Southern Methodist, ANO LO-CHINESE UNXVEItSITY, SHANGHAI. Wesleyan Christian Advocate. My Dear Doctor Potter : I have been vvai'ing with wlmt patience and oomposuro I could command until tliisdato, 22J August, to hear from our Missionary Secretary and get a list of the appropris'i ms, but with tho exception of a brief letter from the Treasurer, received on the 17th August, I h ive luid nothiug from the Mission Rooms since Dr Wilson's last letter, written in April, before the meeting of the General Conference. I only mention this fact. Meanwhile events in our midst have demanded attention and action The time has uow come for tlie location of our central Insti tution or University. Asa person, nl corr spendent and as a member of tho Board you have had oppor tunities to Know something of tho progress of our educational move ment. It lias grown and grown till its proportions far exceed anything originally expected, aud lias forcod upon us corresponding enlargement ot ideas in the matter of providing fot it. I had hoped that tlio information before the Board at its lalo in oting would elicit tavorubie action, aud.so it did, but owing to adverse circum stances, the Treasury being behind in its receipt from tl.o Conferences, the appropriation on this account was not sufficient to onablo us to act promptly, as tho caso uow de mands. lum under tho necessity there fore, of mincing this personal and urgent appeal to tho triends of this enterprise. From the very first I huvo accepted this movement as providential; and, as Providence is never doubblo-mindml, I havo had hath in its being accepted by the Church, particularly by the South ern Methodist Church to whom it offers such tremendous advantages in tho prosecution oflho missionary enterprise. Consider the facts for a moment. 11l less than half a year from its in ception wo havo equipped and or ganised two High Schoolswith some four hundred pupils,* otnp.ising the very host olttfcue* in Chinese society; hoe alrea ly in hand, paid in ad vance, sufficient funds from tho pu pils and Oliiiicto patrons to meet running expenses, for two y< ars, vliilc the are now in waiting, anx ious for admission, some six hun dred pupils more. The lame of tho projected institu tion has gone out thr.nigh the whole length and breadth ot iho land and even to tho remotest rogions of for eign countries, indeed wherever there is a Chinaman the impulso Inta already boon fell; the evidence ot which I have on my desk before mo in the shape of numerous letters from the remotest parts of China and iroin Japan, America and Eu rope—from merchants, literary men and from Ambassadors at foreign courts. It is safe to sly that no scheme ever ii troducod to the Chi nese uulilic has met with such a hearty, and unanimous, and I might add, universal approval, as this. And what does it mean? This among other things, that China ac eepts tho Church as tho founder, promoter and pioneer of our Chrit,-* tiau civilization, which from long experience of the facts it has reluc tantly at last come to regard as es sential to tiic host interests of its own people. Foreigners aro iu the country to slay. Political inter course and commercial relations are established; onr military power and material superiority are exhibited in every form, while tho etfetenoss and incapacity of her own systems are becoming more and more ruani lesq In other years China has been co item to imitate a utilization it could not produce, to copy our ma terial patterns or buy from foreign nations what the genius or skill of her own people could not inamifac lure. But a change has come. Her convictions have atlast reached the root of the matter. Sho asks now no Unger for patterns and cop. ies but lor teachers and schools to instruct her own youth and qualify them for the inauguration of that national developemeut and progress which she is beginning to soe aud feel to be essential to her future in dependence anil prosperity. Here then is the Church's opportunity, Sho is eminently endowed for this woik. It is part of her mission. She cannot fail to do it without be trayal and jeopardy of her highest interests. For half a lifetime as the servant ot the Church, I havo not failed with whatever of insight nud power I have had to hasten the day w hich now con Ron la as. The times now tiro auspicious, the opportunity is ours, and I should fail, utterly fail, of my duly, were I not in this su preme hour to send this message o* solicitation undgieetiug to the dear brethren of my beloved native lamb who have so long sustained lu# by their faith and prayers. We now come to the figures in volved. These are not half so large or extravagant as they are urgent, for I ask not now for the full equip ment of the enterprise. That I shall gladly defer io 1884, centen nial year. What i a.k now is only the grounds for the location of the University aud a small sum to pro vide a few primary buildings and one or two residences for the for eign teachers, who will reside on the prenises. The lot selected is one approved by tho Chinese and in every respect eligible. It is situated imediatcly under the west wall of tho city and both convenient ami accessible from every part of Shanghai, tho most re mote parts of which aro hardly more than a mile audit half distant, with, in which aro comprised a population of nearly four hundred thousand souls. The lot itself is about hve hundred feet square, equal to near ly eight acres and is not too large, rather small if anything, but en largement will be possible. The price asked for it is reasomiDle con sidering the valuo ot property in Shanghai, and will not exceed four thousand dollars per acre, say some $32,000 fur lot alone. In addition to which the necessary residences and primary buildings for schools will cost some 5 13,000 to £ls, 000 more, at the very least —making a total of 545,000 to 547,000 requir- 1 ed to make the first step toward the consummation of this stupendous en terprise. Of this sum, judging by the Treas urer’s letter received on the 17th Au gust, the hoard has already provided by appropriation some Si 0,000, while our adjustments here, in view of that purchase, will bring us in some SB,OOO or s9,ooo,more from the sale of prop erty to the Woman’s Board. Thus wc have a basis of say $25,000 to act on,leaving only some $20,000 to $22,- 000 to be provided, the figures spec ially contemplated in this appeal. In view of the urgency ot the mat ter, arrising out of (1) the (act that suitable lots are rare, (2) that this lot may at any day be taken up in the market, (3) the demand of the Woman’s Board for an early poss ession of the property it is proposed to vacate in their favor, and (4) the greater urgency of the scheme itself which demands a location for immed iate use for expansion purposes, etc., I propose to take steps at once to bring the whole matter before the Chinese and foreign communities here and elsewecrc in China. The object to be attained is so vast in its scope and of such unpar alcllcd importance both to the Church and to China, that I cannot for one moment believe that the small sum now asked for will be discounted or delayed. I have now set forth the facts of tho ca e. Conscience must do the rest. Contributions or donation* to this cause should be sent to the Treas urer at Nashville, Brethren who would contribute as did “a brother in Georgia” some three years ago shall have their wishes respected. I should like to have responses in full by the first of January next. An urgent aitf.au Young J. Allen. Shanghia, China. No matter what your ailment iu, Brown’s Iron Bitters will surely benefit yon.
