WANTED MISSIONARIES
TO REMAIN AT KUTIEN.
Chinese Believe Their Departure
Would Alarm the People.


New York, Dec. 21-The board Of
foreign missions OF the Methodist
Episcopal church has received a letter
from Rev Walter w Williams at Ku-
why some of the missionaries did not
follow the advice by United states
consuls to seek protection at the sea
ports DIR. Williams encloSes let
ter from the STA Huoi (reform So
ciety) of Kutien, setting forth briefly
in characteristic Chinese style the
measures the Chinese themselves took
TO protect missionaries. The letter
says:
I'VE have just heard that the honor
able church missionaries, on account
of the uprising of the new association
(the revolution) with their just issue,
consul to the capital to be protected in
peace This is a good plan, arising
from a good purpose.
However. the people of Kutien have
become very much enlightened and
their customs changed. The people
and the church are all at peace. Your
honorable church has opened schools,
hospitals, orphanages and similar
good things. Not one of these but is
gratifying to the hearts of the people.
Although the people of Kutien are a
simple folk, still they have seen and
appreciated these things. If you
(missionaries) should suddenly go
from Kutien. we greatly fear that the
people would be alarmed, and think
matters worse than they are. If you
stay, this will not be the case.
This society humbly requests that
you permit them to persuade you to
remain. Should anything unforeseen
occur, we should, of course, exert our
selves to protect you and your proper
ty. We are quite sure that we can af-
ford efficient protection. We await
your views, and wish you peace and
happiness"
DR.. Williams adds that the Chinese
reform society has organized home
guards, under the leading men Of the
surrounding towns for the protection
of life and property and is doing much
other useful work, including almost
the entire Punishment Of opium.
