The 100th anniversary of the organization of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. was fittingly celebrated on one evening when appropriate addresses were delivered by Dr. Paul T. Abbott of Shantung, the Rev. Henry Payne of the Baptist Mission in Tsinan and the Rev. S. S. Chu of Soochow.
Dr. P. C. Hsu "delivered two addresses which were" thoroughly joyed by ell One was on "China's Cultural Background" and the other en "What Contribution has the Church to Offer to China's Reconstruction." Mr. H, Y. Chang, the Editor of the "Christian Farmer," addressed the assembly on another evening on an "Interpretation of the Present Situation in China." Prof.
William B. Djang of Cheeloo Univer-y spoke on "The Place of Chris-Vanity China." His next address will be "What are the Advantages ud Disadvantages for our Church to Adopt a Creedal Statement," a subject of exceedingly keen interest to the church. Thus far the Church of Chi in China has not formulated a creed of its own, but has made provision that such constituent burdies who had creeds before uniting with this church, could ruin them until such a time as the united church will formulate her own creed should such a time ever come.
The commission reports on the home; the faith and message of the church; evangelism; ce-operation and unity; christian literature, the rural church; and Christian Education have been presented to the general assembly h recommendations which will shape the programme and direct the efforts of the chi during the next four years.
