Methodist Missionary Says It Will Take a Hundred Years of Hard Work to Civilize China, Tacoma, Wash., Oct, 28,—“It will take 100 years or more of hard work and*the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars to civilize south ern China.” This statement is made by Henry W, Huntsell, an M. E. mis- onary sent out by the Chicago mis- sion two years ago to the Chosong station in southern China, He is now on his way back to Chicago on ac- count of his health. “In southern China murder is as frequent as your meals,” Mr. Huntsell said. “It is called custom instead of crime. Na- tives have little or no morals. There is a marriage law, but it is only for the protection of male inhabitants. A southern Chinese woman, once married to a man, can never desert him. A man may have as many wives as he likes.
