A feature of the day's sessions was the short devotional service in the middle of the morning, led by Mrs. C. C. Chen, of Shanghai College. The Council sent a cable- gram of greeting to the National Christian Council of Japan and it was also announced that the National Christian Council had been 4 asked to appoint twenty delegates from China to the world meeting of Christians to be held in Jeru antem in March, 1924 Of theso delegates three-fourths are Chinese and one-fourth missionaries,

The delegates were asked first to tell how far in their judgment the National Christian Council has rea- dered actual service to the charches and then whether or not the time has come for the constitution or organization of the Council to be

REDUCTION OF CAPITAL
CONFIRMED.
A petition for confirming the reduction of the capital of the China Provident Loan and Mort gaze Company, Limited, and Re-) duced, from 86,000,000 to $3,000,000, was heard before the Chief Justice (Sir Henry Gollan) as the Supreme; Court yesterday morning.
October 19th. The principal issue of yesterday's discussions was the status of foreign missionaries and properties under existing conditions in China. Mr. T. Z Koo made the point that the Council was a clearing-house for the Protestant Christian work of China rather than an official spokes man, for the churches and not in a position to make statements on these points so much as to encourage the development of Chinese church bodies. During the discussion of church life at present it was made the place of foreigners in Chinese very plain that there is no question on the part of the Chinese as to a genuine desire for a continuance of their contribution to the Church, Mr. Koo and several other speakers, however, expressed the need which is now felt for clearer definition of In sharp contrast to these few the working relationships, which criticisms were the many apprecia missionaries should from henceforth

The Chinese delegates made it clear that their sense of Christian solidarity has very much deepened and broadened during the last five years. In addition, there is a grow ing consciousness of Christianity as a world movement. This again is one of the results of the work of the National Christian Council.
Frequent reference was made to the influence of the Council in push- ing forward the question of Chris tian unity and one of the most encouraging things about the Coun cil is that in a time of political and mental stress and strain it has been able to uphold the ideals o! Christian unity and demonstrate the possibility of a bond of Chris tian fellowship that can withstand many shocks and strains.
