reSoeta vividly conditions which ax
ieted la China away years age. In
this Incident Mr. Bryan’* father es
caped as if by a miracle Ina a
heathen mob which considered him a
“foreign devil." and set shoot to kUl
him. The article:
“When Dr. S. T. Bryns first went
to China aa a Baptist missionary he
arse sent up into the Interior at a
place called Chingkiang to further the
good work. Dr. Bryan and hi* fam- ■
fly arrived at tha gates of the city
and started tu go in, bat were stopped
by the man who 'kept the gate. The
gatekeeper asked what the foreign
devil’ was going to do in thoir felr
city. The answer was that he had
come to pesaefc the gospel. The gate
keeper went in search ef the mayor
of ike city, who, altar some negoti
ating, allowed the missionary and his
family to enter.
"The little oompeny enured the city
and proceeded to a hone* that had
been ranted for them by soma faith
ful Chinese Christiana. The Chinese
are a very curies* raea sad in this
instance they were not loth to Uva aa
to their reputations They crowded
exceed the little house, peeping
rkmagk the cracks in tha srall and
through the tiny. Mhidlses windows.
It wet several days before tha crowd
ceased to try to get a glimpse of the
hated loreign devil sad his family.
Wbecvr.er U»e good missionary want
mat the peepis would gas* at him aa
if he utra one ef the seven winders ef
the world.
"A little chapel was soon rented
and the week ed preaching began. Hm

day a Chinese ha i parents
lived right ecroee-from the
chapel was taken suddenly IQ and
died in a very few hoars of tease
“•Indy which the Oilmen* were not
familiar with. The father of the
hahy said that *the death at ha child
was due In the wicked wiles ad the
foreign devil, who was always talk
ing •*»••• the way.’ Thie passed on
to mouth until Anally a
to gather. As the crowd
grew and increased it be
am* turbulent, violent, and
Suddenly seme one in the
crowd shouted, ’Sety waug gsr yang
guay tie,’ which mease ‘bet’s kill the
bad fpreign devils.’ The cry was tak
en up and repeated by thousands at
throat*. AH that the meh needed waa
a leader and thti leader soon put in
hie appearance in the guise of a tall,
strong Manchu soldier. This wicked
htrculoan giant got as immense log
ef wood and with the old ef the moo
started to batter down the gate to the
yard of the missionary*! homo and aa
they battered they all shouted in uni
