The Rav. Pao Kwang Ling of Peking opened a discussion on the Christian Message. Ho attempted to give his own experience of Christianity. These he felt to be a life, a force which enabled one to pass peacefully through fortune and misfortune, to withstand temptation and to adhere to principles without compromise.
Those elements in Christianity which make the deepest appeal to the Chinese people were analyzed by Rov. Paoag (1) equality; (2) liberty; (3) charity; (4) loyalty; (5) the sacrificial spirit; and (6) its practical application of its prin- ciples to life's needs.
Some of the distinctive features of Christianity were also given. Inasmuch as it was founded by a young man' it is a religion of youth and necessarily agressive. It brings sne into touch with a personal Father-God. Furthermore, it in cludes within itself all in human nature and all in other religions that is religious and pious. He felt, however, that Buddhism might con- "tribute something to the religious life through its example of simple living and that Taoism suggest ed important principles in these phrases: To make, not to have," To achieve, not to posacea," which mean that when we have achieved something we should at once share it with someone else

The greatest need of India, Mr. Gandhi went on to say, is work for the starving villagers in their own homes.
"I am most anxious to bridge the gulf between the rich people and the paupers. I see no way of find ing abiding happiness for this land unless there is a living bond created between these two."
