“...the Christian Church therein are changing. Nevertheless much in this volume is still pertinent to the current situation since all the events and conditions it records are being built into a new China and a new Christian effort. Thus viewed it is also a cross-section of present-day making of history in China. Above all, this volume shows that China and Christianity therein are both developing a new pur- pose and a new outlook. This annual is, therefore, a record of setbacks that are slowly receding, of recon- structive aspirations that are also slowly gaining strength and are in turn being articulated into a new purpose in Nation and Church that is revealed chiefly in new programs, which are nonetheless significant because the inevitable fluxes of an un- finished Revolution retard and often prevent their realization. All the chapters reveal the present...”

“...a book of beginnings. Inevitably their realization will take much time. One cannot forecast with certainty when the Chinese Church will attain China-centric maturity nor when the Chinese Nation will finally be stabilized around its new political and social ideals. One cannot doubt, however, that these beginnings of political, social and religious revitalization of life in China are sufficiently sturdy to win through the vicissitudes of infancy to a worthy maturity. Taken altogether, therefore, this volume, while in places frankly realistic as to actual conditions, permits of an idealistic hope as to the future. Not the least significant feature of this volume is the fact that forty-three and a half percent of the writers are Chinese. Their contributions provide the major clue to the changes taking place in the social and political life of China and the Church therein. That is as it should be! Some of these writers have done masterly research work in order to make their contribution to this...”

“...iv of existing conditions is illustrated in the chapter on "Labor Organizations in 1928," where the utmost care has failed to secure figures that always gear into each other. Anent Christianity statistics are conspicuous- ly absent except to some extent in connection with education and in the chapter on "Missionaries in China/' and even there they are incomplete. The present situation in China does not lend itself to statistical summaries. As a result this volume deals in the main with various prevailing conditions and the psychological changes and attitudes embedded therein and affected thereby. The Editor has striven, with the help of Dr. MacGillivray and Rev. C. L. Boynton in the non- exhilarating task of reading proof, to keep the volume free of errors and. variations in spelling and typography. He cheerfully and, indeed with little agitation of conscience, confesses that he has failed! Not the least conspicuous difficulty in editing a volume of this nature is the fact that its writers...”

“...PART I NATIONAL LIFE CHAPTER I POLITICAL PROGRESS IN 1S28 Chengting T. Wang Eventful Years The annals of the Republic of China record two eventful years: one is 1911 in which the Manchu Dynasty was overthrown and a democratic form of government installed; the other is 1928, the year under review, in which the war-torn r.ation, hitherto divided in authority, was happily united under one flag and under the leadership of the Kuomintang, the political party which had been responsible for the establish- ment of the Republic in 1911. Tutelage and Reconstruction For China, the significance of 1928 is increased by the fact that it marks the beginning of the period of political tutelage and national reconstruction. Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the Republic, divided the task of the Kuomintang into three parts with three corresponding periods: the military period, the tute- lage period and the constitutional period. To employ military force for the unification of the country under the hegemony...”

“...t. It was certainly the year in which China accomplished most in putting herself upon a footing of equality with the other members in the family of nations. One can read with profound interest the Proclamation of January 5, 1912, issued by Dr. Sun Yat-sen as Provisional President of the Republic and countersigned by Dr. Wu Ting-fang as Minister for Foreign Affairs. To this document one can compare the Manifesto of the National Government of June 15, 1928, and the Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the following day supplementing the Manifesto. In these documents one can find striking similarities. Both occasions called for the announcement to the world of the consummation of national unification, the assurance of China's traditional friendship for the Powers and her due respect for international obligations, and the expression of her sincere hope that the Powers would, at the earliest possible moment, negotiate new treaties with China on the basis of complete equality and mutual...”

“...former capital had gone down before the propaganda of the Nationalists. At the China New Year, an abnormal number of shops went bank- rupt. Foreign firms gradually withdrew their agencies, which were running at great loss. Many of the Northern officers and still more civilians were secretly in sympathy with the cause of the Revolution. Manchuria Chang Tso-lin, the Manchurian autocrat in con- trol of Peiping, read the writing on the wall. At the end of January a proposal was made to Nanking for cooperation in seeking treaty revision. Early in Feb- ruary Mr. Edwards, Officiating Inspector-General of Customs, was instructed to come South in order to reach a working agreement with the Nationalist Authorities for the collection of surtaxes. While the Nationalist forces were advancing and upon the occurrence of the Tsinan Incident, Chang Tso-lin issued, on May 9, telegrams to civil and military authorities throughout China, announcing that he had ordered his troops to cease hostilities and that he...”

Six days later a mandate was issued ordering that the name Peking be altered to Peiping, meaning "Northern Peace" instead of "Northern Metropolis," and that Chihli was to be altered to Hopei.
