Spiritual Horizons . POSTSCRIPT 371 PREFACE After relinquishing his high post on the League of Nations and before settling down to his Scottish estate, Lord Boyd Orr paid a visit to Canterbury. Before he left, knowing my in- terest in China, he said, "Talking lately to two young Amer- icans I remarked, 'When I was your age, Great Britain was top of the world. I have lived to see the crest travel west- wards; now you are top; but I can add with all confidence that, when you reach my age, the crest will have travelled still further westwards; China will be top of the world."' More than likely Boyd Orr is right for China, with her im- mense and rapidly increasing population and now standing/ upright on her feet after a century of subjugation, advances with giant strides, marching side by side with Russia, both ideologically and physically.

  • Christian History & Biography
    Issue 98: Christianity in China As for Me and My House The house-church movement survived persecution and created a surge of Christian growth across China. Tony Lambert On the eve of the Communist victory in 1949, there were around one million Protestants (of all denominations) in China. In 2007, even the most conservative official polls reported 40 million, and these do not take into account the millions of secret Christians in the Communist Party and the government. What accounts for this astounding growth? Many observers point to the role of Chinese house churches. The house-church movement began in the pre-1949 missionary era. New converts—especially in evangelical missions like the China Inland Mission and the Christian & Missionary Alliance—would often meet in homes. Also, the rapidly growing independent churches, such as the True Jesus Church, the Little Flock, and the Jesus Family, stressed lay ministry and evangelism. The Little Flock had no pastors, relying on every "brother" to lead ministry, and attracted many educated city people and students who were dissatisfied with the traditional foreign missions and denominations. The Jesus Family practiced communal living and attracted the rural poor. These independent churches were uniquely placed to survive, and eventually flourish, in the new, strictly-controlled environment. In the early 1950s, the Three-Self Patriotic Movement eliminated denominations and created a stifling political control over the dwindling churches. Many believers quietly began to pull out of this system.

The PAH levels were generally low over the year; however, the PAH concentrations increased according to one of two seasonal trends, which were either an increase in PAHs during the cold period, influenced by heating, or a PAH enrichment during the wet period due to higher run-off inputs. The major PAH source was the combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, but a minor input of petrogenic PAHs in some seasons was observed. Higher PAH concentrations were observed in fresh and brackish water compared to the saline waters in the Tumen River estuary, while the PAH concentrations in both types of water were similar in the Partizanskaya River estuary, suggesting different pathways of PAH input into the estuaries.

  • Superheroes at Work on Campus Presidential Race Is Heating Up
    Volume 83, Issue 15 Smithfield, RI March 10, 2016 Inside Superheroes at work on campus By Alexandra Fusari this Contributing Writer On Sunday, February 28th, the superheroes of our campus’ Love Your Melon crew surprised a little girl with a very special edition day. Five Bryant students, including myself, rang the doorbell at the Huntleys’ house. There we met Anna, an 11 year-old from North Smithfield, currently in remission from osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer. Dressed in superhero costumes, we ran Business: around Anna’s yard with her sister Kate, 8. Our mission was to make that day all about Have you seen my Anna and put a smile on her face. We did. Snapchat? Anna wanted to play kickball and run relay races, take silly pictures in the photo booth we made, and decorate soccer balls we had brought the girls. It was a day she had been hoping for, her mother told us, since Page 5 they always seemed to miss the Love Your Melon crews that had visited her hospital. We left Anna, Kate, and their mother with Love Your Melon hats and wristbands, as well as with a promise to visit her again. Visits such as these are not uncommon The Love Your Melon crew taught Anna and Kate how to pose like superheroes. Sports: for Love Your Melon crews, but they are Conor McGregor, a new to the crew here on campus. This is (Becca Varney) feather no more just the second household donation visit to children in treatment. Crew President across the country.

Academic Editor: Jack Barkenbus Received: 26 February 2015 / Accepted: 3 April 2015 / Published: 10 April 2015 Abstract: The rapid growth of transport requirements in China will incur increasing transport energy demands and associated environmental pressures. In this paper, we employ a generalized data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate the relative energy efficiency of rail, road, aviation and water transport from 1971 to 2011 by considering the energy input and passenger-kilometers (PKM) and freight ton-kilometers (TKM) outputs. The results show that the optimal energy efficiencies observed in 2011 are for rail and water transport, with the opposite observed for the energy efficiencies of aviation and road transport. In addition, we extend the DEA model to estimate future transport energy consumption in China. If each transport mode in 2020 is optimized throughout the observed period, the national transport energy consumption in 2020 will reach 497,701 kilotons coal equivalent (ktce), whereas the annual growth rate from 2011 to 2020 will be 5.7%.

Dynamics of Disintegration: The Later Han Empire (25-220CE) & Its Northwestern Frontier Abstract As a frontier region of the Qin-Han (221BCE-220CE) empire, the northwest was a new territory to the Chinese realm. Until the Later Han (25-220CE) times, some portions of the northwestern region had only been part of imperial soil for one hundred years. Its coalescence into the Chinese empire was a product of long-term expansion and conquest, which arguably defined the egionr 's military nature. Furthermore, in the harsh natural environment of the region, only tough people could survive, and unsurprisingly, the region fostered vigorous warriors. Mixed culture and multi-ethnicity featured prominently in this highly militarized frontier society, which contrasted sharply with the imperial center that promoted unified cultural values and stood in the way of a greater degree of transregional integration. As this project shows, it was the northwesterners who went through a process of political peripheralization during the Later Han times played a harbinger role of the disintegration of the empire and eventually led to the breakdown of the early imperial system in Chinese history.
