THROUGH the generosity of the Rev. J. F. Goucher, D.D., the well-known educationist of Baltimore, the Methodist Episcopal Church was enabled to open a mission in West China in the year 1882, and the Rev. L. N. Wheeler, D.D., formerly Superintendent of the North China Methodist Mission, was asked to lead the new undertaking. The City of Chungking, in the Province of Szechwan, with its seven hundred thousand inhabitants, was selected as the headquarters of the new mission. Chungking stands in the same relation to West China as Hankow does to the Central Provinces. It is the great distributing point for the upper river, and through it passes the traffic of sixty millions of people with the outside world. After many months of property-hunting, Dr. Wheeler succeeded in purchasing within the city a favourable site. The old Chinese buildings which stood upon it were repaired and used for chapel, school and residential purposes. From the opening of the work the interest was widespread and crowds attended the Sunday services. In 1886 a line new property was purchased three miles from the city upon the main road leading to Chentu. Here they intended to build residences, a hospital, a chapel and boys' and girls' schools. Shortly after the buildings had been commenced, the military students came up to Chungking for their triennial examinations, and as they were anti-foreign in spirit, soon set afloat all sorts of absurd rumours about the newly acquired mission property. The new houses, they declared, were to be forts from which cannon would be turned upon the city to destroy it. They pretended to have found a book which told of a dragon whose head was in one river and whose tail was in another, a mile away. The mission buildings, they stated, were...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Nelson Lovatt in Late Qing China: War, Maritime Customs, and Treaty Ports,1860-1904 looks at the late Qing dynasty through the eyes of a British-American who spent most of his adult life in China in the late nineteenth century, fighting in four wars, serving in its maritime customs service, and living in eleven different treaty ports. It is based on the newly-discovered journals, correspondence, and photographs of William Nelson Lovatt (1838-1904), who first arrived in China in 1860 as a sergeant in the British army to fight in the Second Opium War, and who then proceeded to fight against the Taiping in Shanghai, against the Nian in Tianjin, and finally against the Japanese in Taiwan, providing an inside look at those four conflicts. Joining the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs Service in 1863 under Inspector-General Sir Robert Hart, Lovatt provides a rare insider look at the operation of Hart and the Maritime Customs Service for during the four decades he served. Because he was based in treaty ports, he also provides a new look at those enclaves, their institutions, and their inhabitants – Chinese, missionaries, and fellow customs officials. Fluent in Chinese, his frequent travels outside the treaty ports gave him rare access to Chinese society available to few others. This volume opens up a new window on China during the final decades of the Qing dynasty.
