At a New York state missionary convention in Bennett Park Binghamton Rev Dr D W Lechure superintendent for alliance missionary work for Cina Japan and Thibet received a world renowned distinction. The Thibetan emperor granted him a unique passport to move through Thibet with access to holy cities and lands for two missions at Pao Ngan and Sa L Benng amid reports of growing converts. Lechure claims entry to Thibet not denied to whites since the Buddha lineage granted privileges and lifetime heirloom seals. He hopes to convert No Man Hang to Christianity and described Thibet as wild beautiful and dangerous with strict rules for foreigners and a holy city guarded by the throne pope of their religion. He noted Thibetan customs including polyandry and distinctive clothing and praised Thibet’s landscape and potential agricultural wealth. He plans to return to Thibet soon, aided by a Buddha friendship and a roll manuscript passport bestowed by the emperor.
