THREE REMARKABLE SISTERS

Madame Chiang Kai-shek is one of three remarkable sisters in a Chinese Christian family, all of whom (says the .Christian News Letter) have become famous through their own outstanding gifts and activities and through their marriage to distinguished leaders of the new China. “ The eldest married Dr H. H. Kung, who has taken a leading part in the industrial development of China and has held the posts of Minister of Industry, Finance Minister, and Prime Minister in the Government of China. The second sister married Dr Sun Yat-sen. The third is Madame Chiang Kai-shek, Amongst her tireless activities—beginning with the schools started soon after her marriage—are the formation of a Moral Endeavour Association for officers, her co-operation with her husband in the New Life Movement, her organisation of the women of China to meet the trials of war, her scheme of relief for the refugees and war orphans and for the training of teachers to look after them, her services in the promotion of aviation, her part in establishing industrial co-operatives, and her labours in making the cause of China known abroad.
