And just here let the names of three men be mentioned who should be memorialised in the very capital itself. Baron von Ketteler has his monument there; these deserve it quite as much, and from such a fond, not from Chinese or Government money. The persons referred to are Chao and Yuen, who changed the characters in the Empress Dowager's Faict and saved the lives of a number of missionaries; and Hsi who opposed the Boxers in other ways to the advantage of foreigners, as he realised the terrible issues at stake in the trend of affairs; these lost their own lives in consequence. Posubly they were not "Obristian" martyrs, but they were martyrs for humanity and for good; and we, the foreigners, ought to remember them in a way to impress their own people with our appreciation of their deed, and do it where it will be seen and its influence felt as an agency doing good because of their good deed, through the coming yours, And Peking' is the place for such 4 memorial, just as other memorials should be erected' in Paotingfu, Thiyuanfu, and other places. Let there be a full and free expression of opinion on this important memorial question. Let us seek the better way: the way of widest range of influence for good.
