PublicationsThe first issue of the China Church YearThe China/)W.appeare( 1J in the au tumn of 1!)14. ThisCnufch .,Year Book was immediately recognized as a long step inadvance for the large and varied forces inChina, whose work hitherto had never been described in theChinese language with such authoritative detail, and all inone volume. The second issue appeared in November, 1915.The Chinese Secretary, Rev. C. V. Cheng, served as editor.The book is one of which the Committee may well feelproud. It is greatly improved in appearance, larger insize than last year s book, and sells for the very low price offorty cents, bound in paper, and fifty rents, bound in cloth-The lirst edition of two thousand copies was soon exhausted,and a further thousand copies have been printed and arenow for sale by the Commercial Press.This book should have a far larger sale than it has sofar had. No other single volume in Chinese sheds so muchlight on the vigour, variety and momentum of Christianwork in China. As an. encouragement to Chinese workers,and as an apologetic for intelligent enquirers its value isunique. While the largest use of the book will naturally beamong the Chinese, it is safe to say that the foreign missionary will find in this volume more than in any otherplace, the light he seeks on modern Chinese ChristianA 47
