from DR.. Fl. w. Miller. director of
medical missionary operations in the
Far East.
DIR. Miller stated that the present
attitude of the Chinese has made it
important that the missionary workers
become versed in the Chinese language
and that they are now engaged in
preparing themselves so that they
may return to their stations at the
earliest date practicable.
There are some encouraging fea-
.tVres as we face the future, from the
standpoint OF seeing Christianity de-
Xelop in this land he said. and for
many decades Christianity has had the
handicap in China of being popular
from the standpoint that it afforded
the people Il chance to learn the Eng
lish language and to acquaint them
selves with Western methods. The
new China today will have the effect
of letting the mission work stand as
something a man must make a sacri-
flee for in order to enter without hop
ing To increase in political influence
or of government backing. Therefore
we look forward to a strong church in
China in the future
DIR. Miller said that most of the
Chinese Christians had remained
loyal and that indications are begin
ming to be manifested that the strong
communist elements are subsiding.
For IL years prior to going to the
Orient DR.. Miller was medical super
intendent of the Washington SAM

SURPLUS OF WOMEN HITS
GRETNA GREEN ROMANCE
Town in Scotland Losing Fame for
Marriages as Daughters
Increase.

GRETNA GREEN, Scotland, me
4-The big increase in the surplus
of Englishwomen, as indicated in re-
cent census returns, has robbed
Gretna Green of any hopes of stag
ing comeback. The good old days
of romance are gone forever, aver
the townsfOlk.
Daughters were far more scarce
hundred years or SO ago, than now
when parents SO rarely try to shoot
any young sports who purloin them.
Gretna Green did most of it's rushing
marriage business between 1874 and
1856.
One of the popular paintings is that
of romantic passengers in a post
chaise hurrying to the town on the
boundary line between England and
Scotland and showing the pursuing
fathers vehicle in a ditch with the
wheel broken down. This picture is
more in demand than the village
blacksmith himself who used to lend
helping hand to parties bent on
clandestine marriage to avoid the
English law.
