Some harrowing tales have come out of this country. The Canadiat Mission "have been sponsoring Home Mission experiment for fifteen years which has done effective work both among Chinese and hill people. The new church at Lifan was completely destroyed, and the members who did not escape were killed. At 'Tsakaolao, the teacher and missioner, Mr. Ren' Such-sen, with his wife, mother and entire family except one son, studying In Chengtu, were killed by the Reds. Over a score of Lamas were killed in the great Lam-ascry there, the rest escaped to the hills, andthe fine buildings were mostly destroyed by fire.
Two years ago it was the earth quake; this year it is Red invasion; surely the innocent hill people have Suffered more than they deserve. Many of them were trussed up like fowls, beheaded and thrown into to the wild mountain torrent only to [be carried down to Kuanhsien where the count was made of almost two hundred so we are creditably informed, Chengtu thas escaped the ravages of the Red hordes and now is more Peaceful and progressive than in many years past.
