It was extremely fortunate that, while the subjectwas still under consideration, a deputation of the ReformedChurch Board, consisting of Dr. and Mrs. W. I. Chamberlainand Dr. and Mrs. W. B. Hill, visited China. It was thuspossible to explain the situation more fully than could havebeen done by letter. The Board has most generouslyallocated Rev. A. L. Warnshuis to this work and there iscause for profound thankfulness that Mr. Warnshuis comesso cordially supported by his own Board. His salary willhereafter continue to be paid by the Board of the ReformedChurch.
