l ., ., time, too, are the facts that Russia is one of the few nations not enjoying extraterritorial and other special rights in China, that the Bolsheviki having preached for years to Europe with little effect have faced eastward to gain new disciples, that Russian trade has long coveted ice-free ports on the Pacific, and that the bitterest enemies of Russian Communism a1'e at the same time the nations most firmly entrenched in special privilege in China. Clearly, it need not be from philanthropic motives that Russia is sending' Chinese students to Moscow in reward for revolutionary activities. But neither should it be argued that all Russian sympathy for China and Russian help, if it comes to that, are wholly selfish, nor that there are no principles of brotherhood in the Soviet system which might improve the nation. It is to be hoped, however, that Young China does not drink too deeply at the fount of Russian tutelage. Notwithstanding' the fact that the ancient sages seem sufficient teachers to the scholarly Chinese, and although the Chinese masses rely largely for special advice upon crude counsellors who seem to satisfy their materialistic minds, and even tho there is an alarming increase in the numbers discovering a new fellowship at the far end of the Trans-Siberian railway, yet the message of Jesus Christ still offers China a unique opportunity. There accompanies the instruction of the Son of God sometliing' which all the other teachers lack, something that can be felt better than portrayed, something which is unmis- takable when men of any race experience it, something that makes scholar and plebian and patriot alike acknowledge the supremacy of Christ-a spiritual dynamic that we call LIFE. as -rei , ,, i PAGE TWENTY-SIX
