Christianity in China An interesting talk was given by the Very Rev. C. W. McDouall at the vicarage on Sunday night to past and present members of the Church of England Men’s Society on some features of his work at the cathedral in Peiping, where he had been for the past 12 years. The aim of the missionaries was to encourage the development of the Chinese branch of the Holy Catholic Church, in communion with, but not part of, the Church of England. They were still able to carry on their services under Japanese occupation. The mission schools were a great feature of their work, and Miss Beryl Steven was their diocesan inspector. The refugee problem in China was a gigantic one. It was estimated that the homeless numbered 100,000,000 —a quarter of China’s population. The people appreciated the assistance and prayers of Christian nations, and the 5.000,000 Christians in China would be largely augmented when the warfare was ended. The Rev. Mr McDouall will speak in Invercargill and Dunedin this month, and will preach at St. Lukes at a later date. • Our Neighbours ” Rotarian the Rev. John M. McKenzie was the speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Oamaru Rotary Club, taking for his subject “ Our Neighbours.” New Zealand, he said, was in close contact to the United States/ Japan, and China, but in a sense they were more closely linked with China. Chinese, ever since the early gold rush days, had been residents of New Zealand. He spoke of the floods and war in China, and said that if their immediate neighbours were in trouWe, from fire or flood, it would be their first instinct to help them. They should then think beyond their immediate neighbours, and think of international neighbourhood. They should be ashamed that the great nations of the world had been unable to stop the conflict in China, but if the nations an--1 swered the appeal of Madame Chiang Kai-shek, and saved the children of China, they might be able to undo some of the harm for the benefit of the future. Rotarian E. F. Armstrong presided, and on the motion of Rotarian A. Hamilton, the speaker was accorded thanks for his address. A short address on the need for help for the children of China was also given by Mrs A. Young.
