Serious in Western China

Secretaries of American missionary so- cieties, the American Bible society, and others having work and workers in the upper Yangste region of Western China, express the belief that American mission aries are safe, while they admit that he trouble there may be long continued and may result in much loss of properties belonging to American and English 'nis- sionary societies.
 Cheng Tu. the capital of the Szechwan province, the center of the present oiIt- breaks, Is headquarters for vast mission ary interests, most of them America n. There Is located here one of the numer- ous presses, or printing houses, scattered throughout the far east. where are manu- factured Bibles, Testaments and vast numbers of Christian books in languages of the Orientals. The American Bible so- ciety makes and distributes there upwards of 100,C09 volumes a year. and others do colportege work in proportion.
 Societies having largest numbers Of workers in the affected region are .he Methodist North, the Baptist North and the American Bible society, the Young Mems Christian association, the Methodist North women and the Canadian Methodist and from England the Church of England missionary. the China Inland. the Friends and the British. and Foreign Bible soci- cities.
 The province is densely populated by an uneducated. often warlike but verile .lass, a very small proportion of Manchu, and often given to uprisings. not against mis- sonaries, but against foreigners, incud- ing the Manchus. and against foreign ideas. The apparent need has led mission ary societies, especially American Baptist and Methodist, to send of recent years large numbers of workers into Cheng Tu and the country about it.
