Certainly every effort has been made by the missions themselves to co-operate with the new order without sacrifice of essential principle. Lately, aj good deal of pressure has evidently been brought to bear on Christian organisations in China to elicit from them a variety of pronouncements on international questions more political than religious. And now comes the news that the great Catholic University of Fu Jen in Peking has been taken over by the People's Government. This institution, with its 3,000 students and large faculty, was supported by generous grants from the Catholic Society of the Divine Word in Illinois.
