China Awakening.—Dr. Griffith John, for fifty years a missionary in China, writing to the Missionary Herald, says: "China is not only awakening, she is awake. The China that I found fast asleep on my arrival at Shanghai fifty years ago is now all alive, and going to school again, and doing so willingly, gladly, eagerly. What an opportunity is opened up before the church in this land!" He further alleges that, so far as China herself is concerned, there is no reason why the whole country should not be awake in a comparatively short time. To this he adds: "Everything depends on the church. A dead church may prevent it; nothing else can."
