In Christian England our seasons and our calendar combine to give us perfection of symabolisin linking- wlater and the Nativity with spring and the Resurrection. And all fa centred in light, the first, the essential morcy shed upon chaos in preparing it for life.

That the story of the guiding star and the birth of the Babe should be set in our time of briefert daylight-"in the bleak; midwinter," na the carol has it—; holghtens for us the meaning of the words: "The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light."

CHINA'S RICKSHA

Peking.

Few Americans have come to China and ridden mile after mile behind a steadily running ricksha boy without being convinced that there was plenty of Olymple cross- country material to be found here. These convictions were borno out on Now Year's Day when rick- alia paller Chao Teh-ming of Kwelhwa, frontier metropolis in Western Inner Mongolie, pounded in first of a field of 200 in the an- nual cross-country-race. Galloping through ankle-deep dust in the city's stroots and running easily over the hard, wind-swept plains outalde the city walls, Chao finish- ed the 30,000 metre course in 35 minutes, 19 seconds.

Conaldering the condition of the coarse and his total lack of scienti- fie coaching, Chao's time remarkably good, just three min- utes behind the 1932 A.A.U. record, for instance. Whether or not China comes up from behind to challenge Finland In long distance. running appears to depend, there-i fore, upon whether its Olympic Committeo continues to high-hat' the lowly ricksha boy-United Prcas.
