When the Rev. A. E. Small left Shanghai about three months ago to begin a lecture tour of Australia and New Zealand, China was being swept by the war feeling. The country was being roused by Japanese aggression, he told an audience in the Jubilee Hall, Dunedin, recently, and China was taking a fresh interest in militarism. “Previously only the scum of the country went into the army,” he said. “No decent person would dream of being a soldier. Now militarism is being taught in the schools. What a power a country of 466,000,000 warminded people could be. Here is a great opportunity for Christian influence to foster peace.”
