The audience, therefore, felt a singular nearness to the speaker of Sunday af ternoon Prior to the address of Mr. Wen an invocation was made by Rev. Dr. W. W. Orr, pastor of East Avenue Taber nacle, a musical program, aided by an orchestra, was rendered with congrega tional singing, followed by a solo by Mrs. J. N. Sloan. PEOPLE NOT DIVIDED v In his. address, Mr. Wen emphasized that the prevalent belief in this coun try that China is widely ravaged by civil war and that the people of the Aorth are arrayed against the people of the South in irreconcilable conflict is erroneous. The people of China are one and their present intersectiona! ciis sention is a conflict of two schools of thought rather than civil.

United States and China, than by all other nations combined. He dwelt at length about the great progress China has made toward modern civilization "in the past few years and says it is only the beginning. Mr. Wen" followed his manuscript en tirely in his main address, but laid it aside to answer a number of questions afterward, having invited the audience to make any inquiries it wished. His main address follows: "I come before you today with a pro found feeling of appreciation of your courtesy in extending to me an invita tion to address you on a subject which is occupying the minds of the foremost statesmen of the world. x Although a stranger in your land, yet in my heart as a citizen of a sister republic and-a secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in which you are so keenly interested, I feel I am speaking to my brothers and sisters in our own family which has a com mon creed and the same spirit of achievement. I know I voice the sen-' timents of the 400,000,000 of my coun trymen, when I say that the two great republics, one on the east and the otner on the west of the Pacific ocean, are destined to play the most important role in the affairs of the world and will always be united in a common determi nation for the maintenance of pcaoe on the earth and good-will towards man kind. "On this occasion, you will allow me to turn mv thoughts from world com plications to the inner World of China with the hope that you may secure some palpable facts about the lation, about wMch you have heard so much from press and the tourists. China is changing. The old China is ths Chinn of yesterday. The new and . regres sive China is" the China of torn wrtiw. Through our contact with ' wester n in stitutions, so admirably represented by such institutions of high ideals like yours, new ideas, new foreees and nrw influences have been brought in for the regeneration of our national lice. "With your indulgence, I shall at tempt to deal with three phases of her national life ii a brief way. They -re her political progress, educational de velopment and economic ImpreveiVient. Political progress. "Bitter political experiences brought the country to the realization that a ,great ehinge is essential to China if a fatal disaster was to.be averted. So in 1911. a revolution was started and the political machinery underwent a trans formation. Without extensive bloodshed a Democratic form of government was set up. It is a great turning point in the history of the nation. By a heroic sacrifice. China was reborn and began a new life. "When we speak of the republic of China, few ever realize that wo are speaking of a nation 30 times larger than Japan and with a territory oqual to that of the United States. Although its people is homogeneous in customs and traditions, the mighty power of western civilization in recasting her an cient institutions naturally causes radi-1 cal innovations nad sometimes appar ent conflict. Such an apparent conflict is-the dispute now carried on between certain political cliques, which brand themselves, for want of a belter desig nation, th nor th and the south. Some western friends today picture our coun try as two halves, each struggling for supremacy against the other. This is a wrong conception. China as a nation is not divided in the. same sense as oth er political states are divided. Her peo ple is one and the same. There is not the slightest feeling of antagonism be tween the people of south and that of the north. "The internal dissension is caused by a conflict of two schools of thought whose object for a democratic country is identical but whose methods cf ac quiring their object vary. The. north respecting public Opinion aims at a fctrong central government while the south, a strong state government. This is a stage which a nation in its period of transformation should pass. May I refer you to your own history? Con ditions in China today are not unsimilar to those of your early days. "China as a republic has had but 10 years during the period of transforma tion and growth, we need sympathetic support of all nations arid I am sure the nations will be helping themselves by helping China, because we are cer tain that only a. strong1 China can save the world from the catastrophe of an other war. So long as China remah.s weak through foreign intrigues and foreign aggressions there cannot be per manent peace on tne facinc and hence the world.

The old style literary ex aminations have been abandoned and schools "are springing' up like mush rooms. About two score of high edu cational institutions are preparing stu dents for European and American uni versities. Government as well as pri vate and religious schools are caring for the educational needs of the great pop ulace. -.. One of the most remarkable movements of recent years is the great stress placed on education. Everywhere we see signs of progress among the ed ucational activities of the country. ECONOMICAL IMPROVEMENT. "China is making rapid strides ecO' nomically: The same phenomenon of change that exists in the political and educational fields is observed. She is abandoning her old method of produc tion and distribution for fear that in ternational competition will elimnate her as a world power n the realm of commerce. Steam engines and electric power have been introduced and Widely used. . Cotton and flour mills, silk fila tures, sugar refining factories, iron fac tories and other industrial plants have been erected. Extensive plans are be ing made for the development of min ing, agricultural, torestry and reclama tion enterprises. Labor unions are be ing formed! for equal distribution of wealth. "While anxious to develop her na tural resource's herself, China is quite willing that by honorable means, other powers and capitalists Avill join, her in her undertakings. Propagandists in Washington have been picturing China as a bankrupt. China is not bankrupt. Her government lacks the confidence of the people but her people is solvent. I refer to the fact that $00,000,000 loans to the government has been contracted from Chinese banking group in Peking. You may say the default, of Chicago Trust bank loan as- an instance of Chi na poverty. No. China doesn't want this loan which has been pledged by the new tax of wine and tobacco. It is against the wish Of the people who try every posible mesns to embarass the government and the bankers. EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS. Education is increasing, wisdom, re ligion is promoting the joy of life. West ern cducaton is to change the evil life, its moral, educational and physical de velopments. In this connection I wish to thank on behalf of our people the valuable servica rendered by Y. M. C A., whose insignia of triangle symbol izes the three lines of work which Chi na today needs and welcomes. Your as sociation has taken the lead and shown us how the education should be diffused among the people and I. am certain I am voicing .the sentiments of fellow countrymen when I say that the Y. M. C. A. has won for itself a warm place in every heart in China and the names of such eminent men of public service as Dr. Mott, Dr. Eddy and Mr. Brock man wil lgo down in Chinese history as among the foremost who have served China and the Chinese people with sin cerity and love. They have inspired us. They have shown us the spirit of sacri fice which only men of their calibre can show us. To them we are profound' grateful. I must not omit, of course, the important part that the Hangchow Y. M. C. A. is taking in the develop ment of our intellectual, physical and rural life. Today we have one of the most efficient organizations of its type in the world located in Hangchow the most picturesque city in China, under the able direction of Mr. Barnett Whom gome of you in the audience know. We thank God for giving us the valuable services of Barnett. "You will be interested to know that through the entire sympathy of your government and people, justice 'and righteousness are expected to come ir. sight for the Chinese problems which our delegates have brought up for the consideration and discussion in the Pa cific conference. "In conclusion, allow me to thank you for the courtesy that you have shown to me. I take it not as a per sonal, however, but I take it as an honor which you wish to do my coun try. ' If there are any questions any of you friends want to ask, I shall be glad to answer. I thank you." The annual nation-wide campaig in the evory-member canvass of the three larger Episcopal church in Charlotte reported a subscription of around $50, 000 Sunday afternoon. Taken as a whole the quotas of the various churches were reached. St. Peter's church raised $26,000, which was several hundred dollars over its quota. St. Martin's church raised $11, 000, which was not quite up to the quota. The canvass in' the Church of the Holy Comforter was not completed Monday on account of the absence of so many members, who are out of town. Several hundred dollars are expect ed to be added to the funds already raised, which includes the annual bud get of church expenses and the an nual contributions to. missionary work of various kinds. The canvass at the St. Andrews chapel in Severs411e will he conducted next Sunday and at.' the Chapel of Hope, in North Charlotte. The Work is the North Carolina dio cese 'is in charge of Rev. E. A. Pen lck. Jr.. rector of St. Peter's church. There are about 100 churches in the diocese. Ralph Van Landingham directed the work of the canvass at St. Peter's church. He. reported Sunday night that the subscriptions of that church amounted to $26,249.80, or more than SC00 over the budget of $25,974. of which $12,07S.94 was for the current expenses of the church and $13,895.66 for missionary purposes. Canvassers cf St. Martin's church, under the leadership of Tom P. Banks, with Edward Fox in charge of the Sunday . school fund, reported a total of $10,S13.88; Subscriptions of $G,620.S8' were made by 170 members to the cur rent expense lund, which included $1, 000 for building and loan funds for the rectory, and $3,641.02 for mission ary work, subscribed by 163 members. Sunday school committees secured subscriptions amounting to $294 for current expenses, subscribed by 104 people, and $258 for the missionarv fund, both having been larger than the auota. The entire quota of the church is about $300 short, but this is expected to be later made up from subscriptions of people not seen Sunday.
