A deep gloom has been cast over our community by the death of the Rev. A. F. H. Saw which occurred yesterday afternoon at Christ's Hospital. than one week ago Mr. Saw came here to attend the annual meeting of the Foreign Christian Mission, of which he was a member. He felt ill on his arrival but it was not until two days later that a physician was called and it was found that he was suffering with typhus fever. Mr. Saw has been located at Obuchou, north of Nanking, and succeeded to the work of the Rey. E. P, Hearnden who met a tragic death' from drowning two years ago, He formerly resided in Nanking and has been much among us during his residence in China. It has been lege of few missionaries to acquire 0 and respect from both foreigners and natives as did Mr. Sav. His abilities, manners, and amiable disposition combined to make him one much beloved. Ho spent himself going about doing good.
jeepest sympathy is felt for Mrs. Saw, so sadly bereaved, and for the mission in' its loss of so efficient a worker.
