ing Talk on Chinese Custom*.
Preen the Daily item. J?h? i
A good audience gathered at the
First Methodist church last evening
to listen to an nddress on "The Ups
and I>owns of Life in Chlna^' by Hev.
Dr. Ollhert Keid, founder and direct?
or of the International Institute of
China. He had a most unusual story
to tell, of his tlrst attempts to secure
the friendship and confidence of
mandarins and literuti in Peking,
and the imperial sanction given to his
prospective institute in 1897, with $lf>,
01)0 subscribed by Chinese and other
friends; of his two years' campaign
in raising money In Europe and this
country, gaining interest and endorse?
ment from many though beset by dis?
couragements and unfavorable con?
ditions; of the rising tide of reaction
in China, of the Hoxer upheaval nnd
the sieg?? of the Legations, where Dr.
1 lost his arm and was wounded
In the defense, and his scheme of an
Institute was In abeynance; of re?
moval to Shanghai and re-organ
Uatlon, win n tin- Chinese contributed
U5.000 for a site and $5,000 for a
building; of the progress of his edu- !
rational work, and increased ac-1
quaintance among the leaders of
? 'bins in all parts of the Empire; of
the second endorsement of the \r
i
stltute by the Chinese government in
1909, and the farewell reception1
which was given pior to return to j
this country; and of the difficulties
now experienced in securing Ameri?
can cooperation and financial assist?
ance for American associates In the
work. The story told shows the need
for courage, faith and self-denial,
s id that the day of romance and
heroism has not yet passed in mis?
sions.
Dr. Reld leaves tomorrow for Au?
gusta, and thence for New York, but
will return in about a month for his
family, who remain In Sumter until
that time as guests of Mr. and Mrs.
