Congregations •
Mr. and Mrs. G. P. Ina Rue, China
' Inland Missionaries, gave a very
graphic description of their work to
the, congregation lof the Baptist
church on Sunday, At the morning
service, Mr. La Rue told of the work
•carried on by the China Inland Mis-
sion. At the evening service Mr. La
Rue gave a more detailed tails, on
their work among the hill tribes of
Western China. These people in the
Inland of China are very primitive
.and the work of the Missionaries ,is
a difficult task. When one of them,
who is more brilliant than the Others
is adopted for future education the
'People pool their resources to further
his education. It is the hope of the
missionaries that he will return to
"hers; in the missionary work, but often
the„ government takes this student in
their Work.
The address by Mr, and Mrs. La
Rue were much appreciated and it was
-inspirational for the congregation to
'hear the story of the Mission work in
'China from those who have been act-
ive in this field, and will return to
'China after their furlough is oven

ceived hasty applause from the and,
The Minuet by eight little girls

Part of the program, Mr. LaRue pre-
sented a splendid collection of "his
own sslides, which depicted the inars
velous • impression thatchrstianity
was making an these people. One
slide presented three robbers' of an-
other tribe, one member' of which xi,
LaRue had extracted bullets from his
shoulder, and who did' not offer his
thanks for being -healed, although they
were not molested. In contrast with
their work, he presented a .immber of
slides, whScit showed the terrible state
in which people were living who knew
nothing of the word of God. Thiss
said Mr. LaRue, is why we go to
China, as he had often been asked tide
question.
