Chinese Christian leaders. It was sp pointed in May last at the annual meet- ing of the Chins Continuation Committee, and for several months has been making preliminary arrangements for this first great joint conference of Chhand missionaries representing all of the co- operating churches in China.
As plans have progressed it has become increasingly clear that the time allowed paration for so important a gathering. The survey of Christian work in China, upon which the Survey Committee of the China Continuation Committes has been engaged for the past eighteen months, can hardly be published in Chinese and in English before May of next year. This work is the most thorough-going study in any country of Asia and the results of its kind that has ever been attempted will be set forth in a quarto volume of A Graceful Lady and her Troupe The World's Favourite Musical Introducing Their Maryellens about 450 pages. It will provide material for a fresh study of the Christian Move-i ment in China and it will require some months before the bearing of the facts on the present sims and policies of the missionary societies can be fully appre- ciated. It is bound to raise questions of a very fundamental character.
