pastor. Scranton. Pa, and was adopted
unanimously by the representatives of
every area the membership of all The
areas being more than 100000.
The resolutions say, in part.
''While the disturbed political con
ditions in China make it necessary
for our missionaries TO withdraw tenn
porarily from many of the stations in
the interior. the present situation, al
though distressing in the extreme, is
opening unexpected doors of oppor-
tunity.
Opportunity for Leadership.
"For years we have been looking
toward native leadership in the Orient,
and have been preparing our Chinese
Christians for positions of admins
tratiVe responsibility. The present up
heaval has thrust the opportunity and
obligation for national leadership upon
us sooner than we thought and in a
manner we did not expect,
BY far the major part of all of our
work in China today, educational,
evangelistic and medical. is in the
hands of our native Christians. AL
though social and political conditions
make the task at this time unusually
we rejoice that the unanimous
testimony of those who are best in
formed is that the work is going for
ward with most remarkable success.
Called Hour of Gratitude.
"This. therefore, is not an hour to
mourn, or to withdraw either our in
terest in or support of the work in
China, but rather we should thank
God that the Chinese church in this
hour of crucial testing is giving such
evidence of we'll grounded
strength, sacrifcial devotion and
heroic courage.
1.-THE missionary obligation should
be presented to our home churches
more frequently and should emphasize
the tragic fact that the failure of any
church or any Christian to meet the
Of the hour is a failure
from the consequences of which there
can be no escape. As an auxiliary and

NEW YORK, July 30.--The week in

active buying Of Consolidated Gas at
the highest of the year and OF Inter
