Y, "Chang, the Editor of the "Christian Farmer,' bedressed the assembly on another evening on an "Interpretation of the Present Situation in China.". Prof William B. Djang of Checloo University spoke on "The Place of Chris-unity in China." His next address will be "What are the Advantages ud Disadvantages for our Church to Adopt a Creedal Statement," a sub-Jeet of exceedingly keen interest to the church.
