Another distinguished woman in
connection with Chinese medical
work is Agnes G. Murdoch, NJ
D., who is stationed at Hwai Yuen, in
South China. She and her two sis
tiers, who are engaged in evangelistiC
work, make a trio that 1t would be

Woman Physicians Work.
One of the great women medical
missionaries is Mary H. Fulton, M
D.. who, for more than a quarter of a
century, has been the leader in South
] China OF medical work for women
and children. DIR. Fulton is in charge
of the David Gregg Hospital for
| Women and Children at Canton; is
the head of the "E. A. K. Hackett
Medical College for training Chinese
women in medical practice, and also
! the superintendent of the Julia M.
Turner Training School for Nurses"
These two latter institutions were for
long time the only institutions in
China training women for medical

| The Rev. A. A. Fulton, D. D., class
mate of DIR. Lusk in Union Seminary,
the brother of DR.. Mary Fulton, is
one of the most successful and eff
cient missionaries of the board. He
is located at Canton, and went out
| in 1880. He at present has charge of
more than forty churches, and has
been instrumental in doing possibly
the largest evangelistic work of any
missionary in China. He is known as
! Steamboat Fulton" because of the
rapidly of his movements, the ag-
gressive character of his work, the
whole-hearted way in which he
plunges ahead in spite of all OBJ
stacles. He is magnificent speaker,
virile thinker, an enthusiastic mis-
sionary who for one generation has
| linked his life with that of the Chi
nese people.
| In China Since 1850.
| 1t is interesting to note also the
| length of service of some of the mis-
sionaries in China. The oldest mis-
sionary in service is the Rev. William
| A. Pa Martin, DID, LID, who was
| born in 1927 and arrived in China in
| 1850. He has been in continuous SER
vice since this, save for few years
when he entered the government SER
|
conferred upon him. He is member
of the "Institut de Droit Information
all and of the Cor de la Soc. de la
Legislation Compare" etc. He is the
author of many interesting and val
liable books, such as the Evidences
| of Christianity" the "Cycle of Ca
thay," etc. His volume on the "Evi-
dences of Christianity" published in
Chinese. is said tp,be the best sim
/ gle" book OF any volume published in
| the Chinese language in recent times.
| He has acted as interpreter for the
! United States officials; as translator
on numerous occasions; as the or
| ganizer and president of the Interna-
| tional Law and Language School in
| Picking, and for a time as president
| of the New Imperial University of
| China, organized by the government.
| Some idea of his activity can be
| gained from the fact that when he
passed eighty he rode out on a dom
| key to the Pearl Grotto," a two
| hours ride from Picking, climbed one
| thousand feet to the top of the noun
| tain, walked down, rode home, and
| in the evening walked more than a
mile to a mission compound to make
a social call He has been repeatedly
decorated by the Chinese government
with mandarin rank.
| Half a Century His Record.
The Rev. Hunter Corbett, d. D.,
LII. D., is another veteran in the Chi
nese mission. He was born in 1885
| and went to China in 1863. He has
been in continuous service since that
time. In 1907 he was chosen moder-
ator of the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church, U. S. A. He
spends many months of each year In
the Saddle" or, better, in the
| "wheelbarrow, for modes of trans
portation in China are still primitive.
| Yet he finds time to teach in the
| theological school connected with TIE
| mission, and one of his great works
| is the street chapel, connected with
which is a large museum. AS many
| as $4,000 people visit this museum in
| a wear He is more widely known by
| his travels through the province of
| Shantung probably than any other
| living missionary.
Another missionary of prominence
| is the Rev Paul d. Bergen, D. D.,
| for many years president of the
| Shantung Christian University at
Wei-Hsien. This is the only Chris
tan university in a province of
| thirty-eight millions of people. 1t is

Some Younger Men.
Among the younger men is the Rev.
J. e. Williams, who is the vice-presi-
dent of the Marking University. This
Is one of the great union universities
in China, In which the Baptists,
North and South; the Presbyterians,
North and South; the Methodists,
North and South, and the Disciples
are united in furnishing an pp-to-
date. well equipped, Christian univer-
sity for the region in and around
Marking, the former capital of China.
Rev. f. w. Bible is also one of the
Younger men, who is connected with
fho great Hangchow University, an
other union institute, situated in the
CITY of Hangchow. During recent
yiosit to this country Mr.. Bible, by
his forceful presentation of the work,
was able to raise a large sum of
money for his university. 1t may be
of interest to the readers of the Eve
ming Star to know that the special
ca mpaign inaugurated two years ago
bv the board for the raising of funds
fo,. China has already netted to the
hoard between four and five hundred
Thousand dollars in cash and about
one hundred thousand dollars in
pledges.
Some idea of the extent of the work
by the board in China can be gained
from the fact that last year the board
expended In buildings, in equipment
of hospitals, churches and schools,
mad in its regular work the sum of
sTT3. 952.05. This money was spent
only after careful consideration of
the various needs of the seven mis-
sions which are scattered from
