Mob Fighting for Admission.
Soldiers Threaten Mob.

Being angry with the soldiers for pro-
tecting a Christian chapel, they rushed
to the military headquarters, where they
overturned tables and broke dishes and
furniture. AS soon as the soldiers learned
of this they were bent on revenge and
resolved to wreck the church to which
the mob belonged and kill the priests who
are located there. Had it not been for the
prompt Intervention of the magistrate
they would doubtless have carried out
their threat.
ION the same day, whenever any of
our people were met by those who were
in the mob, they were assaulted. Several
were beaten, and one of our inquirers
from the country was severely cut about
the head and face. In the afternoon the
magistrate sent an armed guard to eS-
cort me to the yamen., where we talked
things over. Early on the following morn

NARROW ESCAPE FROM
ANGRY CHINESE MOB
Story of Adventure Received
at Seventh-Day Adventists'
Headquarters.

r. F. Cottrell, Christian missionary in
China, had a narrow escape from the
| hands of an angry mob, who smashed the
furniture in his chapel, according to
| letter received from him by Elder w. A.
Spicer, secretary of the foreign mission
| board of Seventh Day Adventists, at their
headquarters in Takoma Park. Mr.. Cot
trell, who had his wife with him, states
! that it was at Hwa Yung Hsien an out
station in the province of Human, that the
trouble occurred He says in part:
Sunday morning one service had been
held and another was just being opened
when the alarm was given that mob of
| several hundred with clubs, knives, ETC.,
! were gathering about our chapel COM
pound I ordered the large chapel doors
closed and barricaded, but they were soon
smashed open by the crowd outside. I'm
mediately we dispatched man to hasten
to the back door, run to the yamen and
delay.
Mob Fighting for Admission.
'The mob outside were fighting for en-
trance, while our people were doing their
best to keep them back Some sympa-
thizers of the mob were in the audience
when the trouble commenced, and these
began smashing up benches, chairs, the
pulpit, etc. The shouting grew louder
and louder until it became deafening
roar. At my suggestion Evangelist
Hwang made his way through the crowd
at the doorway, reckoning and bowling to
the mob in the hope of keeping them back
until help should arrive. 1t was a rather
perilous thing to do, but had the desired
effect
About one-half hour after the trouble
began the soldiers arrived, and at length
succeeded in driving the crowd away. But
in their frustrated rage the mob overdid
things.
