Climbing Tai Shan and Mission Life in Shantung

The narrative recalls a five o clock ascent of Tai Shan in Shantung with four porters carrying the author and another four carrying Connely. It describes Pingtu mission schools, evangelism by Chinese Christians, and missionary work led by Wm. Sears, plus an old Boxer era Baptist preacher. It also notes foot binding in China, the emancipation of women through Gospel influence, famine in Shantung, and relief efforts by mission boards and Red Cross aiding millions.
