'What Chinese Christians are doing for China', by the Rev. RONALD REES , one of the Secretaries of the National
Christian- Council of China
FOR THE PAST four years the British member of the secretariat of the National Christian Council of China has been the Rev. Ronald Rees , formerly a Methodist missionary and Professor of History at Lingnan University, Canton. The Council, upon which one British, one American, and several Chinese secretaries work on terms of absolute equality, is a co-ordinating body through which Christians of China, by acting together, are able to do a great deal of work which they could not do so well separately.
Particularly under the leadership of its General Secretary, Dr. Cheng-Ching-Yi (who also broadcast in this series some years ago), the Council is engaged upon an evangelistic campaign throughout China. It has been active in Christian educational work for adults and children, and is engaged in many social causes, the chief of which perhaps has been the anti-opium campaign'
Mr. Rees was formerly London
Secretary of the Student Christian Movement.
