Moffat, sister of Miss Laura Hambly. (Part of an Editorial in The West China Missionary News.) : The coming of Generalissimo and > Madame Chiang Kai Shek to Chengtu, long expected and keenly desired by the people of this province, has brought hope and confidence to mil- jons of people. That this foremost leader in China is welcome to this 'suffering province is manifest on every hand. A student of the West China Union University in conversa- _ tion with the editor said; When Gen: eral Chiang comes to Chengtu, he comes to the hearts of the people (bth shin)" This puts the whole matter in a nut.shell; for it is not merely as a great military leader the general comts but as one in whom the com- mon people believe and whom they trust. For long years the people have looked for one in whom dwelleth righteousness, who is ready to devote himself and his varied gifts to the welfare of his country. One in whom the primal virtues express themselves. "Indeed, they look for an incarnation of eternal principles. They feel that they have found such an one in Gen- eral Chiang. At last the situation has produced the leader; and with un- erring instinct the people of Szech- wan have responded. Even though there may be -days of bitterness awaiting them the people look for the coming of a new day. It may seem paradoxical to say that Generalissimo comes primarily in the interests of peace. On the surface, events tend to contradict this; but if we have been able to delve below: that. surface we: are convinced that " down beneath ~ the - general of armies there lives a personality whose first desire is the peace of his country. As we listen to' General Chiang in his informal address - to the group of Christians whom he invited to meet him and Madame Chiang at his tem- porary quarters-in- Chengtu, we dis- covered a note that sounded out above the hum of aeroplanes and the rattle of musketry. That note was pitched on a high level. It took its tone from the Christian religion. The speaker called us to the contemplation of things that abide. The General en-|- forced the need of unity and union. Not only in matters of religion but in all the main features of the life of the country. General Chiang has a straightforward mind that, like a homing pigeon, makes for the central point. Amid many things that might well distract one, the generallissimo heads for those matters that are primary and which most help in a time of bewilderment and alarm. And in all he said he was ably seconded by Madame Chiang. Madame Chiang Kai-Chek's Speech to the\Missionary Community at Chengtu. ® (From. The West China Missionary News.) Chengtu, Tuesday, June 11, 1936 "Phe Generallissimo and I want to take this opportunity to do two things.

Some time or other Chinese officials may have asked a similar thing--or things that they didn't mean at all--and if you be- lieved them and replied they would probably be greatly surprised and insulted. We wanted to know because we wanted to try and put right you are convinced that we want to right the wrongs because you have Generalissimo, and«you know of the one which he made some ten days ago. He wants reform in the country. He knows that there is corruption, and immorality, and other, things wrong with the province. Selfishness is at the basis of it all, and he wants to seo the results of that corrected. "After we went to Kianksi in con- nection with the suppression of the Communists: we had groups of mis- sionaries meet and we told them the result of the Generalissimo's findings during the Communist campaign. He said that we have to revive the spirit of the people if we are to build up national character; to build up na- tional character the first thing to do is to build up personal character. acter. ; "It may be of interest to know that in Yunnan, when the Generalissimo spoke to a group of students, he de- fined character. I cannot recall the exact words, but the meaning was not only respect yourself but develop the ability to control yourself so that other people will respect you; and al- infringe: upon the rights of others. It is two-fold: It is:mot a .onefold, personal affair==it is also dependent as. control of yourself. pened there; how the New Life Move- ment is in effect. The people are not allowed to be oppressed by the mili- tary. You have had in Szechwan dur- ing the last twenty years, 407 civil wars. Each one left Szechwan a little poorer than the last. You can see how selfishness is at the bottom of it all. ! "people say, 'I believe in Medica missions, or I believe in Agricultural missions, but don't believe in evan- gelism" My answer has been. 'You can't change anything unless you change man's character,' It means teaching people to love others as you love yourself. That is the heart of it all. {For this reason the New Life Movement also aims at duty towards others. That is one of the principles on which the whole movement is based~ The New Life Movement, as it sweeps the country gives a new conception of what the future" of The first step has been taken, the foundation is now laid, Now we in- sist on seeing that the standard of living of our people is raised.

We hear that Liu Wen Hwei and General Tien have had their armies taken from them and they have been put in. charge of the arsenal at Chengtu. Liu Hsiang is to be civil governor with only a few soldiers under him. This because none of these men really made a deter- mined stand against the Reds and were said 'to 'be opposed to: Chiang Kia Shek coming to' Szechoun, Gen- erals Den and Chen, also Col.
