PRE-LENT CARNIVAL MAY

Berlin, Jan. 2.-The German gcv-

annual pre-lent carnivals which for
four days are held in virtually every

the lives of his soldiers One of the
greatest dangers in community in
China is when unpaid, angry soldiers
desert, become bandits and prey upon
the villagers for Likelihood. General
Feng is teaching his men trades, so
that if they leave the army they are
equipped to earn an honest living.
Soldiers work in his factories where
socks for army use are made on the
knitting machines, where there are
looms galore for weaving cloth, where
rattan chair making is an important
industry.
He has established the first chapel
in an army camp in China and open
ed the first little church in Chinese
prison. His soldiers are educated. All
gambling dens in the vicinity of his
barracks in Shensi and theatres are
closed and the buildings turned into
schools, workshops and preaching

are closed and refuge established for
drug fiends. He is a nation wide lead

.PAOTINGFU, June 20.-Interested

age displayed by the American mis-
| sionaries martyred at Paotngfu dur
| ing the Boxer war; converted during
meetings held by Dr.. John r. Mott in
| Peklng in 1911, General Feng Yu
Hsiang, famous throughout the Far
East as the t'Christian General" per-
haps is the most spectacular figure in
the civil war which is sweeping China.
General Feng Yu Hsang is the
powerful military governor (tuchun)
of lEhensi Province. In response to a
call from General WI Pei-fu, General
Feng left his duties in Shensi and,
with thirty-five thousand picked men,
made an eight-day forced march to
reinforce Wu's armies.
The. arrival of the "Christan Cen
eral at the front strengthened greatly
the morale of Wu's soldiers, as the
Chinese regard General Feng as "a
miracle man."
f L
fiercely and as if in frenzy the stir
ring marching songs written by Cen
eral WI, Feng's men shortened the
long march through the hills by sing
ing Onward Christian Soldiers!" and
around camp familiar hymns mingle
with the shrill, cracked blasts of the
Chinese bugle calls
Instructed from Bible.
For all of General Fengs soldier,
receive daily Bible instruction, and
many thousands of his men are bap-
tized Christians.
In 1900, when General Feng was a
student at the aPotingfu Military Uni
versity, the Boxer war[was at its
height. Joining the frenzed mobs of
Boxers who were determined to kill
the foreign" missionaries and Chi
nese Christians in the city, Feng
watched with great surprise the tre-
mendous courage displayed by the
missionaries.
Il remember hearing the men and
women of the American board Mission
(CongregationaD, the Presbyterian
Mission and the China Inland Mission
pleading with the mobs for their lives,
for their little children and for the
Chinese Christians" said General
Feng.
