Scope and Contents

Showing four Europeans and fourteen Chinese men. All are identified beneath the photograph but the text is now very hard to read. Three of the Europeans were missionaries: Dr Grant, Rev. T.E. Sandeman, at Amoy 1892-1896, and George Wales. Wales left a stockbroker's office in 1890 to become a lay evangelist. Until 1893 he was at Chuan-Chow, moving to Amoy (Xiamen) where he remained until retiring in 1927. He was ordained in 1898 and his business training made him a valuable Secretary and Treasurer to the Mission, Edward Band, ‘Working his purpose out: the history of the English Presbyterian Mission, 1847-1947' (London, 1948) p. 424. The remaining European, Fagg/Fogg, has not been identified.
