Talk by John Foster , D.D.
Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Glasgow University
'Some years after the walls of Ch'uanchou had been pulled down during the war with Japan, a Chinese schoolmaster collected some carved stones from the remaining rubble. He took photographs of the best pieces, and it is about these photographs that Professor Foster speculates in this talk. They include Buddhist and Moslem remains, as well as nineteen stones that can be labelled Christian. They are stones from the China of Marco Polo.
