Menace or Blessing?

The attitude OF Christendom "a
this crisis will determine whether
China is to be menace or a bless
ing TO the world. Bishop Bashford,
who for more than eight years has
literally given his life TO the study
OF China, says; "The danger thai
threatens China Will effect Chris-
tian civilization also, Just as nd
plague or physical disease could de-
stroy the Chlnc=c people or the peo-
pie OF any other nation without
spreading 10 the rest OF the race, 50
no great spiritual disorder can de-
stroy one-fourth of the human race
without effecting the other three
quarters" Either we must lift The
Chinese and the people OF India and
Africa up 10 our standards OF ciyI-
lization or else we shall sink q
theirs.
The new China Is being molded
after the patterns OF that nation
which she now considers her best
friend, America. But. notwithstands
ing this friendship. it is unsafe foF
America TO leave China to develop

speed; others take big lead off the
