John R. Mott spoke on various urgent needs and challenges now facing Christianity in China. These needs are a clear and authentic message, the augmenta- tion of Christian leadership, the liberation of a vastly greater lay force, the setting up of a triumphal Christian unity, the preparation of an adequate apolo- getic, and the interpretation and demonstration of the missionary enterprise as one of sharing. Dr. Mott felt that lack of Chinese leadership in the Christian move iment confronts it with one of its

greatest dangers.
