have been profoundly impressed by
the vision they have Of their task; by
their devotion and faith and intense
eagerness to undertake large and
difficult things in accomplishing it,
and by the way in which day by day
the conviction is being deepened
within them that it is God appointed
task. Surely we may look for won
derful things to happen when the en-
tire Chinese Church is permeated
with the missionary spirit OF self
sacrifice and devotion and is aroused
by real missionary zeal to undertake
to preach the Gospel even to the ut
termost part of the boundaries Of this
great land. This is Gods command
so it must be His will.

MISS PAXSON WRITES !
OF WORK in China.

airy Union, the Church Missionary So
ciety, the American Presbyterians
The American Baptists are hoping to
open work in southwestern Yunnan
The Y. M. G. A. and the British and
American Bible Society also have
work there. Besides these there are
seven cities in which independent
missionaries are carrying on evange-
1istic work. Some of the missions are
comparatively new and up until fifteen
years ago almost all Of them were
working in Yunnanfu. Now they are
fairly well scattered over the province.
Yet the missionary force is pitifully
small and inadequate to cope with the
needs and the growing opportunities
within that great province. Mr..
Fraser in writing of western Yunnan
says, Anyone familiar with the map
. Of China will know that western Yum
nan is vast stretch of territory
larger than many whole provinces Of
! China. A line drawn north and south
through the capital city will divide
off a tract of country to the west
vastly more extensive than that to the
east and probably more populous, too.
Taking the more conservative land

of Humans population at 8,500,OOOi
Western Yunnan will claim at least
100000 and yet it is the least worked
by mission agencies Of all. Not in
GLIDING workers among the aborigi-
mics and their stations there are only
about eight mission stations and
twenty foreign, workers in the whole
of the west of the province, while the
number of Chinese workers is shock
ingly small" Even now there are
only about seventy-five missionaries
for the entire province. A more de-
voted, heroic, self-sacrificing body OF
missionaries have not met in any
part OF China.
The missionary force is not only
too small for the needs of the work
but several things unite to make
mission work in the province difficult
One is the decided antl-forelgn leel-
ing on the part Of the Chinese This
has changed somewhat since the Rev
olution. Mr. Allen Of the China In
land Mission said that his mission
worked for thirty years in Yunnanfu
and the vicinity and had just thirty
converts but since the. Revolution the i
number had increased to more than
three hundred in the same district.
Mr.. Fraser says, "The unresponsive-
ness of the Yunnan Chinese can be
guaged from the fact that after thirty
eight years of almost uninterrupted
work the membership of the Talifu
church is only little over sixty but
we look upon it as 1ourishing work
as work goes in Yunnan."
Another difficulty is the extreme
hardship of travel over the mountain

and costly to the pocketbook. Ths
low exchange has hit some missions
very hard. compelling curtailmen1
both in workers and work. The work
is still very largely carried on by the
foreign missionaries even in the CAPT
tai city as the number Of educated,
trained workers is very small There
fore mission work in Yunnan is still
in the pioneer stage of development.
A few facts will make this clear.
There is only one hospital in the
northwest of Yunnan but it has been
closed because of the death of the
missionary in charge. / understand
DR.. Mason Of the American Presby-
terrain Mission is working among the
Tai in South Yunnan. There is no
Chinese doctor trained i'm Western
methods in the province. The C. M. s.
have plans for new hospital in Yum
nanfu which will be one Of the finest
anywhere in China Dispensaries
have been opened in a few places.
In comparison with the need and
the eagerness on the part of the Chi
nese for education, the number of
schools in the Province is pitifully
few. The government schools are
very poor, having adopted the new
system of education with its text
books but having largely kept the old
style teacher. There are several.
mission schools in the province of
lower and higher primary grade but
as far as / could find there was only
one high school for boys and none
for girls, at present. There has been
a splendid school for girls at Chaotung
but it has been closed because the Ill
health Of the missionaries in charge
compelled their return home. Be-
cause Of the small force Of mission
aries and the tremendous pressure of
the need for direct, continuous evan
gelistic work insufficient time and at
tention is necessarily being given to
the education and training Of Chinese
Christians. The imperative need of
the Province now seems to be for ed
ucated, trained, consecrated, spirit
filled Chinese men and women. No
matter how faithfully and effectually
the Gospel is preached by the foreign
strong, growing, self
church that seriously un-
dertakes the evangelization Of its own
people can never be produced apart
from educated, trained, consecrated,
spiritual, native leadership. or this
type Of Chinese leaders there is a
very great lack at present. How can
his. need be met?
1t would seem as though God were
giving us His answer to the question
and His solution Of the problem by
sending out to Yunnan six Chinese
Home Missionaries one years ago,
Zach of<whom is an educated, trained,
Christian. Mr.. T. S.Chen
llso joined them six months ago.
There for one year they have prayed

was decided to accept Miss Morgan's

could be made to continue work in
Yunnanfu and to open 1t in two other
places. Lufenghsieu and TsuYung.
This would require the sending out OF
eight new workers. 1t was decided
to ask Mr.. Y. S. Chen to become Field
Secretary, giving his time very large

vitations are coming in from many
cities to have the Yunnan Mission
work presented in the churches and
plans are being made to have mission
study groups at the Kuling andPel-
taiho Leaders Conferences. Where
ever the work is made known the
greatest enthusiasm is aroused and
God is increasingly using it to develop
a real missionary spirit and devotion
within the Chinese Church. Recently
the work was presented in church
in Shanghai. Four days afterwards
the Board of Directors met and de-
cided to give $500 to the support OF
their own missionary in Yunnan and
they even had the missionary to
offer. Young men and women in diff
ferent parts of China are offering
their lives for the missionary SER

CARE OF BEES IN
THE WINTER MONTHS
By @. S. GRECO. Bee Expert


Every Winter we are asked BY
beginners in the bee business to tell
them what is the matter with their
bees. They frequently find good
many dead bees scattered over the
surface OF the snow, or on the ground
In front of the hive. and Immediately
jump to the conclusion that some
thing Is wrong. A short time ago a
man came hurrylng to the store de-
mandlng 4 half-dozen good feeders
as the bees were dying in the hive
and the yard was Uttered with their
bodies lie stated that none Of their
supplies had been removed last Fall
also that the hives were very heavy
but-if they we're not starving why
did ,fhey die?
Many new beekeepers are under
the impression that all the bees In
the hive when cold weather comes
on should be alive and well in the
Spring. but this Is not the case. II
Is fact that the young bees. those
which were hatched so late that they
