Canton, Saturday. The present authorities in Can- ton, being supporters of Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, are determined to dissuade him from resigning the Kuomintang leadership.

resign.

I have made the earth and created man upon it: I, cvet uy hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. For thus saith the Lord that created the heaven; Ged himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he ercated it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else" (Ieo. 25: 11, 12, 19)..
