2977. General Basis of Church and Mission Cooperation.Since the Synod of the Church has now approved the draft

of an agreement called “A General Basis of Cooperation be­tween the Kwangtung Synod of the Church of Christ and the South China Mission of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A.”, it was voted formally to approve this agreement as hereinafter printed and submit it to the China Council and the Board for consideration.

(It is to the noted that the Chinese text is to be treated as the official text.)

“Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to the whole creation”, is the command of Jesus to His disciples. Zealous believers have obeyed this command, going into all parts of the world preaching the word and establishing the Church. Morrison and man}- others came to China from the West, preaching Christ and founding the Church in this country. By the grace of God the enthusiasm, the prayer, the service, and the sacrifice of brethren of the older Church of the West, have had a very large part in the making of the Chinese Church what it is today.

The purpose of establishing missions and of sending of missionaries was the preaching of the Word, until Christ’s

24

spirit o i sacrifice and service should inspire the men of new churches, until these churches should become self-propagat­ing, self-governing and self-supporting, until they in the abundance of their strength should preach the Gospel to the regions beyond, until all men should know the saving grace of God and earth should become like heaven ! In order to carry out the command of Christ and hasten the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kwangtung Synod of the Church of Christ in China and the South China Mission of the Presbyterian Church of the U. S. A. agree to work together on the basis outlined in these articles.

1. The Autonom y of the Church.

In accordance with the principle of the voluntary fellow ship of believers and in thè spirit of self-propagation, self-governm ent and self-support, Christians of the province of K wangtung have united in a Church for mutual exhortation and for seriously m eeting the common responsibility of preaching the Gospel of Christ, of realizing the life o f Christ and of extending the kingdom of Christ. The Synod thus established is by its. very nature autonomous and free. In this the K wangtung Synod (hereinafter called the Church) and the South China M ission of the Presbyterian Church of the U . S. A. (hereinafter called the M ission) are agreed.

2. The Transfer o f W ork.

The chief objective of the M ission is the establishm ent and de­velopment in K wangtung of a responsible Church. It is the desire of the M ission that all its work should contribute to the furtherance of this object. The time having now come for the Church to bear responsibility, the M ission desires to transfer all forms of work to the Church. After conference and mutual agreem ent, all work which is form ally transferred, shall become permanently a part of the Church’s work and responsibility. The Church shall thereafter be entirely free at all tim es to exercise its authority over this work and it shall take responsibility for all plans for its future.

3. The Relation o f SchoQls and H ospitals to the Church.

The Church and the M ission are convinced that the institutions of the M ission, such as schools and hospitals, should have a close and definite relation to the Church in order to insure their Christian character and permanence. In the transfer of an institution its special character and its present relation to the M ission shall be

25

taken into consideration and conference had with those m ost in­terested. The Church shall be responsible for the organization of the Boards of Control of institutions transferred. The Church shall act for the institution in requests to the M ission for aid in per­sonnel, finance or property. In regard to union institutions the Church may take action in conference with other Churches con­cerned.

4. A id in Personnel.

In building up the Church when the work is but begun and the boundless future lies ahead truly “the harvest ils plenteous and the laborers are few ”. T o maintain the present work and to undertake the responsibility of future development, the younger Church asks for m issionary workers from the older Church. The older Church has a responsibility for supplying such workers to aid in the develop­ment of the younger Church.

1. A ll m issionaries entering the service of the Church do soat the invitation of the Church.

2. M issionaries may become members and officers of the Chinese Church.

3. A llocation of m issionaries to the work of the Church shall be made by the M ission in accordance with the Special A llocation of W orkers’ Agreement.

4. Assignm ents of work and field of service to allocated m is­sionaries shall be made by the Church after consultation with the M ission and the individual m issionaries concerned.

5. A new m issionary coming to China for service in the Church shall be recognized as a Junior (K ei M ing) M issionary during hisfirst term of service. On the expiration of this term and on hisreturn to China being determined upon in conference with, all concerned, he shall be given a permanent opportunity for service in the Church. A m issionary on this permanent basis shall retain his status in the Church during furlough.

5. Financial Aid.

The Younger Church although it put forth its utmost effort has but lim ited rrjeans in carrying unlim ited responsibility for extend­ing the Christian Church. It is right therefore that the younger Church should ask and the older Church grant continued aid in the Heaven-appointed task of extending the one Christian Church.

1. In all financial grants it is essential to keep in mind the encouragement of the Church’s self-reliance and sense of respon­sibility, so that the aid given m ay inspire the Church and. in­dividual believers to ever greater service and sacrifice.

26

2. In m aking requests for aid the Church shall present estim ates and plans based on the needs, opportunity and progress of the work in the various centers. The Church shall annually make a report to the M ission.

3. The terms of aid shall be m utually agreed upon and on the basis of these terms the Church shall be entirely free to ad­m inister the funds so granted.

6. The Use o f Mission Property.

1. Property connected with any work transferred and necessary to it w ill still be available for th is work. But each request for the use of such property shall be determined upon its own merits and be subject to special agreement.

2. The fo llow ing conditions shall obtain with reference to M is­sion property in the usé of the Church:

(a) The transfer of the use and control of property shall be effected according to regular legal processes.

(b) Such properties shall be used for distinctly Christian purposes.

(c) There shall be an adequate staff for the work to be carried on in these properties.

(d) Those who have the use of the property shall be responsible for keeping it in good repair.

3. The transfer of ownership of property shall be effected only upon mutual agreement of Board and Church that such transfer is for the highest and best interest of the Christian work in China, and also that such action is taken under a sense of the guidance of God.

2978. Agreement Regarding the Transfer of Evangelistic Work to the Church.

Since the Synod of the Church has now approved of the draft of a document called “An Agreement between the Kwangtung Synod of the Church of Christ in China and the South China Mission of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A. Regarding the Transfer of Evangelistic W ork” it was voted formally to approve the agreement as hereinafter printed and submit it to the China Council and the Board for consideration.
