Description
"Young men and women of China, university undergraduates in one seminar, faculty in another, analyze the present, plan for the future -- all in the light of the mind and religion of Jesus, at the Omei Seminars of 1940 for the study of Jesus. While these seminars were going on at Omei, another similar seminar was being held on another mountaintop at the other side of the Chengtu Plain. In 1941 a third Lodge will be finished for similar seminars. Letters of personal discovery and new life found go from one mountaintop to another." Five male and one female students are visible, another is partly visible. They wear both Western and Chinese dress and sit on wooden benches at tables.
