The article presents information about the Chinese God. The lithograph of Christ, the Son of God, hung fraternally beside Mao Tse-tung, the son of man, and the author discoursed for more than an hour with Chao and Director F.F. Li under the reproduction obtained in common by all the Protestant churches in North dove, which shared in representing the Holy Spirit. Chao Fusan stand beneath Picasso's Peace Dove. When it is possible for a Chinese Christian, with or without mental reservations, to live in peace (or at least on good terms) with his government, then foreign missions and missionaries can hope for no grace from the Communists. It was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs--Chou En-lai himself--that held a protecting hand over them, for the simple reason that such good friends as the Indian and Indonesian ambassadors did not wish to be without the Catholic school--the only one in China in which their children would not be stuffed with Communist propaganda.
