China was a country in time past unified by the iden of loyalty to the Emperor-Son of Heaven and every official of the monarch was sent out as the agent of one culture. So the people thought and spoke and wrote in the same way. China was a unified coun tery to-day. It was one in thought, in love, in relationships, in art, and in life, but not in politics, be cause the Chinese people had never been trained to deal with organis ed politics.

Missionaries in Japan.

A plea that Christian mission aries in Japan should specialise on their essential task of preaching the Gospel and expounding Chris tianity to the Japanese was mada by Miss Leonora E. Lea, a mis sionary from Japan, when speak- ing on "The Christian Community and the Christian Task in Japan'

Missionaries had built hospitals, centre of welfare work and the like, she said, but when one came to examine these places there was often very little preaching of the Gospel in them. Could they call that real missionary work? It was sometimes said by the Japanese that many of the missionaries had quite forgotten to preach the Gos- pel, and it was a criticism made wore often against the modern missionaries than against the older missionaries.

Unfortunately one does not hear enough of the achievements of these splendid pilots, who possess be- tween them a sum of experience and deep, knowledge of airmanship that is not surpassed by any body of aviators in the world. Men and women who daeh about the world on spectacular sporting flights and worthy of respect and admira tion they are-get plenty of public. notice and laudation. The work of the military pilot still wears an air of romance, but these men who ply regaderly without fuss over the air routes and are responsible for the safe conduct of the airliners remain comparatively unknown and their

The people of China, we are now told, need thorough shaking, a violent stirring-up, to bring about that change of heart which can only save the country from complete dis. aster. In fact a perusal of the lectures and articles might almost lead one to imagine that it is the people of Chins, and not these pro- fessors and politicians and their class, who have been governing the country these last dozen years.

Peiping, January 30.-The Pro fessors have been at it again, writes the North China Daily News Paiping correspondent. In lec- tures and in the Press they have been giving vent to their patriotic and warlike feelings, telling the public that China must rely on herself alone and advising the au
