Boxers Not Bothersome
Boxer difficulties having disappeared for a time at least, Dr. and Mrs.Harry Canright, Battle Creek missionaries at Chentu, West China, have settled down to their work on broader plans than ever. The Boxer uprising upset many of their plans as their hospital was partially destroyed, some of their leading helpers murdered, and they escaped death themselves only by hiding In an attic for several days while the murderous Chinese hunted for them. Dr. Canright has charge of a large new hospital, at Chentu, 2,600 miles up the Yellow river, where the Canrights have spent 15 years, during which four children have been born. In one day recently Dr. Canright gave treatment to 101 patients.
