cinasar Wannex of Huxan"—by fon London. The Bpwerth ress:
Many people in China besides members of' the missionary "body will welcome this little memento of the late Rev. G. G. Warren Changsha, Iie was one of the most attractive and forceful personalities that the present writer ever had the pleasure of knowing, an extraordinarily handsome man with is tall, commanding figure, his fangle nose and fine head, and the vivid interest of his conversation was irresistible, however many duties might be piling up to delay tone later in the day while one listened, His influence was equally marked among foreigners and Chinese, and for many years of his ife he was commonly known, certainly not irreverently, as' "the uncrowned king of Changsha," that proud city which he had done more than any other man to open up to the foreigner.
