The New Life Movement

(Continued from Page 3)

to them of the conditions in the country at large and particular- ly in their own districts. He pointed out to them the neces- sity of recognising the sacrifices their parents were making to give them educations and the fact that such sacrifices entail- ed a proportionate responsibili- ty on the part of the students to repay the community for what they were receiving.

As a direct result of this talk the students pledged themsel- ves to return to their homes to take active part in giving 3 practical impetus to the princi- ples of the New Life Movement. Some pledged themselves to open up kindergartens for the village children; others. to teach night classes for the adults; others, to lecture on hy- giene and sanitation; and still others to make fly swatters and to rid their communities of breeding places of insects which carry malarial infections,

The New Life Movement has already come within the reach of the humblest citizen and has much to contribute to the most enlightened. As it operates in Kiangsi, so it is spreading and flourishing all over the country. In conclusion let me quote from a letter from one of the foreign missionaries, now in Kiangsi, on his reaction - to the work sponsored there by the New Life Movement:

"The suppression of the com- munist-bandits and the work of the New Life Movement are proving to be the first stage of a long battle against ignorance,. dirt. carelessness, unsuitable dwellings, and the corruption that has for so long cost so much in human suffering. Like the programme of Christ this movement is concerned with the poor, the oppressed, the sick, and the little children who have never been given a chance to enjoy life. Out of it will come a strong and united China. which will command the res pect of the world; and the new China, like the very old one, will be based firmly upon the four cardinal virtues, with the addi- tion of those desirable elements which go to make a modern world."
