EXTRACTS FROM LETTER FROM
RET. TV. F. JO'KIA.
"On Grand Canal,"
December 5, 1911.
Well, after all, we had to "run." We
left Suchien yesterday morning. As
far as conditions at Suchien are concerned,
they are better than they have
been. We would not have come away
on our own invitation, and we are not
satisfied yet that it was the necessary
thing to do, but the command came
through our Consul from the Legation
in Peking, and we did not feel a? liberty
to disobey, especially as all our
news of condition of affairs was ten
days, and more, old. First, we had a
letter from the Captain of our American
warship, the "New Orleans," at Nanking
advising all women and children to
seek a place of safety. We paid no attention
to this as It was two weeks old
when we received It; and, too, traveling
lng between Suchien Tsingkiang pu was
out of the question and we felt safer
at Suchien than on the road. A week
ago we received word from Chingkiang
that the ladles (single ladies), of T. K.
P. had left and intimated that we had
better be doing something. We paid no
attention to this. That same night we
got a telegram from Richardson, our
missionary, saying, "Minister (in Peking),
says the danger is increasing.
Indies here all leave to-morrow for
Shanghai U. S. Representative urges
all persons in interior to come away.
Wire your plans." We consulted together
and decided to try to find out
what "danger," and if the "urging" came
from our Consul. We thought It might
be the scare of a gunboat captain, who
would know nothing about our safety or
non-safety. Last Friday we had a telegram
from Consul Gracey himself saying,
"Legation instructs all Americans
tu icaw iuo nuuuui, iiiiu we leu lUKl
that settled the question and the responsibility
of leaving was taken off of
us. Saturday morning we had a telegram
from Mr. Sydenstrlcker, at Chingkiang
saying, "Danger increasing. Obey
Consul." So we decided to leave early
Monday. Our leaving was a grief to
many of the Chinese. The fact that we
are ordered out is to them a sign of
danger of serious troubles. Many of
them look to us only as the only hope
of salvation from starving this winter.
This will be a terrible year, much worBe
than last. I don't see how it can be,
but that multitudes will die, no matter
what is done. I do hope we can soon
eet back and beein famine relief wnrlr
It made my heart very heavy to leave
those people now, though I dread with
an awful dread the winter and spring
work and experiences! Many women
were In tears when they said good-bye,
and some strong men could hardly control
themselves. We do not know yet
just why we are called out. Some papers
ten days old mention antl-forelgn demonstrations
In some places, and the
massacre of some foreigners. That may
he the reason for our Minister's orders.
The feeling of the Chinese at Suchlen
Is entirely friendly. I hope we three
men can soon he going back, but In
any event I think I will Insist on leaving
Mrs. J. and the children south, until
we are more certain as to conditions.
I do not want them at Suchlen when the
famine is at Its height. We are hoping
to Btop at Soochow, hut can not tell
now. I do not see how we can afford
to live In Shanghai! Don't worry about

you may not be anxious.

EXTRACTS FROM A LETTER FROM
MRS. J. W. VINSON, OF HAICHOW,
CHINA.
December 8, 1911.
We are on our way down to Shanghai,
being ordered by our Consul to leave
the interior. Everyone is excited over
the rumors all afloat?wildest rumors
you could Imagine?but so far as we
could see there was no" call to leave;
but we felt that it would not be right
to disregard the orders of the Minister,
and when orders came direct from
headquarters, we picked right up and
come along. It is a dreadful thing to
do?to pick up and leave one's work,
and one's comfortable home, and all
one's things, and go off to a strange
city?rent an empty house, with the
prospect of camping there and patting
one's foot for a winter at least, if not
longer; when so far as is apparent,
there is no danger at all in staying at
home. Still it is true that the country
is in a very unsettled state, and If a
sudden turn came and they took a
notion to rise against the foreigners, It
would be hard to get out even from
Haichaw by sea?in winter with two
women and five little children. So here
we are on the tug barge on our way to
Shanghai. I wish you could see this
room-full?we have taken the "official"
apartinent on this barge?a square
room about 12 feet wide with six
"kangs," or beds around the sides, leaving
a floor space in the middle about
7x7 feet, in which square is a table and
three stools. The beds are like large
chests, and in them are bestowed our
cAira jaggage, wniie Mr. Vinson, Mrs.
Rice and I, our five children, the two
women, Mrs. Rice's woman's little girl
(about 15 years old), an orphan boy we
are taking down to Mrs. Graham, are
all variously occupied about the room.
The foreigners will take the beds and
the Chinese the floors to-night. You
can Imagine It is not at all stagnated
in here, to say the least. We are very
comfortable?we have two oil stoves to
cook on and two for heating, and having
the big space In the middle makes
it much more "comfy" than in the little
cablnB. Mr. Vinson was already down
this way attending to some business, and
met us above Tslngklklongpu. I brought
all our winter and summer clothes, and
enough fcod and utensils to use on the
road. We have no Idea when we will be
allowed to go back, for this revolution
is not a thing of a day, and the end is
not yet Mr. Rice was rushed to the
limit trying to borrow money to get off
with, and a thousand and one other
things to attend to. We had $180
(Mexican), in a bank at Halcbow, when
the soldiers In the camps revolted, turned
out the Jails and burned the bank.
Of course we were "out" that much,
and cnnldn'f ? ? onm* ?v.i1??* * -
- m-c -v.iic iiim i j uaiiiv notes
from -that bank. Then the Revolutionary
soldiers came In a few days and the
city went over to them. Thev took all
the money In the National Bank and
closed the doors, so what few notes we
had from that hank were no *ood?so
we really didn't have enough money to
cret away on. At last Mr. Rice succeeded
In borrowing enough to take us
to where Mr. Vinson met us with more,
and pfter he met Mr. V. he went hack
to HaJchow with money to pay up some
little accounts, servants, etc., and will
loin us later. The first host we were
or. on the Salt Canal to Tslneklanrnu
was so small and dlrtv. and the boatmen
so lary, It was horrid. It waa old,
and the floor planks were so unsteadv,It
was sea rev. and we were so erampetf.

but fortunately not till after we met
Mr. V., but, poor man, be bad a time,
for 1 couldn't do a thing all one day
but "lie up In bed and bug the wash

December 4, and got to T. K. P. Thursday
P. M. and hope to get to Chinghlang
to-morrow, Saturday and spend Sunday
there and then go on to Shanghai. Mr.
V. expected to meet us at T. K. P., but
met us earlier. All the houses In Shanghai
are crowded, but Mr. V. had rented
a six room house while he was there,
and we hope the Bradleys, Rices and
ourselves can occupy It. All this will

we didn't want to! It puts us some- '
tbing "in the hole," for we bad all our
supplies for the year practically untouched
in our pantry at Haichow. I
have written quite a long letter in spite
of the turmoil and interruptions.
A MAUAZIXE THAT FILLS A NEED.
Never in the history of the world has
there been a greater special movement
than that stirring the. Christian men of
to-day. In response to this mighty impulse,
which was born of the Spirit.
Christian men everywhere have formed
into brotherhoods and similar organizations.
The Presbyterian Brotherhood of
America is one of the most virile of
these and brings within its national organization
nearly a thousand local
brotherhoods, with an aggregate membership
of approximately 50,000.
In response to a special need, the
Presbyterian Brotherhood of America
has established a men's magazine entitled
'Men at Work." Dr. William
Chalmers Covert, of Chicago, widely
known throughout the country for his
Mterary eminence and spiritual power,
Is the editor. In the numbers which
have already been Issued under his
direction, there have been messages of
