“...PREFACE IN presenting to the readers the 1925 edition of the China Mission Year Book the editor wishes in the first place to express his appreciation of the willing collaboration by the writers of the many valuable articles herein con- tained. The task of an editor is, in such a case as this, a somewhat thankless one. Contributions have been sought from many busy people. None have received any remunera- tion for their work. Some have been pressed to write against time. In a number of cases a good deal of preliminary work has been involved in addition to the actual preparation of the article. Readers and editor alike owe a big debt of gratitude to these writers, a debt which will become increasingly apparent as the volume is carefully studied. Their thanks are also due to those who have assisted behind the scenes in various ways, among whom the editor wishes especially to refer to Mrs. Gilliland who has read all the proof and prepared the index and without whose help the work could never...”

“...that the sections on New Publica- tions in Chinese" and on 4bibliography of Books, etc., dealing with China'7 for which readers of the Year Book have previously looked to Mr. Clayton and Dr. Rawlinson, respectively, could not be included this year. On certain other subjects the reader may be referred to previous Year Books, particularly that of 1924. On such topics, for example, as Recent Religious Movements, or in reporting some societies whose work is much the same from year to year, it has not seemed necessary to repeat what was well said a year ago. The present editor is new to this work and only undertook it reluctantly when it seemed that no one else could be found for it. His conception of the service which the Year Book may render is not that of a mere record of events and statistics. His hope is that the reader may gain a true impression of the inner life of the Church in China and of the situation which it is facing to-day. In order to gain this end different points of view are...”

“...interests, are urged to read the first two parts which give the background political, socialr, economic, religious, for the rest of the book. Mr. Green's survey of the political situation and Mr. Zia's study of the Anti-Christian Movement may justly be singled out as of peculiar importance in this connection.. In Dr. Bo wen's chapter we have an attempt to show the significance of this background for the Christian worker. It is no easy matter to form an estimate of the true state of the Church in China. The writers of the first five articles in Part III have had peculiar opportunities for studying the situation and have made it their business so to do. The.net impression of their presentations, coupled with a reading of the editor's article on evangelistic work, should give a pretty fair picture of the case as far as it can be gathered together and presented to an outside student. In the remaining chapters in Part III certain special aspects of the Church's life and work are picked out as of...”

“...workers in this field. The editor's hope was to have presented an even richer variety. I The Christian movement in China becomes less and less ' describable as the Missionary Movement. In almost every problem the Chinese Church is a factor of growing importance. The small Sixth Part may be taken as an indication of the restricted field in which the missionaries, as missionaries, are interested in any special way. Even here the second article on the Missions Building might better have been included in Part IV. It is impossible to read Part VII without gaining some sense of the extremely interesting and indeed critical position now faced by the Christian educational forces in China. This should be studied along with such articles as those by William Hung and Miss MacNeil in Part I and the two first articles in Part II. It is scarcely too much to say that the future of missions in China will be largely determined by decisions reached and policies worked out in the educational field during the next...”

“...PREFACE vii churches in other lands, Part IX makes clear that the Church in China is already keenly alive to the urgent necessity of applying Christian principles in all depart- ments of life, in the home, the factory, the country, and so forth. Along with these chapters should be read Mr. Reisner's article in Part III, and, as a background, the later chapters in Part I. Much is being done in this field also which cannot be adequately reported. One important development in the literary world has not found a place in the Year Book as it is yet too soon to do more than merely refer to it. This is the formation of a group of Chinese Christian writers as a result of two retreats held last year. This group expects to produce a steady stream of indigenous .literature and so greatly strengthen the forces reported in the four articles included. The reader who wishes to study further in this field is referred to the 1924 Year Book where there is a good deal of material not repeated this year. The...”

“...PART I CHINA TO-DAY CHAPTER I THE POLITICAL CONDITION OF CHINA IN J924 O. M. Green Even in writing early in March, with peace nominally restored throughout the country and an imposing Re- organization Conference sitting in Peking, it is impossible to view the events of the past year and their probable outcome with any degree of hopefulness. Too many parties and persons are left out in the cold or stand in undisguised antagonism to Marshal Tuan Chi-jui and the Anfu faction. The Southwest, headed by Tang Chi-yao of Yunnan the province one recalls, whence sprang the opposition which wrecked Yuan Shih-kai's "empire" is openly hostile; the Kuomintang, with whom goes the rest of the South, stands acidly apart; Chang Tso-lin of Manchuria has parted from Tuan: it is even reported that an alliance between him and Wu Pei-fu against Peking is not impossible; at any rate Wu Pei-fu is not finished yet, as the clamant objections of Hupeh and Hunan to have him within their borders clearly indicates;...”

“....9 THE POLITICAL CONDITION OF CHINA IN 1921 Pei-fu. Early in February his lieutenant in Szechwan, Yang Sen, captured the provincial capital and, with the flight of Hsiong Keh-wu and Liu I-chiu into Yunnan, controlled the province. In April Wu Pei-fu sent troops to strengthen the hold of his ally Chao Heng-ti on Hunan. Hupeh he held, of course, through his creature Hsiao Yao- nan. Eastward he planted a portion of the Navy at Tsingtao and fed it from the revenues of the Kiao-Tsi Railway. In Nanking Chi Hsieh-yuan, overlord of Kiang- su, Kiangsi and Anhui, was his ally and a faithful one as events proved. In May, Wu Pei-fu caused Chou Yin-jen to be made Tuchun of Fukien, thereby securing that province and releasing Sun Chuan-fang to attack Che- kiang the seat of Chang Tso-linJs ally, Lu Yung-hsiang, from the South. And thus by midsummer, excluding portions too remote to affect the issue, Wu Pei-fu held a paper control of ail the essential provinces of China proper. Meanwhile Chang Tso-lin...”
