Little Maids in the "Moon Door" Symbol of the Hope of New China ;b !9 ý " s'+ ., +" 1, 4 .. , . :: . Girling College, at Nanking, Is Girls' School in Five Provinces Wih Popula. tion of 111,000,000-Interchurch World Movement to Aid Institution, The way to all things at Ginling lies through the moon door. And through the moon door on the way to wisdom pass and repass, every day, the 70 Chinese maidens of the "gung-gwan." The moon door at Ginling is round as the full moon, whence it has its name. And the Chinese maiden, as she steps over its high sill, may spread wide her arms and still not touch its rim with the tips of her fingers. Sometimes across the court yard is another moon door, and beyond it, like a smaller concentric circle, still an other, leading on through that Chinese puzzle of a house, the "gung-gwan" or official residence at Nanking, China, which is now the home of Ginling Col lege for Chinese girls-one of the three women's colleges in all China. The moon door is but a single fea ture of the old place. Once inside the high stonle walls that enclose it one is lost in a maze of courts and galleries and covered passages and isolated rooms. The whole is China, old China and new. The moon doors and the archi tecture as a whole lend the dignity and the greatness of old China. But the laboratories and dormitories, libra ries and studies made from the old rooms of state and ceremony are mod ern; Just as the force of America is behind it all, represented by the fire American missionary organizations and the American Smith College which maintain Ginling, is modern. One pushes ajar the halves of a moon door, latticed over paper in plum blossom and honeycomb design, and enters a chemical laboratory set up in a room with 20 windows, each framed in dragon tracery. And from the flagstones of the laboratory floor, often is scraped fungi and mould for use under the microscope. These are typical contrasts of Gin. ling College, revealed through the survey of the Chinese field now being made by the Interchurch World Movement, which seeks to promote the closer co-operation of Protestant Churches of America in attaining their world aims. Ginling College, the survey shows, is at the heart of five Chinese prowv inces, with a total population of 110,; 000,000-and is the only woman's col* lege in that great area. Ginling owns 37 acres of land on the hills beside the Yangtze river. In the Interchurch World Movement sur vey of China, there is a budget item of $500,000. It is there to show the I churches of America how they can . place upon that land on the hill the i library, administration building, reci tation buildings, chapel-all that are s needed for a modern college.

Historically it is the logical out growth cf a tendency of the national: boards in each denomination to form working alliances among themselves, in which each board shall preserve its' identity and control its own personnel' and treasury. In former times, the home mission society, the foreign mission society, the church extension society and the various philanthropic and eleemosy nary agencies of any denomination conducted their affairs independently of one another. Each surveyed its own restricted territory, prepared a budget of money and workers for its own purposes and made its own ap peal to its constituency for support. This could only mean that these agencies were more or less in com. petition with one another: tFht there were waste and d"nlic.tion cf work and money, and that among them all some work was neglected and some denominational resources were entire. ly overlooked. Because of their spe. cialized training, the leaders of each agency regarded themselves as pecu. liarly fitted for their tasks, and jeal. ously regarded attempts at outside interference. Decide On Experiment After decades of such haphazard methods, the leaders of one denomina tion decided on an experiment. They thought it would be possible for the agencies to get together for a corn mon study of all the opportunities and resources of their brotherhood, to make out a unified budget of men and money, and to conduct a concerted ap peal for funds. It was made clear that each constituent board should preserve complete autonomy. When the board representatives met , they found it Possible to eliminate a * great amount of organization ex. n penses. They ultimately worked out e a budget and plan of campaign that t" was satisfactory to all. This resulted e in the famous "Men and Millions Movement" of the Disciples of Christ, which brought in what was then con. sidered the staggering sum of $8, 300,000 for a five-year program. The members of the communion were so of conducting affairs that they con tributed even more generously than had been expected. The success of this enterprise revo lutionized the whole business of church financiering. The other great denominations immediately adopted the plan. The denominational associa tions have come to be known as "for. ward movements," and some thirty of them are in existence today. Each one has clarified all the information in re lation to enterprise within the denomi nation, and has reduced the business of collecting and spending money to a science. World-Budget Feormned The Interchurch World Movement Is simply a plan to do interdenomination. ally what the forward movements have done within the various com munions. It means that every denomi national budget will be made in the light of world needs instead of in the semi-obscurity of incomplete informs. tion. It means that contributions to one denomination will not be in waste ful competition with contributions to another, because all the fellowships will have worked out their program together. The functions of the Interchurch World Movement are threefold. First, it collects, by means of world surveys, all the pertinent facts on which de nominational programs may be built. Second, it sets ui' the practical ma. chinery of co-operation. Third, it acts in an advisory capacity whenever its advice is requested. The Movement .has nothing to do with organic church union or matters of creed or doctrine. Each constituent unit preserves complete autonomy, and is bound only so far as it wishes to be bound. Financial appeals are made by each denomination to its own con stituency. Any surplus in undesignat. ed funds, over and above the actual cost of administration, will be prorat. ed among the denominations engaged in a given financial undertaking An illustration of one thing the Movement can do is to be found in a western community of 1,600 persons in which thirteen denominations have been supporting separate churches with missionary funds, while an adja cent territory of 50,000 persons has only three churches. By seeing that all issionary boards are supplied with ifornatio in such cases, the More. t will make possible a wiser dis. ibtion of fuans. fIts rst goals are to reduce unneces. ar, duplication and overlapping to Linfimum and to bring about an in t ~a nt divi*so of labor . ., adsdse THE UNIVERSAL CAI Here is the Ford Runabout, a perfect whirl wind of utility.
