CHINA'S PRAYER DAY.
AN ELECTRIFYING APPEAL. RESULT OF MISSIONARY WORK. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, April 25. The Rev. F. B. Meyer has received a cablegram from the Federal Council of Churches in America. All are responding to China's appeal. Archdeacon- Moule, who was for fifty years in China, describes the appeal as electrifying. Lord William Gascoyne Cecil, who re--cently visited China to study the results of missionary work there, says two honorable motives are impelling China. First, the patriotism which fears the risk of disruption and humiliation from foreign domination and desires recognition as a nation; second, respect for Western religion. This appreciation of the value of Western thought and the anti-opium crusade also were significant. The English bishops invite the clergy to make intercession for the prosperity of the Chinese Republic. ■ EAST AND WEST. Received 27, 5.5 p.m. Pekin, April 20. Britain's and America's response to China's appeal for intercession has created a deep impression. The newspapers state'that the movement forges a new Jink, binding the East to the West.
