Rioting in China

Review and Herald Publishing Association · Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C. · Apr 28, 1910

The center of the rioting in China seems to be Chang-sha, Hunan, where we have a station, under Brother T. J. Laird and wife. The despatches seem assuring that the Europeans in Chang-sha have found refuge in foreign consulates and on shipping, several small gunboats of foreign powers having run up the river to Chang-sha. We pray that our workers and all the missionary army may be protected, and that quickly this antiforeign rising may subside. These things are signs to us to hasten on with the work in the far East. The work not done in times of peace, will have to be done in times of unrest and tumult. The world is straining every nerve for the coming Armageddon; it is for us to devote every resource to the work of God.
