BISHOP ROOTS WILL SPEAK AT P.B.H. FRIDAY

To Talk on "Problems China Is Facing Today"--Played Prominent Part in Forming Chinese National Church--To Return to Hankow Shortly

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Right Reverend Logan Herbert Roots '91, D. D., Bishop of Hankow, who recently delivered a series of lectures at the Episcopal Theological School on the Chinese situation, will speak informally in the parlor of Phillips Brooks House at 7.30 Friday evening. The talk, which is open to all members of the University, will be on "Problems China is Facing Today".

Bishop Roots, who has spent 28 years as a missionary in China, is one of the most influential men in the Near East. It was due largely to his work as Chairman of the China Construction Committee that the Christian bodies of China were invited into one homogeneous national Church.

At the present time Bishop Roots has been given a three year leave of absence from his discuss at Hankow in order that he may devote all his time to the work of Church unity. He has been in this country to attend the triennial General Convention of the Episcopal Church in Portland, Ore., but is about to return to China. This will be his last public talk in Cambridge.
