Eleven Oxford dignitaries have signed a manifesto against the at- tacks that have been made on Buchmanism, the new Oxford student "uplift" movement.

The manifesto says: "A report has been widely circulated regard- ing work of the groups in Oxford associated with the name of the Rev. F.N.D. Buchman, D.D. From what we have observed of the result of this work it is our bellef that this criticism has arisen from misunder-

standing and unfounded rumour, und misrepresents the spirit of the work,"

There is, however, luctance on the part of some of the a slight re-

signatories to identify themselves more fully with the movement.

Sir Michael Sadler, for instance Master of Balliol, had nothing to any except: "I confine myself to that statement."

The Rev. F. R., Barry, vicar of St. Mary's University Church; was of the opinion that others knew more about it than he

The movement, I find, is an at- tempt on the part of young men and some young women, who apparently find little satisfaction in the Churches, to "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and live the life."

on

It is aald by the opponents that the discussiona are chiefly purity and love, that sauls are inid bare by hysterical confessions.

A Bachmanite committee has issued a circular chiefly for private circulation, in which the alms of the movement are set forth. It states that there is a necessity for n re-awakening of religion,` It pledges full loyalty to the churches, and states that the main object is to promote vital personal Chris- tianity.

The Rev. L. W. Grensted, fellow and chaplain of University College, denied to me that there were mixed meetings. The women have meet- ings of their own," he said._·

"Has the movement had any effect on character?" I asked him..

"The men are better" at their work and at their games," he said. "One man, for instance, received from it just that Uttla bit more character and initiative to win a place In the Rugby team.”,-

A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE

"OVERLAND CHINA MAIL" ILLUSTRATED.

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

CHINA IS NOW MAKING A START TO RECOGNISE HER OBLIGATIONS TO OTHER NATIONS.

On good authority it has been learned this week that the Nationalist Government intends to restore the British Consulate building at Nanking to the condition it was in prior to March. 1927. We have been told that the agree- ment with contractors is as good as signed.

In itself, repairs, to one solitary building do not mean much especially after a period of consistent clamouring for the jettisoning of Treaties concluded in the past in good faith. But it is the beginning. IT IS, IN FACT, THE FIRST OBSTACLE THE NATIONALISTS HAVE TO CLEAR. TO SET IN MOTION THE MACHINERY FOR PUTTING BRITISH- CHINESE RELATIONS ON A SOUND FOOTING.

The major steps. of course, is the settlement of the unfortunate Nanking Incident of March, 1927. And this week has been a momentous one in the annals of Sino-British diplomacy. Important statements have been made by the Home Government thereanent. Just as important despatches have been published in Hong Kong on the same topic.

In the circumstances, a short review in newsy form of what has transpired will be welcome in all parts of the world. but particularly so in Britain. A colleague on leave, a friend who has never been out here, your relatives and your business connections are bound to appreciate the thoughtfulness shown in posting the publication which tells them what they want to know.. This publication, of course, is the "OVERLAND 'CHINA MAIL," the only illustrated weekly summary of China and local events printed in Hong Kong. As usual, the Hong Kong features, pictures, etc., have been included.
