CHRIST the PEACEMAKER: “My peace I give you; not as the world gives…” (Jn 14:27). During her second year in Yangchen, Gladys Aylward, a London parlor maid who went to China in 1930, was summoned by the Mandarin. A riot had broken out in the prison. She found the soldiers afraid to intervene. The warden said, “Go into the yard and stop the rioting.” “How can I do that?” The warden said, “You’ve been preaching that those who trust Christ have nothing to fear.” So into the courtyard she walked and shouted: “Quiet! I can’t hear with everyone shouting. Choose a spokesman; let me talk with him.” The men did so. Gladys talked with him, and then came and told the warden: “You have these men cooped up with nothing to do. Give them work. Also, I’m told that you don’t supply them food; they have only what their relatives send. We will set up looms so they can weave cloth and earn money to buy food.” This was done, and again the Peace-Maker won the day.
