DESTITUTE RIk1SHA RULERS FLOCK TO SHANGHAI MISSION

SHANGHAI, May 24-Civil war while driving thousands of for eign missionaries from their work in China, has casued one mission enterprise in Shanghai to flourish This is the Shanghai Mission to Rikisha Men, which. according to it's recently published annual re port, ministered to the needs physical and spiritual, of 316,7OO cooltes, mostly rikisha pullers, during 1927
 More than 100000 free meals were served and sandals and oth- CT cheap clothing distributed while these contacts were used for preaching Christianity to the lowliest from Shanghai streets. These totals include large pro- portion of "repeaters."
 Thousands of destitute men driven by outside disorders to seek shelter in Shanghai tried to eke out a living by pulling riki- sha, with the result that 1927 saw more of this class on the starva- ton line than ever.
 The mission was founded in 1913 by George Matheson, Brit ish missionary, and Mrs. Mathe. son, who still conduct it.
