It was organized inorder to provide a service in the English language at whichChinese returned students and others would be welcome. Itsservices are held in the Martyrs Memorial Hall late onSunday afternoon at an hour when there are no other churchservices. It maintains an attendance of from one hundredto one hundred arid fifty. The meetings are conducted in adignified manner but they are lively, full of hope and sunshine and made more enjoyable by the Sunday ServiceLeague choir which appears on the programme frequently.The best available speakers are used and often distinguishedvisitors from England and America are given this uniqueopportunity of addressing the Chinese in English and without having to share their time with an "interrupter." Thetopics chosen are those which interest the returned studentas he considers the religious needs of his country. Manyhave been strengthened by the message received at theseservices. The leaders of the League are Chinese young menand women who are themselves actively engaged in the workof some local church. Every precaution has been taken toprevent the .organization from becoming a church. This isclearly stated in the constitution of the society and frequentlyre-iterated by those in charge. Frequent appeals have beenmade by speakers for workers in various church enterprisesand these have never been unheeded. The Sunday ServiceLeague has justified its existence and may be a suggestivemethod of reaching this important class in cities where thereis a large number of English-speaking Chinese.
