- The episcopal residence is in the city of Ning-Po, a large seaport some hundred miles to the south of Shang-Hai, and more or less under British protection. Many Europeans are living there, and on the whole things are better from a European point of view than in places further up the country. Even the Catholics at Ning-Po are comparatively well off, especially as to the number of the Catechumens.
