missionary efficiency. An important
step in reaching a universal standard
Is to abandon. once for all the be-
lief that our circumstances are pccu-
liar. Organizations in the game line
OF business have the same standard
OF effort and result, and the one that
does not reach 1t fails In business.
In so homogeneous territory as ours

state VIII be found. with rare oN-
ccptions. successful in another
In placing before the Individual So
ciety Uniform standard. we have
gone FAR towards standardizing their
work. However. we have given few
authoritative corrections for its at
;ainment. In tho methods of tho So
ciety in town and country. thcro must
be a difference. but the problems OF
towing and country places from one
end OF our territory to the other are
the same. Hundreds OF our hest. most
thoughtful and consecrated women are
giving amounted time to solving
them How shall all profit Ly the
failures and successes of all? How
shall the lonely worker he enriched
by the counscls of hundreds?

that putting Our Mission Fields on "a

This is that you appoint or authorize
to be appointed three commissions on
