If this arranzem porary one, Urcue! about by the Siei'chinese friends view with the abb nee as themselves, the policy 2 tactics which are being tup to the present this rational and praiseworthy attitude is entirely Jacking in Ability to make itself [heard or felt in the country, and no ingle one of its supporters seems to have the moral strength to take the lead in voicing their disgust at the disrepute into which the Bolssheviks have dragged the Nationalist movement, or to take atops to combat the poisonous doctrines Moscow, which are flooding China under its guise, These Chinese friends belong [chiefly to the merchant classes and although one might have expected [Chem to be spurred into some action the commercial ruin and chaos into which the Red wing of the Kuomintang is hurrying the country, it is perhaps on higher moral Jgrounds that such a movement might be looked for, and it is here that a [deeper tragedy lies, When we place the matter on a moral basis, it is surely to the Chinese Christians that we may reasonably look for the opening of a crusade against the lorying evils and atrocious conduct of {the Hankow campaign.
But what do we find? The National Christian Council, which is supposed to represent the general body of the Chinese Christian jehurches, has not raised one single Jword of protest against, or condemnation of, the intensive atheistic and deliberate anti-Christian campaign which has been organized by the Kuomintang in Hankow and Ganton and ix now i full and baleful Joneration, Nor have they, knowledge, expressed any indignation Jat the shameful treatment meted out to their foreign missionary assoc-futes, who have, in mary rely exeaped with their lives, been hounded down like dogs} fered lors of property and unspelkchie indignities, all at the hands of ignorant peasants, instigated and ported by the paid agents of ti Kuomintang. Tt wakes not slightest difference whether tive contre, left or right section of the Kuomintang is responsible, the actions themselves have been' those of Chinese against completely innocent foreigners many of whom have spent the best part of their lives in trying to help the ignorant Imasses in this country; and a body ich ay the representatives of Chinese Ohristinns should have been the first to express publicly and Junesrtain terms, their strongest dis. approval of this outrageous treat The Rev. T. %. Koo also recently had an opportunity of condemning: the tactics of the Kuomintang in this respect, but the reports of is ad~ dress "make it abundantly cle that he did nothing of the sort, but Jon the contrary said in effect, what a splendid high-minded party it what valuable aid it was reeelv= me from the Russians why are controlling it.
One thing is as certain as the rise of to-morrow's sun and that is that it. Koo and his associates in the N.C.C. will some day have to give fan account of their stewardship before the Great Judge of all men, Jand unless they exhibit some Christian and moral courage by and ureompromisinge stard against the present christian movement, before it an awful and terrible charge to face, in deliberately and shamefully neglecting a most solemn duty.
