THE ORGANIZATION'S HEADQUARTERS IN TOKYO: THE SALVATIONIST'S COUNTRY IS 



THE WORED 

 "We recognize our brother in all the families of the earth." 



since Saint Francis Xavier, in his dying 

 hour, exclaimed in an agony of despair 

 over his supreme discouragement in try- 

 ing to evangelize China, "Oh, rock, rock, 

 when wilt thou open ?" 



Years have passed since Napoleon, with 

 far different motives, looked on the an- 

 cient century-defying nation and said, 

 "The giant is asleep. Do not awake 

 him." 



But now the rock has opened, the giant 

 is awake. 



For years these people lay heavily on 

 my father's heart. Their needs were con- 

 tinually discussed ; they were the founda- 

 tion of some of his most burning public 

 utterances. He saw them in his dreams 

 by night and thought and planned for 

 them by day. Somehow I feel he still 

 waits and watches for their salvation 

 from the battlements of glory. 



Our present General's deep and pas- 

 sionate interest in China is well known. 



All during the war the Army's blood-and- 

 fire flag was raised beside that of the new 

 Chinese Republic, while the work was 

 steadily carried on by heroic men and 

 women who labored as pioneers. 



A new corps was recently opened in 

 Peking. The hall is situated in the north- 

 eastern part of the South City, in the 

 busiest commercial district. The build- 

 ing was formerly used as an old food 

 shop. It has been remodeled until it can 

 now care for about 250 people. 



A VENTURE OE EAITH 



Beyond the great wall, to the north of 

 Tatungfu, lies Fengchen. Back in this 

 robber-infested district the Army made 

 its first venture of faith into the interior 

 of China. No part of the earth is too 

 far removed for the truth to reach it. 

 and the Salvationists, unarmed and unes- 

 corted, trailed their way into the moun- 

 tains to preach to brigands and robbers.
