:a \Deneral $ur"e~ of tbe jpast )pear in <tbtna. By Arthur H. Hrnirh, D. D.

A New Emperor The great out-standing fact of the past year was the nearly simultaneous demise of the late Emperor

Kuang Hsn. and of the late Empress Dowager. The former event was official­ly announced as having oecurn d on Sat. Nov. 14th, and the latter the follow­ing da.y. Since it was of the utmost importance to the ruling party at Court that its acts should have the sanction of the late Empress Dowager, it will al­ways remain uncertain whether the death of the mentally weak and physically invalid Emperor at so opportune a juneture was so absolute a coincidence as represented. The ediets immpdiately published in the name of the late Em­peror and Empress Dowager a]Jpointed Prince ell 'un, th~ Emperor's younger hrother as PrilH~e RRgRnt. As he was sent to Germany in 1901 as an Imperial Commissioner to apologize for the murder of the German Minister in June 1900, he has seen something of the world, and it is generally agreed that' he was the best choice which could have been made. \.s the youn~ Emperor, who!';e Htyle is HBuan T'ung, is but three years of age, a long regency is as­sured, under the lead of the rather of the infant ruler. The funeral of the late Emperor took pla.ce with Oriental but decidedly somber display in the month of ~lay. That of the late Empress Dowager will occur in the autumn. The change of Emperors had long been anticipated on the part of both Chinese and foreigner8 with feelings of deep anxiety; yet the dreaded outbreaks no­where occurred. The precautions against them, especially in Peking, were very thorough.

The Fall of a Great Early in January it became known that the Prince Regent had summarily dismissed Yuan Shih-k' ai,

Minister of State t,he most prominent and mueh the ablest statesman in Ohina, at a time when to outward appearance he might have seemed at the acme of his power. This step is ~upposed to have been long meditated, and was not improbably due to the advice (or request) of the late Emperor who was "betrayed" by Yuan in the dramatic events of Sept. 1898. It was feared that this would mean 8. speedy and final disappearance of all Yuan's able aDd powerful friends in official life, but such did not prove to be the case. He has ~ince lived in complete retiremeht. As a result, the ship-of-state appears to have lost its rudder, and international relations have since been more than

The largest interna.l problem befol'f> the Chinesf> Govel'nment is the refOl'm of its civil serviN'. Thf>

S. in 190!l, in each of which a wholf' 1UTa.\· of rf'fUrIllS was pro­mised, have become merely interesting relics. 'rhis is strikingly illustrated in the refusal of Grea.t Britain to take part in au in ternational conference t'l arrange for the abolition of the iut.ernnl transit tax known alS likill, and its ~mbstitution by an additional tariff at the ports. 'rhis refusal is not ~t all be­cause Great Britain is opposed to the reform (which has been long urged) but because agreements with Ohiua are shown hy events to have no binding force.

The now thoroughly aroused spirit of the New Chi­China tor the Chinese

11:1 has l'uisetl :.\. vehement outcry against all foreigu loans wi.thout which it is impossible for Cpina to be developed. The same objection is also held agaist employing foreign experts of an}' kind, though Ohina herself probably could not provid~ five men capable of conducting un­.-.ided any first-class engineering enterprise.

o One such man, however, has lately pushed to com-RaIlways 1 t" d' hI d km 10 k pelOn In a vel'y ere lta. e an wor an I -e man-

a mile in length. This line runs through the Nankow Pass, where the shrill whistle of the engine and the roar of the paRsenger a.nu freight cars on one side the valley, are matched by the steady tinkle of the clumsy bells hung to the necks of the deliberate camels, thousands in number, on the other. This ~triking,-hut merely temporary-conjunction of the old and the new ren· ders thE' fifteen miles through this pass the most interesting bit of railroading ill China.

By n1eu,nH ()f a foreign loan-at onee detested and indispensable-the Belgian railway from Peking to Hankow has been redeemed, and is now ope·

rat~d by China. '111e long delayed trunk line from Tientsin to Nanking has at last beeu beguu, a.nd may be completed in two years or so, doubtless with i III portant( hut not yd predictable) economic results.

A line from Shanghai to Hangchow through a populou8 district with many rivers, (~anals, and countless graves, is [Llso approaching completion entirely uy Chinese work and supervision. But it is the subject of an unending con· troversy with Great Britain in consequence of the yiolation of her agreements { 'll the part of China. .

The great Peking Hyndicate which ten ,veal'S agu was able to get for the asking valuable eOlleessions for mining rights ill Shansi, has been compelled by ir~'esistible puhlic opinion, and at great monetary expense, to relinquish its "'righi.s", a probable precedent for all other eoncessionH llot already in opera­tion. The sentiment behind this strenuous opposition to foreign exploiting is sound, but its manifestations are frequently both unreasoning and unreason­able.

It is an ominous symptom that government lotteries for the capture of funds to be used in railway extension have made their appearance throughout the Yang-tzu Valley, in distant Szuchuan, and lately in Peking itself. The result is sure to be financially disappointing flIld socially demoralizing.

Self-Government for A great deal of Cllill(~Re ink has been used up ill drawing up regulations for the llew "Self·Govern-

China ing Societies" in varyious parts of Ohina. Itisaju. dicious generalization of an expert in Chinese affairs, that the Ohinese are fond of drawing up regulations, but not at all fond of beihg regulated. Ac­cording to present appearance the self-governing bodies will be merely nar­towly limited oligarchies, with liberties whieh are nominal only, a.nd subject ~o ~ variety of efficient vetoes. . -. .

The UConstitution" Talk about a "constitution" gl"owseach year more earnest and more hopeful-to the talkers. A consti-

for China tution is conceived of as a political nickel-in-the-slot machine, out of which comes whatever is wanted in lots adjusted to the wish of the operator. Inetead of this it is rather a barbed-wire fence to prevent "all sorts and conditions of men" from doing as they please and incidentally compelling others to do so too. There is no Asiatic country from China to Tur­key which has the smallest notion what "a constitution" is or means, though they can (and doubtless will) learn in due time. Thus far the fundamental conditions of self-regulation, self-initiative, and self-sacrifice a.re by most Chi­nese quite undreamt of.

The New Peking Notice should be taken of the }'emarkable tl'anR-formation of the capital of China, with its (a~ )'t't

hadly) macadamized streets, and eX~fl:1l6nt police foree. ~ew buildings in foreign style are springing up ever,vwhel'e, and the nt'w Foreign Offi(~t' wou1(1 do credit to the Occident.

ThE" sineerity of China"s a.ttempt to aholish the use of opium was explic­itly recognized, and at the S':l.llle tiIlle it was clearly pointed out that despite the regularl.y diminishi .... g importation of opium from India (in accordance "Yi'ith agreement) the amount. entering Chinese ports is now grt-ater than ever before, and the price. unprecedentedly high. 'rhis is due to the fact that while the Indian gOVPl'llmeut has limited the amount shipped to Ohina, it hae not 80

limited that exportp<l elsewhere, and those shipmentR now gravitate to China· 1t wa~ shown that while the prphibtiion of the sale of opium is very unequally ('Ilt'orced being ill Home pl:Jces singularly efficient aud in others totally ineffici­pnt.

present seventy five pupils. the first class to gra.­duate in Jan. 1911. Several accomplished physi­cians devote themselves to instruction b ere. This is the only institution of the sort recognized b.y the Chinese Government, which after due examina­tion will grant degrees. rrhe influenee of this young College upon the evolution of a medical scienee for China is likely to be of very great im­porta-llee.

If it is true that Christianity's duty to China is to establish a new social atmosphere, then several fresh invigorating whiffs reveal the fact that the work of the women of our North China Mission is counting definitely toward it.

. In stagnant, conservative _old Peking, a new sistere Pekmg Women liness is bringing together high-bred Chinese womAn

educators and the missionaries in an exchange of courtesips. They invite each other to exhibits of class-work and examination papers, a.nd at the beautiful graduation exercises of the Union Woman's College, many wealthy ladies,­some of them teachers and pupils from t'xclusive Chinese schools,-came io show an enthusiastic appreciation of the H(·holarly graduating essays and the remarkably good playing and singing.

Well-chosen lectures and a ('oncert Lave brought a Lectures for Women slowly-growing clientele of intelligent, high-class

Chinese ladies to our churches and halls, :l,nd it is a matter of regret that the preRsure of many other duties has unavoidably lessened the number of lectures and newspaper-readings this past yeal". The centuries-old barriers are break­ing down, and there should be those who could give all their time to this line of activity which is so palpably changing the social atmosphere.

A most satisfactory and suitable church has been completed on the new suburban premises at Rsi Ku, Tientsin. Thebl'ightnessof the church within and pleasing effect without, together with evident adaptation for its purposes elicit commendation.

The New Literati Tht': special weekly lectures in Peking, so marked a feature of Dr. Am~nt's work for three yea.rs, have

been discontinued, and the loss of this form of work means ,much in consider-ing the influence of the church in these days of changing frOm, old ways to new. A number who attend the English Chinese school at Pao Ting Fu are teachers in government school~ and hold other positions of influence. Sons of the gentry and small officials of one country field c)'owd into the academy at Tungchou. 'L'he parents themselves are far from Christianity. but there is an evident growth of confidence in the church and its schools.

higher standard. Street chapels are not as crowded as was the case when the curiosity bump waR larger. The man and his message, well presented, still draw, af.l. of old, but a 'half hack' man aoes not do thE':. message justice. It js well that the kindergarten, primary and secondary schools, and the colleges have 'Ccome to the kingdom for such a time as this." Never have there heen 80 many foot-pounds of potential spiritual energy stored for present and future use. UontinuedBffort, sustained b.v inexhaustahle spiritual fire,. counts any­where. One man who has been attendillg a street chapel for twenty years decided this past year t.o enter the church. When Pastor Jen was laid aside for a half year by a distrp-ssing accident, his faithful deacon an~ church members kept up the daily street chapel preaching and prayer meeting. At Lintsing the attendance at Sunday services has been so great that the men have Illet in the street chapel, while at the same time a meeting for women was filling the Girls' School to overflowing.

Instruction of Candidates The Chinese are by no means steeped in Bible doc­Teachers, Bible Women' trines. Instruction is essential. An inquirer is not

admitted till Ii considerable probation period of watching and instruction has passed, not to mention inquiry into motives. "Htatioll classes," lasting 20 days to a month, for the instruction of inquirel's and memhers are held at suitable points and times as thf-l force of helpers may permit. Iu one field the ideal set is that one third of the membership shall study for at lea .. .,t one l110nth each year, [u Peking, Pang Chuang and else­where conferences are held every year 01' two for the advancement of preachers and other evangelistic workers.

little IS

doubt but if the lllell and money 'were to be had, chapels and schools could be opened in llPW places with every prospect of good results. Appropriations annually grant~d by the mission boards remain about the N

M a.y we have them ere thp open

A Struggle A series of poor crops, the aevelopment of modern needs and other factors make it increasingly hard for

the. Chinese to exist,-even at a poor dying rate. A mark of this new era is a necessary rise in the fO:alaries of native helpers, and eyen in the pay of servants and coolies. "Famine prices" prevail, and it is most problematical where the talary increment is to come from.' The scale of wages now of necessity being adopted means an increase in the budget of only S2,OOO for the whole mission, but the funds are not in sight. The increase may iJe meL in part, but certainly not· entirel,., by incref..sed nati va contributions.

At Tungchou a self-support society has been organ­Self Support

. ized, and $200 is in hand, largely contributed by non­Christians. They have monthly meetings by themselves, but still show too much inclination to get all they can frolD foreign sources. Progress is heing made and the Chinf'se church is assuming burdens not inconsiderable in most of the stations of the American Board in North China. Contributions to some of the local home missionary societ.ies have fallen off somewhat this year in two or three of thp. stations for special reasons, chief of which is the poor agricultural return.

Profitable Famine

Relief

Lintsing ha.s redeemed about thl"ee acres of land by employing famine refugees and others of the very poor to fill in the shallow part of an immense hole

ill their new compound. Home remarked, as they were paid the pittance of five eents a clay, "Now we can live a few days longer."

Staunch and continued friends, like the one who has A Paying Investment so ably administel'ed the estate of a loved friend h:we

especially is their aid appreciated if they are also graduates of the Theologi(~a] Seminary. A half-dozen helpers have gone to distant Chiang Su province to help other missions in entel'ing the doors opened by famine relief. A few, alas, have been lost for cause, but who can say that prayer will not bring them back again?

The New is Better These are not the days when one attempts the role of pI'ophet, but "ome things show t.he trend of the

times. Everywhere, especially in cities, one hears how few people now burn incense and make offerings at the temples. In Peking, at Chinese New Year time, the old-time booths for the sale of paper kitchen gods· had entirely dis­appeared. Alas! that in the casting away the false, so few are ready to accept the true. That those who are in the forefront al'e more or less influenced by th~ Christian Church appears in various ways. The government has appointed certain men who are to lecture regularly in reading rooms, flnlightening the people. One often hears the expl'ession: "It is just like the Jf>SU~ t'IJurch" A Peking church member gives a lecture every ten days to those confined in the great prison. He does not dare to talk directly on religion, but. has given such good instruction that extra time ha.s been demanded of him hy the prison authorities.

Prove all things, Hold Past

The change of atmosphel'e that Christianity brin¥,s shows itself in many ways, according as the forcp.~ are at work in cities or in villages. E ere eorneH the

good news of tiny feet unbound in spite of jeers; there, of heroic, self-denying, stead) service on the part of some Bible-women who have left home and com­forts to tell the good news to (,thers, and to live out, in their midst, the truth with which they shall all be made free at last; here, of a, little girl with so k~en a desire for study that she walked 40 miles with her aching bound feet, to get a chance to go to school; there, of a woman"s soeie~y In.nded to ghe of their possessions to send the money to support two Bible-women in Oeylon. The old order of selfishness is surels changing.

Porward It bas been a good yeal' despite burdens and 0('­

casional discouragments, a year in which there has been much for which we thank the kind Father who has ruled and over-ruled, a year which we gratefully helieve is the promise of a far hetter one just be­fore us.

for the appointment of a Trained Nurse for work in the Mission .• Judging by the experience of those already employed in other

Needs at Tientsin As last year the most pressing needs concern

the work for women and children. The coming of ~li:-;s lVlacGowll emphasizes the call for station­class buildings, for an adequate- plant for the gir1s' hoarding school, and for a missionary dwelling in

the Mission has ha.d long }t-'al'S of experience), and would be aniilable for all the northern stations. It would aJl.;o at times be most useful for valued Chinese workers trained at great expense of time, money, and hea,rt toil, who seem especially liable to break down under the stead y lahor of teaching.

It would likewise be of service to partler-; of advanced students studying geology at tirst hand-a task at present of great difficulty. The slight pxpellse would be met from the remaining indemnity funds.

Salaries in Peking The re(IUest of last year for all amplpr sab.]'.\' for the married ll1is~ionarip~ in Peking is renewed as a

regular estimate. It is a general experience that prices havfl risen and 111'P

rising, so that it is . difficult, and sometimes impossible to live on the SUill

hithel·to granted. There is far 1110re eutel'ta,inmellt of missionaries than in itHY

other station. Tourists freqmmty appear armed with h,tters of intrmluction, and these are ever increasing. The demands of local h"spitalit,v Nl'P mon~

The plan proposed is that in nsp in thE' Turkey and thp .J apan misHiou:-; for reasons similar to those just given.

The Needs of P' ang In 'dew of thp large llledi(~al work ill P'<1llg ell na.ng and of the fad that fuuds have bpPIl speured for tllP

Chuang thorough recollRtl'lH'j:ioll of the medieal plant botl] for men and women, the :Mission reuews its reqnpnt for an u,<lditiona.l physi('ia1l to be located there, and also asks for a woman pilYf;jeian, a~ with faruil,v ('ares Dr. Emma Tucker can not contillue to discharg(> thp. dutieR of this important post unaided. Experience on a large sealp has shown the wis(lofll uf always having a dOllhle force of physieian~ at eyery large hospital and dispensary. This is more especiaHy true now that tha 11(>W medicinfl requires so much teaching in thp recently established medical colleges, lllueh of which is as difficult as using an putirely llPW

language. The station in P'ang Chuang village, tlwugh

;.tIl entirely rural one has a compound smallpr .1.nd more cramped tha,u any other in the Mission. It is hoped that it lllay now be expall<l­

AMERICAN BOARD 27

" girls'school. As the W. B. M. I. deputation has so lately made an inspection of this station further explanation is unnecessary.

T After nine years this station shows signs of recupera­

he Lintsing Station tion trom the Boxer disasters. Commodious

and well located premises have been Recured, new dwellings put up, and a variety of appropriations is now needed to enable the resumption of work in one of the largest fields of the Mission. The sums asked are boys' school dormitories, $1,000; school building, $2,000; dining-room and kitchen, $500: furnishings, $250. With these amounts the educational plant for boys would be complete. rrhe W. B; M. 1. is asked for an appropriation for land, $1,000, girls s~hool, $2,500, wall, $500, dormitories, $1000, and a house for the single women, $3,500. The W. B. M. P. is asked for $500 for a dispensary. and for $5,000 for a hospital building. Here, as in l"ang Chuang, the recent visit of the deputation renders fuller explanation superfluous. The field is not only wide but full of promise; the workerFl al'e enthusiastic and the out­look hopeful.

~ow that LintFling has been provided for it is time The Kalgan Station to turn attention to another station which has been

long in recuperating from the calamities of 1900, and the ensuing period. Two years ago when the American Board deputation visited China, they

recommended turning Kalgan over to another society, and the offer was made to more than one board, and seriously considered. But so far as we are informed nothing came of it. In the meantime circumstanoes have materially changed. The supply of the more pressing needs as already mentioned has given the "NIission hope that in time like help may come for the whole field.

Kalgan is 011e

of the few natural gateways of China, and ,vill always be the principal one on the north-west connecting with Russia. . The com­pletion of the first railway ever built putil't"l,v l)~' Chin-ese englneers hrings Kalgun within a ff'\\" IH llll':-;

ride of Peking, u.bolishillg the formidable journey of foul' 01' DW-' days once 80 great a wearinpss and vexation. The cit~· itself is growing, so that the line of separation between upper, middle, and lower city has disappeared, and the whole valley is filled with people to the prohaLle Dumher of 80,OOO-perhaps more. The railway hrings in n. whol1y lH'W ('lass to ming]f> with tlw un impress­ible men of Shansi,

There is not only a liew Kalgan but a Ilf>W :\lungolia. Thf> gOYf>rnment has expropriated a broad ribbon of laud, perhaps h huudred miles wide, from the edge of :Manchuria to the remote province of Kamm, which is ])OW availab]f> for Chinese settlement. Within the past few years tens of thousands of Chin­ese from the overcrowded provinces of Chihli and. Shantung Ihave trekked through the passes into this new land of promise. They take their families but leave behind their temples and tneil' gran~s. _·Uready the gra.SR~· uplands are becoming dotted with little Chinese villages. The phenomenal Sll('ef>RS of thp Presbyterian ~lission in Manchuria has been largely oue to the fi:H't that in the new society the close restraint of fo~silized vilJag~ ('ustoms is brok<:>n. Tens of thousands have been gathered into the church. A like experience ma:( be looked for in this new Mongolia. Kalgan is the 011f> place Htrah·gieal1y situated for precisely this. work. If we had no work there we should bf>gin one. But we have a work conducted for 44 years, and hallowed by missionary graves. The retiring of }lr. and Mrs. Sprague (the former aftf>r more than a generation of service) necessitates the temporary working of Ku.lgan as an out-station of T'ung Chon, which will be,' however, inconvenient and difficult. But the station, especially under the new cnnditioni, can not be given up, and Wf> urgently appeal for its reopening. The fruitful dispensary work conducted b:v thf> physicians of two miRsions in misscalled summer "vacations" ensures a cordial welcome -the moment the enterprise is renewed. There are dwellings for two families in excellent condition, with other buildings, t •. ud a dispem;ar:v wen located in the city. .

The field within the radius of this sta.tion which no one elsl-l is workillg ill\ large, and all that we need to enter it effectively is ruen, meallS, faith, and courage. With these a8 an outfit we believe that the abundant 1a ho1'8 of the past may be rewarded by a more abundant harvest in thf> fnture.

lResolutions. ~HE North China :Mission desires to expreES its appreciation of the character \J.( and work of MrA. Ursula Stanley, who passed away last September. Mn;o.,

Stctnley was forblnate in being permitted to work in the same station for­forty-six years. She was a pioneer and laid the foundation for the superstructure which is being re~u'ed today. She perserveringly endured the hardships in the beginning of her missionary life from unsanitary dwe llings, ill-health and loneliness. It was discouraging to labor for those whose hearts were hard, or who fell away, disappointing the hopes they had raised. Mrs. Stanley's home, with its flowers of which she was so fond, was a delightful place for the stranger or newly arrived mis~;ionary.

}lrso Sta.nley had unusual gifts. Xot only did she engage in evangelistiC' and. school work, but she was prominent in efforts for the well being of the foreign community. In the erection of the Union Church and also the Temperance Hall for the foreign sailors her solicitations secured liberal gifts. ShE" was also active in efforts to aid the worthy poor. She was favored the last ,'ears of her liff' in being located in a new part of the city, where the prospects of su(~eess a,rE" hright to those wIw take up the work which she laid down.

}\:lrs. Stanley had the supreme joy of seeing her children I engage in the same noblE" cause to which she gave her life. In old age children and grand­(·hildren were a.hout her anrl her hurial was attended by old friends and fellow missionaloies. All mounl her as a mother and public benefactor.

"And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, write, Blessed are the fl~ad who die in the Lord from henceforth; Yea, saith the Spirit, that the~· may rp-st from their labors: and their works do follow them."

he~tl'tecl sympath)', hi8 readiness !tu llelp the pOOl' and distressed, and his courage and promptness in action made him a power for good in the city of Peking. Here and in the surruunding region his great life work was done~ The Peking ch1lrch with its more than a thousand members, a large number of whom wel'e baptized by him, is his lal'lting IDAmorial. Both among his own people in the h'omeland, and among those to whom he ministered ill China, he had a rare power of communicating the impulse to purer and better things, and to a higher and nobler life. Respeeted and loved by multitudes of the Chinese fOl' whom his life had been spent, he has passArl, we believe, into the more immediate presence of the Mastel', with

"Life's raee wf\ll rHIl,

Life's work well dOIlt',

Life's crown wdl won," His sorrowing wife and son, his mission associates, the Chinese Christians

to whom as pastor and guide he was a tower of strength, and' his mall,Y friends on both sides of. the ocean have in their grief and sorrow the peaCA and comfort of believing that he has enter~d into the infinite reward and hlAssedneRs of the ~iaster's service in those realms wh~re there is indeed neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free, but all are one in Christ Jesus; and where we believe he. is with many who have been brought into God's kingdom through him.

~ 1MB MAy CHAPIN was bOl'n into the North Oh~na :Mission while her IIIJ parents were missionaries in Tungchow. After spending the years of

her youth in the homeland, she returned to Ohina and to the place of her birth. And from Tungchow the Father called her back to Himself and to the loved ones gone before.

The Mission hereby expresses its gratitude to God for the life that she lived, for the love and sympathy that shone out so radiantly for all, for the blessed memories that will be cherished in Tungchow and in Kalgan, for the calm faith that gave cheer and patience during the long weakness of lingering disease, for the serene assurance of things unseen, for the final release from the flesh, and for the continued ministry of the life with Christ. "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God."
