apply the social prin- ciples of Christianity to their own daily living and in the service of their day and generation, The relation of the Church to demo- cratic ideals, patriotism, the ex- ercise of justice, equality-of men and women, religious freedom, education, was well emphasised in the report. In the discussion it was shown that the ancient Chinese exalted virtue as the `principal element of national life, putting it even above education.

It was shown also that the Christian Church believes only in monogamy, and should advocate maturer marriages and the gradual removal of child marri- ages, all marriages being based upon the consent of those con- -cerned.
