Rear Admiral Stephen G. Barchet
Rear Admiral, Born 1901, Died 1964
Having previously studied at St. Johns College and Johns Hopkins University, Stephen G. Barchet entered the United States Naval Academy in the fall of 1919, graduating with the Class of 1924. Commissioned as an ensign upon his graduation, Barchet spent the next ten years in a variety of assignments. During that period he served in battleships, destroyers, and submarines. He also returned to the Naval Academy as an instructor, teaching AC and DC electrical theory to 3rd and 4th year midshipmen.
Barchet's seagoing duties during the same period included assignments as electrical and engineer officer, organization, administration, ship operations and direction of personnel.
From 1934, Barchet served as the commanding officer of S-12 and, in 1939, assumed command of Argonaut, the first (and only) purpose-built mine laying submarine in the U.S. fleet. Argonaut was the largest American submarine until the advent of nuclear power. At the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, then Lieutenant Commander Barchet was on station in Argonaut near Midway.
During this first war patrol, Barchet made a submerged approach on what was initially believed to be a Japanese invasion force attacking Midway. (In fact, it was a pair of destroyers detached from the Pearl Harbor attack force on a hit and run raid.) Submerged sonar attacks were in keeping with the established American submarine doctrine of the immediate pre-war period, and further justified by Argonaut's age, great size, inadequate diving capabilities, and lack of speed and maneuverability. Despite some objections raised by his executive officer, Barchet's wisdom was amply borne out by Argonaut's only attempt to act as an attack submarine, when she was lost with all hands in the counter-attack.
After taking Argonaut to Mare Island for modernization, Barchet moved on to a number of wartime commands. These included SubDiv 5 and SubDiv 32. During the early phases of the war he planned, organized, and directed defensive submarine war patrols in defense of the Panama Canal Zone.
From 1943-44, Barchet was Operations Officer on the staff of Commander Submarines, Atlantic Fleet. This post involved planning and operational supervision of some 100 submarines and support vessels. Barchet was awarded the Legion of Merit for his achievements in this post.
Promoted to captain, he also served as Operations Officer, 7th Amphibious Force, Pacific. In this assignment he coordinated planning and supervised operations of approximately 1,000 ships and craft, consisting of cruisers, destroyers, transports, and landing craft. These operations included the assault landings at Lingayen Gulf, the occupation of Korea, movement of Nationalist troops to north China, and the repatriation of Japanese troops at the end of the war.
At the end of the war he was serving as Acting Chief of Staff for Admiral Dan Barbey, Commander, 7th Amphibious Force, Pacific. He received an additional Legion of Merit, a Bronze Star, and the Nationalist Chinese Order of Flower for these services.
From 1946-48, Captain Barchet served as executive officer of the Naval Torpedo Station, Newport, Rhode Island. At that time this facility employed up to 3,000 military and civilian personnel engaged in the manufacture, testing, and storage of torpedoes, as well as conducting research in underwater ordnance.
In 1948, Captain Barchet assumed command of the anti-aircraft cruiser U.S.S. Tucson. Manned by a skeleton crew, and taking on trainees directly from recruit training centers, Barchet pulled everything together and within eight week, with only a 70% manning level, Tucscon was able to complete all assigned tasks in fleet maneuvers.
In 1949, Barchet was assigned as Secretary, U.S. Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island. Leaving that post in 1951, he was then assigned as Commander, U.S. Naval Amphibious Base, Little Creek, Virginia.
In 1952, Captain Barchet took up his final position as Chief of Staff to the Commandant, 9th Naval District, at Great Lakes, Illinois. (The photograph on this page dates from this period.) He retired in 1954, taking a tombstone promotion to rear admiral.
Rear Admiral Barchet passed away in 1964.

After the Lammermuir party survived two typhoons: Quote: "The feeling of our hearts when the storm subsided was that we had been brought back from the verge of the grave that we might devote ourselves afresh to God. . . . May we live as those who are alive from the dead."
From: Hudson Taylor and the China Inland Mission, Growth of a Work of God:
" Emily Blatchley, though unknown to the world, was a true heroine, and an instance of this noble, Christ-like self-sacrifice for the good of others. Her memory is fragrant, for her life was consecrated to Christ and the salvation of the heathen. For his sake she took care of a little flock, the children of the Rev. J. Hudson Taylor of the China Inland Mission. She tended them in health and in sickness, at home and abroad, for years ; and as long as health permitted was their only teacher. This she did to help forward the evangelisation of China, by -setting Mr. and Mrs. Taylor as free as possible for directly missionary work. Not content with caring for Mr. Taylor's children, she became a Secretary of the Mission. She wrote in its interest thousands of letters ; she kept its accounts ; she edited its Occasional Papers ; she helped to bear its burdens ; she worked long hours, and often far into the night. She not only toiled with head and hand, but with her heart too, for she prayed for the Mission. She daily remembered its missionaries by name at the Throne of Grace, and pleaded continually its cause with God. She suffered too. She `endured hardness.' when in China and on long journeys, putting up with much discomfort. She ministered to her fellow-missionaries, and nursed them when they were sick. She bore the trial of her faith and that of love as well, for in the cause of missions she sacrificed her heart's affections. And all this she did in a quiet, unpretending way, and with a calm perseverance which continued to the end of life. None could have given more to the work of God among the heathen than she did, for she gave all she had-herself.' Blessed be God for the grace bestowed upon her, and for the everlasting rest into which she has entered : for the grace which caused her to toil for Jesus, and then to sleep in Him.
" Faithful friend of a feeble but heroic Mission, would that all its helpers were like-minded with thee ! Would that all those who have ministered to it of their substance had as constant a memory of its wants as thine ! The China Inland Mission has no eloquent advocate of its claims. It has no denomination for its, support. It has no great names on which to rely. It is, therefore, cast the more on God, and on the faithful love and help of the comparatively few who can appreciate the simplicity, faith, and devotedness which characterise its work in the interest of China's millions. But let those few remember that it is no small honour to be enabled to recognise and minister to the Master when He appears in the garments of poverty and weakness.
" Friends of the China Inland Mission, a precious helper has just been removed from our midst ; let us close our ranks and seek to fill the gap. That Mission now needs our help more than ever ; let us prove ourselves worthy of the occasion. Let us help the work afresh; and let us Persevere in helping it. Here, around this newly opened grave, let our interest in this work revive ; and help Thou, 0 Lord! Is not Thy Name inscribed upon its banner ? Is not its song Ebenezer, and-its hope Jehovahjireh ? Bless, then, this Mission, and let the little one become a thousand for Thy glory's sake." 1-{1 Miss Blatchley entered into rest on Sunday morning July 26, 1874, and was buried in Highgate Cemetery. The above appreciation-a wreath of tender thoughts to lay upon her grave-appeared in The Christian a few days later.}

The Broomhalls and China
By Dr. Wesley Wei
(Professor of History at Chung Yuan Christian University, Taiwan)
Translated from the Chinese by Irene Li
http://www.us.omf.org/content.asp?id=13990
A remarkable member of the third generation of the Broomhalls was a medical doctor Alfred J. Broomhall, a grandson of Benjamin Broomhall and a nephew of Marshall Broomhall. As Jim's father was also a missionary to China, Jim was born there; he had attended the missionary school run by the China Inland Mission in Yantai, Shandong Province. Jim went to England to study medicine when he grew up. He returned to China in 1938. At that time the Japanese army had invaded China, so China was at war with Japan. Jim decided to stay in China to face the difficult times alongside the Chinese people. During this wartime, Jim practiced medicine in Szechwan. He later fled to India. After the war, he finally arrived at the place he had dedicated his life to serve,a region in southwestern Sichuan where he could minister to the Yi minority people. He opened a clinic to help the sick and to spread the Gospel at the same time. He was greatly loved by the local people. In order to dispel the misunderstanding and fear the public had for people with leprosy, he invited a leper to live in his house for a year. Jim often traveled far and wide by donkey to treat patients in remote mountain areas for free.
In 1951, Jim Broomhall was forced to leave China with his wife and their four children. He eventually worked in places like Thailand and the Philippines, dedicating his life to medical ministry until he retired. In 1988, he returned to the region in Sichuan where he had first ministered to the Yi people. During a subsequent return in 1991, he donated US$20,000 worth of medical equipment to the local hospital.
When he retired as a doctor, putting down his surgical knives, he started picking up his pen to record history. He spent over a decade going through the vast range of records regarding Hudson Taylor and the China Inland Mission. Consequently, he wrote the most comprehensive and reliable biography of Hudson Taylor.
Administrative/Biographical history: Born in Chefoo (Yantai), China, 1911; son of Benjamin Charles Broomhall and his wife Marion, of the Baptist Missionary Society, and grandson of the general secretary of the China Inland Mission, Benjamin Broomhall, who married Amelia, sister of its founder James Hudson Taylor; educated at the Chefoo School and at Monkton Combe, Bath, England; received his medical training at the London Hospital; joined the China Inland Mission (CIM) and sailed for China, 1938; married Theodora Janet Churchill, 1942; the couple began pioneering work among the Nosu tribe of south-west China, but were soon forced by the Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945) to flee to India; after the war they returned to the Nosu for four further years of medical and evangelical work; following several months of house arrest, they were expelled from China by the Communists with their four daughters, 1951; Broomhall's investigations as to whether the CIM could undertake medical work in Thailand led to three hospitals being founded there; also a pioneering missionary among the Mangyan people of the island of Mindoro in the Philippines for 11 years; re-visited Nosuland, 1988; historian of the China Inland Mission; died, 1994. Publications: Strong Tower (1947); Strong Man's Prey (1953); Fields for Reaping (1953); Time for Action (1965); Hudson Taylor and China's Open Century (7 volumes, 1981-1989).
When Jim Broomhall was nineteen, he read a book about the Yi (also called Nosu), a mysterious mountain people of China's Szechwan province. Intrigued, he made up his mind to tell them about Jesus. In preparation, he became a medical doctor.
Jim joined the China Inland Mission, which had been founded by his great-uncle Hudson Taylor; and he arrived in Szechwan in 1938. Because Japan had invaded China, he was unable to reach the Yi of the Liangshan mountains at that time. Instead, he worked at a mission hospital and married Theodora Janet Churchill. Not until 1943 were he and his wife able to work among the Yi. They traveled among them giving medical aid and making friends. But a Japanese advance forced them to leave again, still not having reached Jim's target--the Liangshan mountains.
Although thwarted, Jim told everyone "I want to go to Liangshan to make friends, for there are my Yi brothers whom I love and wish to serve." Finally in 1947, he got his wish, traveling the thousand miles from Lanzhou to Liangshan.
Jim rode a mule along the river banks, treating patients and inviting them to a clinic that he had established. On one occasion he removed a young man's festering arm (it had been damaged in a dynamite explosion) and replaced it with an artificial limb, much to the joy of the boy's family. One Summer he rode his mule up into remote mountain villages, tending the sick.
The Yi were appalled when Jim took in a leper. The two shared a room and ate the same food. The villagers were so outraged that the leper would endanger Jim this way that they wanted to kill him, but his condition improved, although the irreversible damage could not be undone.
Without even the aid of an x-ray machine, Jim performed two operations on a girl with a crippling bone disease and gave her a new life. Multiply these instances by hundreds and you can see why the Yi came to love their missionary doctor.
In 1951, many Yi came to say goodbye to Jim, his wife and their four daughters. The Communists, after placing his family under house arrest, had ordered them to leave the country. Jim shifted his focus to the Philippines. In 1988, although in ill health, he obtained permission to visit the Yi again. He left in tears, declaring he wanted to return again in two years. In 1991, he did return. By then he was deaf and paralyzed along one side of his body, but people ran to tell each other that Dr. Broomhall was back. A woman knelt before him with a ring, given to her by her mother. "You healed my mother. When she was dying, she gave me her ring and said I must give it to you."
"The people of Liangshan have been such a support and help to me," he said. "I will never forget their friendship." Knowing he could never return again, the teary-eyed doctor picked up a clod of earth to take home with him. Three years later Jim died on this day, May 11, 1994. He was 83. His work lives on in the Christian lives he left behind and in the several books he wrote about the Yi.
Alfred James (Jim) Broomhall (in some accounts erroneously called Anthony James Broomhall), British missionary (male); born 6 December 1911 at Yantai , Shandong, in China, the child of Benjamin Broomhall, medical missionary to China, and Marion Aldwinckle. Was educated at the Chefoo Missionary School, Yantai; Monkton Combe School, Bath; London Hospital. 1938 entered the China Inland Mission (CIM). Having been accepted as a medical missionary by the China Inland Mission in London, Broomhall sailed for China in October 1938. The Japanese were already in control of much of China and travel in the country was difficult. He and some fellow missionaries went to Hongkong where they bought station wagons which they then drove through French Indochina and back over the Chinese border to Chongqing, Sichuan.
After the Second World War, he returned to England on furlough with his wife. In 1946 they returned to China. Broomhall went to Nosuland, leaving his wife and two daughters at Luoshan, southwest China, for a while. In the end the Broomhalls spent four more years among the Nosu and established a clinic before the arrival of the Communists. Thereupon the Broomhalls spent several months under house arrest, at the end of which they were expelled from China.
After a brief reconnaissance stay in Thailand, the Broomhalls, with four daughters, moved to the Philippines to work among the Mangyan people on the island of Mindanao. They spent 11 years there from 1953.
Broomhall subsequently held a number of positions in the OFM's national office at Newington Green, London.
He died 11 May 1994 at Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England, aged 82.
Married Theodora Janet Churchill (born 13 June 1913; died November 2000) in 1942.

The Broomhalls and China
By Dr. Wesley Wei
(Professor of History at Chung Yuan Christian University, Taiwan)
Translated from the Chinese by Irene Li
http://www.us.omf.org/content.asp?id=13990
Benjamin Broomhall had a great concern for social welfare and justice. To overturn injustice in England, he earnestly got involved in civil movements like the abolishing of slavery and the banning of the opium trade, which was closely connected with China. Benjamin joined forces with a doctor who had been a missionary to Taiwan, traveling everywhere to encourage the British government ban opium smoking. Benjamin also wrote two books to promote the banning of opium smoking?Truth about Opium Smoking and The Chinese Opium Smoker. In the first book, Benjamin put together the opinions of experienced missionaries in China on opium smoking. In the second, he recorded the true stories of twelve families whose lives were shattered by opium smoking. His purpose for writing these books was to arouse sympathy and to awaken the consciences of his countrymen. Furthermore, Benjamin founded a Christian organization to protest against the opium trade. This organization published a periodical called National Righteousness, a name inspired by Proverbs 14:34: "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people." His persistent effort to abolish the opium trade continued throughout his life. When he was on his deathbed, his son read to him the good news he had long awaited ?the opium trade would be abolished in England within two years.
Between 1878 and 1895, Benjamin Broomhall served as the executive director of the China Inland Mission, which made him Hudson Taylor's representative in England. Benjamin's rich social experiences and broad connections with people greatly elevated the image of the China Inland Mission. While Hudson Taylor was working on the frontline in China, Benjamin Broomhall was raising the necessary funds, selecting suitable co-workers, and publishing books in England. Benjamin Broomhall and Hudson Taylor joined hands in weaving the miraculous growth of the China Inland Mission. In 1885, when the famous "Cambridge Seven" (seven outstanding graduates of Cambridge University who abandoned secular pursuits to go to China as missionaries) headed to China together, a focus on missions prevailed throughout England. Benjamin Broomhall promptly recorded what was happening in A Missionary Band. Over twenty thousand copies of this book were sold instantly; even Queen Victoria got a copy.
Although Benjamin Broomhall never went to China himself, five of his ten children dedicated themselves to the mission work there. His eldest daughter went to China in 1884 and later married Dixon Edward Hoste, one of the "Cambridge Seven," who succeeded Hudson Taylor as the general director of the China Inland Mission. Benjamin's eldest son also arrived in China in 1884. This son first served in Shanxi Province and was later transferred to Shanghai to take care of the finances of the organization.
Benjamin Broomhall, General Secretary of the China Inland Mission, was a prominent figure in churches and at large conventions where he spoke on China and the cause of missions. Although he never set foot in China, Broomhall had a great influence on God's work in that land through the hundreds of young people he selected and sent out, including five of his children.

History of the Broomhall Family Name
>From Genealogical Memoranda of the Quisenberry and other Families.
Published January 25, 1897 by Anderson Chenault Quisenberry, Washington,
D.C. pages 129 - 137. Chapter XII. The Broomhall Family.
The Broomhall family originated in England, where it is still numerously represented, its members being generally people of standing and responsibility, socially and financially. The name of the family is one derived from "place", as the philologists would say. That is, some manor called Broomhall, or Broome Hall, gave the name to the family owning or occupying it at the time when English families began to assume surnames and the family, in its turn, afterwards gave names to various places, as, for instance, there are now villages called Broomhall in Surrey, Worchestershire, Shropshire and Cheshire; as is also Lord Elgin's seat in Scotland. The city of Sheffield has a Broomhall Church, Broomhall Park, Broomhall street and Broomhall lane. Broomhall is also the designation of various other localities and places throughout England.
The name Broomhall, like all other English names, has undergone many variations. Some of its variants are Broomall, Bramall, Brummell, Bromhall, Bromall, Bramhall, Bramell, Broomwell and Brumall...
Concerning the Broomhalls of England, Squire John Broomhall of Beerscroft (generation #3 of the linked page) writes (December 1, 1888) as follows:
"The earliest account which I have of my family is March 7, 1585, just three hundred and three years ago (vide the Early Chronicles of Shrewsbury, page 315, in the third volume of the Shropshire Archaeological Society), where it is stated, inter alia, that on that date John Broomhall and his two men were all three drowned while coming down the river Severn. The next is in the same book 234, when, in 1747, John Broomhall took part in an election for a member of Parliament. It is stated, inter alia, in volume 8 of the same history, that the name of Thomas Broomhall was affixed to the Subsidy Roll in the Castle Ward, in the thirteenth year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, 1571..."
Origins of the Name "Broomhall"
(as prepared by A.J."Jim" Broomhall of East Sussex, c.1990)
BRIEFLY:
In some parts of Britain, notable houses acquired the name Broom Hall from the shrub associated with them. The Saxon for a nook where broom grows was `halh' or `hale', but `hala' meant a hall or manor (Dodgson, J M), However, the Bramall, Bramhall, Bromhall, Broomhall of Cheshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire and west Yorkshire probably came from two place-names derived from the Saxon owners and adopted by the Normans who replaced them. One at least (and probably both) places originated from BRUN, one of the Saxons, and his `hala'. Both names are attested in the Domesday Survey of Cheshire. Elucidation of the records is not easy.
MORE FULLY:
In the 1086 Norman Domesday Survey, BRUN and HACUN had previously held the two manors at BRAMALE (now BRAMHALL near Stockport). Brun also "held lands elsewhere":
EDRIC and EDRIC held the divided manor of BRUNHALA (Brun's Hall), south-west of NANTWICH, Salop (Shropshire). According to Domesday, Brunhala was "iuxta Cowel (Coole), iuxta Sonde (Sound), iuxta Badynton (Badington), and iuxta Aston in Newhall; Aston was iuxta Wrennebury". After the conquest the Saxons were ejected and their lands were granted to Normans. BRAMALE (Bramhall) was granted to HAIMO (Hamo, Hamon) DE MASCI (Mascy, Massey &c) as part of the barony of Dunham Massey, the the Macclesfield Hundred. It is linked historically with Brunhala = Bromhale = Broomhall near Wrenbury and Nantwich, through the family of Hamo de Masci, the first baron.
BRAMHALL (Maccles.) The third baron of Dunham (in Henry II = 1154-89) confirmed to Mathew de Bromale: "the manors of Bramall, Duckenfield and 11 parts of Baggiley which had been previoulsy held by his father, whose name is not mentioned but who was probably youunger son of near kinsman of Hamo deMasci, the Norman Grantee". (Ormerod p 823). Then, in 6 Edwd I (=1272-1307) "Richard de Bromhall obtained release (ie. exemption) for himself and his tenants in Bromhall, Duckenfield and 11 parts of Baguley (sic) from Hamon de Massey, for being impleaded in the courts of Dunham. He is called Sir Richard in the pedigrees of this family, `son of William, son of John, son of Edward', and is allowed for his armorial coat, Sable, a lion rampant Or". [ie. gold on black], as in the early seals of the lords of Dunham. This Richard also occurs in 17 Edwd I (=1289). His son lived in the reigns of the three Edwards, and was succeeded by his brother Sir Geoffrey de Bromhale whose daughter and co-heiress Ales (=Alice) married John de Davenport, son of Thomas de Davenport of Weltrogh or Wheltrough. BRAMHALL therefore, passed to the Davenports.
Other Bromhalls, using Brammall of Bramhall, and spreading into Yorkshire, are notable for John Bramhall, achbishop of `Armach' (1594-1663), and for Field Marshal Baron Bramall, Chief of General Staff (1979-82).
"The Davenport descendants of John and Alice through Robert and Robert were John, 3rd lord of Bromhale, aged 21 in 1440; William and William, 56 in 1528 (Bramall Hall was built in c15-16). Sir William (kt.1544, d.1576) "held the manor of Bromhall from the heirs of Hamon de Mascye(sic) [see John and Alice] by the military service of one of the haubergeon and Lb53.19.6 per annum".
[His grandson William, knighted aged 23 in 1586, was Sherriff of Cheshire, 1605. His brother Humphrey (kt.1619) became Lord Baron of the Exchequer, (d.1644-5). Sir William's "Manor of Bromhall" appears to refer to Bromhall (Nant.) as now shown:
BRUNHALA (Brun's Hall), Later Broomhall, was granted to Willelmus (William) MALDEBENG, later MALBANK, son of Nigel. Brunhala, 1086, became Bromhale, 1096-1101; Bromale, 1308-1475; Brumhale, 1379; Bromhall in 1303, 1389, 1623, 1882; Bromehall, 1379, 1486, 1623; Bromall Green, 1695; Broomhall, 1462, 1508, 1831; and other variations until the spelling was standardised as BROOMHALL. The moated manor was discarded and rebuilt outside the moat as Mickley Hall: (micel = `big clearing'; legh = field).
In 1272 (1 Edwd I) James de Audley died in legal possession of Bromhale while William de Chetilton held absolute ownership. But by 1288 (16 Edwd I) the baron of Wich Malbank had been divided and the rights of Bromhale (Broomhall) had passed with Eleanor Malbank's share to the Audleys. For in 1307 (1 Edwd II) Amicia, lady of Bromhall, widow, gave Robert de Chetilton the house and lands of Broomhall, called `The Hall', and the whole village and adjoining wood.
In Edward III (1327-77) "the manor of Bromhale" passed to William de Bromley [again, legh' and `leah' = field; cf Audley, in 1424 `Audelegh'.] But in 1397 (20 Ric II) John and Alice Davenport still held part of the barony, for they granted to chaplain High de Toft the Manor of Bromhale in the Nantwich Hundred, another manor and the 20th part of Wich Malbank, including BROMHALE and Coole in the parish of Wrenbury, SW of Nantwich.
The family of de Bromley held their rights, however, until Henry VII (1485-1501); they subsequently passed to Lord Kilmorey. G. Ormerod wrote in C19, "A great number of the old houses in this township have been destroyed during the last half-century". Broomhall contained 1291 acres of land, but today the old village scarcely exists, and the twentieth century village has no notable characteristics. People surnamed Broomhall, Bromhall, Brommall, Brammall, &c, are widely scattered between Chester and Shrewsbury, Manchester, and Birmingham, elsewhere in Britain, and to the far corners of the earth.
The Broomhall fo NORTHWOOD, WEM, dated from 1561. Many feature in lists of 1610 onwards. The earliest dates found for Shrewsbury Broomhalls seem to be in 1609 (Rev. Andrew Bromhall, `The Intruder' of Maiden Newton, Dorset; and James Broomhall, 1729, marred to a Pitchford (qv). The family tradition that the forebears of Charles Broomhall, ofBradeley, Staff., came from Shropshire has not yet been supported by the discovery of historical evidence.

The Broomhalls and China
By Dr. Wesley Wei
(Professor of History at Chung Yuan Christian University, Taiwan)
Translated from the Chinese by Irene Li
http://www.us.omf.org/content.asp?id=13990
The most famous among Benjamin Broomhall's sons is Marshall Broomhall (1866-1937), who went to China in 1890 when he graduated from Cambridge University. Marshall was forced to go back to England nine years later due to his wife's health problems.
In 1900, Marshall Broomhall took over the literature ministry at the headquarters. In the same year, the Boxer Rebellion, an incident that shook the whole world, broke out in China. Of all the foreign mission agencies in China, the China Inland Mission had the greatest loss; seventy-nine people were massacred, including children. Fortunately, Marshall Broomhall was stationed at headquarters at that time. He spent days and nights diligently sorting out information gathered from various sources and verifying rumors that were quickly circulating. His hard work led to the compilation of two memorial books that documented the stories of both the martyrs and the survivors.
Marshall Broomhall was also an expert in writing biographies. He wrote biographies of Hudson Taylor as well as several other members of the China Inland Mission, making these people forever respected by the world because of the availability of their life stories. What makes it more amazing is that Marshall Broomhall's eyesight was impaired at an early age. He finished all his research, writing and editorial work despite the handicap of being able to see with just one eye.

article by Norman Howard Cliff
Marshall Broomhall, British missionary (male), was born on 17 July 1866 at 63 Westbourne Grove, Bayswater, London, England, the fifth of ten children of Benjamin Broomhall (1829-1911) and Amelia Hudson Taylor (1835-1918). Of the ten children, five went as missionaries to China: Amelia Gertrude (1861-1944); Albert Hudson (1862-1934); Marshall; Edith Elizabeth (1867- ); and Benjamin Charles (1875-1961).
Marshall was 9 when in 1875 the family moved from Bayswater to 2, Pyrland Road, Newington Green, London. His father, Benjamin Broomhall, had commenced his 20 years as the China Inland Mission's General Secretary. In 1887 Marshall commenced his classical studies at Jesus College, University of Cambridge. After his graduation in 1890 (B.A.), he became engaged to Florence Corderoy (1871-1957), the daughter of his father's close friend, John Corderoy. In the same year Mashall was accepted by the CIM London Council.
Marshall Broomhall sailed for China on 2 October 1890 on the S.S. Shannon. After a year at the CIM's Language School at Anqing ??, Anhui, he was appointed to the work in Taiyuan, Shanxi. There three siblings (Hudson, Marshall and Edith) all contracted typhus, but all three recovered.
He was later transferred to Hongdong ??, Shanxi, to work with Dixon Hoste, his brother-in-law, and with Gilbert Ritchie, who later married sister Edith.
In 1896 Marshall Broomhall took charge of the work centring around Hongdong. Pastor Hsi (Xi Shengmo) had just died, and Hoste had become superintendent of Henan province. The "diocese" was 40 miles north and south, and 70 miles east and west. In 1897 there was a membership of 490 in 17 village churches, with 14 opium refuges. The churches were led by an ordained pastor, three elders, and 17 deacons; and the work was largely self-supporting. Broomhall worked here for three years.
In 1900 Marshall Broomhall was appointed the Editorial Secretary in London. This he did for 27 years, and it was his life work. He also gave preliminary lessons in Chinese to the missionary candidates going to China.
After the 1911/12 Revolution he visited China, and traveled extensively to obtain first-hand and up to date information. His main work was as Editor of the CIM's journal, China's Millions, but he also wrote many books on China.
Marshall Broomhall took part in the Edinburgh Missionary Conference of 1910. He was a member of the commission on "Carrying the Gospel to all the Non-Christian World". Inthis commission constant reference was made to his important work The Chinese Empire: A General and Missionary Survey, and to the statistics in it.
Broomhall lost the sight of one eye and suffered from insomnia for many years. In 1927 he retired as Editorial Secretary after 27 years of service. But he continued to do his literary work.
In 1936, when the Rev. Frank Houghton returned to China to be Bishop of East China, Marshall took over briefly the editorship of China's Millions, but ill health forced his complete withdrawal from the work.
He died on 24 October 1937, aged 71, at Northchurch, England.
Florence Corderoy sailed for China in 1894. Mission regulations required that they could not marry until both had served for two years on the field. Marshall and Florence were married on 17 March 1897. Florence's poor health necessitated their leaving for Britain, and they were unable to return.
They had issue: (1.) Honor Irene Broomhall (born 1 November 1901; died 7 May 1975); (2.) Dorothea Broomhall (born 25 March 1905; died 18 January 2000).

Paul John Broomhall 1910-1995
OBITUARY
On the death of Paul Broomhall on 21 August 1995, MMA has lost a Vice-President and also a loyal friend of many years standing. Paul was the Hon. Treasurer of MMA for over 20 years and he and Harry Bennett and Edgar Stevens formed an effective triumvirate that ran MMA with style, skill and success.
A Chartered Surveyor by profession, Paul founded his own firm after the War and became Chairman of a public property company. A grandson of Hudson Taylor [ actually, a great-nephew ] of China fame, Paul was part of a large family devoted to missionary service. MMA was far from the only organisation which he served, using his considerable financial acumen quietly but powerfully to build up a strength and stability which has stood MMA very well indeed in recent troubled financial times.
Paul could always laugh at himself and here was a Christian gentleman of the old school, who wanted no publicity or fuss but got oon with the job and did a first class job while he was at it. His last leaving report at school always gave him great pleasure:-
"This child does not have a brain in his head. He should do well in the City".
He did do well, but used his gifts and assets as as steward who was totally faithful and who has joyfully received his reward.
Born in China and India respectively, Paul and Rosalind did muchto support overseas missionary work, travelling to India andNepal five times between l950 and l974 on behalf of Interserve.Their travels involved riding and walking over the Himalayanmountains often at great personal cost and danger - to visit andencourage isolated missionaries.

Return To Parents
Children Interned By Japanese
The happiest people in Durban yesterday were the Rev. and Mrs. H. S. Cliff, who up to Japan's march into China had been missionaries there for 20 odd years.
Meeting the B.O.A.C. flying boat, they had come to welcome their three children, from whom they had been separated for four years. The Rev. Cliff in an interview with a "Natal Mercury" representative told how, when Pearl Harbour was bombed and war was declared; the children were at school at Chefoo, in North-Eastern China.
INTERNED
They were interned in their own compound at first, but later were transferred to Weihsien in Shantung Province. We managed to get mail to them by fooling the Japanese. We wrote all our letters in Chinese and posted them through the ordinary mail. They were all received. Later the Japanese found out and letters became very few and far between.
"Camp life was organized to such an extent that in the end my two daughters were able to take their matriculation there. We are waiting for the results now.
RUSHED GATES
They were released by American parachutists, who baled out after the aeroplanes had circled round the camp. Seeing the aircraft, the whole camp just rushed the gates and forced their way out. The parachute troops said later that this probably saved their lives, as the Japanese were so bewildered that hey offered no resistance.
"After three or four weeks they left for Tsingtao where they boarded a transport and sailed for Colombo, via Singapore. They then went on to the Middle East, and now at last we have them home"

The White Cliffs Of Hangzhou
THE WHITE CLIFFS OF HANGZHOU
By Norman Cliff
Courtyard Publishers, PO Box 26, Rainham, Essex RM13 9EN
172 pages. Lb8.95
ISBN 1 0 9533295 1 8
The author's parents, Howard and Mary Cliff, served in China with the China Inland Mission from 1921 to 1942, and their son has used a range of material, including family papers, correspondence and articles written in China's Millions, to reconstruct their history.
But the story has wider implications, since the family roots go back to the Cliff family from the West country, which intermarried with the Broomhall and (Hudson) Taylor families, who were so significant in the last century. For example, Benjamin Broomhall not only served as the first Home Director of the China Inland Mission, but also played a prominent part in the anti-opium campaign in the 19th century. Source material is noted in general for each chapter, so the book is a useful reference tool for those researching the period.
But Howard and Mary's story also reveals the situation in China earlier this century, and the deep commitment of missionaries who only came home on leave after a minimum of seven years' service. Both parents were trained pharmacists, but were drawn into a ministry of evangelism and Bible teaching. As nationalism increased, they faced the urgent task of giving the churches the teaching and training needed to help them to become independent of foreign help. The widening of the Pacific war in 1941, led to agony for Howard and Mary Cliff in Free China, when their three teenagers were interned in the Weixien camp with the rest of the Chefoo missionary school. It was five long years before the whole family was reunited again.
The print is on the small side, which makes some of the family charts difficult to read, although these are valuable in disentangling family names repeated across the generations. But many photos enrich the text, and will make this book absorbing reading for many.

THE LIFE & TESTIMONY OF NORMAN HOWARD CLIFF, 1925-2007
by Estelle Cliffe Horne
There is a network of hundreds of aging people all over the world, who have a lifelong love affair with a beautiful little former Treaty Port on the coast of the Shandong Peninsula in China, formerly called Chefoo, now Yantai. Norman was born there in 1925 of missionary parents and grandparents. There was a British school there, founded by Hudson Taylor, the founder of the China Inland Mission, and uncle of our grandfather, in 1881, for the children of missionaries and others working in China.
Our parents, Howard and Mary Cliff, both pharmacists, went back with baby Norman into the poverty-stricken interior provinces of Henan and Shanxi, where they worked in the walled cities of Qing dynasty China, including a spell at the Kaifeng Hospital in Henan. In the 1927 crisis, to prevent a repeat of the Boxer massacres, they were evacuated from the interior and went on their first furlough, back home to England. There Norman was shown off to his Torquay grandparents, and a little sister, Amelia, was born.
They returned to China, where our father kept goats to supply milk for the children, because this was not part of the Chinese diet. After another trip to Chefoo for the birth of little Estelle, Norman reached the age of six, time for boarding school. They took the train to Tianjin, visiting the ancient Imperial Qing capital of Beijing nearby, and then a steamer to Chefoo. The wonderful, dedicated staff did all they could to absorb the bewildered newcomers into the Chefoo family, and indeed, in the ensuing years, became their surrogate parents.
Dad was transferred to Hangzhou, south of Shanghai, to be the Principal of the Bible Institute there. Chefoo scholars were able to visit their parents annually in the long Christmas holiday. The southern party were escorted by teachers on a coastal steamer. Amelia, whom we called Lelia, was returning to school for the first time with the Chefoo party, when the ship was hijacked by pirates, and steered towards their lair on one of Hong Kong's many islands further south. A hundred British school children had disappeared! The news was headlines all over the world. After four days they were found by the RAF, and little Lelia was chosen to present a bouquet and a gift to the Chinese chef, who had kept them all fed throughout their ordeal.
Sometimes parents were able to come to Chefoo in the summer, but all these visits stopped when the Sino-Japanese War started. Chefoo was taken in 1938. Our parents went back to Britain for another furlough without their children, and then were sent back to their former regions in the interior. In 1940 they managed to come up to Chefoo separately to see us, once each, crossing the Japanese front line to do so.. Dad started itinerant Bible Schools in a circuit of towns, and unbeknown to us, invited his star student from Hangzhou, Fan Peiji, to come and assist him, and for three years they worked together. Because the roads were dug into ditches to foil the Japanese advance, their only means of transport was by bicycle.
The attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 instantly changed our status in the coastal regions, from untouchable neutrals to enemy aliens. In a few months all Allied Westerners, in Occupied China, including the whole Chefoo School were interned in various camps. We spent a year in small Chefoo camps, and then two years in a large camp of 1,500 in Weihsien, now Weifang. By this time Norman had finished school, but spent his spare time learning Chinese, New Testament Greek and Hebrew, shorthand and typing. He had a natural flair for languages, and used his school French to good advantage. In later life, he learnt a smattering of every language he came across, so that whoever he met, he could greet in their mother tongue.
The men worked hard in the camp, labouring where necessary for the general good, and Norman taught in the camp school for those not connected with Chefoo. One of his colleagues there, also involved in numerous tasks, including sports for the youth, was Eric Liddell of Chariots of Fire fame, winner of a Gold Medal in the 1924 Olympics. "Uncle Eric", as all we children called him, died of a brain tumour a few months before the war ended. Norman helped to carry his coffin to our little graveyard, followed, like the Pied Piper, by a hundred children. Norman wrote: "It was during the trying years of internment that I felt the call to missionary and ministry work. On my 19th birthday, walking thoughtfully within the electrified wires surrounding the camp, I made a promise to God, that if he would release me from this harsh environment, I would give my life to him in full time service".
At last, released by American paratroopers, taken to Hong Kong to wait for a berth "Home", we travelled to our parents, whom we had not seen for six years. They, meantime, had been bombed out of their mission-station, flown to India over the "Hump" in an empty British transport plane, and sailed to Durban to wait for our release. In a strange country and culture, Norman went to Rhodes University, and took a B. Comm degree. He worked at City Hall for a while, and then went to Johannesburg, studying for a theological degree. He was ordained, and pastored five churches in turn in different parts of South Africa, and ultimately two in the then Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, in the middle of the civil war. Everywhere he ministered, he was involved with work among the Chinese communities.
His health suffered, and he moved to Britain. He used both his professions, working in ministry and accountancy in United Reformed Churches. He became a prolific writer, researching deeply the history of missions in China, especially that of his own family for four generations. He has written seven books, and two theses from the story of his boyhood piracy to A History of the Protestant Movement in Shandong Province, China, 1859 to 1951. His research earned him first, an M.Phil degree at the Open University, and then his Ph. D. at Buckingham University, where he was capped by Lady Thatcher.
After the death of Mao Zedong China slowly opened once again to foreigners, and in 1984, the opportunity arose for a Chefoo party to visit the land of our birth. Eighteen Chefusians, and two spouses did the new tourist route, with the special additions of Chefoo and Weihsien. In Nanjing, Norman requested a diversion to the newly opened, single, showpiece, theological seminary. There, Norman asked, "Does anybody here know Fan Peiji?". (I had brought a photograph of the student group at Hangzhou BI). To our amazement the answer came, "Yes, he preached here last Sunday", and then later, "His son is in the next room!". That evening he and I escaped from our minders, making our way by taxi down the back streets of Nanjing. We found Fan Peiji and his wife, and although they spoke no English, and our Chinese was very rusty, we discovered that during our separation he had become Father's right hand man. On twelve visits to China Norman found five of the students in my picture, establishing a network of our Chinese "family", as well as visiting our childhood haunts, and marvelling at China's vibrant, growing church in every corner of that great land.
My son John in Johannesburg has sent me this tribute: "Norman's enthusiasm for God, China, his family and mission history was infectious. Norman threw his energies into writing, travelling to China, staying in touch with his global network, and encouraging everyone he knew to live for Christ. He told me once he would far prefer to be owed than to owe....and in so many ways we are all indebted to Norman for a life given to supporting others."
He leaves two sons and six grandchildren, including the children of his daughter who predeceased him. And dear Joyce, without whose loving care and support, he would never have succeeded in all that he accomplished.

Lucy Elizabeth Collins married William Henry Starr on 25 Mar 1850 in Griggsville, Pike County, IL. She was born on 27 Jul 1828 in Gloucester, MA, the daughter of Captain James Albert and Jane (Stevens) Collins. William was ordained as a minister in the Congregational Church and was a minister in Griggsville prior to going to Elgin, IL. He was born on 27 Apr 1817 in Middletown, CT, and died on 6 Mar 1854 in Elgin.
Lucy was a nurse during the Civil War in St. Louis, In 1863 she was needed as matron of the Soldier's Home at Memphis, TN. In 1870 she was living in Jerseyville, Jersey County, IL, and apparently went to China after that time. There is a large monument in the Griggsville Cemetery which states she was a missinoary to China from 1870 to 1875 "under the auspices of the Womans Missionary Society of the Cong. Church of Griggsville, Ill." The monument also mentions her two marriages.
There is a book called "Woman's Work in the Civil War: A Record of Heroism, Patriotism and Patience" that told of her work during the war.

British missionary (Congregational) ; born in 1835 at Penang, in Straits Settlements (now Malaysia), the child of Samuel Dyer, missionary of the London Missionary Society, and Maria Tarn.
Arrived in China in 1855 and worked in the Ningbo mission as teacher in Mary Ann Aldersey's school for girls.
Letter of Rev. Samuel Dyer to his eldest Daughter [Burella -- age 8] [between 7 Aug - 24 Oct 1843]
"My dear little Lily,- When God made you sick of fever, I thought that perhaps God was going to take you out of my garden, and to put you into his garden above the sky : but as he has made you nearly well again, I think perhaps he will let you stop in my garden a little longer. You know I call my family my garden, and mamma is the rose- the sweetest rose, because she is the sweetest flower in my garden ; Samuel shall be the violet, because I am so very fond of that flower ; you shall be the lily of the valley, because I want you to be humble ; and Maria shall be the cowslip, because that is very useful : my little tulip God has taken, and put into his garden above, because it was a very beautiful flower ; and perhaps if it had stopped longer in my garden, papa and mamma might have been too fond of it. But when God is pleased to take my rose, and my violet, and my lily, and my cowslip, and put them into his garden above the skies, you will there see my little tulip : and you shall all be more sweet, more lovely, more beautiful, more humble, and more useful than while you are in my garden here.
I am very glad God has made you well again ; and I like you to love Jesus more than me.
Your affectionate papa,
Samuel Dyer"

Maria Dyer was the daughter of the late Samuel Dyer (missionary with the London Missionary Society, 1827-1843). She was teaching with her sister, Burella, at the girl's school in Ningpo, conducted by Mary Ann Aldersey. Maria Jane Dyer (1837-1870) and Hudson Taylor were married in 1858, despite Aldersley's opposition. Maria became an invaluable assistant to Taylor. When young women recruits arrived with the Mission she was able to train them in the Chinese vernacular language, Chinese culture and missionary work. The couple had eight children - Grace Dyer (1859-1867); Hubert Hudson (b 1861); Frederick Howard (b 1862, who with his wife Geraldine became the first Mission historians); Samuel Dyer (1864-1870); Jane Dyer (born and died 1865); Maria (b 1867); Charles Edward (Tien pao, b 1868) and Noel (born and died 1870). Maria died shortly after giving birth to their last child in 1870. The four surviving children all became missionaries with the China Inland Mission. She was the "Mother of the Mission" according to Dr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor in the book "Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret".

Quote -- "As to the harsh judgings of the world, or the more painful misunderstandings of Christian brethren, I generally feel that the best plan is to go on with our work and leave God to vindicate our cause." (A.J. Broomhall. Hudson Taylor and China's Open Century, Book Five: Refiner's Fire. London: Hodder and Stoughton and Overseas Missionary Fellowship, 1985, 177.)
"It often comforts me about, the children," -Miss Blatchley wrote [to Hudson], " to remember how much she [Maria] prayed for them. I have seen her at night, when she thought all were sleeping, with head bowed, kneeling for a long, long time on the bare floor. And when I picture her so, I always feel that she was praying most especially for you and the dear children."

Dyer, Samuel, LMS missionary to Malaya and inventor of Chinese metallic type, born Greenwich, England, 20 January 1804, died Macao 24 October 1843. After studying mathematics and law at Cambridge, in 1824 he joined the LMS and married Maria Tarn before leaving for Malaya in 1827. Their daughter Maria later married Hudson Taylor, founder of the China Inland Mission. In Penang, Dyer studied Hokkien and began statistically analysing Chinese characters before developing steel punches and copper matrices. His linguistic abilities, strategic planning and attention to detail resulted in quality fonts of importance in the history of Christian printing in China. The Dyers moved to Melaka in 1835 and returned to England in 1839. He was in Singapore in 1842 and Hong Kong in 1843. As well as articles in the Calcutta Christian Observer, Chinese Repository, and Periodical Miscellany, his publications included Vocabulary of the Hokkien Dialect, (Singapore, 1838).

How few are those who live for souls as worldly men live for riches, from year end to year end, first thing in the morning, last thing at night, every obstacle made to give way by persevering effort. . . .

Minister Of Gospel Unattached Hon Director E London Missy Institute
Dr. Henry Grattan Guinness, D.D., F.R.A.S.
In the nineteenth century, appeared one H. Grattan Guinness, who became England's greatest prophet. He was born August 11, 1835, in Dublin. He was early impressed by the Gospel, led to it by his saintly mother, Jane. Henry began preaching in 1855, but he was bitterly persecuted by the Church of Rome. He wrote, "One priest threatened that I should be treated like Mr. Sprong, who had been shot at two months previously."
By 1858, Henry had become a powerful preacher. The Daily Express wrote:-- "Mr. Guinness preached yesterday in York Street Chapel. The attendance was greater than on any former occasion. In the evening it amounted to 1600, and if there were a place large enough, five times the number would have been present, to hear this highly gifted preacher. The interest which he has excited has daily increased and probably will continue to do so, during his labors in Dublin. An enormous crowd pressed for admittance. Judges, members of Parliament, orators, Fellows of College, lights of the various professions, the rank and fashion of the metropolis have been drawn out. Among them the Lord Lieutenant, the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Justice of Appeal, etc.
He wrote in his diary, "I do now most heartily desire to live but to exalt Jesus; to live preaching and to die preaching; to preach to perishing sinners till I drop down dead." He was the great evangelist in England in the middle of the 19th Century.
Not only did Dr. Guinness evangelize in Ireland, Wales and England, but he also spent several years in mission work in France, for his heart was always burning for mission work. He made a special trip to Spain where he stood breast deep in the ashes of the Spanish martyrs, in the Quemadero-Burning-place.
In March, 1872 Henry and wife Fanny, started the famous Missionary Institute in East London, with just six students. The renowned Dr. Barnardo was co-director with Dr. Guinness.
By the end of three years, more than 100 students were in training. All who were accepted for training, were definitely pledged for Foreign Mission work. The first place in which the Institute started soon became too small, so Harley House, Bow, was taken and enlarged and the College built, and Cliff College, Derbyshire, was opened. Mission Halls in East London were used and open-air preaching carried on by the students. In 14 years 500 students had been received and were in training.
Author, Michele Guinness is married to Rev. Peter Grattan Guinness, Henry Grattan's grandson. Dr. Os Guinness is Henry Grattan's great-grandson.

Dr. Os Guinness was born during World War II in China. At that time China was experiencing a civil war between their Nationalist and Communist parties, and was also at war with Japan.
Wartime brought with it a famine in which five million people died in one winter. Among the dead were his younger and older brothers, ages 5 and 1. By time Guinness reached age 9, he was living through the reign of terror that followed the Chinese revolution.
At 10, with his Christian medical missionary parents under house arrest in China, he was sent to boarding school in England where he was safe but away from the Christian home environment his parents would have provided.
Dr. Os Guinness is a writer and speaker living in Northern Virginia.
Dr. Os Guinness is Senior Fellow at the Trinity Forum in McLean, VA--a seminar-style forum for senior executives and political leaders that engages the leading ideas of our day in the context of faith
Born in China where his parents were medical missionaries, he remained there until 1951 when forced to leave by the communists. Educated in England, he did undergraduate studies at the University of London, and postgraduate studies at University of Oxford where he graduated with a D.Phil in the social sciences from Oriel College.
Since 1984, he has lived in the Washington, DC area, where he was a Guest Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Studies and at the Brookings Institution. From 1986-89 Dr. Guinness was the Executive Director of the Williamsburg Charter Foundation and one othe drafters of the Williamsburg Charter. Os Guinness has written or edited more than 12 books with his latest appearing this year titled Time for Truth: Living Free in a World of Lies, Hype, and Spin.
His first book, The Dust Of Death (1973, revised 1994), is a critique of counterculture. His second, In Two Minds (1975) was recently rewritten as God in the Dark: The Assurance of Faith Beyond a Shadow of Doubt (Crossway, 1996). His third book, The Gravedigger File (1983), is an examination of the social and cultural forces shaping religion in the late twentieth century. He is the co-editor of Articles of Faith, Articles of Peace (1990) and No Good But God: Breaking With the Idols of Our Age (Moody Press, 1992). One of his recent books is The American Hour, an analysis of the United States toward the close of the American Century, published by the Free Press in October 1992. He is also the author of Dining with the Devil: The Megachurch Movement Flirts with Modernity (Baker, 1993) and Fit Bodies, Fat Minds: Why Evangelicals Donõt Think and What to Do About It (Baker, 1994). His current book is The Call (Word, 1998).

Dixon Hoste lived the longest of "The Cambridge Seven." Hoste was a faithful man of prayer and in 1903, he succeeded Hudson Taylor as the Director of the China Inland Mission. For thirty years, he led the Mission, which made great advances, reaching many with the Gospel until he retired in 1935. But he remained in China until 1945, when he was interned by the Japanese. He died in London, in May 1946, the last of "The Cambridge Seven" to die.
D. E. Hoste, A Prince with God by Phyllis Thompson, London, China Inland Mission
Dixon Edward Hoste, British missionary (male); born 23 July 1861 (he was baptized on 30 September 1861 in Saint Michael's Church, Aldershot, Hampshire), the child of Dixon Edward Hoste, major general in the Royal Artillery, and Mrs. Mary Hoste. His grandfather Col. Sir George Hoste, CB, was at one time Gentleman Usher to Queen Victoria. The family motto was "Fortitudine".
Dixon Hoste was educated at Clifton College; in 1878 he entered the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich. Having completed his training there, he became a lieutenant in 1882. His brother William had been converted in the D. L. Moody mission at Cambridge. He pressed Dixon to attend Moody's mission in Brighton, and he in turn was converted there in 1882. In 1883 Hoste approached Hudson Taylor to serve in China, and on 7 October 1884 was accepted by the CIM Council in London; consequently, he resigned his commission in the Royal Artillery.
On 5 February 1885 he went with the "Cambridge Seven" to China, though he himself was not a Cambridge graduate. In 1886 Dixon Hoste joined Stanley Peregrine Smith and Xi Shengmo (Pastor Hsi, a converted Confucian scholar and former opium addict) in the latter's work of establishing opium refuges and small churches scattered over the Pingyang plain in Shanxi province. At a single convention in 1887 no less than 216 converts were baptized. When Smith moved on to commence work in Lu'an (now Changzhi), Xi Shengmo and Dixon Hoste continued to work together. Hoste was determined to apply the indigenous principles of self-government, self-support, and self-propagation. He worked under Xi, wore Chinese clothes, ate Chinese food, and tried to get an insight into the Chinese mind. They established 20 churches and ordained 4 pastors. The work based in Hongdong, Shanxi, was from the start largely self-supported. Following leave in Australia to recover his health in 1896, he became superintendent of the CIM work in Henan province.
During the Boxer Uprising Hoste was called to Shanghai to help John Stevenson give counceling and comfort to refugee missionaries arriving at the coast after traumatic experiences in the interior, and in many cases having lost family members. After the Uprising the Governor of Shanxi, knowing of Hoste's good judgement, asked him to return to the province to help resolve the raparation and compensation problems there. At the conference with Chinese officials Hoste insisted that the Chinese Christians be given full compensation. He then drew up a full list of losses sustained by the CIM and their estimated value, and to the surprise of Chinese officials announced that no payment would be accepted. This greatly impressed the Chinese negotiators, who saw in this the application of the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Hudson Taylor, Hoste's uncle by marriage, while recuperating in Switzerland from poor health, appointed him in 1901 to be Acting General Director of the mission. The following year Taylor made him General Director. Hoste held this position in Shanghai for 33 years. In 1931 Hoste launched a Forward Movement, appealing for 200 new recruits to advance into new areas. He retired as General Director in 1935, aged 74.
When in 1943 all "enemy nationals" went into Japanese internment camps, the aged and the sick were initially exempted. Dixon and Gertrude Hoste stayed in a missionary home in Tifeng Road, Shanghai. Gertrude died there on 12 April 1944. Then the Japanese withdrew these exemptions, and Hoste, confused and frail, went into the Lincoln Avenue Camp, especially opened for the sick and the aged. Here in a small room he gave himself to prayer.
When Japan surrendered in August 1945, Dixon Hoste was carried on board the Oxfordshire, 60 years after his first arrival in China, and taken to Britain.
He died on 11 May 1946 at Mildmay Nursing Home, London, England, aged 84.
He married Amelia Gertrude Broomhall (born 18 June 1861; died 12 April 1944) in Tianjin on 6 September 1894.

Charles Henry Judd, British missionary (male), was christened at All Saints, Loughborough, Leicestershire, England, on 26 July 1842, the son of Robert Judd and (Mrs.) Jane Judd.
Originally a bank clerk from Loughborough, he became a student at the Church Missionary Training College at Islington, London, preparing to join the CMS. However, he felt uncomfortable with infant baptism. He had attended meetings at Welbeck Street and knew the CMS missionary Frederick Gough. After the Lammermuir party had sailed for China, Judd became aware of the writings of Grattan Guinness, and at Gough's home in Bow, east London, met Thomas J. Barnardo. As a consequence, he became aware of J. Hudson Taylor's mission and left the CMS training institute. For about one year he lived with W. T. Berger at Saint Hill, near East Grinstead, Sussex, as a tutor in English. Having married in October 1867, Judd left for China with Mrs. Ann Bohannan, the Cardwells, and Edward Fishe. The party arrived in China on 3 March 1868.
In 1868 Judd was assigned to Yangzhou, Jiangsu; in 1869 to Zhenjiang, Jiangsu. He went to England on furlough in 1872 and returned in 1873. In 1874 he was at Wuchang, Hubei, with J. Hudson Taylor.

Broumton through Hunan province to Guiyang, Guizhou, where the British adventurer William Mesny had facilitated the introduction of Christianity. While Broumton remained at Guiyang, Judd returned to Wuchang via Chongqing, Sichuan. In 1879 Judd established himself at Yantai [or Chefoo], Shandong, before the CIM school and sanatorium were established there.
Judd is recorded to have left China again between 1885 and May 1887. He left again in May 1894, with no date recorded of his return.
Judd died in London, England, on 23 October 1919.

Here is a brief bio on my father: Karl Grattan Guinness Kumm. Fa, H. Karl Wilhelm Frederick Kumm, and Mo. Lucy Evangeline Guinness. He was born 31 May 1902 in Buxton England. In 1915 he came to the United States, most specifically to Summit, Union County, New Jersey and attended and graduated from Summit High School around spring of 1920. He was admitted to Haverford College in 1920 and graduated with a major of History in 1925. He got two letters at college in sports, football and track. He then went to an Episcopal seminary, General Theological Seminary, in the Chelsea District of New York City from 1925 to 1928 where he was awarded a master's degree. He met my mother on a voyage from New York City through the Panama Canal to Los Angeles around 1927. He was married in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, accepted an appointment as a curate in church in Summit New Jersey and began work on a second MA in history from Columbia University with some course work at Teacher's College, Columbia University. He became the minister of the mission station, St. Paul's Church in Morris Plains, Morris County, New Jersey for a few years, where I was born. He returned to being a curate at St. Andrews Church, South Orange, New Jersey; then was the minister of the assisted mission St. Mary Magdalen in Newark, New Jersey until Spring of 1942.
He joined the United States Army as a chaplain, was briefly trained at Turner Field, near Albany, Georgia in the summer of 1942, and then shipped from Fort Hamilton, New York to North Ireland late in August of 1942. He was assigned as a chaplain to the 109th Medical Battalion of the 34th Division and served with them as a lieutenant from 1942 to 1945. That unit fought in North Africa in Algeria and Tunisia, was involved with heavy losses at Hill 609 and the Kasairean (Sp.) Pass, invasion of Italy at Salerno, capture of Naples, Monte Cassino, and Anzio Beach head invasion. In Northern Italy, it fought at Bologna, freed Leghorn, occupied Florence and ended up capturing over hundred thousand POWs in the Po River Campaign. He was proud of his service to our country, hated fascism and the racism of Hitler and the Nazi and believed in our democracy. He did served more than 365 days in combat and claimed he may have served more days under fire than any other chaplain in the European Theater of Combat. He continued to serve as an active reserve officer and retired from the Army with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
When he returned to the United States, he was first assigned to and then mustered out of the service at Fort Sheridan, Highland Park, Illinois in the fall of 1945. He returned to the Diocese of Newark, New Jersey and was first the Vicar and then minister at St. Paul's Church, Chatham, Morris County, New Jersey. He served his last years in the ministry at Church Hill, Maryland on the Eastern Shore. He retired to his summer house at Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey and died in 1979 at the Evergreens, a church retirement home in Moorestown,Burlington County, New Jersey.

A Diary Entry while in China (From the Memoir of Lucy T. Lord, Philadelphia 1854)
"On the last Sabbath in June, we were permitted to receive two native members into our little church. We now number nine -- six missionaries and three natives. Perhaps I have not mentioned that one native member died last fall. It is less than three years since our church was organized, since which time we have received by baptism four native converts. This may seem to you to be making slow progress. In one sense it does seem slow and discouraging. But to us, who begin to see what heathenism is, and what mighty obstacles are here to be overcome, the conversion of one soul is a matter of great rejoicing. Our native assistant has just buried his wife. There is some reason to hope that she was a true believer in Jesus, though she was not reckoned among his people." (p. 241)

During a time of rebel occupation and expulsion: "I have just got up from my knees. I have been weeping at the feet of Jesus because I cannot learn the dialect quick enough. Tens of thousands of souls are perishing all around me, and I cannot tell them about the Saviour."
James J. Meadows, British missionary (male), was born on 1 September 1835. He was a Norfolk man who was 'converted' at Perth, Scotland. He later lived at Barnsley, Yorkshire. He was J. Hudson Taylor's first recruit and went to China as an unconnected missionary, arriving at Shanghai on 24 May 1862, three years prior to the founding of the China Inland Mission. Meadows was away from China on furlough between 1871 and 1874, and between May 1895 and November 1896.

"I could put up with anything, could I but tell (the Chinese) of a Saviour's love."
William David Rudland, British missionary (male), was christened on 23 February 1840 at Harston, Cambridgeshire, England, the son of William Rudland and Abigail Newman. A blacksmith and farm mechanic, he was accepted by the newly established China Inland Mission. He was in the first group of CIM missionaries to travel to China in the Lammermuir in 1866. The group arrived in China on 30 September 1866.
After an initial stay at Hangzhou, Zhejiang, the newly married Rudland was assigned to Yangzhou, Jiangsu. Having been caught up in the Yangzhou riot of 1868, he was subsequently based for many years at Taizhou, Zhejiang. There he translated (adopted) the Taizhou vernacular romanized New Testament.

"I felt that the mission must succeed with such an amount of real waiting upon God."
Ning, a scholarly Chinese gentleman, remarked, "Here is a foreigner, a perfect stranger to me, yet so concerned about my welfare that he will pray for me though I do not so much as pray for myself."
John Stevenson and Henry Soltau walked from Burma (Bahmo) to the Yangtze again surveying the people and their receptivity to the gospel. Every where they found a deep hungering and thirsting after the truth.

St. Margaret's Primary School: the oldest educational institution for girls in Singapore and the Far East. The school was founded in 1842 when God's love overflowed the heart of Mrs. Maria Dyer, a missionary from the London Missionary Society. It caused her to bravely stand up for a pitiful group of young orphan girls from China, who were being sold as slaves in the "mui tsai" trade (Girls sold in servitude)
With permission from the government, a home for homeless girls regardless of race was started in North Bridge Road. The girls were taught the Christian faith and were given an elementary education in English. They were also taught how to become good homemakers. The school became known and was so highly reputed for its effective character building that many young men wrote to the school in search of suitable wives
In 1861, the orphanage cum school moved to 134 Sophia Road, the present site. Until today 159 years later, the girls who pass through the portals of the school are still being educated, nurtured and cared for. They are given a well-balanced education developing each girl in body, soul and spirit, trained in righteousness to become a woman of God, equipped for every good work and to be a blessing to the family, community, nation and beyond.
The school was originally named the Chinese Girls' School but in 1900, the Church of England Zenana Missionary Society took over the management of the school and the school took the name of CEZMS School (Church of England Zenana (Hindi word meaning; Women) Missionary Society school. After World War II, Bishop Wilson renamed the school, St. Margaret's School, after Queen Margaret of Scotland, whose qualities of charity (love); patience and devotion are reflected in the school motto.

"Clement Taylor played an important part in Robert Felgate's tragedy. He was a young man who spoke fluent Chinese and was familiar with Chinese people and their ways; from his comments, he liked them and viewed their lot sympathetically. We are not given his age in any of the documents that have come down to us. However, he was old enough to take on considerable responsibility, to observe the scene of Robert's murder dispassionately, to be familiar with guns, and to return later to Mokanshan in order to assist the British consul in his investigations. On the other hand, when the Taylor party met up with an American missionary on their way down the mountain, Mrs Taylor was only too thankful to turn to him for help. My guess, therefore, is that in 1912 Clement Taylor was in his teens.
Whatever his age, Clement comes across as an impressive person. His mother relied on him heavily during the crisis of Robert Felgate's killing. He was an intelligent, observant and level-headed boy, and his statement to Consul Savage is clear and concise, and provides important details.
His mother, on the other hand, found the events of the 6-7 January extremely trying. Her first move was to send Clement and his sister to investigate the events next door, and it was some time before she went there herself. Her deposition to Consul Savage is somewhat disjointed, and gives the impression that she was in a state of severe shock; it contrasts with her son's, which is lucid and informative. Consul Savage was fortunate in having Clement Gray Taylor as a witness.
Whether Robert celebrated Christmas with the Taylor family is not known, but he certainly spoke to them during the holiday. Clement Taylor said that on the evening of Saturday, 6 January, the day Robert was killed, the Taylors went to his house to hand over a letter, presumably for the post bag. While they were at the house a man came along wanting to see Robert. Clement didn't know who it was, and he continued:
He [Robert] said: "Who is it?" and when he saw who it was he said:
"I am going to have a row with that joker. He thinks he is going to get money out of me but he isn't."
The Taylors did not hear any more but said 'Good night' and left. The next day, Clement added, the same man ran after them and spoke to them about Robert Felgate, a rather involved story concerning some money which was owing to him for work he had done. The man was Carpenter Li."
"
Perhaps Herbert Hudson Taylor spent Christmas at Mokanshan with his wife and their children; but if he did, then his duties called him back to his station, and he left his family at Brayside to continue their holiday while he returned to the neighbouring province of Anhui. Only Mrs Taylor and her children were at Mokanshan on the night Robert was murdered.
Clement Taylor gave lucid account of what followed.
About half past four on Sunday morning he was woken by men talking excitedly outside his bedroom window. Clement, who spoke Chinese fluently, sat up when he heard the phrase, 'big foreign guns'.
His sister, too, was woken by the talking outside their house. She was alarmed and went to speak to their mother. Something serious was happening. The Taylors had brought their own servants with them from Anhui, and Mrs Taylor immediately sent for her cook and told him to find out what the noise was about.
Gathered outside the Taylors' house were some of Robert Felgate's workmen from Upper Wang, a village further down the mountain. In a state of great excitement they told Mrs Taylor's cook that Mr Felgate's house had been broken into and ransacked. Mr Felgate himself was nowhere to be found.
Mrs Taylor became thoroughly alarmed when her cook reported back to her. She told Clement and his sister to get dressed. They must go down to Robert's house, she said, and find out what had happened.
The two young people set out with some of their Anhui people, carrying lanterns to light their way. To their surprise when they neared the house they discovered a trail of bedding strewn along the road. Near the porch they came across another large bundle of bedclothes. Clement and his sister entered the house in the company of their cook to find a scene of dreadful disorder.
They called out, 'Mr Felgate', and when there was no reply they ran up to the bedroom floor. All the way up the stairs they found burnt-out twists of paper with which the intruders had lighted their way. Robert's bedroom had been turned upside down, as had all the other rooms upstairs, even the attic: boxes and cupboards and chests of drawers had been broken open in every room. Lamps were still burning, some on the floor near the cupboards. Robert's guns were missing.
Clement and his sister went back downstairs, and as they were leaving the house one of the men kicked the bundle of bedding lying beside the porch. He exclaimed, 'There's someone underneath it.'
Clement, a resolute young man, examined the bundle. When he removed the black cloth wrapped round the face, he discovered Robert Felgate, his head covered in blood. A candle-stick was lying by his foot.
Brother and sister ran back to Brayside. When they told their mother what they had found, she asked one of her men to call Robert's servants. The man was afraid to go down to the house, however, and so Clement said he would go with him. His mother was horrified at the idea that Mr Felgate might have been killed, and she asked Clement to make sure while he was there that Robert was really dead.
When he got to the house, Clement found two of Robert's three servants fast asleep in their quarters a mere thirty yards away. They said they had heard nothing and knew nothing about any robbery. It was then about half past five in the morning, and Robert's cook had just gone to the house. He, too, denied any knowledge of the robbery. He said he had gone up at the usual time to light the kitchen fire, and it was not until then that he became aware of the break-in.
Once again Clement returned to Brayside. He was able to tell his mother that he had looked carefully at Robert's body. He saw that there was a great deal of blood and four large cuts on the head. Blue marks were already showing on the body, and he was in no doubt that Robert was dead.
Mrs Taylor decided that they must all leave Mokanshan as soon as possible, taking Robert's body with them. It could not be left to lie outside his house, but must be brought down the mountain to where it could be given a Christian burial. She knew, too, that the authorities must be notified.
It must have been a dreadful day for her, frantically packing up, reassuring the younger children, and calming her servants.
She had also to deal as best she could with the terrified Mokanshan men, for she needed chairmen and porters to carry, not only their luggage, but also the body of the murdered foreigner. She failed utterly in her attempts to persuade them. Not one of the Mokanshan men would come to her assistance. Murder was a terrible event, imbued with ghostly repercussions and anyone who carried the dead body obviously put himself into the power of malevolent spirits. If anyone were foolhardy enough to brave the supernatural he also, of course, faced the brutal wrath of the robbers.
In the end she turned to her own men from Anhui. It says a great deal about their loyalty to the Hudson Taylors that they agreed to carry the body down the mountain to the launch stage on the Grand Canal."
"Early the next day a forlorn procession set off from the resort. Mrs Jeannie Hudson Taylor, Clement, his sister, the younger children were in carrying chairs, while their Anhui servants carried Robert Felgate's body. Three Chinese witnesses accompanied them - Robert's cook, and two of the men from Upper Wang. The journey must have been a nightmare for everyone. The whole party, children as well as adults, was conscious of the burden they carried with them.
Mrs Hudson Taylor found the journey particularly trying, and she was greatly relieved when the party encountered an American missionary, Mr R Leighton Stewart, at a rest house on the way.
Mrs Hudson Taylor appealed to him at once.
Mr Leighton Stewart was in no doubt as to what should be done. The body must be taken to the British consulate at Hangchow. The consul would then set the right wheels in motion. More than that, Mr Leighton Stewart offered to escort them there. Mrs Hudson Taylor was only too grateful to let him take charge, and from that point on he made all the arrangements, paying off the chairmen, getting the party and the body onto the steam launch and, when they reached Hangchow some three hours later, arranging transportation to the British consulate.
They arrived at the Consulate about midday. The consul, Mr Victor Savage, at once took charge. Depositions were taken, the Chinese witnesses interviewed, telegrams despatched, and the Taylors refreshed and comforted.
The Taylors remained in Hangchow for several days, and on 11 January Clement Taylor returned to Mokanshan with the official party to go over the events with Consul Savage and the Chinese officials. Thereafter Mrs Jeannie Hudson Taylor, her children and her loyal Anhui men leave the story, most likely to depart for their home at Kung Te Chou, grieving at the dreadful end to what had begun as a happy Christmas holiday.
It is a remarkable and comforting fact that in the end Robert was returned to his own people by the family of the great man who had originally inspired him to come to China."

Herbert Hudson Taylor, was Hudson and Maria's eldest son. At five he sailed aboard the Lammermuir with the first group of missionaries from the China Inland Mission. At seven, he and the entire family nearly lost their lives in the Yangzhou Riot. Then at 10, back in Britain for schooling, the news of his mother's death in China reached him.
Stationed at Kuang Te Chou in the province of Anhui in 1912.
Missionary with the China Inland Mission.
At 20, Herbert Taylor gave up medical studies to help set up the first-ever school for missionary children in Chefoo, China. He and Jeanie Gray, were to serve for 50 years in inland China. He was 80 when Pearl Harbour was attacked and he was interned with the whole of the Chefoo Schools for three years. In the concentration camp, early each morning, he would sing, `Courage, brother, do not stumble; though the path be dark as night. There's a star to guide the humble, trust in God and do the right.'
Courage, brother, do not stumble,
Though thy path be dark as night;
There's a star to guide the humble:
Trust in God and do the right.
Let the road be rough and dreary,
And its end far out of sight,
Foot it bravely; strong or weary,
Refrain
Trust in God, trust in God,
Trust in God and do the right.
Perish policy and cunning,
Perish all that fears the light!
Whether losing, whether winning,
Trust in God and do the right,
Trust no party, sect or faction;
Trust no leaders in the fight;
Put in every word or action,
Refrain
Some will hate thee, some will love thee,
Some will flatter, some will slight;
Cease from man, and look above thee:
Trust in God and do the right.
Simple rule, and safest guiding,
Inward peace and inward might,
Star upon our path abiding,
Refrain

James was a pharmacist and local methodist preacher.
James Taylor was intrigued by all things Chinese. It fascinated him that once-famous empires, like those in Persia, Greece, and Rome, had risen and fallen, but the Chinese Empire remained---the world's greatest monument to ancient times. In the early months of 1832, he knelt beside his 24-year-old wife, Amelia, in the parlor at the back of his busy chemist shop in Barnsley, Yorkshire, England. "Dear God," he prayed, "if you should give us a son, grant that he may work for you in China."
When their child was born on May 21, 1832, James and Amelia called him James Hudson Taylor---Hudson was his mother's maiden name. Immersed in a Methodist family fascinated with China, the young Hudson sometimes blurted out, "When I am a man, I mean to be a missionary and go to China"---though his parents were not to tell him of their prayer for some years.
Quote: "He cannot deny Himself, He would not be God if He could." (A.J. Broomhall. Hudson Taylor and China's Open Century, Book One: Barbarians at the Gates. London: Hodder and Stoughton and Overseas Missionary Fellowship, 1981, 287.)

The first James Taylor (1749-1795), a contemporary of John Wesley, lived in Barnsley, in the north of England. He wasn`t a Christian, and couldn`t have cared less about spiritual things, except perhaps in one sense. Whenever Wesley or one of his circuit riders came to town, James Taylor would be there, pockets bulging with rotten eggs or tomatoes, determined to disrupt the meeting.
But one day as the young stonemason stood on the outskirts of the gathering crowd to listen to a circuit rider, the word of the Lord struck home: "But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." (Joshua 24:15) I don`t know whether he threw any eggs that day, but I do know an arrow from God`s word had hit its mark.
Soon came his wedding day. It was February 1, 1776. Early that morning James slipped out into the fields away from the house to give careful thought to the occasion. As he pondered the step he was about to take, the words of Joshua 24:15 flashed into his mind. He thought, I don`t care to think about that. I want to think about my bride, Betty, and about today`s big event. "But as for me and my house...we will serve the Lord." The words echoed on.
There in the fields on his wedding day, he knelt in deep conviction and repentance and asked Jesus Christ to be his Savior. When he looked up, James realized it was time for the wedding. Dashing back to the house, he hurriedly dressed and ran to the church. Friends adjusted the hands of the clock so that he arrived right on time!
The wedding proceeded. At the reception which followed, James stunned his friends by recounting what had happened in the field that morning. He had received Christ as his personal Savior. Probably the one most shocked was his new bride. Have I married one of John Wesley`s circuit riders? Elizabeth Johnson thought in dismay. But it was too late!
Back in their new home, James Taylor began to pray and ask the Lord to repeat in his bride`s heart the work he had so graciously done in his. But the more he prayed, the harder her heart became, and the stronger her resistance. Finally, one day when he came home from work, his heart was so burdened for his bride`s conversion that he literally took matters into his own hands. Picking her up, James carried Betty to the bedroom where he forced her to kneel at the bedside. Then kneeling beside her and with tears coursing down his cheeks, he began to pray and ask the Lord to save her. After a few moments, he discovered that she, too, was crying and praying. When they arose from their knees, they were united in one determination: "We will serve the Lord."
As Lydia welcomed Paul and his colleagues to stay in her home, soon James and Elizabeth`s home became a place where Wesley and his circuit riders stayed during their frequent visits to Barnsley. Little did James and Elizabeth realize the importance of their decision for themselves and for generations to come.

James Hudson Taylor: Founder of the China Inland Mission; born at Barnsley (18 miles south. of Leeds), Yorkshire, England, May 21, 1832; died at Changsha (340 miles north of Canton), China, June 3, 1905. His father was an eloquent and able Methodist local preacher and his mother a woman of more than ordinary sweet and patient spirit. Hudson Taylor combined the ability of his father with the gentle disposition of his mother. He was converted through the reading of a tract at the age of fifteen, and not long afterward passed through a remarkable experience, at which time he dedicated himself to God for whatever service might be appointed. Unknown to himself, his father, who had been deeply interested in China, had prayed that his son might go to that land as a missionary, and very early, through the reading of Walter Henry Medhurst's China (London, 1838), the thoughts of young Taylor were directed to that country.
With a view to preparing himself for his lifework, he engaged as assistant to a physician at Hull, and subsequently studied medicine at the London Hospital. The great interest awakened in China through the Taiping Rebellion, which was then erroneously supposed to be a mass movement toward Christianity, together with the glowing but exaggerated reports made by Karl Friedrich August Gützlaff concerning China's accessibility, led to the founding of the China Evangelization Society, to the service of which Hudson Taylor offered himself and on September 19, 1853, he sailed for China before the completion of his medical studies. The six years from 1854 to 1860 were spent in Shanghai, Swatow, and Ningpo, working sometimes in company with older missionaries of other societies and especially with William Chalmers Bums of the English Presbyterian Mission. During this period he retired from the China Evangelization Society, which subsequently ceased to exist, and continued as an independent worker, trusting God to supply his need. His experiences of God's faithfulness in meeting his own personal needs and the needs of a hospital at Ningpo, of which he had taken charge, had much to do with the subsequent step of founding the China Inland Mission. While at Ningpo he married Miss Maria Dyer, daughter of the Rev. Samuel Dyer of the London Missionary Society. Of the children born by this marriage, three survive their father's decease, and two are today missionaries in China.
Invalided home in 1860, he spent the next five years in England, and, in company with the Rev. Frederick Foster Gough of the Church Missionary Society, completed the revision of a version of the New Testament in the colloquial of Ningpo for the British and Foreign Bible Society, and also finished his medical course. To arouse interest in the great Middle Kingdom he published a book entitled China, its Spiritual Need and Claims (London, 1865, 8th ed., 1890), which has been much used in calling forth sympathy for China and volunteers for the field, who began to go out in 1862, the first being James J. Meadows. In 1865, at Brighton, Taylor definitely dedicated himself to God for the founding of a new society to undertake the evangelization of inland China. In May, 1866, he, with his wife and children and a party of sixteen missionaries, sailed for China. Thus was definitely launched that organization which, on January 1, 1911, had 968 missionaries (including wives) connected with it, and in the support of which more than Lb1,471,000 had been contributed in answer to prayer and without public or private solicitation of funds. From the founding of the mission in 1865 Taylor's time became more and more occupied as general director of a growing work. His duties necessitated extensive journeys in China and frequent visits to the home country. In 1888 a wider ministry was commenced through the formation of a home centre in North America. This arose through Taylor's presence at the Northfield Convention. Two years later another centre was founded in Australasia. Various visits to the continent of Europe led to the inception of associate missions, which recognized Taylor as their general director on the field. In January, 1911, these associate missions had 216 workers on the field.
The constant pressure and increasing strain inseparable from such a work frequently threatened a serious breakdown; but Taylor, though far from strong as a child, manifested remarkable recuperative powers. In 1900, however, at the New York Conference, the first serious signs of failing health began to manifest themselves. Having already associated Dixon Edward Hoste with himself in the directorate of the mission, he slowly resigned his great responsibilities, still seeking to assist the work as consulting director while living quietly in retirement in Switzerland. His second wife (née Faulding), to whom he had been married in 1871, and by whom he had two children, died in the summer of 1904. Early in 1905 Taylor determined, though extremely feeble, to pay another visit to China. After visiting various centers he reached Changsha, the capital of the previously anti-foreign province of Hunan, where he suddenly and peacefully passed from his labours. His remains were interred at Chinkiang, by the side of his first wife and those of his children who had died in China.
As a Bible student Taylor was unique. Holding firmly to the plenary inspiration of the Scriptures and putting them to daily test in his life and work, he became a most helpful and remarkable expositor, his Bible readings being greatly appreciated at the various conventions held in Europe and North America. As a leader of men and careful organizer he had pre-eminent gifts. Being convinced of his duty, every detail was carefully thought out and arranged for, and then no subsequent difficulty or opposition was allowed to daunt him. Gifted with the power to command sleep whenever needed, he laboured night and day, resting only when exhausted nature compelled him, No day, however, was entered upon without a period of quiet prayer and Bible study. James Hudson Taylor was, to quote the pregnant words of Prof. Gustav Warneck, "A man full of the Holy Ghost and of faith, of entire surrender to God and his call, of great self-denial, heart-felt compassion, rare power in prayer, marvellous organizing faculty, energetic initiative, indefatigable perseverance, and of astonishing influence with men, and withal of child-like humility." Taylor was the author of: Union and Communion (London, 1893); A Retrospect (1894); Separation and Service (1898); and A Ribband of Blue, and other Bible Studies (1899). Marshall Broomhall.

Administrative/Biographical history: James Hudson Taylor was born in Barnsley, North Yorkshire, on 21 May 1832. His family were enthusiastic Methodists, but Taylor became sceptical at an early age. However, at the age of 17 he was converted again to evangelical Christianity and decided to give his life to missionary work in China. Medical missionaries were urgently needed at that time and he underwent a form of medical apprenticeship in Hull and London under the guidance of the Chinese Evangelization Society, before leaving for south-east China as their representative in 1853, where he remained initially until 1860.
Taylor was based initially at Shanghai. On his move to Ningpo around 1857, he met Maria and Burella Dyer, daughters of the late Samuel Dyer (missionary with the London Missionary Society, 1827-1843). Both girls were teaching at the girl's school in Ningpo, conducted by Mary Ann Aldersey. Maria Jane Dyer (1837-1870) and Taylor were married in 1858, despite Aldersley's opposition. Maria became an invaluable assistant to Taylor. When young women recruits arrived with the Mission she was able to train them in the Chinese vernacular language, Chinese culture and missionary work. The couple had eight children - Grace Dyer (1859-1867); Hubert Hudson (b 1861); Frederick Howard (b 1862, who with his wife Geraldine became the first Mission historians); Samuel Dyer (1864-1870); Jane Dyer (born and died 1865); Maria (b 1867); Charles Edward (Tien pao, b 1868) and Noel (born and died 1870). Maria died shortly after giving birth to their last child in 1870. The four surviving children all became missionaries with the China Inland Mission.
In 1860, Taylor left the Chinese Evangelization Society and returned to England. He had an increasing concern for Chinese living in provinces untouched by missionary work. He expressed his growing vision in China's Spiritual Need and Claims, 1865. That same year, with limited financial resources, he founded the China Inland Mission, together with William Thomas Berger. The first party of missionaries left for China on the Lammermuir in 1866. Taylor became General Director of the Mission, based in the mission field. He also spent a great deal of time travelling to other countries to make China's needs known and to recruit new missionaries.
In 1871, he married Jenny Faulding (1843-1904), one of the original China Inland Mission party aboard the Lammermuir in 1866. She wholly supported Taylor in his work. In 1878, when he was obliged for administrative reasons to remain in England, she returned to China alone to lead other women in relief work in the severe Shanxi famine of 1877-1878. She was the first woman to travel deep into the interior, and her success strengthened Taylor's case for appointing women in pioneering roles. They had two surviving children, Ernest (b 1875) and Amy (b 1876). She continued to travel with her husband into their old age. She died of cancer in Switzerland, a year before Taylor's own death.
Taylor was made a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society in 1864. He played a prominent part at the General Missionary Conferences in Shanghai in 1877 and 1890. He retired from administration of the China Inland Mission in 1901, officially resigning in favour of D E Hoste in 1903. He died in Changsha, Hunan, in 1905 and was buried in Chen-chiang, Kiangsu.

James Hudson Taylor II grew up in China. He was the twin brother of Isabella (Taylor) Robertson
Missionary to China with the Free Methodist Mission.
Holy Light Theological Seminary was founded by James Hudson Taylor II the grandson of the great Chinese Inland Mission founder James Hudson Taylor the First. In 1920, James Hudson Taylor II founded a Bible Seminary in Honan Province, China. Then after moving to Taiwan, he founded this seminary in 1955, now called Holy Light Theological Seminary. In 1964, his son James Hudson Taylor III took over as president.
The Japanese invasion of China was directly responsible for the formation of the Northwest Bible Institute. James Hudson Taylor II (the grandson of the world-famous pioneer) and his wife Alice were forced to leave their mission field in Henan Province due to the continual bombing of enemy aircraft. They traveled westward into Shaanxi Province, where they had the vision to establish a Bible school. They had no land to commence the work, but much prayer was undertaken for God's provision. The prayer was answered. The China Inland Mission offered their premises near the city of Fengxiang. The first year just eight students came for a three month course. James H. Taylor II was appointed the Principal of the school, and Pastor Mark Ma later became the Vice-Principal.

"Dai Cun-ai"
Missionary with the China Inland Mission 1885-1897
A quote from Separation and Service by her father:
"My little daughter, then about five years old, came to me on the morning of my birthday with a curious little birthday gift in her hand. "Papa, I haven't bought you a birthday present," said she, "I thought you would rather have something I made myself." How my heart went out to the little darling, and how glad I was that she should think that something she could make would be more precious to me than any purchased gift! But what the curious little gift could be intended for I was quite at a loss to divine, and I engaged her in conversation, hoping she might let some clue slip that would help me to find out for what she meant it, for I feared she would be disappointed if I did not recognize it. The little pet had found a small piece of wood, and had bored a hole in it with her scissors, in which she had inserted a peg, and on the top had hung half a cockle-shell---certainly an uncommon birthday present!
At last, unable to guess what it was supposed to be, I took my dear child on my knee, and, kissing her, said "Papa is so pleased to have a birthday present of your own making; what is it my darling has made for me?" "why, don't you know, papa? I thought you would like best ship to take you to China!"
The dear child was right; probably no gift I ever received gave more pleasure, or was as carefully treasured, and as often thought of. When that dear child had become old enough to engage in missionary work in China herself, and was able to introduce me to the first two Chinese women whom she had brought to Christ, I remembered the little ship; and when the women were gone reminded her about it, and told her that the joy of finding her now used of God in the blessed work itself was a greater joy than her gift had been. She was surprised that I should remember it; but it had never passed form my memory, and the recollection of it is a pleasure still. It is not hard to please those who love us. (While preparing these sheets for the press we learn from a telegram that He whom my dear daughter had served in China since 1885, has called her (and her baby of sixteen months) from her husband, the Rev. J.J. Coulthard, and three surviving children, to the eternal home above.)"

On a sweltering summer morning more than 52 years ago, seven men dropped from the heavens and liberated Mary Previte from a Japanese prison camp.
They were like "angels falling from the sky," she recalls. She never forgot them, but she never had an opportunity to thank them, either. "It was like unfinished business," she says now.
Previte (pronounced PREH'-vuh-tee) was the daughter of Methodist missionaries in China. Mary and her three siblings studied at Chefoo, a boarding school for children of American and British missionaries.
The school on the coast was converted into a military base by Japanese invaders in 1942. The children and teachers were taken to the prison camp across the Shandong peninsula, where they awaited the end of the war. Previte's parents, working in central China, were never taken prisoner.
Previte was 12 years old when the paratroopers landed on Aug. 17, 1945, just outside the gates of the Weihsien Civilian Assembly Center. Three days before, the Japanese had announced their surrender, but another two weeks would pass before the surrender papers were signed.
The men were sent by the Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of the CIA, to liberate 1,400 captives taken by the Japanese during the war. Unable to land at the camp because of the guards, they made a low drop from a B-29 into a nearby cornfield.
A Salvation Army band began playing "The Star-Spangled Banner" and the prisoners hoisted their rescuers onto their shoulders. Suddenly, unexpectedly, the war was over for them, and they were free.
"The camp went berserk. We didn't know the war was over," Previte recalls. "People were dancing, weeping, pounding the ground."
Weeks would pass before Mary and her siblings would be reunited with their parents after a 51/2-year separation.
They returned to the United States. Mary married, had a daughter, divorced. She taught English, and went to work as administrator of Camden County's youth detention center in Blackwood, N.J.
She has run the jail since 1974 and says she draws upon her prison camp experience as she seeks to bring a sense of safety and order to the lives of juveniles awaiting trial.
Last year, she was chosen president of the New Jersey Juvenile Detention Association and was elected in November to the state Assembly, where she hopes to be an advocate for troubled youngsters.
Last name rhymes with 'brevity'. Elected to first term November 1997 to Assembly seat vacated by Republican John Rocco, who lost NJ Senate race to JOHN ADLER. Administrator of Camden County Youth Center for over 20 years, received wide attention for reforms in management and programs including citation by National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges as outstanding education program in US for juvenile corrections> Appointed by Governor CHRISTINE TODD WHITMAN to Juvenile Justice Commission and NJ Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Commission. Member, National Coalition for Juvenile Justice; elected 1997 as first female president of NJ Juvenile Detention Association. Cited as `Woman of Achievement' by NJ FEDERATION OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL WOMEN. Member, Haddonfield Board of Education 1972-74; Voorhees Township Board of Education 1965-66. Author of book, Hungry Ghosts on causes and treatment of troubled youth. Born September 7, 1932 in Kaifeng, China, parents served as missionaries in China, family imprisoned by Japanese during World War II, liberated August 1945 shortly after dropping of atomic bombs on Japan. Hobbies include making hand-made quilts, gardening. B.A. Greenville College M.A. (Education) Glassboro State College (now ROWAN UNIVERSITY), also graduate work at Temple University in Chinese language studies.
Mary Taylor Previte '53 - Director of Camden Youth Center, Author, New Jersey General Assembly member
From her three years as a POW in a Japanese prison camp during World War II to her 1997 election to the New Jersey General Assembly, Mary Taylor Previte has led an extraordinary life. After graduating from Greenville College in 1953 with a Speech/Psychology-Education major, Previte went on to change one of the worst childrens' shelters in New Jersey into a model facility, the Camden County Youth Center where she continues to serve as director.
Separated from her missionary parents while World War II raged in China, Mary spent three years in a Japanese concentration camp, not knowing if freedom would be hers again.
Through the trauma, she learned the power of discipline and developed a deep faith in the saving grace of God.
Now, Mary Taylor Previte is the director of a juvenile detention center in Camden, New Jersey. The center is full of child murderers, rapists, prostitutes and drug addicts. Her goal is to fill their empty souls.
Every day she faces the challenge of breathing a breath of hope into the hopeless.
Her success rate has been tremendous. Previte's very presence can stop a riot, and her classrooms would be the envy of any public school. What was once a building of filthy cells and abusive guards has become a haven of structure, security and peace.
How did she do this? By standing strong behind her belief that God's love can reach the heart of the unlovable.
Previte's book, Hungry Ghosts, is the story of her daily crusade to change lives and turn tragedy into triumph. I spoke with her about her life, her Youth Center and her steadfast faith.

AMERICA HAS HEROES
I KNOW THEIR NAMES
Mary Taylor Previte
Who can forget that August day? Who can forget those heroes?
When I was a child, I could understand the mad excitement of August 17, 1945 -- a sweltering, windy day - seven men parachuting at only 400 feet from an American bomber to liberate 1,500 Allied prisoners in the Weihsien internment camp. I was 12 years old. I had never seen grown ups so dizzy with joy. I had never seen such hysteria. They were weeping, screaming, dancing, and waving at the sky.
We trailed these American heroes everywhere. With the wonder of children, we cut off pieces of their hair for souvenirs. We begged for their signatures, their buttons, their insignia, and pieces of parachute. We sat on their laps.
We made them sing the songs of America -- "You Are My Sunshine" and "Maresey Doats and Doesey Doats and Little Lamsey Divey." We sang these songs until the grown-ups held their ears.
But I was too young to understand the miracle of seven men -- against how many Japanese? -- risking their lives to rescue me and 1,500 prisoners whom they didn't even know.
As I grew up, I wondered about that miracle. I thought about heroes like that. Who were these men? Where could I find them after all these years? In Japanese records? In American military records? I had no idea. But I had their names.
In 1997, when I was running for political office, a New Jersey State Senator -- my running mate -- asked me to substitute for him at a Saturday night banquet reunion of World War II veterans -- a banquet in a hotel located only ten minutes from my house. He wanted me to present the group with a thank you proclamation from the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey, a thank you for their service to America. These are veterans of the China-Burma-India Veterans Association, my running mate told me.
China-Burma-India veterans! I had never heard of this group before. But I felt the goose bumps ripple up my spine. "China-Burma-India veterans. That's who rescued me," I said. So in preparation for that Saturday night, I dug into my treasure chest. I typed out the names of our Weihsien heroes.
The banquet hall was filled with 150 men and women in their 70s and 80s -- all American veterans who had served in the China-Burma-India theater of operations during World War II. They had assembled from the north eastern region of the United States. When my turn came at the microphone, I read the thank you proclamation from the New Jersey Legislature. Then I said, "I know it was not an accident that I was invited here tonight to substitute for Senator Adler."
I told them the miracle story of August 17, 1945 -- an American B-24 "Liberator" bomber flying low over the treetops of the Weihsien Civilian Assembly Center. I was a child, I told them, watching parachutes drop from the belly of the plane, dropping into the gaoliang fields beyond the barrier walls.
Weihsien went mad. With 1,500 other prisoners, I dashed for the gates.
I poured out the story -- prisoners bursting through the gate, into the fields to welcome seven angel liberators. I told about the Salvation Army Band up on a mound by the gate, playing the Victory Medley to welcome these sun-bronzed American heroes.
"I brought their names," I said. Slowly, clearly, I read each name into the microphone. "Major Stanley Staiger, Ensign James Moore, 1st Lt. James J. Hannon, T/4 Raymond Hanchulak, Sgt. Tadash Nagaki, T/5 Peter Orlich, Eddie Wang."
I paused. I was hoping against hope. "Is any one of my heroes in this room
tonight?"
I was greeted by silence. I was greeted with men and women weeping. But when the banquet ended, they crushed me in their arms.
They told me to write these names down in their national magazine. "Write their names, their rank, anything you know about them." They told me to write that I was looking for all of these heroes -- to include my name address and telephone number.
So I wrote a notice for their national magazine.
At the banquet, one veteran from the state of Maryland became so excited by my story that he took my list of names. A few days later, a fat brown envelope arrived in the mail from Maryland. He had done a computer search for every telephone number in the United States that matched the names of my heroes.
Out of how many million Americans, he had listed pages and pages of names, addresses, and phone numbers.
Somewhere in those pages on my kitchen table were the whereabouts of my World War II heroes. I was campaigning door-to-door for political office, and I had no idea where to start. Should I phone? Should I send out letters -- "Are you the Stanley Staiger who liberated the Weihsien concentration camp in China, August 17, 1945"? Should I include self addressed, stamped return envelopes?
Some of my self-addressed envelopes returned with loving responses: "God bless you in your search."
But still no heroes.
The first break came in September, 1997. I couldn't believe it! The call came from a woman who lives only ten minutes from my house. She had read in the "CBIVA Soundoff" magazine that I was looking for men who had liberated Weihsien. She had served in Burma as a nurse, she said. "My sister lives next door to Raymond Hanchulak," she told me. Hanchulak was the medic on the Weihsien rescue mission. She gave me the telephone number in Bear Creek Village, Pennsylvania.
I decided to make my telephone calls on Sunday nights. Sunday night calls gave me a cheap 5-cents-a-minute rate.
When I asked for Raymond Hanchulak, the woman who answered the telephone asked me the purpose of my call. When I told her, I heard her gasp. "My Raymond died last year," she said. Here was a widow begging me for every detail I could give her about her hero husband. "He was trained in secrecy," she said. He had gone to war from the ethnic enclaves of Pennsylvania's mining region. He had been a member of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and later served in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He was trained not to talk. Until I told her, Helen Hanchulak had never heard her husband's Weihsien story.
I began to have misgivings. Would I find only widows? I knew I needed to speed up my search.
My list included only one Peter Orlich. Peter Orlich was the radio operator -- and the youngest member of the rescue team. A lady answered the phone when I called. Another widow. Carol Orlich told me that Peter had died four years before. But she knew Pete's Weihsien story. She had been corresponding with him all through the war. She told me he had volunteered for the rescue mission. She told me that he had feared being excluded because he wore glasses. So he tucked his glasses into his pocket as he stood in the physical examination line. He listened to each man before him reading off the letters on the eye chart. He passed the exam by memorizing the letters. On his first practice parachute jump, his glasses flew up onto his forehead so he couldn't see. So for the jump in Weihsien, he taped his glasses to his head.
Taking a gift from the bottom of a drawer in Pete's bedroom bureau, Carol Orlich mailed to me one of the treasures of my life today -- a piece of silk parachute embroidered with the rescue scene and autographed by each of the liberation team. A woman internee had given it to Pete as a goodbye gift when the team was leaving for Tsingtao. Carol wanted me to have it.
Now I had found two widows. I knew time was not on my side. My telephone bills provide a history of my search. On a Sunday night, I phoned Alliance, Nebraska, deep in America's heartland, hoping desperately to connect with the only Tadash Nagaki on my list. Nagaki was the Japanese American interpreter on the rescue team
"I'm calling for Tadash Nagaki," I said.
"Speaking," he said.
I began to cry. I had found my first hero. We chattered for an hour. I was full of questions. A widower, Tad farms beans, and corn, and sugar beets on his farm outside Alliance and is most comfortable with the solitude of his tractor. So I had to pull. "What did it feel like to have all of us children following you around," I asked.
"Like being on a pedestal," he said. I knew that was the understatement of the century. They were heroes. They were gods. Tad remembered a girl cutting off a chunk of his hair so she'd have a souvenir.
Tad said he could help me find Jim Moore in Dallas, Texas. Their families had remained friends for more than fifty years, exchanging cards at Christmas time. Bless my soul! I wanted to hug the world. I had dreaded the task of phoning more than 150 James Moores on my list.
Jim Moore bowled me over with his story. He was the child of missionaries to China, he said -- just like me. He had attended the Chefoo School -- just like me. When he graduated in 1936, he returned to the United States, graduated from college, started law school, and joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the Chefoo School's alumni magazine announced that the Japanese had captured the school and marched it to internment camp. Jim could picture it all -- his teachers, the little brothers and sisters of his classmates, all marched off and locked up. The magazine listed his classmates already serving in the military.
By this time, Jim had a wife and two children. Because the FBI was already protecting America's homeland, the rules said he didn't have to go to war.
His heart said something else. He had to go. Jim Moore resigned from the FBI, joined the Navy and the super-secret OSS, signed up to go to China because he could speak Chinese, and volunteered for the rescue mission. When he parachuted into the goaliang fields outside Weihsien, the first person he asked to see was "PA" Bruce, head master of the Chefoo School. Jim had retired from a career in the CIA when I found him.
I had come to a dead end in my search. I couldn't find Major Stanley Staiger. I couldn't find 1st Lt. Jim Hannon. Jim Moore promised to help me search. With a retiree's time and the skill of an intelligence professional, he didn't take long.
One morning, he phoned me at work to say he had found Stanley Staiger. He had searched in a program listing every driver's license in the United States and found Staiger in Reno, Nevada. "I talked with him today," he said.
Forget about the 5 cents a minute phone calls! I used my personal credit card at my desk and phoned at the high priced, middle-of-the-day rates. Stanley Staiger was fragile and recuperating from a fall and a broken hip. Here was the hero -- wasn't he ten feet tall? -- who had lead the mission that rescued Weihsien hoping out loud to me -- once a little girl he had rescued -- the hero-rescuer hoping out loud that he'd be able to walk again.
I promised him. "Anyone who had the guts and spizerinctum to lead a mission that rescued 1,500 people is definitely -- guaranteed -- going to walk again."
In December, Jim Moore phoned again. He had found Jim Hannon in Yucca Valley, California. I connected by phone again.
As I found each hero, I telephoned the newspapers in each of their towns and trumpeted the news: "Your town has a hero in its midst." Our heroes made headlines that they had never made after World War II.
Today, when I tell this story to students in schools and colleges, I bring the names and addresses of our rescue team and ask students to write to the men and the widows. Tad Nagaki and Peter Orlich's widow says they have a heaping box full of these letters and Valentine's day cards made by adoring children. I phone the men on holidays and send cards on their birthdays. My heroes have become friends.
Four months after I was sworn into office as an Assemblywoman, the agency of retired FBI agents flew Jim Moore and his wife from Dallas, Texas, for a surprise -- and very public -- reunion with Jim Moore and me on the floor of the New Jersey General Assembly. I wept. No-nonsense legislators wept. Even cynic TV cameramen wept.
My heart said it wasn't enough. So late in 1998, I started my pilgrimage to crisscross America to say thank you to each one of these heroes face to face.
I went looking for the soul of Americas and it is beautiful.
Who are these men? The war snatched Stanley Staiger out of business studies at the University of Oregon. After the war, he never returned to college. Tad Nagaki was a Nisei farm boy who didn't speak English until he went to a tiny elementary school in America's heartland. His immigrant father had come to America to work on the railroad and sent for a "picture bride" from Japan. Jim Hannon was the youngest of a very large family and an adventurer who had mined for gold in Alaska. He had escaped from a German concentration camp in 1944. Raymond Hanchulak came from coal mining regions of Pennsylvania and served his whole career in the military, including service in Vietnam. Jim Moore was son of Southern Baptist missionaries to China and the only college graduate in the group. Growing up in the Queens, New York, Peter Orlich was offered a scholarship to Columbia University. But his family needed Pete to work to help support the family, not go to college.
I'm still looking for "Eddie" Cheng-Han Wang, the Chinese interpreter on the mission.
What a journey of joy to honor these heroes in public and private meetings -- in church, civic group, veterans' meetings and conventions! I celebrated Stanley Staiger's 81st birthday with him in Reno, Nevada. What a journey!
I have honored each of the six Americans on the team or his widow.
I could never say enough thank yous. Some people say America has no heroes. I know their names.

Sacred to the memory of Robert Morrison DD.,
The first protestant missionary to China,
Where after a service of twenty-seven years,
cheerfully spent in extending the kingdom of the blessed Redeemer
during which period he compiled and published
a dictionary of the Chinese language,
founded the Anglo Chinese College at Malacca
and for several years laboured alone on a Chinese version of
The Holy Scriptures,
which he was spared to see complete and widely circulated
among those for whom it was destined,
he sweetly slept in Jesus.
He was born at Morpeth in Northumberland
January 5th 1782
Was sent to China by the London Missionary Society in 1807
Was for twenty five years Chinese translator in the employ of
The East India Company
and died in Canton August 1st 1834.
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth
Yea saith the Spirit
that they may rest from their labours,
and their works do follow them
Sacred to the memory of
Mary, wife of Robert Morrison DD
Who, erewhile anticipating a living Mother's joy
suddenly, but with a pious resignation,
departed this life after a short illness of 14 hours,
bearing with her to the grave,
her hoped-for child.
Mary was born in Dublin, Oct. 24, 1791,
and died at Macao,
June 10, 1821,
In a moment - at the last trump, -
The dead shall be raised incorruptible,
O death where is thy sting! -
O grave where is thy victory! -
Thanks be to GOD, who giveth us the
VICTORY,
Through our Lord Jesus Christ

Hundreds of missionaries were being forced to leave China. Many were near retirement age and would not be going out to the new fields of East Asia. How could the China Inland Mission (now OMF International) provide for the on-going care of these people who had given up homes and families to take the gospel to China?
There was already Lammermuir House in Tunbridge Wells, but this was too small. Could God provide a suitable house in the same area to meet this new need? For many months a search was made. Many houses were visited, but nothing appeared suitable.
Meanwhile in Pembury, the Arrowsmith family needed to sell Cornford House. As a Christian, Mrs Arrowsmith had wanted the house to go to a Christian organisation and was prepared to sell at a greatly reduced price. However, no such organisation had been found and the house had been put on the open market.
The local council was expressing strong interest in converting the house into a children's home. The Arrowsmiths were not excited at the prospect of the lift being ripped out and the gardens concreted over to provide playgrounds, and Mrs Arrowsmith gave herself to increased prayer.
Finally, the prayers of Mrs Arrowsmith and the CIM (China Inland Mission) came together. Through a local evangelist's network of contacts, someone remembered that they had heard that the CIM needed a large house.
Within 20 days from the first viewing of the house, an offer was made and accepted. Donations were given, alterations were made, and soon 30 people moved in. On 23 September 1954 Cornford House was dedicated to the Lord.
Cornford House became not just a provision for retirement, but a centre of prayer. Those who came to live in Cornford House had given their lives to China and carried with them to Pembury the burdens of Chinese believers and the young Chinese church. No one expected to return, and so they gave themselves to prayer for China.
A map of China hung on the wall, and for 25 years they prayed. Visitors to Pembury said that they were conscious of the presence of God in Cornford House. There was no news coming from the Christians in China, and it was only many years later that there would be the opportunity for people to go back to China from Cornford House to see the miracles that God had done in those hidden years.
The house also became a place of care and comfort for many as faculties began to fail with age. Some complained that the Lord wasn't taking them quickly enough! But they knew that at Cornford House they were living in his presence with others who had the same vision for China and East Asia. The mission was their life and it remained with them until the Lord called them home.
Bishop Houghton, Leslie Lyall, Jim Broomhall, Henry and Mary Guinness, Alfred Bosshardt, Phyllis Thomson... The roll call of those who went to glory from Cornford contains many names known to the general Christian public as well as those whose exploits are known only within CIM / OMF or to the Lord they served.
In the early 1970s Cornford House was extended and later Cornford Court was built to house younger and fitter retirees. When the decision was made for OMF to move out of its London headquarters at Newington Green, the presence of the retired workers in the area was one of the factors that led to the choice of Sevenoaks for the new National Office in 1976.
But in the 1990s things began to change. Many retired missionaries now wanted to stay in their own homes near to their families and the churches who had supported their ministry. Fewer and fewer were using the home, and it was no longer meeting the needs of retired members in the way originally planned. And money was being diverted from Asia to keep Cornford going for a declining number of OMFers.
Margaret, the widow of George Scott, who was Acting Home Director at the time Cornford House was purchased by the CIM, is now one of the residents at Cornford House. Margaret Weller, who was one of the initial members of staff and later the Matron, still lives in Cornford Court. However the majority of the residents had no connection with OMF or CIM.
After much prayer and discussion finally the decision was taken that Cornford House must be sold. The Lord had called OMF primarily to preach the gospel in East Asia, not to run a home for the retired in Kent. Meetings were held and letters sent out to inform the residents and their relatives of the desired transfer of ownership of the home. As a last resort it might have to be sold as a vacant possession.
Prayers that had opened China to the gospel were now directed at Cornford House. For three years prayers were made that the home would not have to be closed. It was a difficult time, but finally contact was made with a Christian from Northern Ireland, who owned a similar home in Surrey. Ernie Graham agreed to manage Cornford House with an option to purchase.
With the voluntary help of David and Haidi Trumper, over the last two years Ernie has been able to turn the home into a financially viable concern and to return to OMF the finances that were lost previously. Now the home has been sold to Ernie, who is hoping for permission to develop it further.
Over the years the Christian ethos of the home has been one of its great attractions and Ernie is keen to see this continue. OMFers and OMF-related people will still have preference of entry. Prayer meetings and days of prayer will continue as before.
Above all, Cornford House in Pembury will remain a place dedicated to God where his gospel can be demonstrated and his ageing people cared for.

The trustees of the cemetery have a fine balance to maintain between keeping the wild beauty of the cemetery and yet ensuring that it does not become overgrown.
The cemetery is a maze of beautiful monuments, headstones, sculptures and a mausoleum. The most famous grave belongs to General William Booth (and his family), founder of the Salvation Army.

Inscription in Remembrance of Samuel Dyer at Paddington Chapel
IN REMEMBRANCE
Of SAMUEL DYER
Who was for several years a humble, pious, and faithful
Teacher in this School
And who, devoting himself to the service of his blessed
Redeemer
Was on the 20th of February, 1827,
Here solemnly set apart as a
Missionary of the Gospel,
And having left his native land for the shores of India, in the providence of
God, arrived safely at his destination,
PENANG
Or, Prince of Wales Island, in the China Sea,
August 8th, 1827.
Faith unfeigned, sincere brotherly love, patient continuance in well-doing,
and the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, endeared him to us while
he laboured here; and his memory will long be cherished with affectionate
regard by all who knew him. To perpetuate the remembrance of
such an example of self-denial and missionary zeal, this humble memorial
is set up.
"The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit." 2 Tim. 4:22
(Memoir p. 12)
8. Paddington Chapel 1813-2003, Thames North
There was a strong desire to respond to the spiritual needs of this rapidly developing West London area in 1800s. It was Thomas Wilson, one of the "Fathers and Founders" of the London Missionary Society among his many achievements who was to spearhead the building of a chapel in Old Marylebone Road. The first attempt to secure a site was frustrated because the freeholders would not lease the land for a nonconformist place of worship. However a more favourable site became available and then secured on a seventy-year lease. Work commenced in March 1813 and was completed in August. The first service was held on 10 September 1813. Following the setting up of Sunday School, the work of the church developed into Lisson Grove area which subsequently led to the development of the Earl Street Mission. Along with Old Marylebone Road site, the Paddington Chapel members ran all manner of groups and workshops for men, women and children on these sites. Other priorities over the years included substantial commitment and support for lay and ordained members working in Christian mission overseas. Unfortunately the work in Lisson Grove ceased shortly after the Second World War and mission centred once again in Old Marylebone Road. This site was sold approximately thirty years ago and Paddington Chapel continued worship in St Marks Church, Old Marylebone Road following the close relationship, which developed with St Mary's Church Bryston Square. Paddington Chapel Ministry during the last few years focused on providing a regular act of nonconformist worship particularly for the many visitors to London. In 2003 the church members of Paddington Chapel agreed that they could no longer sustain a regular service and on 21 September 2003 the final act of worship was held when members of the United Reformed Church and friends of Paddington Chapel celebrated the work of Paddington Chapel and gave thanks for its past one hundred and ninety years of Christian service and ministry.

SACRED TO THE MEMORY
OF
THE REV SAMUEL DYER
Protestant Missionary to the Chinese,
Who for 16 years devoted all his energies
to the advancement of the Gospel
among the emigrants from China
settled in Pinang Malacca and Singapore.
As a Man, he was amiable & affectionate,
As a Christian, upright, sincere, & humble-minded,
As a Missionary, devoted zealous, & indefatigable.
He spared neither time, nor labour nor property,
in his efforts to do good to his fellowmen.
He died in the confident belief of that truth
which for so many years he affectionately & faithfully
preached to the Heathen.
He was born 20 February, 1804,
Sent to the East by the London Missionary Society
And died at Macao, 24 October. 1843.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,
even so them also which sleep in Jesus
will God bring with him.

The tombstone of J. Hudson Taylor, pioneer missionary to China, was discovered a few years ago in the cluttered storage yard of a museum in Zhenjiang by his great grandson, James Hudson Taylor III. The graveyard where it stood had been razed years earlier, the younger Taylor said at a conference session. He told of efforts by local believers and others to have the memorial stone mounted at another site. Permission was granted, he said, but the museum director demanded $13,000 payment for the 26 years it had laid in the storage yard. Pastors in China overseeing the restoration project recently informed the curator he could keep the grave marker, Taylor said. In their letter, they said that what was etched in the hearts of people as a result of the ministry of the revered missionary who died in 1905 was more important than what was written on stone.
-- Mission For the 1990s: Chinese Reaching Chinese, by Edward E. Plowman.
Three generations of Taylors commemorated the reerection of Hudson Taylor's tombstone in China with a private memorial service on June 12, 1999. J. Hudson Taylor and his wife Maria founded the China Inland Mission in 1865. Since then more than 3,000 missionaries served with the CIM. Hudson Taylor died in China in 1905 and was buried in Zhenjiang, beside Maria's grave. The small Protestant cemetary was destroyed by the Red Guard during the Cultural Revolution. Hudson Taylor's tombstone was rescued by a local museum where it was recently found and now stands in a specially built chapel beside the local church.
The tombstone, now reerected beside the Zhenjiang
Christian Church in Jiangsu province reads:
Sacred to the memory of the Rev. J. Hudson Taylor, the revered founder of
the China Inland Mission.
Born May 21, 1832, Died June 3, 1905
"A MAN IN CHRIST" 2 Cor. XII:2
On the base below are the words:
This monument is erected by the missionaries of the China Inland Mission,
as a mark of their heartfelt esteem and love.

"O holy Saviour, Friend unseen," was the one of the hymns that Maria chose for his funeral service.
Though faith and hope are often tried,
We ask not, need not, aught beside ;
So safe, so calm, so satisfied,
The souls that cling to Thee.
They fear not Satan nor the grave,
They know Thee near, and strong to save;
Nor fear to cross e'en Jordan's wave,
While still they cling to Thee.
