P'assumpsic
Large Audience Enjoy Address by
Shanghai Missionary

The large congregation that
came out SUNDAY morning to hear
Rev. Benjamin Webster from
Shanghai filled practically every
available seat. Mr.. Webster spoke
first to the children who gave keen
attention as he described to them
the boys and girls of China pro-
ducing group pictures and also
several denominations of Chinese
coins.
After the children passed out
Rev. Webster directed his remarks
to the adults who were eager 20
hear something first hand from
the new republic and from one of
their own boys. What he had to
say centered largely about the rap
idly growing Baptist college at
Shanghai where he is a teacher.
However, there were some ques-
tions of national interest which he
sought to throw some light upon.
The speaker said that in many
ways China was in q more settled
condition at present than the
United States and that he had felt
more of a need for carrying gun
since his return to this country
than ever in China. He said that
the money given for famine relief
was abundantly worth while and
the only concrete way we had Of
showing the people of China that
we really cared for them. He
said that instead of trying the in!-
possible task of staving off ship
ments of Chinese eggs to this
country we should raise the stan
dards of living there through
Christian teaching and the Chinese
would consume all tn e eggs at
home. That we need all the chill
dren of God and members of one
great family whose interests were
mutual. He said that China nad
a great history back OF her,
bright prospects for the future
and there to stay. Many of the
congregation remained a moment
extending their hearty greetings to
Mr.. Webster and through him to
MS Iainlly now III new Jersey, also
wishing him speedy recovery Of
strength before returning to their
field of labor next season.
The Grace Mason club had an eli
day session at the home of Mrs.
Clayton Kipp, nine ladies being
present. Mrs. Kipp furnished veg
etable and meat hash and the lad
les carried sandwiches, pies and
