Christianity’s Value to China

DURING the Chinese revolution about sixty students in the city where the present premier was living thought it would be a good thing to organize a Red Cross Society for service at the front. The premier gave advice and help in the organization. But when it was about time to leave for the scene of action, news of heavy fighting came in; and when the new premier left for the battle field, he had only thirty men, and one of these turned back before going very far. Of the twenty-nine remaining true, he found to his utter astonishment that every one was a Christian. He wisely drew the conclusion that Christianity has certain elements of value that China cannot well do without.—Selected.
