- FOUR BAPTISMS IN YING-SHAN
We had looked forward to four or five days' work in Ying-shan similar to that in Yün-mung,but at the end of our two days' walk from the one city to the other (they lie more than fifty miles apart), Mr. Terrell had a touch of fever, so we judged it best to remain in Ying-shan only for a day and then travel as quickly as possible by chair to Teh-ngan to consult our good friend, Dr. Morley, of the Wesleyan Mission Hospital in that city, and from thence take boat for Hankow....The third, Tseng, is a cloth-seller living in the northern suburb of the city; while old Mrs. Leu lives seven miles to the south of Ying-shan.
