REVOLT AGAINST

FOREIGNERS CHINA SERIOUS American Missions in Province of Kwang-Si Have Been Burned Along with Hospital and College. THREE BATTALIONS ARE RUSHED TO THE SCENE Missionaries Were Warned in Time to Escape Anti For eign Rioters Uprisings Before. (American News Service) Canton, China, Nov. 12. Refugees arriving here today by boat from the Province of Kwang-Si reported that practically all the American Missions had been destroyed by a revolt against foreigners, which is raging throughout the American Presbyterian -church, the hospital and the American college were . burned. Three battalions of troops have been sent from here to quell the disturbances. At Llencbou, the Kwang-Si Province, the mission in charge of Doctors Machle and Ross. and. also Mrs. Ross, Mr. Carver, Mr. Kunkle, Mr. and Mrs. Edwards and Miss Patterson was attacked. Only by a timely warning were the missionaries able to escape from the anti-foreign rioters. The uprising was totally unexpect ed by the missionaries No disturb ances have occurred in the Kwang-Si Province for nearly two months and the Americans believed themselves to be on ' the most friendly", te'rms - with the Chinese. : Two months ago there was an uprising which was not taken as a demonstration solely against the foreigners, but chiefly as a ..protest, by . the. -natives against additional taxes. There has been considerable uneasiness among American missionaries in China, however, since' the riots of last April and May, when, scores of buildings erected by Americans in various missionary colonies were destroyed and attempts made on the lives of the missionaries. - . . , ' ' At that time the riots were centered in Chang Sha, near Pekin and the foreigners were given refuge by British warships. Big posters announcing that all the missionaries would bekllled were placarded throughout the town and a U. S. cruiser was rushed to Hankow where fresh outbreaks were feared. : The ' trouble in Aprln grew grave when 6,000 foreign drilled troops joined the rioters after making a feeble attempt to guard the governor of the Province. - The riots at that time were caused mainly because of a rice famine which was sweeping that part of the country. The foreigners were blamed by the ignorant class of Chinese for the food deficit and were soon Incited into riot by fanatics. .

CHURCH NEGLECTED Rev. Pennington at Revival Meeting Censures Church People for This, CHURCH HAS MUCH WORK TO DO IN RICHMOND, AND NOT BECAUSE THE CITY 19 "WET" AND MAY REMAIN SO, HE TELLS HIS AUDIENCE. SUNDAY SERVICES. 2:30 p. m. ? East Main Street Friends church, subject. "Why I Believe in the Diety of Jesus. 7:30 p. m. East Main Street Friends church, ' subject, "Are You Alive or Only Existing. 7:30 p. m. Supplementary meeting at the Second English Lutheran and St. - Paul's Lutheran churches. In the addresses by the Rev. Levi Pennington, pastof of South Eighth Street Friends' church, and Evangelist George Mahy last . evening two strong messages of gospel exhortation were given the large audience in attendance Mr. Pennington who sextended the pastoral greeting,, laid especial emphasis on the importance of the harvest time and to the fact that there is a harvest awaiting the Christian workers in Richmond at the present time. As ; the basis for his talk he used the words .of Christ: "Lift up your eyes; the fields are already white unto the harvest" From this he drew two strong points, one the advantage of lifting up the eyes to the contemplation of better things, and the other to note that the harvest field Is awaiting the. workers. Mr. Pennington ' gave as illustration how when the harvest time Is on all those who can be secured are pressed into service in order that the harvesting may be done as quickly as possible,' and the crop saved from ruin by the weather or from spoliation by becoming over ripe. It is the same in God's work there" is something for every one to do, even though' it be only to carry water to those who are bearing the heat and, burden of the day. Mr. Pennington believes too many people are ' looking down : in discouragement or trying to satisfy themselves with trivial things that are unworthy , of immortal souls..' Me said he knew of people who went to see the dancing of Pavlowa when they should have been engaged In the work of the church. He declared that there is plenty to do right here in Richmond and this, he aid, was not necessarily due to the fact that the city went "wet' and may do so again. . The burden of Mr. Pennington's Inal exhortation was to do something God has a job for every one. , , Mahy Urges Preparation. Mr. Mahy spoke on preparation to meet God and he emphasised In many ways the overwhelming importance of sudi preparation. Sin. he declared, cannot stand in the presence of God. There are Christians here who would not want their lives opened up to public view but God will bring every secret thing into judgment. We prepare for other, things and why not for the long journey from which no traveler ever returns? " The preparation, her said, should consist in the confession of sin, the forsaking of sin and seeking Christ. ; God , is profoundly concerned that we should be prepared. The Bible quotations and the examples used to make plain the speaker's theme, were unusually in teresting and illuminating. Mr. Mahy was quite well acquainted with the late Senator DolHver and he took occasion to pay him a high tribute for his worth of Christian character. Mr. Dolliver had enjoyed a strong Christian experience and he testiled to this fact when -opportunity presented to do so. The services for Sunday are as Indicated at the beginning of this article. Thousands of special tickets of invitation to the principal services are being distributed today and a special invitation is also given for those who can sing, especially men. to join the large chorus. There will be no serv ices Sunday evening in "j any of the churches united In, this movement, except as indicated above.. Interest in the meetings has been maintained throughout the week and it Is felt that with the services of Sunday the influence of the effort will begin to be more generally felt. The services of tomorrow will mark - the inauguration of ' the . soul , winning campaign that consistently follows what has been a week of careful preparation. In the services of last evening the scripture lesson was read, by the Rev. Hardlngham, and prayer was offered bj Captain Deuter of the ' Salvation Army. , , SUCCEEDS DOLLIVER (American News Service) -r Des Moines, Nov. 12.
