or the American Jews are reported as |
seeing in this announcement one of
the means of solving the Jewish |
problem, especially just now while |
the war is raging and the rights of |
Jewish citizens in some of the Euro |
pean countries are little regarded |
Ihere Is only one diScOrdant note and |
that comes from Oscar S. Straus. who |
visited Madrid one year ago. He said |
that conditions are not such as to |
justify their (the Jews) return. as
there is still a deep underlying preiu-
dice and the discriminating laws have
not been abrOgated." He cites the
opinion of Doctor Yahuda who he
said, had been lecturing in Madrid
University and who, after an investi-
cation, was obliged to take the same
stand as Mr.. Straus.

| Just as Christian schools are a
mighty factor in the homeland so also
are they being used in China for

God and building up his church." says

China.
I'm the Interior China Mission we
are seeking for correlated school
system which will include every vii
lage of Honan Province that has been
reached by the gospel. We do not
think that the school can precede the
| evangelist, but that it should find it's
place along with him. Starting with
the village schools doing primary work
we are seeking to have schools for
grammer work and on up to the col
lege grade. In this way we will be
able to select, by competition, desir-
able pupils, those who give promise
, for the future, rather than to fill our
schools with undesirable students just
for numbers.

, to help pay the teachers. That is
to give the teacher from two and q
