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.
