The China Continuation Committee is endeavouring to co-ordina ate the Christian forces in China with a view to assisting the Christian Church to render its contribution to the upbuilding of China. Its Social and Moral Welfare Committee, which reported last Friday afternoon, is endeavouring to assist the Church to take an egressive attitude towards social and moral problems. This Committee reported that it had prepared special reports on '"'Commercialized Vice" and "Alcoholism" in China. The Committee has also distributed carefully selected list of literature dealing with various phases of the social vice. There is an increasing demand for this type of literature. Among other things, the China Continuation Committee decided, on recommendation of this Committee, to urge in a cablegram the passage of the Bill on Narcotics now before the United States Congress. The necessity of organizing a permanent Social and Moral Welfare Commission to carry on the work of this Committee was also emphasized.
Saturday morning was devoted to the discussion of the relation of the intellectual awakening in China to the Christian Church. It was shown by several of those present that this movement is affecting Chinese women equally with men.
Dr. Henry Hodgkin, of the Friends' Foreign Missionary Society, pointed out that—this movement in China is not an isolated phenomenon but closely akin to movements in the West, both in Christian and non-Christian countries.
Rev. R. O. Joliffe, of Szechuen, also pointed out that the effects of this movement were felt in far distant fields throughout West China.
Saturday afternoon was given to the discussion of the "China For Christ'? movement which seeks to stimulate the Christian Church to assist in meeting the spiritual and social needs of China. This organization started in December, 1919. Through its bulletins, of which 300,000 copies have already been sent out, it is growing in influence.
