In the first place the Council was not, as bad been said, definitely committed to the increase in the number of Chi- nese councillors: they had made no definite pledge and had not exceed ed their authority.

A group of students, numbering 200, from the National University services at the Chinese Independent (Peita), broke into the Easter Christian Church, announced that they had taken over the place, put guards at the doors, and two of their number forced the church members to listen to anti-religious talks. There was only one foreign.. er present at this service, and she declares that the disturbers were almost all Southerners, because, although she "understands Korthern Chinese dialect well, she could not understand half that they said.
