By Riots
KOWLOON. Hong Kong (CNJS)
— Kowloon has again been dis-
turbed by riots,
There were several complete
De- nights when certain areas of
Kowloon were under curfew.
The first night of the curfews
was on Thursday, May 11. “Cus-
tomarily, we go out on Thurs
day evenings to visit corre
spondence course students.”
said Leonard Pamplin, mission-
”1 personally did not go out,

did go out and were in the area
where the curfew was imposed
Unaware of the curfew, not
having listened to the radio.
Chan was escorted part of the
way home by the police.”
Tile area where the church
meets for the morning service
only. Kowloon Tong, was one of
the areas under curfew. Eve-
ning services have definitely
been affected due to the fact *
that members are afraid to
venture out lest thev get caught
in a curfew. Several times the
curfews have been imposed with
only a couple of hours notice,
said PampHin.
-The ■ American workers in
Kowloon have had to restrict
their activities and movements
to a certain degreedue to these
uprisings.
However, at this writing ev-
erything is again quiet in the
city.

The first issue comments
the name chosen for the journal
as follows: "In our contempo-
rary world it is unrealistic to
continue to be influenced by a
concept of mission that has a
primary geographic interprets-

ing American life, are mission
ary situations in our time. It is
with this view Jn mind that
Mission was cliosen for the
name of this journal.”

WACO, Tex. — For the third
time in five years, Christians
from Scotland and the United
States will unite efforts in a
campaign to teach Christ to the
citizens of Edinburgh, Scotland.
On July 25 about 45 Christians
from throughout the United
States will debark from New
York City to participate in the
1967 Edinburgh Campaign. They
will focus their work, along side
their Scottish counterparts, in
the Broom house section of Edin-
burgh.
This was the site of the 1965
Edinburgh campaign which es-
tablished the first congregation
in that section of Scotland’s
capital city. The first Edinburgh
campaign was conducted in the
summer of 1963.
