Christianity Still Preached in Red
China, Missionaries Are informed

With China under its present
regime, the work of all church.
es that engaged in mission work
in China is being tested. The
above is evidence which suggests
that there are Christians in Chi.
ma today who are showing the
stability they have in Christ.
These native converts made by
the missionaries are now becom-
ing the core of the church in
China and are instrumental in
bringing many others into Chris
tianity.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1959-07-23

Christianity is still beint
preached in China despite the op
position of the government il
power, according to information
pieced together from refugees
reaching Hong Kong and For
mosa.
longtime missionaries William
and Matilda Voth of the Genera
Conference Mennonite church
have been able to get a frag
mentary picture of the former
mission field they served il
China. The story is told in &
news release to this paper from
General Conference Mennonite
church.
For instance, a native Chi
nese who was converted through
the Mennonite mission had beer
ministering to his church for
some time before the Commun-
lists took over. Noting that his
congregation contributed to his
support, the Communist authori-
ties termed him a parasite on
society and forced him to turn
to weaving, a trade he had once
studied.
Very quickly he was able to
produce his days work quota in
only half a day, leaving the rest
of his time preaching. The
authorities doubled his quota,
then increased it again until il
was two and a half times the
number of yards produced by
other weavers.
He has managed to reach ev-
cry quota and still find time left
IOf MS ministry.
Another native pastor was inn
prisoned and whipped, then re-
leased. He continued to travel
about on his bicycle, bringing the
Christian gospel to all who would
listen.
Again he was jailed, this time
for a long period but his activi-
ties in the Jail led to Christian
conversions and he was released
as a madman - insane because
he was not capable of ceasing to
talk about God.
The pastor, of course, went
right back to his village to con-
tinue his preaching and to
bring encouragement to Chris
tians and non-Christians.
Communists first asked to
borrow" the large Kaichow-
Puyang Minnonite mission
church for a Sunday morning,
then proceeded to deliver an orr
entation lecture on Communism.
Next the church property was
heavily taxed, with the total tax
soon being more than the value
of the property. The government
soon owned the church building.
Next in the path of the gov
ernment indoctrination were a
Mennonite Christian high school
and a 100-bed hospital nearby.
Communist teachers replaced
the regular instructors in the
school, Communist medical men
moved into the hospital, Dor
rowing" instruments and med
icine until all the facilities were
exhausted. When nothing was
left the staff departed, attaching
themselves to other hospitals
and the Communists moved in to
control the DroDertv

Relocation
OfCemetey
Agreed Upon

The relocation of the 100
year-old Columbian Harmony
Cemetery and its $1,000 graves
has been agreed upon by OPP
posing parties. it was an
nounced today at District
Court.
The cemetery at Ninth street
and Rhode Island avenue NE.
is to be moved to Sheriff road
and Palmer highway in Prince
Georges County.
| Final details are to be worked
out by counsel. Opposing the
move were Attorney George E.
c. Hayes, representing the Lot
and Grave Owners Association,
Columbian Harmony Cemetery,
Inc. and several individuals.
Supporting the move was At
torney John L. Laskey, repre-
senting the Columbian Har-
mony Society. a non-profit or
ganization which owns and OPP
crates the cemetery. The So
ciety favored the move because
Of a shortage in funds for the
proper upkeep Of the cemetery
at its present location and also
because Of lack of space for
new graves.
Judge Joseph r. jackson
who last week heard testimony
in the case. explained he will
await action Of the attorneys
to work out certain details
which they will submit to him
before ne enters an order in
the case.
Under an agreement with
Louis H. Bell, of 4545 Connec-
ticut avenue NV. who owns
the new site. the old property
would be turned over to him.
Mr.. Bell has said he plans to
sell the property.
Under the agreement the
Columbian Harmony Society
would receive a minimum of
100000 which it could use for
the development of the new
cemetery site.
The new site, in turn, would
be operated by a corporation
known as the National Har-
mony Memorial Park. Inc, of
which Mr.. Bell is president.
The new tract covers more
than ITO acres, lot Of which are
to be used for cemetery pur-
poses. The old cemetery con-
tains a little over 80 acres.
Also under the agreement with
Mr.. Bell, the Columbian Har-
mony Society would receive rs
per cent Of the stock in the
new corporation, in addition to
certain other considerations.
