found in the three-fold effort of the

evangelical and educational. The
Baptists have 20 preparatory schools
in the United States, five of them

burn Classical Institute, is in Wat

No Paisley shawl has been woven
since 1880, when the beautiful shawls
went out of fashion and none is likely
ever to leave the looms again. The
shawl had it's origin in the ambition of
the Paisley weavers to produce on the
loom the amazingly elaborate patterns
wrought by the needle of the Cashmere
shawls that had been sent home from
the East by Scottish officers and traders
and they surpassed their models.

subject of China. DR.. Huntley said
that the country Of China was de-

Ameriia to supply leaders and to
train her young den to become lead
ers. That patriotism is fast coming
to be a force in China was proven
by DR.. Huntley when he cited the
example OF $1,000 students who de-
fled the government. Educational
training from America is not enough
for the Chinese people but they need
Christian training also.
