A new place has been marked on the
map, and as people are getting familiar
with the name Lienchow and reading
Of the terrible massacre there of
American missionaries, they are won
dering where the place is located and
what manner of city 1t is. That it is
in China they know. as the name in
dicates, but just where in the 4.225, 900
square miles of territory comprised in
that vast empire they have but vague
idea.
Lienchow lies about 300 miles to the
northwest OF Canton, In the province
OF Kwangtung, the district from which
practically all the Cinnamon in the
United States come. It is city of
some 20, 600 inhabitants If you consid-
er only the population within the city
proper, but II the populous suburbs ex-
tending to the east and south are In
cludsd as they properly should be, the
figures will be nearer $4,000
Lienchow In peculiarly fortunate in
its location resting AS Il does by the
side OF the picturesque river of Lien
chow, which winds It's tortuous way
to the southeast and at last joins the
North river IN its plunge almost due
south to the great West river, a few
miles west of Canton.
One would have to travel far and
search long In China to find another
city with as beautiful and attractive
surroundings as those upon which the
people of Lienchow look. A point of
vantage from which to look upon the
fertile plain as it stretches west and
north is at the basyor the pagoda,

OF clear sky OF all places in China
where American missionaries are la
boring, Lienchow was the last place
one considered as dangerous, for even
during the Boxer troubles of 1900 the
missionaries there were unmolested. A
writer who has studied the people
considers them more docile than those
of the lower districts, being more
civil and appreciative than the myri-
ads 10 the south. And it is to these
people that the missionaries have been
ministering In the women's hospital
there. DR.. Eleanor Chestnut one of
the murdered missionaries, had up to
the time OF her untimely death treated
6,479 patients since 1898, the year of
her arrival Upon the field. During the
years since the mission was estab-
llshed at this interior city by the Pres
byterians quite a valuable property
had been acquired, including as it did
the hospitals, the residences OF the
missionaries. and the schools, mostly
new buildings, which included a
church just completed with a seating
capacity of 700. All these buildings the
Chinese mob burned after the murder
of the FIVE missionaries, Mrs. MachIe,
and her ten-year-old daughter, Amy,
DR. Eleanor Chestnut, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Peale. DR.. Machle and Miss Pat
terson managed to escape from the
cave where they had all taken refuge
and gained the house of the Yamen of

most striking profile of an enormous

seen the striking likeness have dubbed
it the "Old Man OF Lienchow." but to

can upon occasion pour forth floods OF
water and deluge the country. as hap
pened many years ago. when a most
disastrous food overwhelmed the plain,
water rising to the roofs OF the houses
on the higher ground in the city. But
as matter OF fact. the water did not
come from the hill at all, but was the
result of a terrible cloudburst. which
the sOperstitious awe of the people at
tributed to the power and influence OF
the dragon. Sha-mo-ling is evidently
considered the presiding genius OF
Lienchow, and the city has been built
with reference to it, the street that
runs from the east to the west gate be-
ing laid out IN direct line with It, so
that in walking towards the east its
solemn head looms up continually be-
fore the eye. To wish that a man may
go to the top of Sha-mo-ling is curse
of dreadful import, and is especially
feared by the Human people, who come
and go in great numbers.
All the chief branches Of the busi-
ness of Lienchow are in the hands OF

of the mission station at Lienchow
some 20 years ago. 1t was no easy task
for the Presbyterians to gain foot
hold there, for, Notwithstanding the
professions of good will on the part Of
the chief official Of the city repeated
and persistent obstacles were thrown
in the pathway of the missionaries.
Negotiations for the purchase of land
and renting of houses fell short of
completion, after the owners had in
dictated their willingness to close
bargain. This perplexed the mission
aries greatly, for they had seen the
sub-prefect, who was a grandson of the
great Tseng-kwok fan. and he had ex-
pressed the greatest friendliness and
