Think Of
Tulips Nov

TULIPS are undoubtedly the
L most popular Of the spring
blooming bulbs. This is because
OF their enormous color range
and their considerable variation
in form OF flower and in height
Of stem. Most gardeners do not
appreciate the length Of bloom
ing season that may be had
within the tulip group because
they have no conception Of the
number Of species available nor
even the number Of types that
are commonly used for garden
planting.
Long before the large lowered
tulips bloom. tulips may be had
in the garden. The little wild
species originally collected from
Asia and Africa Will make them
selves al home in American
gardens and Will give bloom
year after year with practically
no care

Bishop Chen Of China
Speaks al Retreat Of
Methodist Union

Spreading Christianity is one of
the chief factors making old China
into a new China Bishop w. w.
Chen of Chungking, China, yester-
day told a special retreat, spon-
sored by the Methodist Union, at
the Foundry Methodist Church,
1900 Sixteenth street NV.
Bishop Chen was introduced by
Representative Judd, Republican, of
Minnesota, who declared it took
the chaos of 1867 to awaken peo-
pie to the fact that the new Chris
tians in China did not need mis-
sionaries from the West to run their
affairs" The Chinese, the Repre-
sentative said, could lead them
selves provided they are given help
by Western countries" Pointing to
Bishop Chen as an example, Rep
resentative Judd asserted future
Christian advances in China must
depend upon native leadership.
Bishop Chen, stating we all are
living in an age Of decision and of
tremendous changes" listed the
new Christian leadership among
the influences changing China.
Sixteen of "a of the most impor-
tant Offices are held by Christians
in China" he said, adding that
more than so per cent Of the last
Chinese Who's Who are either
Christians or graduates of Christian
schools even though only per cent
of tho population have adopted the
faith"
The speaker also emphasized that
China, once an "old mans country"
is now run by the youth. More
young men are in positions of au-
thority there now than in any coun-
try in the world" he maintained
In addition, Bishop Chen said
China today has a world outlook
wherein East and the West meet"
Henry Gilligan, president of the
Methodist Union, presided, The
Rev. DR.. Frederick Brown Harris,
pastor of the Foundry Methodist
Church and Senate chaplain, gave
the evening prayer. The Rev. DR.,
john R. Edwards, retiring superin-
tendent of the Washington west dis
trict, asked C. c. Hung, pastor OF
the Chinese Community Church, to
say the benediction in his place.
