WAR RELIEF WORK
The Rev. M. Bruce, of the staff of the National Committee of the Y.M.C.A. of China, told Hong Kong Rotarians something of the splendid work being done in China by the Association at yes- "terday's tiffin meeting of the Club which was well attended by
members.
The Rev. Bruce said:
In 1992 there was held in Pei-
ping a conference of the World Student Christian Federation. To
this conference there came a dele- gate from the British Student Christian Movement. During his time, both at the conference and travelling around China, he made great friends with the delegates or the Christian Movement among" the Chinese students.
They suggested that in a year or 30. he might come out and work
with them in China. After much consideration, however, he felt that for various reasons he had to refuse this invitation. At the time when his reply was received Shang- hat had just been thrown into cop- fustun by the Nanking Road in- cident, and
the feeling between Chinese and British was going rapidly from bad to worse.
