               WEST CHINA MISSION            METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH [Map printed on writing paper as part of letter head shows Yangtse River delta from Chengtu to Shanghai]                      LEWIS F. HAVERMALE                         HOCHOW, SZE. [Letter handwritten]                   Jung chang, Sze.                          April 13, 1919. Dearest Mother and All. –   Clara has forwarded your letters to me and I have had several interesting periods reading them between times of work in this evangelistic campaign.  I am now at the point marked on the letter head (Jung chang) and nearer Chungking perhaps than to Tzechow.  We are having a great experience here, and one which is perhaps rather unique in China.  Mr. Peat secured special gifts at home which he used in Shanghai to have made a great canvas awning covering 4000 square feet.  This is used as a cover over the central court of a Confucian temple secured for the meeting through the influence of the city elders.  It will seat about 1800 people, and every night but one thus far, the benches have all been occupied.  Some nights, the crowd was estimated at 3000, all men.   The plan is similar to others which I have mentioned and described since the first year I was here.  At 7:30 AM. Breakfast.  At 8:30 AM a council and prayer meeting in charge of Dr. Spencer Lewis for the help of all the workers of whom there are approximately thirty.  Beginning at 9:30 A.M. and continuing until 12:30 P.M. the following services are held simultaneously: three street‐chapels where from four to eight men preach (in each one).  The dispensary, where Dr. Liljestrand treats women patients in the morning, and men patients until 5 P.M. in the afternoon.  Two workers, a man and a woman give Gospel talks to those waiting for treatment.  Mrs. Lewis and three Bible women teach the women at the church: Mrs. Peat, Miss Beatty, and two Bible women have a kindergarten for the children at the school‐house; Mr. Hooker and three Chinese colporteurs have various places for the selling of Bibles, religious helps and tracts.  Mr. Lawrence and I work in the chapels, although I have also tried to help Mrs. Peat by giving a chalk to the children after I have finished my work at the Chapel.   At 1 P.M. we all re‐assemble at the church for reports and suggestions for the improvement of the work or the methods of reaching the people.  At 1:30 Chinese dinner “en masse”[.]  At 2:30 P.M to 3:00 P.M., class in the new phonetic system of Chinese character writing.            

2. At 4 P.M. to 6 P.M. Song service and lecture by various persons.  On one afternoon the local Magistrate (the big man politically of the section) addressed us on Christianity as a help to the Chinese official.”     At 7:30 P.M to 9 o’clock the big evangelistic service is held in the tent with Mr. Peat as evangelist.  In all it is estimated that on market days (twice a week) we reach nearly 5000 people; and on the other days about 3000 by means of preaching and teaching, while altogether 60,000 tracts have been judiciously distributed.  The financing end of the enterprise 

is also being met by a special gift known as the Steward fund of a million or so dollars given for interdenominational use in China for evangelistic purposes.     Of course my part is scarcely important enough as yet to pay for my board.  It is my job in one of the Chapels to draw the crowd.  This is done by “small talk” in which I describe the various strange and wonderful things of America, a subject which delights every normal Chinaman.  One day I took up the material side of American life ‐‐ food, dress, houses and wages, and led it round to the point that because of our gratitude to God the giver of all we had come over here to help them know that God is alas their Father, anxious to help them into like good things.  The next day my subject was Chinese and American customs, “opposites” of course always being interesting, but speaking of America’s vote against alcoholic liquor, her laws against polygamy, etc. and closed with a reference to God’s commands; that while each nation had a right to its own customs and usages, we were all obliged to change immoral customs to conform to God’s laws.  Another day was given to America’s endeavor to make her country a place beloved, and prepare her people for citizenship; re. schools of all grades, vocational schools, schools for the blind, deaf‐mutes, orphans, etc.  Hospitals for ill and insane, reformatory and modern penitentiary practices; mothers’ pension, and workingmen’s compensation – all based on the Christian teachings.   Another day, the inns and hotels, homes, etc were compared with a word as to sanitation and hygiene.  After all these talks the Chinese preachers working with me “hitch on” and gradually preach the essential Christian doctrines.  The crowd changes of course only about fifty men staying               3. clear through, but we usually count on reaching at least 200 for one or more of the talks.   Well, enough of this.  We are enjoying ourselves immensely, and I only wish that Clara could have come down here also.  But the house had just been somewhat settled and she felt that she could do more good in the boys’ school helping than come down here.   On my return, I shall cut across country by the route indicated in ink on the letter head, so as to hold Quarterly Conferences as Dansandzen, Trenguchiao, and Yang shren.  This will cause me to be away from home on Easter Sunday and bring me back to Tzechow about April 28th.  So you see I’ll also spend your birthday either on the road or at Trenguchiao.  I think Clara has sent you the “souvenir spoon”, Chinese hand‐made out of dollar silver, which we bought for you at Chungking.  We have kept it in order to send it down to Chungking with Miss Penny for mailing – postoffice officials at Tzechow being untrustworthy about some things.  Hope you will enjoy it, and that it will be of as much help to you as other things sent you are reputed to have been.   By the way, Lucile, I wonder if I have ever told you that the pipe which I sent grandpa is not an opium pipe but a water‐pipe for smoking fine‐cut tobacco.  I will try to procure an opium pipe for you but I imagine it will be rather difficult to do.  Unfortunately, however, the Japanese importation of morphia into China in such quantities in open defiance of all laws and treaty stipulations, and the bringing of opium into Szechwan by Southern soldiers, is encouraging the resumption of the traffic.  In one of the back rooms of an inn where I stopped for dinner on the way down, I saw six or eight men lying on cots smoking opium.  Only the Southern soldiers handle it to sell, I am told.   

  I must not forget this time, Muzzy, to mention the clippings which you have enclosed from time to time, and to which I believe Clara has referenced in her letter to Canton.  I surely find them interesting,‐‐ especially that one referring to matrimonial sweets.   The one which you sent, Grandpa, referring to the purchase of wireless outfits for Central China was also gratifying.  I hope they soon get some out here in West China where I imagine they are worse needed, since we are both more shut off from               4. the rest of the world and could make more commercial use of them.  You will have to look again at that map, Mother, and you will find that Szechwan, although situated in Central China as related to North and South, is one of the three provinces farthest west, and extends to the Tibetan frontier.   Now there are a number more things I should refer to in your letters, but if I finish this letter before service time I must cut it short.  And I must say something about that Upper Iowa matter.  I surely told you in my letter asking for further particulars about interest that I was sending Dr. Dickman a draft for the remaining $200.00 so that last outside obligation is now cared for.  I did refer him to you for the interest in order that “compound interest might be saved in the time which it takes the notification to come and answer to be returned[“]. I never even dreamed that it would cause you so much embarrassment as it is wholly unnecessary.  It could have been arranged with the Board of Foreign Missions just as well.  As soon as I return, I will also send you an order for the interest and for the life insurance premium.  If you don’t mind sending me the number of my policy, I can also send instructions to the Company and to the Board to look after that matter for me  year by year and so relieve you of that.  They do this service for almost all of the missionaries, you know.   As to the justice or injustice of the Upper Iowa notice of insurance or the subscription made, I am afraid that you dear people don’t see the matter as I do.  Of course if I could have foreseen the way in which others would be involved in this matter – you, Mother – and Clara, I would have been slow about doing it.  But if there is any fault anywhere, I must take that responsibility.  I don’t regret the gift in the least.  If I hadn’t been so selfish in seeing debts or not, the things probably would have been cleared up before now.   Besides, Mother dear, remember your tendency to make us out heroes.  That is one reason we want you to come out here for a year.  You will live years longer because of the anxiety that would be saved you after knowing real conditions.  We have never been quite so “affluent” as now, and we would rather have you that year than any bequest which might theoretically be saved by staying in America.  It wouldn’t be a cent expense to you while here and not a cent more to us and we will be able to pay back that $200 borrowed from you to use on your return trip.  Don’t say No.  Love to all, From Lewis
