certain incantations," writes Father Mar
quet. they become invulnerable as soon
as the spirit to which they surrendered
themselves has taken possession of them.
But whenever Christian is present or
wherever church stands. the spirit. they
say. does not descend upon them, and so
they cannot become inYulnerable. In fact.
not far from the Christian establishment Of
Tchu-kin-Ho Cling TcheouD. three of those
who had been initiated, volunteered. after
their incantations. to be fired at. The first
of them was instantly killed. while the two
others were mortally wounded.
Boxers Blamed Christians.
1T was market day, and the Boxers.
afraid Of losing their prestige before the
people, proclaimed loudly that this was the
fault of the Christians They spread the
news that neophytes had killed one of their
adherents and wounded the Others and de-
clared their intention of getting rid of the
Christians, sacking their houses and burning
their churches"
OF the beginning Of actual trouble, Father
Marquet writes:
with the exception of three communities,
which. foreseeing what was about to hap
pen, had armed themselves, and two others,
which were protected by pagan village
chiefs, every Christian establishment at
King Tcheou was sacked. At Leou-Pa.
Tchoang, q Christian who wanted to save
his house, was stabbed; then an inflamma-
tory fluid was poured over his body and set
on fire while he was still breathing. A few
days later 1t was the turn of the Christian
establishments of Pou-Tcheng Keao-Ho and
Tong-koang. The district Of Father And
lauer, the real hotbed of the Boxers, suf-
fered most.
Christians Brave.
First Of all. the Christians 2ere asked

to apostatize. but, so far as is KNOWN
none did So and every Christian commu-
