The Widening Sovereignty of Christ

One OF the most Inspiring evidences
of the widening sovereignty OF Christ
Is that He has passed over the con-
troll of the territory of the world to
the Christian nations According to
Gulick's Growth Of the Kingdom of
God" in 1900 only per cert of the
territory of the world was controlled
by Christian nations, hut today So per
cent SO the growth of Christian con-
troll has passed in three hundred years
from I per cent to 50 per cent. while
the control of non-Christian nations
has decreased from % per cent to Is

have not told you yet about the
beautiful places in which l am liv-
ing. am with Robt. and Mary David
son, who have been out here in China
about thirty years, longer than any
others in our mission. 1t is most
interesting to hear them tell about
the times when they had to live in
a Chinese house ana wear Chinese
dress. They have one son who was
born out here and lived here till he
was thirteen years old. Then he
went back to England to be edu-
Gated, but last year he came back
to China, bringing mis- bride with
him, and they live in another house
on this same compound just across
a garden from us. Mary Naish is
staying with them. The gardens all
around both houses are simply mag
nificent, you would have to see them
to realize how pretty they are.
Three wisteria arbOrs are now just
at their height, and there are several
rose arbors and rose hedges just
coming into bloom. never saw
such a wealth of roses at home.
Rows of English daises all around
the flower beds have been and still
are very pretty. You may imagine
what a grand place it is for birds.
There are very few that l ever saw
before, but it is nice to make new
friends, and there are some beautiful
birds and some very pretty songsters.
You can buy all sorts of birds in
cages on the streets, for the Chinese
seem to be very fond of their song
sters.
l wish | knew what the papers
were reporting to you about the pres
ent state of affairs in China. It is
hard even for US to know what is
really happening, though we hear a
great many reports. This province
and city are very unsettled just at
present and are trying I'd decide
whether to stand with the govern
ment or against it. The people have
lost faith in the present president,
but the governor is man sent from
Picking, and there are also Northern
soldiers in the city who may make
considerable trouble if the city goes
over. One hour we near that the
city is going over and there is likely
to be looting and robbery on the
streets. The next hour we hear that
all is peaceful. There are negotia-
lions going on but no one knows
what the outcome will be. People
are afraid to speak about things for
anyone who is caught saying any
thing against the government is
simply taken off and beheaded. We
are not concerned for ourselves for
there seems to be not the least anti
foreign feeling. We only wish we
could help to make things better.
Yesterday morning my teacher came
with very long face and said he
feared the city would be plundered
and he was very much afraid for his
wife and children. He said the
mission compounds werS all safe,
and then appealed to me to know
whether l could suggest any way of
safety for him. knew he wanted
me to ask him to bring his family
here and did not feel that that was
exactly in my power. did feel very
sorry for him for he was pretty well
frightened. But more than day
has passed and nothing has happened
yet; SO we hope the trouble is likely
to blow over.
With best wishes for your work
and for each of you separately. am,
Your interested and well wishing
friend,
