DtCtIlDeI ~, l1AH'
Dear friends of Minnesota State Pri-
son: Although a great distance lies be-
tween America and China, we are greatly
interested in the affairs of the prison. We
were especially pleased in hearing that
Mr.. Sullivan had invited us to write
few letters telling of our school activities
and life in China. Because of the slow
mail service it is probable that this letter
will reach you after Christmas, but all
the same we wish to express the hope that
you have had Merry Christmas and will
have Happy New Year.
As 1 was born in Wuhu in the province
of Anwhei, am naturally more acquainted
with missionary work in this province.
Anwhei in the northern part is cut up by
mountains while in the southern portion
of this province it is low lying plain
subject to floods. The people are farmers,
simple, robust, and Woodworking. Man
DARN is spoken in Anwhei except in the
extreme south where local dialect is
used.
Although mission work has been in
progress for thirty or forty years; the
province is still unevangelized and more
missionaries are needed to complete the
evangelizing not only of this province,
but of all the other provinces of China.
The province in the southern and central
parts abound in rivers and this condition
makes it easier for the missionaries to
visit the inland and secluded districts.
Mission stations are found in most of the
principal cities, and these stations serve
as the home or headquarters for the mis-
sionaries. AT these places churches are
established and work done among the ma
tives. If married couple is at the sta
ton the husband is the pastor of the
church, while his wife has charge of the
women's work. Oftentimes the missionary
will leave his home and go out for an
evangelistic tour. The small churches
near the city are visited after which the
missionary leaves for the country districts.
The meetings are held on an open piece
of ground or on some threshing floor. Cos

we have had so many strange
experiences during the past two months
that most of our plans have been frus-
trated., We left our mountain for Hankow
the first part of November in view OF
threatened attacks by brigands Temper
ary quarters for our school were secured
in a village near Hankow, where we re-
mained until Christmas. Since the Ameri-
can Consul assured us that it was safe
to return to our mountain home we were
very glad to get back, where we have
home comforts.
China is in. very bad condition at

on the part of the foreign governments
will help to put China in order This
does not mean armed Intervention but
simply that no delay will be tolerated ir

present. A firm hand will prove bless

NEWS BY CANNON SHOT

The Erie Canal was conceived by De-
Witt Clinton, Governor of New York.
He wanted a through waterway connec-
ton between the Great Lakes and the
Hudson river He sought help for this
project from the Federal Government,
but when this was declined he succeeded
in getting the state of New York to
finance the canal as state enterprise.
The Erie Canal was begun in 1917. 1t
was finished in 1925.
"Clinton's Big Ditch" was name ap-
piled first in ridicule, but the force and
vigor of the Governor won adherents to
his idea, so that by the time the canal
neared completion "Clinton's Big Ditch"
was a term used with respect.
Men saw the possibilities of it. The
Erie Canal was and is the greatest public
work ever attempted by any state. 1t was
the foundation of the commercial devel-
opment and prosperity of the state and
city of New York, and the news of its
completion was the most important news
of the period.
Here was a waterway beginning at
Buffalo on Lake Erie, touching at Oswego
on Lake Ontario, continuing to the Hud-
son river and down the Hudson, reach
ing New York and the sea.
The formal opening of the canal was
announced in unique and dramatic fash
ion. Cannon were placed at intervals,
hearing distance apart all along the bank
of the canal, down the Hudson and Gle lr
out to Sandy Hook.
At ten o'clock on the morning of Octc-
Der 26, 1925, the first boat entered the
canal at Buffalo and the cannon at the
entrance to the canal was fired. When
this shot was heard a cannon farther
down the bank was fired and the news
was carried from cannon to cannon until
in one hour and twenty minutes New
York City knew that the great work of
eight years was accomplished and that
"Clinton's Big Ditch" was carrying pas
sengers and freight from the Lakes to the
Hudson.
When the final cannon was fired in
New York the firing order was reversed
and in another hour and twenty minutes
Buffalo was told that New York had re.
ceived the message
That was ten years before Morse in
vented the telegraph-six years before the
first steam railroad was operated in the
state.
1t stood then as a record for the quick
transmission of news. In eighty minutes
the news had travelled over four hundred
miles, and vast number of people knew
by the evidence of their own ears that the
range of mountains which extends along
our eastern seaboard was no longer a
barrier to communication and trade with
the opening West. There were newspa-
pers in thos. days, too, but except in the
towns where they were printed they could
not reach people until days and weeks
after the news had ceased to be new.
With the advent of telegraph and rail-
road newspapers ceased to be mere author
ity and opinion on events. They became
established as gatherers and dissemina-
tors of news. Editors learned that the
value of their papers to their readers de-
pended on the promptness, the scope and
the accuracy of the news they carried.-Ex.

pei hymns usually open the meeting and
after crowd has gathered, the missionary
delivers a short message, telling of Gods
love and mans need of repentance. The
meetings often have wonderful results,
for many people in this way hear the
word for the first time. If there was not
some effort of this kind to reach the far
mers many of them would not have either
the money or the time to 90 to the city
where the mission station is situated, and
there hear the gospel.
Feng Yu Hsang is an encouraging pro-
duct of missionary endeavor in China. He
is sometimes called the Christian General
of China which is well merited title.
During the Boxer movement in 1900 Feng
was a private in the Chinese army He
was then impressed with the calmness
with which Christians bore persecution.
He was converted during one of DR..
Motifs gospel campaigns In few years
he had risen from common private to
the rank of a general Though his faith
was often severely tried he remained rue
to his convictions even though that might
mean criticism and ridicule. For several
months he was in the province of Hyseh
and Human and in these provinces he
showed wise judgment in his dealings
with the natives. Sanitary laws were
enacted in his camps and in the nearby
cities. His upright policies won for him
great popularity among the Chinese as
well as among missionaries Feng is
born leader and also gifted with strong
personality. Although Feng is Chris
tian many of his men are also Christians.
The troops under his control are some
times termed the Singing Army which is
most fitting name. Christian hymns
bands play religious selections. During
the recent fighting in Honan they were
found to be equal to any troops brought
against them. Feng has recently beer
promoted to National Inspector of the
army, and he with his men are now in the
city of Pekin. Men with strong Chris
tian character are the kind of men China
is in need of at the present time.
In closing we would call attention to
the present serious outlook on the social
and political life of China. Patriotism is
an unknown quantity in China, and for
this reason she is like house divided
against herself. On account of the long
continued drought the country is again
threatened with famine of greater pro-
portions than any of recent years, also
the military operations with the brigan-
dage will tend greatly to intensity the
suffering. The common people of China
are peace loving and industrious and GER
tainly merit our pity. Although this pic
ture is so dark we hope that God in his
own way will work out the salvation of
this great people, and for this we pray.
remain yours sincerely, boy of the
American School,
WILFRED SMITH.

Dear Friends at the Minnesota State
Prison: Although we have never seen
each other, and are great distance apart,
yet we in China are very interested in the
prison. We have heard through our prin-
cipal, Rev. Roy Thelander, of the great
religious work done by Chaplain Benson.
We have also heard that the prison at
Saltwater is one of the best equipped in
the world Mr.. Sullivan has invited us
to write to you, for which we wish to
thank him very much, for we are very glad
to use this opportunity. Although it may
be late in January or maybe even in Feb
ruary before you get this letter, yet we
wish to convey our best wishes for the
season to you all.
AS l am especially interested in hospi
tai work, l shall try to tell you something
about this branch of work in China. TLis
