centre of disturbance. but il has MISSION

ping Tu. in Northern China. where the
insurrectionists are doing their worst
work. Special concern is felt for Dr. j. b
Hartwell and wife. Miss Annie Hart
well. Miss Lottie Moon, j G Owen ana
Miss Matte Dutton. at TunS Chow
Miss Dutton left this city only about five
months ago for that mission. Up to this
me the Board has received no message
I'M any of its China missionaries since

them have been or will soon be. the vic
Tins of the Boxers.
