" Our purpose is to serve the missionaries in China. This shall be a review for, about and by missionaries, in the fullest Catholic meaning of that term. It seeks not mere readers but members, team-members for it is only part of a team. We want it to be realistic, parctical and missionary -- kind of a magazine of which scores of Bishops and hundreds of priests have talked in mission residences, procures, schools and even in concentration camps during the past several turbulent years. China Missionary hopes to be what in picturesque American language is called a "trade journal", except that here the trade is a vocation, the vocation of the missionary to China and of China to Christ.
