returned yesterday from a nine days trip out into the mountains Bro Cheavens came over and accompanied me We had all kinds of experiences Out in a lonely canyon we met a crowd of fifteen or twenty men on horse back who had been out to escort a visiting priest to his town As they they fired off their pistols and cried Muran los Protestantes death to the Protestants We made no reply but rode on and were not harmed At Rodeo a town of some 2000 inhabitants where recently Bro Jose Ramirez has

located we had all kinds and shades of too vile to mention were hurled at us both when we walked on the streets and by the crowd at the door and that packed the street every night in front of our preaching place One woman followed brother Ramirez half a block crying out Live Mary and die the Protestants at the same time spitting upon him On Friday A M we were awakened by suffocating smoke and flames near our beds and found the door burning having been set on fire by the overzealous sons of Rome But the fire was put out without other damage than the burn Ing of our door But with It all God gave us a most gracious victory and Sunday morning It was my privilege and joy to baptize grown men and women save 3 That afternoon with these just baptized and other Baptists living in and around Rodeo we organized a church of 39 happy band of mountaineers rejoicing In their newfound love of Christ We closed the days work by administering the Lords supper taking good care to

them that the bread and wine had not been changed Into the real flesh and blood of Christ Early Monday morning we left for Durango Some of the did not let us down over the wall by a basket but they thought It necessary to escort us well out of town before letting us continue on our way I greatly appreciated having Bro Cheavens with alone me He did some most excellent preaching greatly edifying his hearers with the unmixed truth Should you hear any one over In the United States saying that Rome is betterin her methods than In former centuries please refer them to Bro Cheavens or are very much prepared just now to dispossess their minds But with all the hardships and persecutions of the trip we greatly enjoyed the work wo saw being done Bro Jose Ramirez has been very careful in his work out there In the past two rejoice with you In the great interest being taken by our home churches May there be a great victory in all mission lines this year In much love yours FRANK MARRS

The people are be but In the now intelligent more Christians are begin coming very patriotic and especially the They ning to feel that they do not want to be dependent upon foreigners from this time are going to be more and more sensitive about being led and among the controlled by foreigners and are going to demand leaders fro Chinese In other words we are going to have the same thing here that we have in Japan I am glad to see this now spirit because I believe that it means much for the progress of the Gospel It will put us behind the hinest and make us their assistants in the work which is theirs Our great work from this time will be to prepare trustworthy leaders anil encourage them to take the lead It would be far more pleasant and less Conlin ing for me to go from place to place and preach than to be confined to teach ing but I will do much more and more effective preaching by giving my timeThe twenty men I am teaching will increase my work to training evangelists Besides the evangelists we need more educated laymen

hearty thanksgiving the present bright outlook iis noted An important meet ing with the State Central Committee held in the hom*o of Mrs II T Falvy in New Orleans was much enjoyed The Louisiana trip was made In company with Miss Georgia Harriett the State Organizer This was both n great help as Miss Barnett is a woman of ability and tact also with large and experience having been a missionary in Atlanta and New Texas that immense State where we were Impressed by the bigness Big hearts big of everything what can be written in brief space buildings big plans were in evidence everywhere and so big were the The prospects for W M U work that we wore perfectly delighted J NV accompanied who us on L Williams the Womans Work in Texas Mrs the trip is one eminently fitted to fill the position She was among the earliest workers in Texas has fine judgment and Is with all a lovely motherly woman who inspires confidence At Baylor Female Collego Belton wo had the great girls A largely attend opportunity of pleading in behalf of missions with Is connected ed meeting was also held in the chapel of Cottage girls and no one Is admitted who Is with Baylor College In this home are able to secure a college education without the help It affords Mrs K G Townsend nobly assisted by Mrs Ella Yelvington Kly Is certainly doing a great work for the education and highest development of Use young people At Abilene an allday meeting which was said to be all too short was held with the women and in the evening we attended the Bible School which was then in session At this meeting more Texas missionaries were present than we had ever seen at any one time A request was made that the visiting ladies should come forward thus giving those who desired an opportunity of shaking hands One of the missionaries then arose and in a voice big Texas bore most emphatic testimony to helpfulness of W M U box work He stated that everything he had on had thus been given and asked tSat should In the matter of handshaking those who had been so greatly Only one thing was regretted In connection with be allowed first privileges She im B Gambrell the Texas trip that being the serious illness of improved sufficiently however to give a most delightful luncheon and by the power of her indomitable will went out for the first time to attend the Dallas Arkansas afforded an unusual experience After being handed a slip of paper on which was a list of places with no other information and travelling alone we felt something like Abraham who went forth in faith not knowing whither he journeyed There was however not the slightest reason for un easiness for the arrangements though different from those to which we were accustomed had been made with equal care and culminated in a number of delightful surprises As each place was reached a delegation of ladles was awaiting prepared In cooperation with others to extend every possible kind ness and help The spirit of W M U workers In Arkansas Is most hopeful In the past they have had difficulties but the last annual meeting seemed to mark an epoch In their history and with renewed consecration hope and zeal they are now aiming to Go Forward

STORY

Foundation Builders CHAPTER III Every boy lovos a drum and dressed in cap and sword has sometimes played soldier lie has dreamed of brave deeds he will do when he is a man and pictured himself as the soldiers in pictures riding on his fiery charger over his fallen enemy But there is something far braver than this far go alone to help ones enemy to lift up not tread down Our mission built on tho graves of heroes who were Foundation Builders for mission life was then very very hard and many lived but a short time I wish I could tell you the brave deeds of all of them but that would require volumes I can tell you only just a litte of a very few The Lepers Friend One of tho bravest was Issachar Roberts who went to China in 1836 Like all the other missionaries who went to the great empire before 1841 he was forced to wait in Macao until by war the gates of prejudice were opened Of all the sad nights of nn Eastern city the saddest is the and feared by all To reach the lowest poorest class was Mr Roberts desire Gathering a congregation of these poor doomed men around him in told them of Jesus At last the waiting time was over and after seven years at the door he hastened to the city of Canton Soon he gathered a little church of six or seven members But not content with this he built a float Ing chapel to go in and out among the many thousand boat people of Canton Let us so with him through the streets of this great city and see with his a woman beating a child over the head with a club I saw he Raid eyes I saw hogs drinking the blood of headless face Its until blood ran down of such executions take place daily in this thirty bodies Just of a house over the river with a child floor through the I fell country offered to assist me I got out as best Nobody deep into the mud waist I could I was politely asked if I would have a boat and was charged for it Preached before breakfast to eighteen lepers This is Chinese character laying broad and deep Time went on The foundation builders were they had distributed nearly IG find we that Before ten years had passed IS pages of tracts and scripture Mr Roberts himself was busy putting But the beautiful gospel of Luke into the Chinese langua The chapel robbed was Church Baptist not wanting The the seeds scattering only was It laid in ruins and the members scattered gospel preaching the of truth for like the apostles they went about Board Mr Roberts became an After a number of years work with our continued to work in Canton independent missionary but for a long time which had been rag Rebellion The year before our own Civil War a groat leader had been an old pupil ing in China grew to greater proportions The life changed OthEr of Mr Roberts Now indeed the scene of the professed who missionaries feared for the sincerity of the leader been his pupil and offered him I so Mr Roberts The rebel emperor had By royal decree he was given the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs through the rebel territory free access for himself and all other Christians Scriptures were printed and The Idols were cast down and temples destroyed people flocked to the new standard distributed among the rebel troops and not by might nor by power that God But alas It all ended in disaster It is comes but by His Spirit escaping with his life Six Mr Roberts was soon forced to flee barely he had literally China years later he left China forever For He in teaching Five years be lingered given his life

Time of Trial Nothing proves ones love as keeping on In spite of discouragement OIl the Southern Baptist people gathered into the new Southern Baptist Conven Were they really and truly determined to send tion really lovo missions Perhaps they would never havo the gospel to the very ends of the earth known how real and true their love was but for Gods testing in those early years In the first ten years missionaries were sent to China alone sixteen of whom either died or by ill health were forced to return home ere the ten years were out The faint hearted said Why this waste Wo will trust Him The new recruits and those who sent them said kings to death saying earthly march slay us of soldiers Ours If the to reply shall die do to and of Ours make but the soldiers not the Heaven ly King do less The Very First Let us not therefore fall to honor these brave men and women although they fell early in the fight Among those whose names we should remember are Samuel C Clopton George Pearcy and their wives the first missionaries sent to China by our Convention As we have seen both Mr Shuck and Mr Roberts were In China before our Convention was organized In May 1845 The next August Samuel C Clopton was appointed to China and soon his friend and classmate George Pearcy was also chosen After solemn dedication services In which Mr Shuck and young Lun Lang took part they sailed on June 22 in the same ship with H A Everett the Commissioner of the United States to China who promised to do all In his official capacity to aid them In their work This trip was a remarkably short one for those days their splendid landing them in Canton In little more than four months But ship say two of the passengers were soon to find graves In China Mr sad to Everett the distinguished traveller and author and warm friend of the mis died the next year and Mr Clopton so strong and young and hope ful stood by his grave The sun beat down fiercely upon him In all Its semi tropical strength In less than ten days he had died of the fever he had thru A

The First Missionary Physician From the very first and before Medical Missionaries wm so called our Convention sent out missionary physicians Georgo Pearcy was perhaps one of the earliest medical missionaries sent out by any board Few I imagine of the hundreds of girls who have gone out from Hollins Institute know that the name of George Pearcy belongs to its missionary history and that he was Its principal for two years In China he fell on troublesome times England was again at war with China teaching her to respect the privileges she had been forced to grant hv the war of We find a letter of Mr telling of the British marching Into Canton The women missionaries had been sent to Hong Kone now a city under English rule He stayed to protect tho mission property from destruction All the Chinese merchants font off their money Thou sands of the people left for fear of the coming army Tho result was that In two years from that date the city of Canton was opened to the had before only been allowed to live outside tho walls might go into the country provided they did not go Carth er than they could go and return In one day Thus little by little was the door pushed open by the Iron hand of war But sickness was already laying a heavy hand on our Mr Pearcy After two years more thinking a cooler climate might restore fall health he and

sailed for the now mission In Shanghai But what a voyage Down upon swooped the most terrific which had visited the coast of China for fifty years A hundred vessels and a thousand lives were with its missionary freight weathered the storm There lost but the were five years of work for them to do In done In weariness by both himself and wife At last they were temporarily ordered home None too soon As they were about to sail he was seized with Asiatic lay like dead for a day and night conscious and fearing that he would be burled alive but unable to make a sign The ship waited for Mrs Pearcy until she should have burled her husband but instead he was restored to life and came home to continue here the work for Christ which he was not

A Great Scholar Two more names of these foundation builders who were permitted to labor but a few years and we come to some of those whose long years of service have built up the work to what it Is today One of these was Francis Cleav land Johnson who after two years was so broken In health that he was come home Think of It boys He was such a scholar that It was said he wrote his diary In Chinese and could have spoken to the Roman Senate as Intelligently as Cicero himself Another early missionary was Hayfield Whilden who although he was soon forced by ill health to return to America so loved the work and so children to love It that two of N B Williams and Miss Lula missionaries Miss Whilden born In China still work there making an almost continuous missionary history for this family of more than fifty years Mr Whilden wrote many missionary poems one of which we will give you next month The Worth of a Soul Has any one ever counted the worth of a soul One incident of these early days may teach us the value our missionaries put upon one heathen

soul

Among the Chinese girls whom the lovely Mrs Shuck gathered around her was one she named Jane Oh she writes In an old letter if she should be saved It will be worth all my toil and all my sacrifices The joy will far out weigh all the sorrow It cost me to bid adieu to the land of my will feel more happiness than to have gained the wealth of worlds But sho did not POO the answer to her prayers for Jane Yet her work did follow her One girl for whom she prayed as we have seen was Three years after her teach own father What of Jane America by ers death Mr Pearcy wrote home with joy telling that Jane had become a Christian Thus again we seo how God answers prayer
