“...famine and a world war, the Christian missionary work in China has continued and increased. This is the reason for another issue of the China Mission Year Book. The Book aims to give some description of the background of the missionary effort, and therefore the articles on the political and economical development of the country have a place. Moreover, the facts described in these articles are also a help or hindrance to the progress of the missionary work. So also it was necessary that the Book should this year contain chapters on the great floods in North China and 011 the plague epidemic. Each year it is planned that the Book shall contain one section which will be the distinctive feature of that issue. This year Part II is noteworthy as describing recent developments in ecclesiastical organization. Special mention might also be made of Part IV, which is a summary of the present situation as regards Christian Literature in China, and an indication of the large development anticipated in...”

“...iv The China Continuation Committee is responsible for the China Mission Year Book only in that it appoints the Editorial Committee and the Editor. When articles in the boolc arc the expression of the policies or the views of the China Continuation Committee, this fact is made clear; in all other cases, the ivriter of the paper is alone respon- sible for the opinion expressed. To all the forty-two writers of these chapters, the editors would express their genuine appreciation of all their work. Many of these chapters contain the results of much research, and some of them of years of careful observation. It is the hearty cooperation of many busy workers that makes possible the publication of the Year Book. It would be invidious to mention a few where all have given of their best. Special acknowledgment, however, is due to the Rev. C. L. Boynton, who, as in previous years, has read all the proofs and is responsible for the typographical appearance of the book, as well as for-the statistical...”

“...guided through its early growtlrby the common action of different missions, with its inherent autonomy fully recognized and safe-guarded. But the same spirit has been acting elsewhere with growing definiteness and persistency. *For details see History of the Ecclesiastical Relations of the Churches of the Presbyterian Order at A moy, by the Rev. J. V. N. Talmage; New York, 1863. This pamphlet of 74 pp. 8vo., is now difficult to procure, but it is of great value and importance.

“...CHURCH FOR CHINA 89 a A f witliin the missions representing European churches which officially accept the Augsburg Missions Confession, one may also trace some diver- gencies of faith and polity. Perhaps it might be said that, as a general rule, the European missions represent the freer, the American missions the more strict confessional attitude. As a spokesman of the freer attitude we may quote a writer in the 1916 Year Book {(page 91) who, speaking for the Danish mission, says: ''The con- ference of Danish missionaries has accepted the term, 'The Christian Church of China,' and the principle of oneness as the ultimate goal at which we are aiming. The general tendency does not go in the direction of emphasizing the special doctrines of the Lutheran Church; at the same time we believe that as the spiritual life developed in the Church of our homeland differs in several respects from that developed in the Protestant churches of Scotland and Ireland, so will a Lutheran mission working in...”

“...in recent years, and this justifies the recording of this fact in this Year Book. No justification of any efforts to unify plans and work is needed in these days when on every battle front even pride of nationality and of race have been sacrificed to obtain that unity of action which is deemed indispensable.

“...to initiate mis- Misslonary sionary work among all the Tai people of Occupation China, literate and illiterate. The China Inland Mission has already established work among the Tai in northern Yunnan. The Christian and Missionary Alliance has declared its intention to initiate work as soon as possible among the Tai and other aboriginal tribes in Kwangsi province. The Baptist Mission in Burma plans very soon to open a station some distance west of the Mekong in southwestern Yunnan. The North Siam Mission of the Presbyterian Board has this year opened a station at Chieng-rung (Chieng-hung), on the Mekong not far above the southern border of Yunnan. It is because Chieng-hung is the first station in Yunnan to be opened exclusively for work among the Tai that space has here been given in this Year Book for this article. The Baptist and Presbyterian missions have a peculiar responsibility for the Tai people of China, first, because their work in Burma and Siam has always been largely among the...”

“...the foreign staff: so far as may be shown by an annotated list of new stations opened, stations previously occupied by some mission now entered residentially by others, and stations hitherto occupied which have been vacated, at least temporarily, since the publication of a similar summary in the Year Book of 1917. The facts are complete so far as data have been reported by mission and station secretaries, for publication in connection with the Directory of Protectant Missions in China, to appear early in 1919. In this list stations opened or newly entered by the allocation of missionaries for permanent residence are printed in Roman type; those vacated in Italic type. In the few cases where the occupation began before the period under review this is indicated by the symbol with the year, where known. The same of the mission occupying is given in parenthesis, following the name of the place....”

“...understand BooksQCe China the pa;st year has been especially noteworthy for an accelerated accumulation of valuable data about things Chinese, in a number of valuable books of reference. Of these three stand out. The two volumes of the Encyclopedia, Sinica, by Samuel Coul- ing, M.A., constitute a compendium of vital facts about China. This work represents an amount of research that will lighten the labor and save the time of many. Strictly speaking, it is an encyclopaedia covering the period of Western impact upon China, written from the point of view of what the Westerner wants to know! It is a work which one may pick up at any time and browse in profit- ably. Next comes China Mission Year Book, which shows the results of the impact of the West upon China from the Christian standpoint alone. It indicates the wide range of Christian activity and influence, and, in the improved accuracy of its facts, marks another step forward in the science of missions. It is an indispensable book to all who would...”

“...shown in Chinese Students Then and Now. The literary activity of these students is shown by Mr. T. T. Lew in an article entitled The Voice of the Chinese Student, wherein lie treats of seven publications" issued by them. We might note that there has been published for several years in China a magazine called The Chinese Social and Political Science Review. Unfortunately we have been unable to get hold of copies for the current year. Education Only one book on education in China has come under our notice that is worth serious attention, and that is a reprint of Dr. P. W. Kuo's The Chinese System of Education. It is true that Chap. IV of Mr. D; E. Cloyd's Modern Education in Europe and the Orient deals with China, but this is entirely too condensed, is unbalanced, and already out of date. It appears to be a study at second-hand and of a type not to be reckoned with. The articles on education are not numerous, but suggestive.. An appreciation of the relation of education to political life is...”

“...CHAPTER XXXIX THE SALVATION ARMY IN CHINA ITS PLANS, PROSPECTS AND POLICY Charles H Jeffries I readily respond to the request of the Editor of the China Mission Year Book to contribute to its pages some account of the present position of the Salvation Army in China, and its future policy. It has been a matter of considerable ChinaDS t0 surprise to many friends of the Salvation Deferred Army that it should have left China amongst the last of the countries in which to com- mence its work. International headquarters for years have been urged to commence operations in the 4 'Flowery Kingdom"; again and again missionaries and others plead- 4'come over and help us." The question of opening China was continually before our revered Founder, General William Booth, and during the past twelve years no less than seven officers were specially commissioned by head- quarters to visit China and reconnoitre with a view to commencing operations. Some of them travelled thousands of miles into the interior...”

“...PART VIII MISCELLANEOUS CHAPTER XL THE TRAINING OF MISSIONARIES IN CHINA Frank K. Sanders At the request of the Editor of the China. aTisit810 Mission Year Book I am putting into a brief summary the impressions regarding the training of missionaries in China gained during my stay from April to July inclusive of the current year. They express only my personal opinion, yet may justify publication on the ground that I have covered nearly all the activities in China incident to missionary training, and all but one of the schools organized for the purpose. I have also discussed the questions involved with a great variety of missionaries who have taken every conceivable position regarding them. The result in my own thinking is virtually as follows: Principles Three general principles emerge as a cs basis on which fruitful contributions to the clarification of the subject must rest.

“...in addition to large bonuses paid to employees. What are the industries doing for the workers? In general it can be said that very little is done for the employees without reference to the demands of efficiency in production. Interest in the worker as a rule goes as far as what is necessary in order to secure high profits. In other words, welfare features for the sake oT the human factor in production alone, have not yet secured a foothold.

“...PART XI STATISTICS AND CHARTS C. L. Boynton For the fourth year the statistics of mis- Statistics sions in China have been collected on uniform blanks' in accordance with the schedules suggested by the Committee on Statistics appointed by the Continuation Committee of the World Missionary Con- ference, 1910, with slight adaptation to conditions in China. The results are presented on four sheets enclosed in the pocket at the back of the Year Book.
