CONNECTING SHIUKWAN WITH ICHANG,

plans for the raising of the neces- sary funds with which to prosceute the construction of the railway to link up Shiukwan with Ichang, in Hunan province.

The Association has fixed lengthy, programme this week as a fitting observanco of the week of prayer and fellowship for the

World Y.W.C.A.

The invitation to Dr. Yul, to speak at their head- quarters, was one of the many attractive items which the Asso- ciation' had arranged. ·

After congratulating the women on their recent progress with Y.W.C.A. work in Hongkong, Dr. Yul said: Although the Chinese people were formerly divided into four main classes, the scholars,

Class Struggle in the West. You take the clase struggle in Europe and also in America. It is terrific. The results are really harmful, especially the struggle between the capitalists and the labourers, the employers and the employees. Again, fortunately in China we do not find such things, although recently some people are trying to make an outery here and there to the effect that here in Chiun we also have this clas system and that we ought to carry on this class struggle. Let me say this afternoon, friends, that here in China wo have enough troubles of our own; let us not try and borrow any of these things from the West,

To-day is, therefore, set aside to pray for this greater harmony between different classes of people and for the countries of Europe and Amarlen; this may be a day of special importance, For us, I think the importance should not be reduced in any, way, because although we are not quite so un- fortunate as to have this sort of class distinction and struggle, and so on, we ought, nevertheless, to look upon the people of the West as our brothers and sisters and when they are in trouble, we, at least, should remember them in our prayers, on that this trouble with them can be done away with as soon as possible.

I know that when that the Chinese people were try to be all three at the same riticised and were despised as a time, we get criticised right and people with no idea or conception left.
