Sun Vat Sen, Christian.

"Dr. Sun Vat Sen, the Christian.
just chosen as president Of the new
republic Of China. is the most remark
able character today in all the world.
and the movement In China to free
dom is the most remarkable the earth
has ever known since the days Of
the apostles" said DR.. Len G. Brough-
ton.
while in England / was given op-
portunity to learn the history of DR..
Sun Vat Sen. and this fact stands out
most interestingly: That back in the
nineties while working with heart and
soul to stir up this revolution, he was
kidnapped in London. at the instance
of the Chinese legation.
For a number of days he disap-
peared as If the earth had swallowed
him up. Nothing was heard Of him
One day just as the Chinese govern
ment agents were getting ready to
send him back to China so as to OBJ
tain the $4,000 reward the govern
ment had offered for his head, the
miraculous happened.
"A servant entered the room where
he was confined to obtain a coal scut-
tIe that contained waste paper. DR..
Sun Yat Sen dropped p note into the
coal scuttle addressed TO the public,
telling OF his capture, Goafinarnent 8
ana the purposes OF his captors lie
was possessed with the uospera. -
hope that some one might find the
note. And when the servant emptied
the waste from the coal scuttle the
wind blew the note across the street.
"A passerby picked 1t up and read
IT. Scotland Yard was notified, and
in a few minutes had Investigated,
found DR.. Sun Vat Sen and released
him.
After that DR.. Sun Vat Sen came
to America in the interest Of the revo-
lut.onary movement. to which he has
devoted his life; I'm fact, he went back
and forth working toward 1t. My clos
est friends in England are intimately
acquainted with him, his mission and
accomplishments learned much
about him from them. He was edu-
Gated in London and obtained his
medical degree from the University
Of London.
He has had the fullest sympathy
OF the people Of England in his move
ment, and commanded immense sums
Of money from them for the propaga-
ton Of his movement.
For a great old pagan nation Of
over 4oO.O0o,oOO persons. sleeping for
centuries in darkness. to suddenly
awake to freedom under a Christian
leader Is the most remarkable event
since the apostles"
DR.. Broughton, while abroad re-
Gently, secured the story Of this re-
markable young Chinaman, being
made acquainted with the story Of
his life at Oxford university, where
Dr. Sun Vat Sen was educated and
also in homes OF prominent English
men. where this young statesman and
revolutionist had been entertained.
In speaking Of the matter, DR..
Broughton said:
II regard the story Of this young
Chinaman as one OF the most Won
derful in all the world. 1t Is calcu-
lated to arouse the men Of this coun-
try to the present day opportunities
rs no story Of modern times"
