I. The capital of one of the
most populous and prosperous
provinces of China,; the imperial
seat of a lormer dynasty, and a
great center of education under
the old, and still more under the
new regime. Hanchow, the latest
city to be entered by a represen
tative ol .the Young Men's Chris
tian .Association,' is a field of
commanding importance and in
spiring possibilities. The mis
sionaries of the city have long
felt the need of such a work as
the Association is qualified to do
in such a center, and for the past
decade have been appealing for
men to be sent out by the Young
Men's Christian Association to
help meet the situation. While,
of course, the ultimate aim of the
Association will be to. reach the
entire manhood of the city, it is
felt by all that at the beginning
the primary effort should be to
reach the thousands of students
congregated here. These students
constitute an important field for
several reasons. In the first place,
they come from every quarter of
the province, and present, there
fore, a unique oppoitunity of
touching with Christian influences
the entire province. In the second
place, most of them will go back
to their communities to become
leaders to a degree unparalleled
in America. This is true because
they are riot simply preparing
themselves for leadership along
old and wrought out lines as at
home, but they are the first to
equip themselves for .leadership
in a new and wonderful era which
is just dawning. It is unquestion
ably the Modern Student of China
who is to fashion and mould tin
iMiIna r( Tomorrow. It is not
surprising :hat the missionary
body of this great student center
should have earnestly sought out
some means of reaching this class
that they might have a part in
determining the ideals of those
who will determine the ideals of
the New China. Nor is it sur
prising in view of the nature and
oast history of the Association
that they should have chosen it
as the agency in and through
which they could best accomplish
this end. At the same time, that
thev have done so, gives us a re
' newed sense cf gratitude to Cod
for the Providential way in which
He has opened up before our move
ment from the very beginning
increasingly numerous and effec
tual doors of opportunity.
II. As I have been in Hang
chow less than six months and as
most of this time has been devoted
to language study, I have
naturally little comparatively to
report. While, however, most of
this time has been spent in study,
considerable time has been spent
in getting acquainted with those
with and among whom my work
will be, and in "'endeavoring
through these to acquaint myself
with the situation as a whole.
The result of this observation has
been encouraging. It has revealed
on the part of the Chinese pastors
; of the city an attitude as sympa
thetic to the Association as that,
of the foreign missionaries.
though less eager on the whole
because less informed. It has
brought to light a group of men
qualified to become the nucleus of
a substantial Christian member
ship. Some of these would be
capable at once of assuming the
duties of directors, and of wield
ing at the same time considerable
influence in the city on behalf of
the Association. A good work
of long standing is already carried
on in the two mission schools,
which in itself constitutes a good
beginning upon which to build . a
larger work. The splendid work
of the Shanghai Association, only
150 miles away, is well known
and has served to create a demand
for a similar work here. This
applies especially to the students
in government schools, who but
for the Shanghai example would
probably knew little and care less
about the Christian Association.
III. The most encouraging
single event which has taken
place since my arrival, was the
series of meetings conducted by
Eddy in May. These meetings
were held primarily for govern
ment students. Generous adver
tising was placed in the vernacu
lar press and scattered in leaflet
form in the various schools and
colleges. It was a matter of con
siderable conjecture, first as to
how large a response these invi
tations would meet, and, second,
what sort of a reception would be
accorded the speaker bv those
who would come. However the
largest public hall in the city was
secured. "-A tickets were placed
at centra r..- iK distribution
!- i
to those who shou. JV all for them.
The distribution f tickets began
two days before the first meeting,
and within the first twenty-four
hours the entire supply was ex
hausted. When the hour of meet
ing arrived the hall which feats'
1,000 people was crowded, large"
numbers were turned away from
the door, and hundreds were re
ported not to have come because
of their failure to secure tickets.
Not less remarkable than the at
tendance was the attention ac
corded Eddy as he plead with the
men before him on behalf of an
unselfish and fearless patriotism
based on Christianity. At the
close of the final meeting which
was held Sunday afternoon, Eddy
announced an After Meeting and
