Rebellion Disrupts Mission Work in China

NOVEMBER 14. W. C. Hankins wrote from Swatow, China: “Nearly all this part of China is in the hands of the rebels, except Canton; it is only a matter of time until it, too, falls. The officials are badly scared, hardly making any resistance at all in most places. Swatow went over to the rebels last Friday, but we can scarcely tell the difference. Everything is very quiet. There has been no fighting, as there was no resistance. The highest official quietly resigned, and the others went over to the rebels. Amoy is still in the hands of the Imperialists. Mission work is practically at a standstill. We do not anticipate having to leave this field, but it is almost impossible to do much with the country in such uproar. Brother Hung (a native worker) says that the people have no heart to hear the gospel just now.”
