The challenge of Nationalism ro Christianity was dealt with on Foreign Missions Day at the General Assemblies. In the Church of Scotland, Dr. J. R. Ogilvie, Convener of the Missions Committee, pointed out that Nationalism was no new thing in China; but the Nationalist of to-day was not that of a sect or family or dynasty; it was the Nationalism of a people. and an endeavour should be made to it Christian. In India the Nationalism had at its core a thrilling adoration for India of the past, and an ambitious hope for the India of the future. The cry in India was now government by the Indians for the Indians. Some. thing very like Home Rule had been given to India. He would be a bold man who would prophesy what that might mean. But one thing was clear, that it meant difficulties for some time to come. Their mi: sionaries were satisfied, however, said Dr. Ogilvie that this great Nationalist development was good. sound, and healthy.
