in China, to Speak Here Twice
Tomorrow.
He Was Formerly a Worker on the
Western Frontier-Man of
7 Wide Experience.

Rev. L. B. Ridgely Of wuchang. China,
will speak tomorrow morning at st.
Marks church and tomorrow evening at
Gethsemane. Mr.. Ridgely is a native OF
Philadelphia and a graduate of the Phil
Adelphia divinity school. After serving
for a time in eastern parishes, he felt he
ought to undertake service In the mission
field and accordingly came west For
four or five years he was rector Of st.
Paurs church, Salt Lake City, where his
work was generously praised. Then In
spite of the fact that he a married
man and rather older than men who take
such work are usually, he offered himself
for service in China and was accepted.
He was sent at once to Wuchang, just
ACROSS the river from Hankow, which Is
one of the strong Episcopalian centers in
China and the see city of the new dis
trict. Here Mr.. Ridgely was first occupied
with -eyangelist1c and general parish work,
giving also a great deal of time to the &C
outrement of the language.
. When Bishop Partridge was consecrated
Bishop of Koto, in February 1900, Mr.
Rfdgely succeeded him head master Of
Boone school, the second largest school
for boys In the Episcopal mission in
China, and ono Of the best schools of it's
kind anywhere. For about two years Mr..
Ridge]y worked there with great success
and was relieved little over a year ago,
at his own request, in order that he might
90 back to the more direct evangelistic
work.
Mr.. Rtdgely is now in this country on
THROUGH He IS an interesting and tell
ing speaker and has evidently given much
or his time to studying Chinese habits and
customs. He speaks with keen apprecia-
ton Of the large amount Of good there

time emphasizing China's great need Of
the gospel. He has contributed frequent
~ to tho Spirit Of Missions.
