( )nc hnndi'ed and twenty-live men and women came Iroin ])arts as far a])art as Seattle and Alabama, l.os /Xn^eles and 'Toronto, San I'raneisco .and Poston, d'his was made ])os.sil)le h}' the Student X'olimtecr Coincn- tion, held there, I tecemher 2nlar publi¬ cations once made a remark in a club meeting to the effect that in colleges he found enthusiasm for “college life’’ but be did not find enthusiasm for college edu¬ cation. A Popular Conception of College Life '1 hat most colleges have altogether too much “college life’’ in pro])oiiion to college study is an assertion w'hich few im|)artial observers, will deny. hOotball rallies, \i- carions athletics on the bleachers, garrulous athletics in dining room and |iarlonr and on the |)orch, rehearsals of the glee club, of the mandolin club and of the banjo, rehearsals for dramatics, college dances and haiKjnels, I raternily dances and su|)|)ers; a numing up and down the campus for ephemeral items for ephemeral articles in ephemeral papers, a running n|) and down in college jiolitics, making tickets, iinlling wires, adjusting com- hinalioiis, canvassing foi' votes; spending hours at sor- inity houses lor sentiments; talking ruhhish, thinking riihbish, revamping rubhish rubbish about high jinks, about rallies, about |)seudo-civic bonors, about girls this inces.sanl round of social activities leaves too little time for tbe (piiet, thougbtful, scholarlv mastery of aca¬ demic subjects. I’bere is fre(|uently nervous tension and inability to gel anything done w'ell because there are so many things which need doing all at once. However, “college life" as siuli does not belong to , Akde I'niversity everv student on the camjius; only the ruling class—the socially fit—enjoys it. Those who have no social |)res- tige and those from abroad with their difficulty in the language and adaptahilit\' are disfranchised from i)ar- tici])ation. They are, so to speak, ostracised trom societv, seeking ex])ression and companionship in books and scholarshi|) before the bar ol grades. ( tsteiisihly, these are the fortunate. But. are they? Values in College Life 'I'he truism is that “college lile" ha-' m its own way an edncatixe \alue. The student in all lus association with his fellows is learning. W hili' indulgence in "col¬ lege lile” lends to breed intellectual poxerly on the campus, a complete immunitv from it is .apt to result in social stu|)idit\. t'ons(.'(|nentl_\, the problem ol "colk'ge lile" is twolold : to the socialU' lit it is oiu- of pro|)or- lion and to the unfit and those Iroiii abroad it is oiii' td’ ada|>tation. 'fliese two problems, though distinctly different in nature, are interdeiH'iident ; the soliitioii id both depends on a clear understanding on the iiaii ol the students of what “college life" consists of ,md its significance. “t'ollege life" has two grou|)s; the organi/t'd and the niiorgani/.t'd. 'I'o the former belong the athletie, literal ), Iraternal and ridiglous associations; to tiu' latter, the intormal reading, talking, |ila\ing, ‘'mixiiig" of iweiw- day lile, \isiling and walking for romantic purposes. Athk'tic and literaiw activities in lailk’ge are denoted hv the term ‘kaillege spirit.” “|oin the loothall or has- kethall sipiad. attend .and i heer at the games; t r\ out for the glee club or anv hter.arv societv, get ad\ei Iiscmenl fur the magazines, or in anv case do something lor the 15 cullege. Don’t make your relation to it merely one of study. Cultivate a larger social interest of some kind.” A spirit as such signifies loyalty to the social welfare. Participation in College Life Ifvidently, "college life” along athletic and literary lines has its educational value of a developmental kind. In the participation of the activities essentially social in nature, one identities himself with the group and so with the hroad and healthy life of the institution; he ailupt> a purpose larger and higher than his private aims, and thus accpiires, a hahit of co-operation. Fur¬ ther, the enterjirises offer, as a rule, an o]>portimity to learn something about subjects outside of the curricu¬ lum. They typify the student’s way of adjusting him¬ self to the inevitable concentration in purpose aud method in the college curriculum of today, and of gain¬ ing a broader view of human culture. In fact, the very effort to spontaneously pursue these activities is self¬ training in many lines of work—in argumentative alert¬ ness and effective address, in gTai)pling with contem- [torary jir^Tlems and developing artistic talent, in the practice of conducting meeting and transacting busi¬ ness. Theref(.)re, a college education which lacks i)articipa- tion in activities, athletic and literary, is incomplete ; and the student who falls a victim in this failure does not measure up to the wdiolesome standards of college life. ()n the other hand, amidst the participation in athletic and literary enterprises, there is usually too much em¬ phasis on concerted, vociferous enthusiasm and too little upon quieter, less conspicuous implication of good col¬ lege citizenship. Earnestness in those activities is fre- ((uently held to extenuate the purloining of a reserved hook from the library, the presentation of a copied essay, or a j)lunge into dissipation. These and other similar consequences of college life as such tend to offset its real value. They result mainly from excess, due to a misconception of the real aim of college life which is educational and not recreative. Fraternities d'here are at present some thirty-three college fra¬ ternities and seventeen college sororities having a na¬ tional organization, besides the local fraternities in single institutions and the professional fraternities with no college chai>ters. The fundamental advantage of a fraternity is that it constitutes a college home. ]\Iem- hers are "brothers,” .sympathetic, mutually heli>ful and lifekjng. Indeed, wherever the wayfarer finds a group of college }Ouths wearing his own mystic letters he is assured of being “at home.” However, the life of “frats,” though looming so large in the newspapers, causes scarcely a ripple on the cam¬ pus. It is a life detached, exterior to the real spirit of college, d'lie purjuise, interests, habits of a fraternity are divisiv'e rather than co-operative. It tends, to break Up the living organism of the college into fractions and, sometimes, troublesome parts. These evils are intensi- tied by fraternity residence which is the center of social distractions. As one’s time is not acknowledged to he his own and all sorts, of good-natured interruptions are freiiuent, educatinnal earnestness gradually yields to the hahit of good fellowship. In fact, the social excite¬ ment in the case of sorority women is sometimes so sustained as to interfere with health and ])roduce a ner¬ vous or exhausted condition. Religious Life 1 he religious life of college today has changed from its early narrow sectarianism to a more lil)eral view. It has become less a matter of verbal profession and formal worship and more of eager aspiration, warm sympathy and practical helpfulness. The central feature of the religious life of the college is the chajK^l service and the student organizations such as Y. M. C. A. and W. C. A., which are constantlv striving to deepen the spiritual currents of student life. The character of the chapel service, however, varies widely. Sometimes it is almost ideal in reverence and I'eauty; sometimes it is utterly lacking in earnestness— from the visitors’ gallery, one sees newspapers and note¬ books, hears a steady buzz of whispered conversation, and feels the restless impatience with the mechanical ceremony. Often, the convenience of the gathering leads to the introduction of non-religious matters. The solemnity of the occasion is lightened bv humorous an¬ nouncement and the seivice of worship passes easily into a football rally. However that may be, chapel serv¬ ice is the religious center of the college. The chapel service of the college has a spiritual as well as a social value. The quiet quarter hour at the beginning of the day, the inspiration of song and prayer, the wisdom of a brief talk on the more serious aspects of college life—all these have a steadying power for one w'ho puts him,self within the reach of it. Life needs some such ])eriodical retreat from its busy enterprises and nervous strain. Communion with the realm of ideals brings steadiness of aim and an intiu.x of strength which are nowhere more needful than in college life. I'urther, there is the social value of chai>el service. It calls the college family together and reminds the mem¬ bers that they belong to one group. The words ad¬ dressed to all alike, the common participation in the form of worship and the mere physical proximity .serve to suppress differences of sentiment and to highten the sense of unity and brotherhood. Unorganized Forms of College Life The unorganized forms of college life occupy a very im])ortant i>lace on the campus both as regards the time element and the value element. Free as.sociation, casual discussion, spontaneous i)lay, visiting and walking with young ladies—all tliese constitute a regular part of the 16 (lailv scliedule of a college student. True, they take too much time and are often utterly trivial in character. Hut there are possibilities of real helpfulness in play, in talk and jest of the campus. .As such, they properly helong to college education, and its participants are learning to go through life in a good-natured, sympa¬ thetic and kind way. The college of today is no more a sheltered world where one dreams away the four years of “ideal” life with men of his own class and of his own prejudices. It has become a real arena where every tyjre of men whom one will meet in his later life is represented. Hence, one of the most valuable opportunities of col¬ lege life is the chance to get acquainted, not politely and distantly, hut informally and intimately, with all types of men and minds from all ])arts of the world and all classes of society, so that one may learn what the young men and young women are really thinking and ho[)ing. Knowledge of men is an indispen.sahle feature of real education : not a knowledge of their weakness, as many seem to mean by the jjhrase, hut knowledge of their strength and capabilities, so that one may get the broad¬ est possible symjiathy with human life as it is actually lived today and not as it is seen through the idealistic glas.ses of our forefathers. The unorganized forms of college life offer the best means for the attainment of this knowledge. For, in free association and incidental recreation, one spontaneously reveals his true self which is too often under the mask of formality for others to visualize. The Ideal College Life The ideal college life of a student is not what it is, as I have stated, lint one of modification and modera¬ tion. It is, that of faith, hope and love, seeing the world as ruled by a power which makes for righteousness and strengthens us in our living; mi.xing democraticallv with all kinds of people, picking our friends according to their congenial interests and picturesque personalitv; active in some form of athletics and in one or two .societies; talking as much as we read, awaking to ideas of larger imjxirt than our little world ; learning much from sparks that we strike from our friends and their conversations; susceptible to all currents of life around us, knowing the professors as men and the companions as adventurers in the enterprises of learning: such life 1 like to think as “ideal" college life. It is a life that truly educates and truly nourishes. Its attainment for the socially fit on the carnims requires a sense of jn'O- [Kirtion and rational self-control, and for the unfit and those from alrroad, a means of introduction and the ability of adai^tation. PERSONAL INVESTMENTS IN INTERNA¬ TIONAL GOODWILL By JMiss Annk AI.vkie Ckousi:, C incinnati, < ). M oke imjjortant for the cause of international good will than our individual attitude toward the League of Nations, and more ftir re.aching in the cause of foreign missions, than our signature to a check, is the use we Americans make of the rich r)p])or- tunities for international friendshi]>s with the foreign students among us. Not one ought to he left to the tender mercies of a common rooming house, :dl too often improperly or insufficiently nourished, his coming and his going out unnoticed, buried amid piles of hooks, his, most intimate and often only associtite the esteemed Mr. Noah Webster. He needs live friends to exjilain tlie didicult i)assage, with whom to share hoiiK* jiictures and news, to hel|) him relax when he has brain f:ig, to cheer him when lonely, to take a kindly interest in his physical and spiritu.al needs. While true of ;dl foreign students, this is especially true of the ( triental w ho needs more help in becoming “acclimated” to onr life, :ind who, rightly or wrongly, usually feels himself at first the object of more or less unfriendly cnriosit\' or at best cold indifference. Having very few dormitoiies connected with ( in- cimiati schools, we have tried, not always successfully, to locate our toreign hoys and girls congeniallv and in- e.xpeiisively in homes where the interest did not begin and end with the reni.al and .at the same lime where there would not he nndne restriction. Then as we go about among our friend', and when ^piaiking hefoie chnrches, missionary and patriotic societies, we ask th.at some will, on a en a new column in this book to which all can pour in our private thoughts and findings for mutual benefit, I am satisfied.

My mission on this earth is "to fight against evil and to tight for good.” To accomplish this is not an easy^ task, and 1 deem it worth while trying to set it as my 18 life motto. I put the idea iti two short sentences which run like this,: "Lhiconditional accei)tance for whatever is sjoocl and true, and relentless censure of what¬ ever is evil and corru])t.” These two sentences are very simple and can again he I'lit under two words “good and evil.” However, when you begin to apply it, and apply it strictly, you will lind it so diBicult and begin to appreciate the com- I'rehensive meaning it embraces. It was simply through the realization of this i)oint that I took it as my life philosophy. Now I shall tell you how I adopted it and how big' is tl'ie scope of the motto. 2. How adopted. At first, I wondered why so much was spoken of Jesus Christ and so many people were worshipping him. This fjuestion was answered when once I attended a church service where the life story of Theodore Roose¬ velt was thrown on the screen. lie was shown in all his struggles against the political gang in New ATrk City. Especially in one jdace his spirit was vividly put before my eyes when one of his discharged officers spoke, “When we are doing our dutv and doing it up¬ rightly, there is no fear of the ‘tiger’: because he will always stand on our side. But as .soon as we are doing something corrupt, we are sure f)f the result: hecau'^e he neither fears the mayor nor anybody else.” I felt at that time that unless Roosevelt was relentless against evil and corruption, he dared not to stand against all the world. Unless also he was unconditional in accept¬ ing the merits of others, his subordinates could not have said and felt as expressed. Some time later f found his hf)ok called “Fear Cf)d,” and T began to realize that the source of power of his life comes from (he one spark of religion which Is to serve God, to live and to fight. At that time, it happened also that T was reading daily the orations of Abraham Tu'ncoln. T admired his courage. As no one had ever dareil to ojipose sla\’erv which was, so univer.sally aece|ited as the legalized insti¬ tution, his signal shot against I )ouglas showed his dauntless spirit right nn the surface. But where ilid he get this courage and vision to light? llis words will show his aellon. Read his speech delivered in his home town before he accepted the presidency and sound his feeling, read .also his tirst and second inauguration speeches, you w ill Imd that his power and xasion to fight .against slavery lie in his perfect conlidc nce in (lod and in God’s righteousness. At that time 1 was .also keejiing my morning watch, anrl was reading the last few ch.aiiters of F'osdick’s “Manhood of the Master.” d'he courage of C hrist was looming up before my eyes. His standing .against the Pharisees, his daring speech against them, in calling them “hypocrites” and “vipers,” his righliiig sjiiril for the cause, his indomitable spirit of perseverance when even Peter had no courage to stand and deserted him to the cross—all this picture had made a tremendous impression on me. d'hen I began to realize that such a vigorous life was the inspiration for many lives. After thinking over all these cases for many days, I came to the conclusion and declared the life view in the.se two sentences aiul called it “mv fighting philos¬ ophy of life”: “Study the life of Roosevelt and Lincoln, test the life of Christ and his influence on others, and search the history of mankind and all its worthy members, you will fail to find a single being who does not live and fight, fight against some evil and fight for some good. For indeed, otherwise, it is not even worthwhile to live. The value of this life of ours rises, and falls in pro- ])ortion to the strength, the zeal, the method of the fi.ght, and the benefit that the fight ])roduces-— I shall call this ‘my fighting philosoiihv of life.’ ” Now. let me illustrate the difficulties involved in carrying out this life view. Each one of you is conscious that when you speak these two sentences, they glide along very smoothh- in your mouth. But when you carry theni out. vou get an entirely dififerent meaning. Here are some examples : Case I. For instance, you are facing vour own temptation. When “.Satan” siicaks to you “go to hell.” '‘>T)u say “1 am relentless against anv evil." So you will command “get hehind me.” But when you trv, \ou will see that, right after the command, }our second thought Is an.xious to call him hack and to dotrov vour words of pniinisc “relentless censure.” It is a case ha|)pening all the time in the course of resisting your temptation and forming vour char.actcr. Tndeed, who¬ ever ean c.arry the motto through the crisis is twice blessed. Case H. Idir inst.'iiice, you hate a person .and ha\e prejiuhd'es .againsl him. .So no matter how good he is, you .alw.ays h;i\'e criticisms .'igaiii'-t him. Then mui are called upon to have common counseds with him, and \'ou liiid th.at you arc' uiiahle to gi\'e what merit he deserxc's. 'I'liis Is ,'i very couimoii case and. I think, every one has some e.xperieuce of it. Hid you e\'er succeed to step o\'er the person.'d prejuilice ;uid carr\ out the motto to its logical conclusion ? ( ase III. I'or instance, you are c.'died on one dav by the school authority to (|uit on the ground of s.oiiio acts which, vou know, are perfecllv right .'iiid which vou have done lor a cause. < 'r, in addition, vour fric'iids who were kind to vou before turn their hacks. ( )r, even your “sweetlieart” though it is too livpothelical and extreme a ease—will speak against von. .Suppose the acts of your case are perfectiv right a.nd courageous alter you have thought over it again. ( )r, su|iposc you 19 are even required to give uj) }-nur life. If you do so, you will will the liattle liut lose your life; if not, vou will lose your liattle Imt get a eouifortalile living. In all those eases, are you going to earr_\ your tight through or go halfway and make couiprouiises? Now, you will see from these three eases, one against teuiptatioii, one against prejudiee, and one for a good cause, the difliculties in earrviug out the life motto. In most of the times, you are lighting right against vour own instincts; and, in many iustaiiees, you are engaged in a task too hig for our human eajiaeity. So many lives have come and gone, hut how many choose to and can live a vigorous life according to the motto? I consider this a worthy ideal to try. All of us know that to turn the wheel of C hiua at any moment in the future will require more fighting spirit than wisdom and lietter we should get it now if religion ever means anything to us, B. Afy z'icu’ tmvard God. \\ hen I had fmished iiiv .story. Dr. Fsu remarked, “It is very well to hold this life view. How do you know whether this life view is worth while or not? What is your assurance in the ultimate victory of good over evil? Do you recognize some supreme force with which and for which you are working? P'or, otherwise, one does not know where he is going.” “Exactly. That is why 1 want to complete the state¬ ment now. 1 recognize one Supreme Being in the uni¬ verse, who is immensely interested in the same fight, to whom I communicate in my prayers, hy whom I shall be assigned to work, and on whom I hang mv whole life, sorrow, joy and all. I think that is enough to explain my view toward God.” C. My z'iczi’ toivard the church. “Then, why don't you join the church, so that you can have the companionship and mutual encouragement of like-minded people?” asked Dr. Tsn. “I join my own church. That church is built after my own fashion. There is, no sect, no denomination and no dogmatism. My church is founded by Christ, not hy theologians. iMy church preaches consistency and ncjt controversy. My church adores highly the plain fellowship and love and not the goodwill hidden under the coat of armament. However, 1 jiromise you to join the New' China h hurch which will lie formed very soon and under which there will lie onlv one sect,” MY REASON FOR ENTERING THE CHRISTIAN MINISTRY By y. P. Met, Oherlin College 1 \\'\S at one time a heathen. But ever since my conversion there has been a consciousness—the still small voice?—in me that I should spread the good news to others. However, it w'as hazy at the begin¬ ning and I have never thought about it seriously until my last year in college in Peking. iMen come by their decisions, some throngh insjfiration of the moment and others through a long process of consideration and de¬ liberation, and my case belongas, to the latter category. The last two decades saw most of the radical and definite changes in China and Chinese life politically, sncialK, economieallv. edncationally, and what not. d'hese changes and their rather unsatisfying results im- jiresscd me. while iircjviring myself for the career of an engineer. Bv watching these remarkable events and by disen-sing tbcm with mv college chums I became con¬ vinced that they were good things as far as they went but did not go far or deep enougb, and that such changes were hnt little better than “changing the water while retaining the herbs.” It was (juitc clear to me that social reforms have to be accompanied by individual regen¬ eration. (df course, they arc cause and effect mntually, hut I believe in tackling them from l)oth ends. From conditions in China I was led out to view the world. It seemed that strife and misery were not monopolized hy China, and that the realization of their existence dejiendcfl largely on the sensitiveness of the sufferers and observers. As I tried to unearth the cause of the state of affairs I founrl the same conclu¬ sion that I arrived at in the case of “heathen China” would do verv well, unfortunately, for Christendom. I consider it a good-sized miracle that I did not at once conclude that Christianity did not make any difference but felt that Christendom needs to share conversion with the heathens. 'I'hus far it was only an intellectual conviction, though a firm one, in me that religion was needed, if not wanted, in China and in the world. And it was the National Christian Conference held at Shanghai Spring before last that decided me to fall in line in Christian service myself. With all the respect for our Christian workers of the older generation I have to say they did not strike me as equal to the challenge created hy the developments, in various directions in China during the last few vears. In fact, one of the remonstrances that keeps coming from friends re my decision is “^\ hy should vou with your jiromi.se of usefulness join that crowd ?” I f to some this seems to be a hindrance to me it is, an urge, and the same attitude in me meets and defies the so-called “sacrifice” of the Christian minister in China. I have thus far traced the steps of my decision. Dif- 2U fcriti^ from Tsaiali aiul Amos I Iiavc neither heard any voice nor seen anv sij,ni from heaven. But what more do I need to Iiear or see when tliere is such a tremendous volume of cry of suffering- and such an unending pano¬ rama of sights of vice? While [)ain pushes there is a haiijtiness that draws me on to Christian service. All through the ])criod of my struggle, was actively evolv¬ ing a central princijile—the princi])le of attaining the supreme ha])piness. 1 laving arrived at the conclusions and convictions as I did I feel I can’t stay out and be hajrpy. For what haj)piness can compare with that of working with a princely leader for the cause of uplift¬ ing man froni selfishness and its consequent dwindling and dw'ariing of personality to working for the common good, the Kingdom of God. and its consequent expan¬ sion and full realization of jiersonality ? Among the many ajipeals with which I was at one time actually showered upon 1 was, most deeply im¬ pressed hy the thrice repeated question from the iNIaster himself: “Lovest thou me? Feed my flock.” I love Jesus, I love his cause, and I love his flock. Tiieretore I go to preach the gospel—can I help it? THE INDIANAPOLIS CONVENTION: A PERSONAL IMPRESSION By Miss Lillian Kwei Clafi.in Hall, Jl'cllcslcy Collcfic T in*., sjiirit of the Indianapolis Convention cannot he to'd in wonls. It has to be experienced. The six thousand delegates from all jiarts of the world whose eyes are usually centred on the affairs of a single college are there brought face to face with the problems intercollegiate. For instance, students from one college may emphasize lack of understanding as one of the causes for racial ]ircjudices while students from another college may bring uji concrete causes probably un¬ known in the first college. This exchange of iileas greatly broadens our vision ami makes us want to see Ihings from different |)oints of view. W hen we begin to realize that there are many points of view, we can’t help becoming more tolerant towards those who differ from us. \Vc think of oursehes as students from such and such an institution, but more as members of tbe educated world. I he Convention has not only hi'oadened our vision but also set us thinking. It does not offer to solve the |)roblems for us, but is docs ])resent them to us. We sense the challenge. We no longci" can assume the attitude of “letting sleeping cople wbo know of the numerous hard- ships and flisap|)ointments. Their religious enthusiasm will not blind tbem to the valuable contributions of the nationals. 1 sball not be sorry at all if onl\' a few people volunteer as a result of tbe Coiuention. .'\s long as tbev arc missionaries of whom Christ will be |)roud. 1 hav(' found ibe Coincnlion broadening, cballcnging and wise. Those Inc short days will lore\er dwell in my memoiw because they will strengthen me at all times with the thought that over six thousand people are marching under the same banner and strixing after the same Ideal. THE INDIANAPOLIS CONVENTION OF THE STUDENT VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT By Wi'.i.i.i NwroN l.ir, I larvard /. Sdinr fiixnf “dope." \VA bail some very good “flo|)e, ” to use a ^ ankee cNpi'cssion. I be s|)cakers for tbe (Oinention were all sincere ;ind earnest Cbristian men delixei'ing tbeir messages convincingly. Wdto, for instance, with a clear conscience would dare to face I )r. .Sherwood Fddy’s challenging question "Is America 9eace, it remains to he seen. One thing is certain; Tomorrow's world is in the making. IJI. The Chinese Delegation. IMany of our Christians lose their faith after a few years’ stay in this country. This is a lamentable fact. It is alleged that American materialism has something to do with it. Others believe that our youngsters are not well taken care of by either their churches or their friends. P)Ut that the spiritual indifference on our own part must contribute a good deal to this loss of faith seems to me undisputable. So a convention like the one we had in Indianapolis ought to be helpful to us Christians from every i)oint of view. W'e had 125 boys and girls in our delegation, the biggest foreign delegation in tbe Convention. Most of the American colleges and universities were represented.' Lven from the Pacific coast there were four. In spite 22 of the crowded ])ro»Tani of the Convention we found time for several _»et-togethers. Two socials were ar¬ ranged whereby new acquaintences were made and old friend.''hi|>s renewed, d'here was harmony everywhere and at all time, d'wcj mass meetings were also held. The\ were enthnsiastic as they were i>icture.sque. The first one was devoted to C. S. C. A. affairs. The second one was gi\en to discussing national affairs of importance. 1 lome missionary movement happened to he the main topic. To show that when we discussed a tiling we reall\- meant business, a suh.stantial sum was raised and sent to the Home Missionary Society, Shanghai, China. In one of the socials we invited to attend all our American friends who had been in China. We reserved 80 places in the Y. M. C. A. dining room, but 150 came, d'hat was a splendid sight. I have no doubt that most of the Americans who came to our social came at the expense of some other “goings-on.” That they all preferred to come to our social was an honor for which we ought to be thankful. At the risk of digression and irrelevance, allow me to venture the following oin’nion about the missionaries in general. Missionaries are not fashionable jiersons nowadays in our eyes. We ]>refer to meet John iJeweys and llertrand Russells. Many of us are even out-spoken enough to say that they don’t want anything to do with the churches just because of the missionaries. Wdiy? Recause the missionaries have been ])ainting too dark a picture of our land and our people, d'bis is undoubtedly true. Rut does that mean that all missionaries are crooks? Sfime of them mc'iy have been misinformed, others may have laid wrong emijhasis; some may have drawn conclusions from insufficient facts, while others may have made statements altogether too sweeping. Rut at heart 1 beleive they are trying to hel|) ns and our people. If mi.s-sionaries and spies and fore-rnnners of imperialism become conterminous, I will be the first one to show them “this way out.” Rut v\'e must hi‘ candid and sportsmen enough to be grateful to the missicjiiaries who .are still doing positive good in ( hin.a, their mist.akes and shortcomings notwithst.anding. W'e must not be senfimenl.al .and over-sensitive. 'The next time we he.ar .a mission.ary talk on a caatain lieatben ( hinaman dieting on sn.akes, beating his wife and drowning his dauglitei', let ns tell them with .a philo- THE CHANGING ( * I\e|)riiif by com ti’sv ' 1 ly 1 ’,\ui.

The Lcsso)i. After the Convention Dr. d'su wrote to us; “The Indianajrolis Convention has gone into historv. P)Ut it has become a jaermanent part of our lives. There we caught a vision of the breadth and depth of the religion of Jesus Christ such as we never knew before. There we pledged anew our jrer.sonal and corpr)rate lovaltv to the commanding figure of the Master and His wav of life. This experience shared by each of us with the rest of the seven thousand young men and voung women of the American colleges cannot but be an increasingly powerful factor in our lives as the years go on.” This ought to be the lesson we have learned from the Con¬ vention. But to put it in concrete terms, I will draw two conclusions by way of a .summarv. First, we have seen the Americans work their religion on a big scale. W'e are too familiar with the American way of doing business. W'e have seen their motor car manufacturing; we have attended their textile shows: we have visited their banking institutions; aiul we have examined their |)acking houses. W’e say to ourselves; “these Americans do their business all in a gigantic fashion.” lias it ever occunasl to us that the\- work their religious ])roblem almost in the same wav? A nation without an ideal can not prosper. Rerha])s the Americans are not so materi.alistic as we want ourselves to believe tbem to be. .Secondly, we h.ave seen that we Christians are wiling to l.'ice the f.acts. \\ e discuss tlu’ industrial ]irobl(.'m and lind out how unchrist ianly we beha\e. W'e raise the racial (piestion, and we seem to know for the first time that Christ was .a Jew. W'e talk about the evils of war and we made a resolution to expose onr own weakness, test our own l.ailh and disclose onr own h\])ocris\-. Right or wrong, we w.anl to f;ne the facts which is a good tiling to do. In a word, so long as we c.arrv the spirit of the t'on- \’enlion lioine and give it ;i clianci’, the Convenlion we just have h.ad is .a great foiaa’ for good. This Coiueii- lioii is very nncon\aailional : that’s its strength. W'e may becoiiu- con\cait ioii.all \ niicons cut ional ; that's oiir danger. MISSIONARY* il ( liri.sliiiii ( CiilKi'v) na' 111 N.SON how locoiiN'ert the non ( hrislian world. ( )m' reporter (d the Coiuaaition suggested in last week’s issue three reasons that might accoiint lor this. To tlurse another might he addeil, n.aniely, that ttntil lliesi* inter r.aci.al 23 prdhlenis are faced and dealt with the modern student asked to enliNt "to convert the non-Christian world,” is likely to rej)!}', “Convert! To what?" d he foreii^n missionary enterjirise of the churches remains one of the few agencies for world understand¬ ing and y'ood will that is, to an appreciable extent, accomplishing that end. It is no slight rcsi>onsihihty to hring together seven thousand students, and ask them to consider the investment (d' their lives in this form of ser\'ice. A college is, at least indirectly, imder ohli- gation to its re|>reseutati\es to see to it that the call they face is gennine enough to he worthy ot any answer they may make tt) it ; an organization is under moral bonds to see to it that any call it issues under such circumstances is to a task that actually exists and is as high a task as these young lives can find. All of which means that there is a (|ue.stion of the deepest ethical gra\it\ iiu'olved in the j)icture of the missionary task that is shown in such a gatheriug as has just been held at Indianapolis. h'or the foreign missionary task is a changing task, flow could it he otherwise, when the environment amidst which it is carried on is changing so rapidly? It is true that in some fields, as in Africa, the interior parts of South America, and much of Arabic Asia, change is coming slowly, and the task thereft)re remains much as it was in the days of the first i)ir)neers. T)Ut the ca.se is consjjicuously different in Japan, in China, in .Malaysia, in India, in Mexico. In many of the major fields for overseas effort, the cultural scene has changed more |.)rofoundly in the last ten years than in ten cen¬ turies ])reyious. ( )ther factors are invoK'cd, hut this alone would make necessary a change in the enterprise that seeks to work under these changed conditions. .•\s our corresj)ondent suggested, this change was, in some measure, personified at lndiana])oli.s. Sherwood i'.ddy did not hesitate to tell the students that the sur- \iying heroes of the older generation are being forced to the sidelines, and that a new team is necessary to carry the hall now that the signal is ‘1-0-2-4.’ It would he a mistake, however, to think that the change affects only men who have been administrative leaders, h'or there were on the ])latform at Indianajrolis, and s|)eaking before other audiences there, men and women directly from the fields overseas who had not caught the significance of the fact that when the leaders wanted a statement of conditions in those fields that would carry conviction, they went to nationals to get it. Hut there were some missionaries who had. d'he Student X’ohmteer Movement, is not the only part ol the foreign missionary enterjudse that is in for a period of readjustment. In truth, the Stuilent Volun¬ teer Movement, just because its constituency is .so over¬ whelmingly free from the control of the ])ast, is likely to work its way out of the present per])lexity Ijefore other missionary agencies. 'I'he missionary him¬ self, in hundreds ot cases, will have more difficulty than any society in making u]) his mind as to wdiat his job actually is under changed world conditions. Is it to i)reach? If by iireaching is meant the fdd evangelistic concejition, it is enough to say that, on many fields, most of this u'ork is already left to the local ministry. True, there are still missionaries wdio, in the course of their itinerary, preach. Itut the oral delivery of a message is generally regarded as of less importance than the careful sui)ervi.sion of other mes¬ sengers. A lung time ago missionaries began to admit, with a sigh, that freiiuently their words failed to ])ro- duce as much in the way of results as the words of their national associates. Is the missionary’s task to teach? Tt is nndeniahle that there must he more missionary teaching than ])reaching in these days. In many institutions, notably in theological schools and in universities, it still seems to he felt that the faculty must contain a prei>onderance of w’csterners. ^Tt even the day of the missionary as teacher is shortening. Last year, the Tmcknow Christian f'ollege, one of the schools of highest rank under Chris¬ tian control in India, chose a national as its president. A Chinese was, at the same time, made the dean of the theological school of Peking University. Similar con¬ ditions have obtained in Japan for some time. And there are places where public sentiment seems to favor schools largely staffed or entirely by nationals, despite claims for superiority on instruction in the schools with western missionaries up.on the faculty. Is the missionary to he a healer? Here the change is slighter than elsewdiere. The place for the mission- arv-doctor is still clear, and can still he defined in terms that difl'er little from those that would have been em- jdoyed twenty years ago. And the growing number of fullv-trained nationals is reaching the point wdiere the situation, especially in centres of population, will re¬ quire readjustments. Still, because there will probably never he a ]ilace in all the w'orld where there is no use for another healer, the task of the missionary-doctor remains com])aratively clear. Hut if the missionary is forced to admit that he is not wdiat he thought himself a generation ago land what he is stiil generally thought to he h_\' most westerners) it is time that he found out wdiat he is, or, at the least, what he mav become. It is the efiOrt at re-orientation that wall most jierplex missionaries and mission organi¬ zations during the ne.xt decade. ^Tt it is ])Ossihle to suggest, in at lea.st four major relationshi])s, the tasks that mav make the missionary call infinitely alluring. In his relation wdth the church in these various fields, the missionarv is now to he an ad\dsor. dhis has been said before. It needs to he said again, wdth insistence upon the use of the word “ad\ isor" in its original and ohximis meaning', as (nir fiiiulanicntalist friends would imt it. I?y adx'isor we do imt mean a disguised boss. ]>ut we do mean one wIki can |)erform one of the most exacting tasks there is, which loses nothing in value because it is not done beneath a sijotlight. In his relations with the church in the west, the missionary is now tn he an interpreter. fJe has been an interpreter of the west; he is to be an interpreter to the west, d'o he sure, there will be something to he desired on his interpretation, something that no alien observer of a civilization can rpiite command. But this will he made up by the missionary's understanding of the civilization to which he is interpreting. And it is a role which, while exacting, has more digntiy in it than the task the missionary ha.-, sometimes known of acting as a section boss or almoner on orders transmitted from an ofhee half a world away. In his relatif)ns with the peace-seeking, forward- looking flernocrats of the world, the missionary is to he an agent of international righteousness anrl good will at tlie points of greatest friction. No missionary body, as far as we know, has as yet had the courage to face this. A few missionaries here and there, such as Mr. C. F. Andrews in India, have heguti to face it from a personal stand])f)int. I’ut it was by no mischance that the main attention of the delegates at liiflianapolis fell upon war and race relations. I lad they added economic exploitation to their discussions they would have been dealing with three sources of world-wide sorrow that the missionary of the new day must light to the death. In his relations with the unrcachcd millions, the missionary is now to he, as he always has been, a pioneer. But he will have a constantly increasing recog¬ nition of the fact that the work of carrying the good news into some parts of the map that we still paint black can he done more effectively by non-Nordics, and that, for the sake of their own health, the rising churches overseas should have their chance at some of the pion¬ eering that remains to l)e done. After all, for every pioneer in the geographical sense, it is likely that the mission field will need two or three or four who will pioneer in another sense. This is not the picture of the same jtih that has always been in mind when the call to missionary service has been given. It is not a picture that will attract some good folk, especially at fir.st sight. But as it is studied, and the imjdications of its main outlines are perceived, it will he seen to he the picture of aliout as needful a piece of work as this world contains. Dne immediate result of the changing status of missionary work is the (|uestiou as to the number of missionaries needed. For all that we can see, there might easily he a reduction in the size of the Christian Fxpeditionary Force, provided there was an increase in its ([uality. How many a hoard secretary ha^ sent can¬ didates out whom he knew to he (h' doubtful ca])acitv, hut because an extensive |K'rsonnel list called fur instant actidii. For it is the kind of a job that should command the best we have to ofler. .\nd anything less than that best will never he able to carry it through.
