Since that time he has devoted his energies to all the routine, and drudgeries, and the thousand and one other things that a missionary has to do. He first had to learn one of the most difficult languages for a foreigner to acquire. At different times in his work he had to be printer, and pub- lisher, and translator, and interpeter, and preacher, and itinerant Christian worker, and teacher, and professor, ending up finally at the head of the theological seminary. He became a worthy successor of such men as Morrison, Williams, Bridgman, Hap- per, Lowrie, and others whose names are household words in missionary circles. Our own church cannot help but feel a pardonable pride in our miss- ionary record, having sent at least six missionaries into the foreign field, doubtless a record that is surpassed by few if any churches in the Synod upon some of the new movements of of Ohio. And we are more than proud of the record the same miss- ionaries have made, of which Dr. Noyes heads the list. In the introduction of one of his Monday lectures, Joseph Cook makes use of the following language. “In the Sistine chapel, at Rome, Michael Angelo has represented the creation of man, the picture exhibits a divine form floating in infinite space, and extending a hand toward the upraised hand of Adam. The man lies almost prone upon the earth. He is a body but not yet a soul, and, although the members of his form are complete, symmetrical, majestic, they do not yet feel their unity with each other. A spark passes from the divine forefin- ger to the suppliant, limp, passive hand of man, and the different mem- bers of his form are unified by the soul.” Then he adds in substance, Human- ity; is that body; the different nations are its members; the finger is God’s hand; and the spark is Christianity. The world embraces the body of hu- manity. But that body is not yet un- fied by a universal or cosmopolitan faith. It remains for Christianity as the instrument or spark in God’s hand of unifying these different and now discordant elements, by giving to them a soul which shall unite them in a living, active, universal faith and reliance upon the only living and true God. And our good brother whose mem- ory we revere to-day claims a share of our reverence and gratitude for the accomplishment of this great work. Truly his life and services give a practical illustration to us that “the field is the world.” Extracts From Letters From Mrs. J. G. KERR. Canton Jan. 22nd, 1914. My dear Sisters; Our precious brother is at rest in heaven. The mortal frame lies in its last dreamless sleep, the busy hands are folded and _ his speaking eyes are closed never to look upon us in this world. Only a little more than a week ago he said to me “If we go home in May it seems as though we will hardly have time to get ready.” I do not think he ever gave up the thought of going home. It was wonderfuf how his courage held out and his interest in everything about him and in everything pertaining to mission work continued until the very last. The community did not realize he was so near death nor did he. He was chosen president of the Medical Missionary Society at its annual meeting, the day before he died. It was suggested by one of the mem- bers that he was going home on furlough and the reply was, “That does not make any difference, we wish him for our pres- sident.” Dr. Boyd told him of this the morning of the day he died. I think it was only for an hour or two that he thought he would not get well. When William told him he was going soon he sent his good-bye to those he loved in America and to the Mission. After he had sent his good-bye in Eng- lish he spoke in Chinese but could not be understood. We watched by his bedside during his last hours, the doctor said he did not suffer pain it was utter exhaust- ion, not pain, the tired heart ceased to beat that was all and we could not tell the exact moment when the soul took its flight. Our hearts are full of thankfulness that God has given us such a brother to give back to him, a shock of corn fully ripe. We met his translator this morning at whose side he has worked for years and he broke down compietely and wept un- restrainedly. How the Chinese loved him! Canton, Jan. 23rd. 1914 Miss Harriet Noyes. Dear Ones at Home:— Today we have laid brother Henry to rest beside Richard whom he loved so dear- lv and they are together with the other dear ones in the Many Mansions of our Father’s house. This morning the casket was placed in the lower hall and hundreds of the Chinese have looked upon his face and the thought expressed was, he looks so happy, he looks as though he was in Heaven. A great many flowers have been sent in by friends and by the Chinese, wreaths and other designs, The Chinese sent the wreaths, many of them had colored flow- ers but the others were all white. A very large cross of white camellias and green leaves was given by his students and a beautiful cross was given by the True Light Seminary students. We procured white chrysanthemums and tied them with white ribbon and placed them on the casket with the cross from the Seminary. I brought from home a few heads of ripened wheat and tied them with ribbon the same shade and placed them in the casket. It seemed as though it would give him pleasure it he could know it for he loved the dear old place. The funeral services were held in the Memorial church the church was crowded and floral tributes were everywhere. The services were partly in English and partly in Chinese. Rey. J. J. Boggs and Rev. James M. Henry members of the faculty conducted the part in English and two of Henry’s former students Rev. Wong Yuk Shung our pastor in the second church, and Rev. Mo Man Ming professor in Fati college the part in Chinese. The services were beautiful and most impressive, every thing just as we would have chosen to have it. The cemetery is nearly five miles from the church but about six hundred went out there. The procession was such as has never been seen before people wondered who it could be who was being laid away with such honors. I wish you could have seen the procession as it came to the cemetery. We had gone out in chairs and could see them coming, the road was filled as far as you could see it. The students of Fati walked, some be- fore the casket carring six white banners like scrolls on which were inscribed the main facts of his life and work and the others followed. The casket was carried into the ceme- tery by six bearers—Rev. G. H. McNeur of the New Zealand mission, Rev. E. B. Ward of the United Brethren mission, both of whom teach in the Fati College, Rev. Mr. Nelson of the American Board, Rev. Mr. Pratt of our mission, and two Chinese pro- fessors in the college. A double male quartette sang “Saved by Grace.” It was a lovely quiet afternoon, the sun shone through the trees and all nature was at peace as we left the grave of our loved one covered with flowers. January 27th, I have sent you a cable- gram, “Henry passed away January twenty first.” I handed it in here at ten minutes to six this afternoon and if delivered prompt- ly you will receive it about noon. (The cablegram was received in Se- ville at 11 A. M. Jan. 27th.) Feb. 5th. The evening I sent the cablegram I sat up until midnight when I thought it would be sure to reach you. We know you received it and forward- ed it for the Board cabled back “Sympathy and prayers” which message we received Thursday evening, Jan. 29th. You now sorrow with us that we shall see his face no more and rejoice in the perfect happiness that we know is his. Memorial Services ^[in Seville] In Memory of Rev. Henry V. Noyes, of Canton, China A large and interested audience as- sembled in the Presbyterian Church last Sunday morning in observance of a memorial service in memory of Rev. Henry V. Noyes, D. D., of Canton, China, who went out from his church nearly fifty years ago, devoting his life and energies in the broad field of missionary work, and who passed peacefully to his reward a few weeks ago. The church was beautifully decor- ated with flowers artistically arranged by loving hands, as a token of friend- ship, affection, and good will toward the family now bereft of this loved brother, whilst the choir rendered very impressively the music that was used at his funeral services in China. The following biographical sketch, prepared by the. Rev. Arthur J. Brown, D. D., Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, was read: The death of Rev. Henry Varnum Noyes, D. D., of Canton, China, Jan. 21st. marked the passing from earth of a great figure in the Mission work of China. Dr Noyes was one of the veteran missionaries. He was born at Seville, Ohio, April 24th. 1836 and educated at the Western Reserve College and the Western Theological Seminary, having been graduated from these institutions in 1861 and 1865 respectively. In the early part of his senior year in the Seminary, Nov. 7th. 1864, he was appointed a foreign missionary, and a year after his graduation he married Miss Cyn- thia C. Crane, of Jackson, Ohio., and he and his wife set their face toward China. They had to make the jour- ney in a slow, uncomfortable, sailing vessel, with very few of the conven- iences with which such a trip can now be made, sailing Feb. 3, 1866, They were 110 days in “reaching Canton, a journey involving much hardship that can now be luxuriously made in 25 days. The conditions of life in China at that time were also trying. The young missionaries found a small group of associates and a comparative handful. of Chinese Csristians, and they had to live among a population then notorious for its turbulence and hostility to foreigners. Two years after his marriage he was bereaved by the death of his wife. The young missionary, however, applied himself to his work with great devotion. He studied not only the language, but the manners and customs and relig- ious conditions of the people. His ac- tivities were varied and in evry de- partment he showed himself a master mind. He was a diligent and success- ful evangelistic preacher of the gos- pel, doing abundant work of an apos- tle in sheperding the young churches and counselling the Chinese ministers and other workers. He became pro- foundly interested in educational work, clearly realizing that the church could never be established in China until it had an educated min- istry. He was therefore, foremost in developing upon the island of Fati in Canton, a group of institutions, which included an elementary school, a high school, an academy, a normal school, a Bible training school, and a theo- logical seminary. He was for many years the president of these institu- tions, and after they had attained a development which called for separ- ate admistration, he became president of the Theological Seminary, which post he held at the time of his death. He added to these multifarious labors a large amount of literary work. In collaboration with others, he prepared a Chinese Concordance of the New Testament, commentaries on a considerable part of the Old Tes- tament, and upon several of the books of the New Testament. He aided in the translation of the Old Testament and in the revision of the translation of the New Testament and he wrote scores of magazine art- icles. At various times during his life in China he identified himself with almost every movement for the Christian welfare and help of the Chinese. In February 1876, he married Miss Arabella Anderson, a member of the Siam Mission, with with whom he spent many happy years, and who survives him. Their union was blessed with two children, both of whom grew up to become missionaries. One, Richard V., died after a short missionary career which gave promise of large usefulness, and the other, Rey. William D. Noyes, is now a mem- ber of the Mission, and the principal of the boys’ Academy with which his father was so long connected. At the ripe age of seventy-eight, after half a century of conspicuiously useful service for Christ in China, Dr. Noyes was called to his heavenly home. He was one of the Old Guard in China, and only three of the large number of missionaries connected with the Presbyterian work in China are still living. He saw Christian work in South China grow from small to great proportions. and he was him- self one of the great factors in that growth. A man of conservative tem- perament, who looked with concern later date, he was also a man of large heart and generous sympathies. He was a kindly man, a consecrated man, a preacher, an educator, an author. a scholar, a man whose life was so in- terwoven in the development of the kingdom of God in the metropolis of China, and who was such a recognized leader in that development that the history of mission work in China can never be adequately written without reference to his large contribution to it. While the Board deeply mourns his departure from earth, it neverthe- less recognizes the divine fitness of things in translating to the larger and clearer life of the world to come, a man who has served his own gener- ation by the will of God with such eminent fidelity and success, and who having arrived at an age when bodily powers become feeble, and earthly life was beginning to be that of pain and weakness, was taken at the ripe age of nearly four score, full of years and honors. The Board makes rev- erent mention of its gratitude to God for such a life, and for a death which our Christian faith ought to consider a normal translation. The Board extends its deep sym- pathy to the bereaved widow and fam- ily and to the mission, which has lost the one who was regarded by every member as a 'father in Israel.” Sincerely Yours, Arthur J. Brown. The pastor of the church, Rev. C. F. Carson, then spoke at length, of which the following is a brief resume of his impressive words. “In view of the passing of this Christian mission- ary, whose biography we have just heard from one who has known him officially for so many years, I have thought it would be appropriate to consider as our theme—The field in which our brother was called to labor, and in the cultivation of which he spent his eventful life. Let us consider therefore these words from St. Matthew’s Gospel,— The field is the world—Mat. 13:38. To-day we meet 2 a memorial ser- vice in honor of one who was at one time an honored resident of this community and a faithful and devout member of this church. But years ago he became imbued with a larger vision and went out from us, that he might become more useful and even more honored in devoting the ener- gies of his life in the broader field of missionary work. Like the great apostle to the Gentiles, he must have asked himself, “Lord what wilt thou have me to do?” And like the same apostle he faltered not when the finger of Providence pointed to the foreign field. Willingly and promptly he sacri- ficed home associations, separated himself from the friends of youth, and took his departure to a foreign country, not knowing what might be- fall him there, whilst he was deeply impressed with the conviction that he might be the instrument in the hand of God, of bringing to a heathen people a knowledge of the gospel of the Son of God. In view of the character of the work accomplished by our departed brother, it seems to me that the text of Scripture I have announced is very appropriate to this occassion. And I am quite sure had he been consulted in regard to a service of this kind, nothing would have pleased him more than the exaltation of the work in which he was so deeply concerned and to which he devoted the energies of his life. Surely his consecration, his life, and his work, give to us an illustration in concrete form, that “the field is the world.” It was as late as 1858, or only eight years before Dr. Noyes entered upon his work, that the celestial Em- pire of China was actually thrown open to Christian evangelization and work. And who can say what the influences for good of his nearly fifty years of service has actually accom- plished, as he taught in the schools and preached in the chapels, and dis- cussed in the markets, the great truths of the religion of Jesus the world’s Christ. Perhaps in those years he had many converts to the faith. But that, great as it is in itself, is only small in comparison with the larger and more extended influence of these same converts, in an ever widening influence, until it permeates that whole region of the heathen word. In the past few years China has been thrown open to Christian influence as it never was before. Though at present that influence seems to be suffering under a partial eclipse, or a passing cloud, yet it is only seeming or temporary after all. And after the eclipse is over, and the cloud is past, the great Sun of Rightenousness with healing on his wings, will con- tinue to shed his rays of gospel light over that land, now bedarkened with superstition, and ignorance, the blighting of heathenism, and false re- ligion of every kind, and shine too with an ever brightening lustre, until the whole heathen world shall rejoice in the blessed radiance of gospel truth and the Christian can say of that land, as Isaiah said of the people of his day, “Arise, shine; for thy light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.” Our brother and fellow church member gave, nearly fifty years ago a practical response to this call of the Master. He with four other mission- aries set sail from their native land on the sailing barque, “Benefactor,” a vessel so small, and insignificant, and unseaworthy, as would not be + upon some of the new movements of 今天获准进入这样的航程。 110 天后，他带着不同的经历到达了目的地广州。自从 那一次他倾注了所有的精力 对所有的例行公事和苦差事， 一千零一个 传教士必须做的事情。 他首先必须学习最 外国人难学的语言 获得。在他的不同时期 他必须成为印刷商、出版商、翻译和解释者， 和传教士，和巡回的基督徒 工人，老师，教授， 最终排在首位 神学院。他成为了一个 这些人的当之无愧的继任者 莫里森、威廉姆斯、布里奇曼、哈珀、劳瑞和其他名字 在传教士中家喻户晓 界。 我们自己的教会不能不 为我们的错过感到可原谅的自豪- 离子记录，至少已发送 六位传教士进入外地， 无疑是一个被超越的记录 大会上的少数教会（如果有的话） 在一些新的运动 俄亥俄州。我们不仅仅是 以同样的记录为荣 ionaries 做了，其中博士。 诺伊斯位居榜首。 在介绍他的一位 周一讲座，约瑟夫库克让 使用以下语言。 “在 西斯廷教堂，在罗马，迈克尔 Angelo 曾代表创作 人，图片展示了一个神圣的 漂浮在无限空间中的形式，和 向举起的人伸出一只手 亚当之手。男人几乎说谎 俯卧在地球上。他是一个身体 但还不是一个灵魂，而且，虽然 他的形式的成员是完整的， 对称的，雄伟的，他们还没有 感受他们彼此的团结。一个 火花从神圣的食指传递给祈求者，软弱无力，被动 人的手，他的形体的不同成员由 灵魂。” 然后他在实质上添加了人性；是那个身体；不同的民族 是其成员；手指是上帝的 手;火花是基督教。 世界拥抱人类的身体。但那个身体还没有—— 由普遍的或世界性的 信仰。对于基督教来说，它仍然是 上帝的工具或火花 统一这些不同的和 现在不和谐的元素，通过给予 对他们来说，一个将他们团结起来的灵魂 以活生生的、积极的、普遍的信仰和 依靠唯一活着的和真实的 上帝。 我们今天崇敬的记忆中的好兄弟要求分享 我们的崇敬和感激之情 这个伟大的成就 工作。真正的他的生活和服务 给我们一个实际的例子 “田野就是世界”。 信件摘录 来自 J.

The celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Miss Noyes' arrival in Canton, China. The Chinese looked forward to the celebration for months before the time. I was constant- ly besieged to tell them what was pre- cious enough to give to their dear Miss Noyes. When told that she would not wish them to spend so much money for her, they said, "Oh, but we must--noth- ing is too good for her." Never have I witnessed greater enthus- iasm over anything than was manifested in their preparations to do honor to their beloved Miss Noyes. They took possesion of the lower rooms in our dwelling, and soon they looked like the apartments of an Egyptian princess, filled as they were with cut flowers. Every variety of Chrysanthemums and lovely roses being in evidence. The walls were covered with red and gold banners on which were embossed felicitous in- scriptions and the names of the donors. On the floor and leaning against the walls were beautiful panels incased in in- laid pearl frames. The table and piano were covered with costly gifts, conspic- uous among them were brass trays and bowls, silver articles, embroideries and bric-a-brac. In a neat little case was a medal from Governor Chue sent from Peking. When he was in Canton last year, he visited True Light and presented Miss Noyes with a large panel on which he wrote with his own hand, "Miss Noyes is the Pan Koo from beyond the seas who came to China to uplift her daughters." Pan Koo was a famous woman who did much for the women of her own country. The school wished to give Miss Noyes a dress worthy of the occasion, they pur- chased a beautiful gray flowerd satin with a faint tinge of green. Some of the former pupils said, "She must have a long fur coat to protect her from adverse winds, an umbrella to ward off rain and too much of the sun, and a camphor wood chest to pack away the things from moths." The very best of these articles were presented to her. A tailor was em- ployed to make the dress and coat and when they saw her arrayed in them on the days of the celebration their eyees glowed with satisfaction. My heart was deeply touched by the love showered upon her. It seemed em- inently fitting and lovely. It brought to mind the Centurion, who called Jesus to heal his servant, and the elders who he sent, said to Jesus that he was worthy for whom he should do this "for he loveth our nation and hath buit a us a syna- gogue." Miss Noyes has given her life to the women and girls of China. She has never spared herself. She is worthy of of their love and gratitude, and I was glad to see them pour it upon her without stint. [Note: In pencil Jan 14, 1868] Letters were sent out to as many of the pupils of former years as could be reached, inviting them to return for the celebration. One floor of the True Light building was set aside for their accommo- dation. It was truly inspiring to see their faces once more. No longer young and girlish but bearing the marks of deep experience along life's journey. Monday. Jan. 14th, the day Miss Noyes arrived in Canton (fifty years ago) a great meeting in her honor was held in the Second Presbyterian Church of Canton The auditorium was beautifully decorated with flowers, flags and banners. On the rostrum Miss Noyes sat be- tween representatives of the Chinese government and the United States Consul Keintzleman. Speeches from these gen- tlemen were interpreted by Rev. James McClure Henry. Mrs. San, who came to the school in its infancy and has been connected with it as scholar and teacher every since, gave history of its growth from year to year. Rev. William Dean Noyes was on the program for an address, but unfortunately was detained at home by sickness Many letters of congratulation were sent in and read to the audience. Miss Noyes responded in her happy easy way. The students then rose and sang. Have you never heard of True Light That's a shame, that's a shame If you never heard of True Light You're to blame, you're to blame Don't take a map for we're on the map We're here to prove it, what a snap. Oh, Miss Noyes is the founder Don't you know, don't you know Right in the city of Canton Yes it's so, yes it's so We learn to know and love our fellow men For Miss Noyes has taught us and she can. (This was modeled after a Mt. Holyoke song.) In the evening the grounds in front of our dwelling were packed with people to witness a play given by the students to represent the changes in the five decades. It was greatly appreciated. It seemed wonderful to me when I remembered that scarcely twenty years ago it was almost impossible to induce a girl to speak above a whisper and in dialogue they were stiff and unnatural. In this short time they have acquired ease, grace and re- sourcefullness. The evening closed with beautiful fire works. In one piece, a star Miss Noyes' face appeared. --- Second Day Jan. 15, 1918. Our school accompanied us across the Pearl River to our fine new building. The location is called "The White Crane's Nest." Our dear girls who left us to enter this higher grade welcomed us and showed us every attention into their power. It was a mutual joy to be together again After going over the building we sat down to luncheon. While partaking of lunch, lit- tle congratulatory speeches were made and twice the students rose and sang, songs in which Miss Noyes' name was mentioned several times. At 2 P. M. the large Assembly Hall was packed with students and guests. On the rostrum sitting at Miss Noyes' right and left were representatives from all the Christian Schools in Canton. The exer- cises consisted of speeches, songs and music discoursed by the band. One very beautiful song was the Alumnae sung to Miss Noyes. I have not the translation here, but the last lines were: "Hurrah, hurrah we are True Light scholars Miss Noyes, Miss Noyes." One woman in the audience was found to be one of the first four pupils who came to the school. There was also one of the second year’s pupils present. These two were brought forward to the rostrum amid deafening applause. From the second story verandas we witnessed a fine Calisthenic drill. The girls formed the figures 1868 the year of Miss Noyes’ arrival in Canton, and 1918 the present year. Standing in line they sang: 1868 that was the year she came 1918 she’s workiug just the same Half a hundred years has given her fame Oh who is she? and who is she? Miss Noyes is her name. Keeping in step they went thru the mo- tions of sowing the seed, watering it, weeding, harvesting it and gathering it in. This was intended to be symbolic of what Miss Noyes has done. They marched off the g ound to the music of the band in five rows. Each girl produced a square piece of paper which she carried over her head. The first row was red, the second row was yellow, the third row was blue, the fourth row was white and the fifth row was black. Thus was formed the Chinese national flag. As we watched them we recalled the time more than thirty years ago when we introduced calisthenics in the school. What hard, uphill work it was. At first the scholars refused to take them, and their parents said they were afraid it would loosen their bones. So we bided our time until common sense came to the rescue, and now behold the fruit of our labor. A most interesting feature of the after- noon’s exercises was the unveiling of the memorial tablet, presenting to the women of China the fine new building of the True Light, given by the generous donor in memory of her own and her husband's mother, Martha and Mary. The inscrip- tion on the beautiful tablet is in the words—"To the glory of God and in the memory of Martha M. Barber and Mary G. Marr of America. Who like Martha ana Mary of Bethany loved the Lord Jesus and strove to make their homes His abid- ing place. These two buildings are rected by a daughter, and hereby dedi- cated to the women of China.” It seems that new blessings must come to the True Light with the gift thus given by one of the Lord’s own in memory of two other chosen ones who have entered into their inheritance and are “ever with the Lord.” It was felt by all that it was a most hap- py addition to the pleasure of the occas- ion that Mrs. Barber’s niece, Miss Margaret Maun, was present and unveiled the tablet and in fitly chosen words, presented it to the women of China. The gift which we hope will mean so much in the future to China’s daughters was received in their name by Miss San a former student of True Light, and now a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College, and a member of the faculty of True Light. Thus ended two wonderful days, Janu- ary 14 and 15, 1918. One of the speakers said that a degree should have been conferred for fifty years of such service, but Miss Noyes said ofter- wards that the highest degree that the very highest institution could give would not be a thousandth paat as precious as these two davs and the memory of the love and appreciation expressed. We both thought of the Society at home which has kept so closely in touch with the True Light since its establish- ment in 1872. The True Light was one of the first special objects taken up bythe Mission- ary Society of Philadelphia. The first letter received from the foreign field by the Philadelphia Board in 1871 was from Miss Noyes telling of the plan to open the school for women and girls, and asking the Womens’ Board to take up the sup- port of the school, which they did, mak- ing the True Light Seminary one of the’ very first special objects of the Philadel- phia Board. This sketch would not be complete, if I failed to speak of the banquet given to Miss Noyes vy the Presbyterian Mission Tuesday evening, Jan. 18th. The tables were beautifully decorated with roses and lighted by candles only, They were set in the form of H. N. The missionaries long- est on the field were placed nearest Miss Noyes. The others marched in to music and sat down where they happened to be when the music ceased. They looked very pretty coming in. In front of Miss Noyes was a very large cake ornamented with flowers and fifty candles, Rev. James McClure Henry was Toast Master. There were many good stunts as the even- ing progressed and all united in pronoun- cing the banquet a grand success. At the close of our annual mission meeting Jan. 17th, Rev. James McClure Henry, the chairman, rose and said; “You will all, I know, unite with me in giving honor to the first lady in the land (applause) and wish to show your apprcciation of her many years of, faith- ful service.” He then on behalf of the mission presented to her a beautiful long silk quilted robe, expressing the hope that its warmth and comfort might often remind her of their affection fer her, Miss Noyes in response said that she had recently read of an occasion when some of Gen. Grant’s friends decided to give him a loving cup. They selected one of his friends. a comrade in arms, to pre- sent this gift. When the time came for the presentation, all gathered round, ex- pecting to hear some interesting reminis- cences, but the old soldier, taking the cup in his hand, said to the General, ---‘‘Here’s the cup," and the General responded with “Thank you.” Realizing that the time had come in the course of the Mission meeting when words should be few (applause), the dis- cussions had been unusually lengthy, she wished in a few words to say, how over whelming the many beautiful gifts received and kind words spoken, had been, and felt that they should be justly shared with others who had been asso- ciated with her in the work. She wished for each one of those present, fifty years of service on the Mission field, and that their fiftieth anniversaries might be as happy and frought with as many precious memories as her own had been.

Text Any textual data included in the document Dr. Wishart, Rev. Roney Conduct Miss Noyes Service The funeral service for Miss Emily Noyes was held in the First Pres- byterian church of Seville, Tuesday afternoon, conducted by the pastor Rev. Ernest T. Roney. Rev. William Dean Noyes, D. D., of Toronto, On- tario, a graduate of Wooster of the Class of 1900, a nephew of the de- ceased, read a Scripture lesson and spoke for the Noyes family. The father of the deceased was for forty years pastor of the Seville church. a brother and two sisters spent many years as missionaries in China. [Note: Page torn] Noyes expressed appreciation f many kindnesses and courtesie shown during the years by the people of the Seville community. Dr Charles F. Wishart, President of the College of Wooster, spoke as representative of the college. Miss Noyes was the first woman to re- ceive a degree from the College of Wooster, graduating with the Class of 1874. Miss Noyes was born in 1846. Dr. Wishart gave an interest- ing resume of United States history during the long life of the deceased. She was born when James K. Polk was president, was nineteen years old when Lincoln was assassinated. She saw the marvelous development of civilization during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Miss Noyes according to Dr. Wishart, was a re- presentative or symbol, of four lines of service. First, she stood for co- education in our colleges, being among the first women to receive equal education with men and full training for Christian service. Sec- one, she was a symbol of the true relationship to the manse, as a child of a minister, trained in the pastor's home for her work in the world. Third, she was a representative of the service of teaching. She found her place of service in the old Wadsworth academy and in the Sunday school where she gave her talents and knowledge to the ed- cation of others. Forth, she was a symbol of the missionary spirit and activity of the church. She was a soul-winner and she was most earn- est in promoting the missionary spirit in the home church, helping thus to uphold the workers abroad. Dr. Wishart expressed the full ap- preciation which the College of Wooster has in this first woman graduate. The pastor of the churchh, Rev [Note: Page torn] T. Roney, gave the story of the life of Miss Noyes, mentioning her many activities in the church and com- munity and he spoke a few minutes pon "The Joy of the Lord" upon the text, "Rejoice in the Lord al- ways, and agoin I say, Rejoice" -- Phil 4:4. It was an address of spir- itual instruction and comfort, calling attention to the joy which the Christian has both in life and in death and his hope of a blessed im- mortality. The pastor quoted por- tions of Tennyson's "In Memoriam." In the service, solos were sung by Mrs. Walter Rossell, Prof. E.J. Miller at the organ. The service was under direction of R. D. Armstrong.

Text Any textual data included in the document A Sad Loss. [Note: RICHARD is written in black pen] The following sad cablegram was received from Canton, China at the Noyes home last Friday afternoon containing the words "Richards funeral May 26." Many will remember Richard Noyes the bright estimable young man who while attending the University at Wooster spent his vacations at the Noyes home with his loving aunts. He was the youngest son of Dr. Henry Noyes now of China. The entire com- munity sympathise with them in this their sad affliction. The in- telligence received is so meagre as no further particulars can be re- ceived for thirty days. The fol- lowing lines were written several years ago by Dr. Henry Noyes, of Canton China father of the de- ceased and seems to be especially comforting to the sorrowing friends at this time: HE DOETH ALL THINGS WELL. He doeth all things well, ah yes In sorrow hour 'tis sweet to feel That He who hath all power to bless Is ever doing all things well. But my poor heart is sometimes weak, When troubles wabes around me swell And slow to hear the promise speak Of Him who doeth all things well. For darkness sometimes shades the light E'en when I know that all is well Clouds sometimes veil the sun though bright When falling tears my burdens tell. But soon the cloud has passed away, The "Bow of Promise" smiles on high "Strength shall be ever as thy day" Then every falling tear is dry. For all 'tis well, I know 'tis so The God that guards the sparrows flight, Will never let us sink so low, As not to see some promise bright. Too long His arm my weary head, Has born above afflictions waves For one to doubt the love He's said He gives the children whom he saves. Glad them my heart this truth declares Far as thy voice hath power to tell With matchless love and tender care, He doeth all things well. Word was received just before g ing to press that Mr. R. Noyes died of the plague which is spread- ing rapidly in that country. 可悲的损失。 [注：RICHARD 用黑笔书写] 以下悲伤的电报 从中国广州收到 上周五在诺伊斯家 包含单词的下午 “理查德的葬礼 5 月 26 日。” 许多人会记得理查德 诺耶斯是聪明可贵的年轻人 参加会议的人 伍斯特大学度过了他的 在诺伊斯家度假 他可爱的阿姨们。他是 亨利·诺伊斯博士的小儿子 现在的中国。整个社会都对他们表示同情 这是他们的悲哀。收到的情报如此微薄 三十天内无法收到进一步的细节。以下几行写了几行 多年前，亨利·诺伊斯博士， 广州中国死者的父亲，似乎特别 安慰悲伤的朋友 此时： 他把所有事情都做得很好。 他什么都做得好，是的 在悲伤的时刻感觉很甜蜜 那位全权祝福的主 总是把所有的事情都做好。 但我可怜的心有时是软弱的， 当我周围的烦恼波涛汹涌 慢慢地听到应许说话 凡事都做好的那一位。 因为黑暗有时会遮蔽光 即使我知道一切都很好 云有时会遮住太阳，尽管它很明亮 当眼泪落下时，我的负担告诉我。 但很快乌云散去， “诺言之弓”高高挂起 “力量将永远如你的一天” 然后每一滴落下的眼泪都是干的。 一切都很好，我知道是这样 守护麻雀飞行的神， 永远不会让我们沉得这么低， 至于不看一些许光明。 太长他的手臂我疲倦的头， 生于烦恼波之上 让人怀疑他所说的爱 他给了他拯救的孩子。 很高兴他们，我的心宣告了这个真理 只要你的声音有能力告诉 以无以伦比的爱和温柔的关怀， 他凡事都做得很好。 刚刚收到消息 将向 R.

Text Any textual data included in the document OBITUARY. Thursday evening, October 16, 1902, Edward P. Noyes, after long months of suffering fell asleep in Jesus, and Sab- bath afternoon under the beautiful sunshine of a perfect October day, all that remained to earth was laid to rest in Mound Hill cemetery beside the loved parents who have been sleeping there for many years. A large circle of sor- rowing friends gathered to pay the last tribute of love and respect in the church, where beautiful flowers expressed the love and sympathy of dear friends, and the draped organ, sorrow for the loss of the master's touch. Messages had been sent across the sea to anxious ones in China that they might be present in spirit. Loving tender hands bore him to his last resting place and sweet voices which in the past had so often joined with his in the songs of the sanctuary, sang once more for him the hymns he loved, "Rock of Ages," "Thy will be done," and "They are gathering homeward from every land," the music of the latter his own comp- sition. His present pastor, Mr. Sheeley, with Mr. Notestein by whom he was ordained as an elder, and Mr. Elliott who received him into the church, with the pastors of the other churches in Seville and Elder James Stoaks were present to share in the last services, and to testify to the beauty and strength of his Christian character and the value of his Christian work. To each of the pastors with whom he had shared in the care of the church he had been a constant friend, an able helper, a tower of strength. In his death the church loses a faithful elder, the session its clerk, the Sabbath School its Superintendent, the choir its chorister and organist, and the home its head and center. In all these different positions he had shown the same kind, gentle, unselfish spirit, and rendered the same faithful efficient service. Ever inclined, in lowliness of mind, to esteem others better than himself, only those who knew him best knew the beauty of his character. Ever ready to heed the call of duty, he considered the interests of Christ's kingdom before everything else, and responded promptly to every call for service, for as he sometimes said, "the King's business requires haste." His warm sympathy was ever given to those who were in affliction, and they were always remembered in his morning and evening prayers in the family circle, as were those in the community who had not yet accepted for themselves the blessing of salvation. His prayers and words of comfort, help, encouragement and instruction in the prayermeeting and in the Sabbath School will not soon be forgotten. Many earnest prayers from loving friends have gone up for him during these months and they are doubtless "Answered in God's own best way" and "Sometime we'll understand." Through the long, weary months of suffering which wore his life away no word of complaint passed his lips until made "perfect through suffering" he went home to be "forever with the Lord." Among his papers were found the fol- lowing lines written several years since, expressing his anticipations of the heav- enly home: There is a happy land Where God and Christ abide Prepared for all the saints For whom the Savior died. There they shall ever shine Bright as the noonday sun. When done with things of Time And life's short day is done. There is a promised land For all, who love the Lord, Who strive to do His will, Obey His holy Word. The Lord to each will say Abide at my right hand, Well done thou faithful one Enter the promised land. There is a holy land Where those that enter in Forever shall be free. From every taint of sin They shall be purified When passed from earth below, In Jesus' precious blood Washed whiter than the show. There is a blessed land Where there will be no night, There we will need no sun, For God will be the light.

[Note: Lois written in blue pen] The funeral services of Mrs. Noyes took place at the Presbyterian church on Sabbath afternoon last in the pres- ence of a large assemblage of neighbors and friends. Rev. J. C. Elliott, of Rittman, officiated. The following is the obituary which was read during the services: Mrs Lois Walker Noyes was born in Medway, Mass., August 6, 1810. She received her education at Brook- field, at that time an excellent school for girls. At the age of 17 she made a profession of her faith in Christ and united with the 2nd Congregational church of Medway, and for a number of years taught in the Sabbath School. It was in this work she formed the acquaintance of the young man, Mr. Noyes, the minister's student of theol- ogy, according to the old custom, and preparing himself for the full work of the ministry. When his studies were completed and he had come to Guilford and definitely determined to settle here, according to an arrangement previously made, she and her father came from the east to her sister's, then living in Wadsworth, where she be- came the wife of the Rev. Varnum Noyes, June 17, 1833, with whom she came to Guilford and united with this Church. While living in a cabin, as most of the settlers were, she was visited by her father in 1835 who encourages Mr. Noyes and assisted in building the house in which she died. It was at the time one of the best in these parts and has been a land-mark for over 50 years. She was the mother of four sons and six daughters. One son died at the age of 8 years at Medway, Mass. Nine lived to fill their places in the Church and in the world, for all pro- fessed their faith in Christ. Two daughters and one son have for years been engaged in mission work in China. One son-Frank-died in a blessed hope at the age of 37. Eight still live to be useful, and to comfort and stay the feeble steps of their aged father. Mrs Noyes was a faithful wife, a helpmeet indeed. She loved and rev- erenced her husband. She rejoiced in the love and honor bestowed upon him, and felt any slight or want of respect to him as keenly, or more keenly, than neglect of herself. She was devoted to her children and gave her strength to them from early child- hood until their education was com- pleted. Quietly she worked, late in the still night, to make them comfort- able, or to get them ready for another term of school. She was forgetful of self, finding her joy in the happiness of her husband, her children and her friends, entering into their plans and yielding her own wishes to gratify and please them. Her consecration and devotion to the kingdom of God was also of a most unassuming, retiring mourner. Taught in her childhood and accustomed so long to act a re- tired and quiet part, she did not come, perhaps, into full sympathy with the public, active and aggressive party wo- man is now taking in the Church; but she devoted her children to God; she trained them up in his fear; she was ready to give them up at his call, and wave them adieu as they left their home for distant fields of work, and then in quiet of her own closet thanked God for the privilege of hav- ing her children useful servants in the Master's kingdom. For fifty years and more she has been in this com- munity a faithful wife and mother, and a friend and helper in every good thing. She has done what she could. She has been adorned with good works." The funeral services were largely attended, and her remains were laid at rest in Mound Hill Cemetery. 讣告。 [注：Lois 用蓝笔书写] 诺伊斯夫人的葬礼 发生在长老会教堂 安息日下午最后一天—— 一大群邻居 和朋友。牧师 J. C.

Text Any textual data included in the document Closing Hours of the Life of Richard V. Noyes. His illness - malarial fever and bubonic plague - commenced on Sabbath afternoon May 22d, 1904. On the following Wednesday evening, about ten' clock alarming symptoms. He awoke from a quiet sleep with high fever and his mind wandering. From what he said in rational moments it seemed probable that he thought he might not recover though he did not say so directly. Once he said "The doctor says I must keep quiet for two days; that if I try to get up I will die." I replied "If you die you will go to heaven you know" "Oh yes" he said "I would go to heaven, but what about the work?" once he exclaimed with emphasis "God is love". Another time he broke out in a short earnest prayer perfectly rational beginning with "Oh Lord we thank Thee for this pleasant evening" and ending "Help us to serve the Lord Jesus Christ all the rest of our lives". When the doctors had given up all hope, and not long before the end, it was thought best to tell him plainly his condition, but without much hope that he would fully understand it. To our surprise however it seemed to restore him at once consciousness, and very soon he said "Father I am thinking now of that hymn you like so well" My Heavenly home is bright and fair". Shall I sing it to you I said. He said "Yes". I sang it through and then asked him "Do you feel that Jesus loves you and is precious?" "Yes He is precious very precious" was his reply. He then said that he wished to leave a special gift for his mother, named it and said "Will knows whereit is", then, turning towards her while a sweet smile played over his countenance, earnestly and lov[--o--]ingly came vhe part- ing message "Let not you heart be troubled". Looking towards his brother he said "If I am going good-bye Will". Then he sent his farewell to relatives in China and the United States, naming the place where we live". He continued "Tell the Fati scholars to serve the Christ whom I have tried to serve" Tell them that I have enjoyed very much the few months that I have been with them" "Tell them that I joined the church here in China, and that I would rather be buried in the Canton cemetery than any other place in the world" He went on to say in the Chinese language "Jesus [u]loves[/u] China, and He wants you to love Him more than you love yourselves, more than you love your families, more than you love your friends". Call Will he said and then asked him to find on his desk an unfinished letter to one of his old scholars in Honolulu, finish and send it. He had written his portion of the letter in the midst of his feveron Monday morning. Then he said "Write to Schorger and Porter and tell them to [u]cling close to Christ[/u]". Richard V.

Her father was past of the Pres. Ch. for forty years. She was graduated from Vermillion Inst. in 1865. For four years she taught in the High School of Ashland, O, and for four years more in Cleveland and Columbus. In April 7th 1873 she was commissioned by the Board and assigned to South China, arriving on the field Dec. 8th 1873. Her first term was given to teaching, being associated with her sister Miss Harriet N Noyes. After her first furlough she was married John G. Kerr, M.D. and she entered with whole-souled interest into the medical work of her husband. She was deeply interested in the spiritual welfare of the hospital patients, devising better methods for their instruction with blessed results. Dr. Kerr had long desired to establish a hospital for the insane; there was no such institution in all of China. Beginning modestly with a single dispensary, they were able at last to erect two buildings for this purpose. "Feb. 20- 1898 a party [Note: In blue] 2 3 consisting of the doctor, a man carrying on his back an insane patient, followed by the wife of the doctor, stood at the door of one of the buildings, a key was inserted and the door opened, and for the first time in the history of China a mind diseased was to receive special hospital care." Thus was begun - "The John G. Kerr Hospital for the Insane." which has served all classes from high officials to street beggars. About 7.000 patients have been treated, of whom 25% have been cured. Following Dr Kerr's sudden death on Aug 10, 1901, Mrs. Kerr continued to make the work of the hospital her chief aim in life. She was concerned for the financial welfare of the Institution. It was Dr. Kerr's desire that the main support should come from the Chinese themselves and this policy has been practically carried out. Mrs. Kerr wrote in 1923: "we can now, on the 25th Anniversary Year of the "John G. Kerr Hospital for the Insane" [Note: In blue] 3 4 hand it over in trust to the Board practically free of debt." The soul saving work of the hospital was, in Mrs. Kerr's mind, its most important service. It was to her a great joy that the Shanghai Conference could say, "We consider that as evangel- listic agency the John G. Kerr hospital is unsurpassed." On her 50th Anniversary as a missionary, in Dec. 1923, Mrs. Kerr was Honorably Retired from active service and received felicitations from many friends expressing deep appreciation of her long years of service which with such prayer, sacrifice and forethought were coming to full fruition. Dr. J. Walter Lowrie wrote "What changes and advances you have been permitted to see in this half century." No one can know the influence which the loving kindness expressed daily in the Hospital for the Insane had had throughout Canton and far beyond. The whole spirit of the institution is so different from anything that China has produced, and is a testimony to the power and wonder of the grace of the God in the gift [Note: In blue] 4 5 of His Son to China, and such self sacrificing work as this, which is the natural fruit of that gift." Dr. Sun Yat Sen expressed his gratification" to learn that you attain today the great age of 84 years, and sends you his best wishes and in the name of our people, thanks you for the good work that you have done in our midst." On the 85th birthday Mrs. Kerr wrote: "Life is too uncertain to prolong business matters. I am getting my house in order so I hope there will be no trouble in store for those who are left responsible for any of my interests. It is a blessed thing to live [u]a day at a time[/u] - not take on the cares and anxieties of tomorrow. The promise is "[u]As thy day[/u] so shall thy strength be no tomorrow included. If we carry tomorrow's burden it must be in our own strength, and that is weakness" And a year later in the midst of the distractions and perils of the strained South China situation she wrote "Am going on [u]a day at a time[/u] know that the time is short, that my feet are very near the [Note: In blue] 5 6 threshold of Heaven. The spiritual song "Just as I am without one plea" tells the whole story. My hope of entering in to be forever with the Lord is all expressed in those verses "Only a sinner and nothing at all, Jesus, my Saviour is all in all." Mrs. Kerr positive and virile character that she was, depended humbly upon prayer: "You dear people at home can never know what it means to us to feel that prayer in the homeland is constantly going up for us." And thus in the midst of the distractions and uncertainties of life in Canton these past months, she could write "Perhaps it is well our eyes are holden that we cannot see the end thereof, But we know who is at the helm and we cannot be afraid." It was in this trust and in this spirit that Mrs. Kerr finished the voyage of life. Her work well done, she goes to "Higher Service" humbly trusting in Jesus Christ her Master. 7 To the family of Mrs. Kerr, to the South China missionaries and to her many friends, the Board cannot offer condolence but rather congratulations on their association with this rare spirit and in that another strong bond draws them and us all nearer to that Heavenly Home where she has entered in to go no more out forever. All must rejoice in her eighty six years rounded out with mind clear, heart warm and true, faith strong and hope abounding. With long life she was satisfied and was shown God's salvation.

The subject of this sketch, Harriet Newell Noyes, was born in Seville, Ohio, on March 5, 1844. Four brothers and a sister were in the home to give her welcome. The three- year old sister distinctly remembers climbing up on a chair at the bedside to get a glimpse of the new treasure. Her father, after completing his theological course in Massachusetts, went out in 1832 as a home missionary to the far west, which at that time meant anywhere beyond the state of New York. He settled at the edge of the above-mentioned town which was made up of groups of log cabins occupied mainly by families from New England. Here he founded before long a Presbyterian church consisting of thirteen members which continues to this day. The second church building stands upon the same spot on which the first was erected, a plot given by the pastor. The first parsonage was a log house. It was a new experience to his wife to be transferred from her beautiful home near Boston to a log cabin in those western wilds and to have the care of a minister's household and the duties of a pastor's wife at the early age of twenty-two. Two years after her marriage her father visited her and forthwith arranged to have 'a proper house' put up for her, patterned after those in the east. It was so solidly built that it is still the family household. The house stood on a slight elevation and the ground sloped attractively to the street. To the west the outlook was upon a forest of magnificent trees; noble elms, maples and walnuts. When the little girl grew old enough to appreciate it, she delighted in watching the buds of spring unfold into the luxuriant leafage of summer, followed by the brilliant tints of autumn. When the frosts came she rejoiced in the beautiful snow covering that weighed down their branches. Between the woods and the house lay fields and pastures where she used to enjoy watching her father's cows and -2- horses. When she was about four years old she asked her mother if she could go and watch her brother milk the cows and her dimpled face shone with pleasure when this permission was granted. Clad in her little red cloak with hood to match, hands encased in warm mittens, she clasped her brother's hand and tripped out in the snow to the barn and stood beside him while the interesting process went on. The cows were not accustomed to children and her brother feared she might get hurt but she was not at all afraid and after this watching the milking was a pastime of which she did not tire. Later came a second request: "Oh, may I go out to see Brother harness the horse?" She went and her ac- quaintance with horses began. Not long after this she was discovered chattering to this same horse who was standing unhitched in the yard, while she circled about in dangerous proximity to his heels, and he looked on with mild satisfac- tion. Needless to say, however, the two friends were speedily separated. As she grew older she was always ready when opportunity offered, to go driving with her father or brothers. Naturally it was soon, "Oh, please, please [Note: second "please" is italicized] let me drive!" The reins would change hands and under her father's tutelage she became a proficient pupil. She learned the use of every strap and buckle in the harness and very seldom in after life got into a carriage without making sure that the harness was all in order. As a driver she could always keep the line of direction towards a given point and so she was not likely to get lost on her travels. She had a correct eye, good judgement and self-control. A single instance will illustrate her power of self-control in an emergency. Her father once had a restive young horse with the bad habit of pricking up her ears and rushing down hill at a furious pace. Hattie was driving the horse one day when she was with her sister. They were going along leisurely until they came to the top of a long hill. As usual, the animal took in the situation at once and the occupants of that carriage were started at express speed down the in- cline. Bracing her feet against the dashboard she threw -3- all her weight upon the reins, her sister meanwhile clinging to the seat to escape being thrown headlong into the street. People rushed out of the houses shouting "A runaway! Stop that horse!," but fortunately no one attempted the impossible task. The village at the foot of the hill was left far in the rear before the horse resumed his usual gait. Hattie took her seat again with the air of a conqueror. She had held on. That was a trait of her character through life --the power to 'hold on.' About half a mile from their home was the school-house where she made her first entrance into school. The building consisted of one large room supposed to accommodate all the pupils who belonged to the district. In the center a post rose from floor to ceiling and the first thing the little new- comer was told was that this was where the teacher tied up little girls when they were naughty. Having hitherto been accustomed to being told the truth, in her innocence she believed this story implicitly and her trusting little heart was immediately assailed by the fear that she might do something naughty and have to be tied up! During the next six years she came and went learning what she could in an ungraded school where the teachers as a rule were changed every six months. She was an attractive child and won the good will of her teacher and classmates and also the reputation of being the best speller in the school. Now and then in the afternoon a spelling match was held in which all the pupils took part. Two leaders were chosen and all the children stood in the line of the leader who had selected them. The spelling then proceeded until each having missed, all were seated. It was in these contests that Hattie won her laurels. While she was still at this little school she became a Christian; she expressed her wish to become a missionary before she was nine years old. These two decisions, so far from interfering with normal interest in all that went on about her, only added a zest to whatever she undertook. After leaving this school she went to the Seville Ac- ademy. The first evening after school began she said at the -4- tea table that the teacher had given his pupils a motto con- sisting of two words which, if practised, would be a blessing to them through life and carry them through to life eternal. After fruitless efforts on their part to guess this motto she told them that it was "Be careful." "But I am going to take 'Do right,' which I think is a better one," she said. Years afterward, when referring to this she affirmed, "My motto is [Note: "is" is italicized] the best!" An aptitude for mathematics and accounting which she developed at the Seville Academy served her well in after years in her work as a teacher and an administrator. She enjoyed her studies, her associates and also the games and sports which filled up the hours of recreation, and was always ready to work out a conundrum or unravel the my- steries of a puzzle or tell a good story. Not the least of the acquisitions of those early years were the many friends by whom she has been loved and remembered, though for many decades they have been separated form her by thou- sands of miles of land and sea. After finishing her work at the Academy she went with two brothers and a sister to Vermilion Institute in western Ohio. Her father secured for them the use of a cottage near the College "just big enough for four and no more." Into this the quartette moved with a modest equipment of household furnishings, including a violin and a bass-viol! For three years student and home-life went on here in com- bination. No elaborate housekeeping was indulged in and nothing but substantials found a place on their dining-table. The object with all was to secure as much time as possible for study and they were a unit in working towards that point. At the same time it was a great happiness to all be together. In the first year she took first honors in an algebra class of thirty-two, thirty of whom were lads from fifteen to twenty years old. The boys were greatly astonished when their grades were read. "We never thought that little girl could do that" was their comment. It was not all work here however. One day happening to be with a group of students at a photograph gallery she said suddenly, "Shall I dress up as an old lady and have my picture taken?" There was a -5- shout of approval at which she disappeared to reappear presently with a little shawl across her shoulders, a black close-fitting knitted hood tied under her chin with strings, and an umbrella. She sat down in an old-fashioned rocking- chair, threw her shoulders forward, drew down her chin, clasped her umbrella with both hands and had the picture taken. It is safe to say that no one could have recognized her. At the end of three years she returned to the old manse. The Civil War had just broken out. A northern and a southern army had been called into being and were in active service. Hattie was an ardent patriot. She loved her country and her heart was torn at the thought of the fathers, sons and brothers of divided households who had not only to give up their loved ones but to see them in arms against one another. Her sympathies went out towards the soldiers and she longed to go into a hospital to serve as a nurse or in some capacity where she could do something for them. Her opportunity came but in an unexpected way. The Government decided to establish diet kitchens near their hospitals in order that the sick and wounded soldiers might have suitable food prepared under proper supervision. The Northern states were divided into eastern, middle and western departments, each presided over by a superintendent chosen by the Government and holding the rank of Major-General. Three women were selected for these important posts and each had full command over her department. One of her duties was to supply each kitchen in her territory with a com- petent corps of workers. Mrs. Whitemeyer, the superinten- dent of the eastern department to which Ohio belonged, issued a call asking people to send in the names of those they could recommend as suitable persons to take part in this work, who would enter heart and soul into it. Miss Hattie Noyes was thus brought to her notice with the result that she and a dear friend, the niece of Dr. Happer the senior missionary at that time of the American Presbyterian Mis- sion in Canton, were sent down together to Point of Rocks, -6- five miles from Richmond, where a hospital with a capacity for 1,200 patients was located. They found the building for the kitchen and an adjoining one for their own accommodation very temporary structures. It would be necessary to 'rough it' but the two friends were quite ready for anything. Mrs. Whitemeyer came down the next day to give them their instructions; Miss Noyes was put in charge of the kitchen and twelve men were detailed as her assistants. Each morning a physician from the hospital gave her directions, prescribing three kinds of diet. The number to be served by each helper was recorded and the work of the day began. Her first step was to take a careful survey of her domain and it was not long before she had the whole conduct of that kitchen reduced to such perfect systems that each one of her twelve helpers knew just what he was responsible for and just what he was expected to do. In writing home she reported "I have a Baptist minister washing dishes." Later it was revealed that he was a colored brother. An outside force was employ- ed to carry the food to the patients. Each carrier was delegated to his own window where he was to come for his supply, and all the utensils used to carry this supply were put under his charge. He was to bring them back in order for the next meal and hang them under his especial window, to be on hand when needed. This prevented any delay or confusion when dispensing the meal. Her comradeship with her helpers, her taking it for granted that they were as interested as she in having every- thing done in the best way, her efforts to make everything conduce as far as possible to their comfort, and above all her readiness to help out anywhere, won their confidence and devoted service. One day when she was afraid the dinner would be behind time and was rushing back and forth hurrying up matters, she passed and repassed two gentle- men standing in an alcove. One of them called out "Is your name Martha?" Without looking back she replied "No, my name is Harriet" and forthwith was out of hearing. She learned afterwards that the one who spoke to her was Major- -7- General Grant who was on a tour of inspection through her kitchen. She had an opportunity here to exercise her skill in making out accounts. The Government required full reports from those in charge of the Diet Kitchens. The statement was made by those in Washington whose duty it was to examine these reports, that "for neatness, clearness and freedom from errors, the reports sent in by Miss Noyes were without a rival." Later, during her missionary life, she often said, "I should so like to be Mission Treasurer so as to be able to make out the accounts." She was once chosen by her mission for that office and the recommendation was sent home to the Board but it was not ratified as they feared that these outside duties would be too taxing for a woman to undertake. One circumstance at the very commencement of her connection with this diet kitchen had a telling influence upon her life. The first afternoon after Mrs. Whitemeyer's arrival a young officer called upon Miss Noyes. Mrs. Whitemeyer who was sitting in an adjoining room could not avoid hear- ing their conversation. In referring to her work she heard Miss Noyes say "I have never engaged in such work before and do not know how I shall succeed." After her visitor's departure, her friend called her and said, "Never tell anyone you cannot do a thing! If it is given to you to do, do it!" In referring to this only a short time before her final depar- ture from China she said, "From that day to this I have never feared the face of anyone." It was a turning-point in her life. The end of the war marked the close of another stage in her life. She returned home with the cherished hope that the next move would be to the foreign field; but nearly three years elapsed before the way opened for her to carry out this purpose formed so many years before. In February 1866, her brother with his bride left New York in a sailing ship bound for Canton, China, by way of Cape Horn--a three month's voyage. They went out full of hope and enthusiasm, looking forward to a long life of usefulness, but within nineteen months her brother's wife died of tuberculosis. When this news reached New York, -8- Miss Noyes was immediately appointed as a missionary and sailed soon afterward with Dr. Kerr and his family who were returning from furlough. They went south to Panama where they crossed by rail, thence by steamer to San Francisco where they waited ten days for a Hong Kong boat. Upon their arrival in Canton, January 14, 1868, it was a shock to find her brother seriously ill. Her coming, however, was just the tonic he needed for these two had always been remarkably congenial, and in time he was restored to strength and vigor. It was a great joy to both that they could live and work together. As soon as possible she began the study of the language. There was, of course, no language school in those days; instead of directing the lesson, the teacher asked the pupil what he or she would like to study. Her teacher considered that he was losing caste by teaching a woman; he had always been told that they were stupid and could not learn. Six hours a day they spent together while she was getting a working knowledge of the language, a task she accomp- lished in a comparatively short time to her teacher's sur- prise! Her musical ear was a great help in acquiring the correct use of the tones, and a retentive memory helped to fix the names of the commonest characters, for the learn- ing of the many thousands of characters of which the lang- uage consists is a feat not fully accomplished by the wisest of their own scholars. Her text-books were the Bible written in classical style (for only the four gospels had been translated into the Cantonese colloquial), Bible stories from the Old and New Testaments, and two smaller books-- "Peep of Day" and "Come to Jesus." Her domestic voca- bulary was obtained chiefly in dialogues with her cook! It is not strange that a young missionary struggling six hours a day with the intricacies of this language, said to be the most difficult to acquire of any in the world, should give a sigh of relief when at four o'clock her teacher dis- appeared. After the strain it was necessary to do some- thing in the way of exercise. Croquet was the popular game in those days, and one of her first purchases was a -9- set of balls, mallets and arches which of course had to be made to order. On the croquet ground everyone was wel- come, and after study hours it became the rallying-place of those who wanted to drive all thought of Chinese characters and idioms into the background. "We almost always had one or more come in to take tea with us afterward," Miss Noyes said. "We told stories and often had music; these evenings put us in good condition for the work of the next day." Her interest in music has already been referred to. She was able to make good use of this gift, first as leader at the services held on Sunday at Dr Kerr's home and later in her school work. Dr. Noyes and his sister both earnestly desired to engage in direct evangelistic work in some region which the gospel had not yet reached. They asked to be trans- ferred for this purpose to Fat Shan, where the Presbyterian Mission was just gaining an entrance, a city now only an hour's distance from Canton by rail but then quite remote. The Board, however, did not concur in the plan and it was decided to retain them in Canton. As there were at this time no women's boards in the Presbyterian church, Miss Noyes' official correspondence was at first confined to the secretaries of the general board. She felt more and more, however, as the first single woman to be sent to South China, that Christian women in America should come into closer touch with the work and workers on the foreign field. In a letter to her senior secretary she enclosed another in which she wrote at length regarding her views and feelings upon the subject. She asked him to forward this letter to any person or group who might be interested in its contents. It thus found its way into a meeting composed of ladies belonging to the First Presby- terian Church of Philadelphia, who had been called together for the purpose of forming a Women's Missionary Society "to raise funds and pray for missions." The letter was read and before the meeting closed the society was formed and Miss Noyes was adopted as its missionary. The foundation -10- stone had been laid for the life long correspondence between "my ladies" and "our Miss Noyes." The first mission work she undertook was to organize and superintend day schools for girls. These she visited twice a week, hearing the pupils recite and holding a prayer- meeting with them and such of the neighboring women as could be induced to attend. In one of these meetings a woman who sewed for a shop asked if she could bring her sewing to the meeting. After a moment's hesitation the missionary replied, "Yes, bring your sewing and you may sew all the time expect when we are praying to our God: then you must stop." The next week the woman came again bringing several friends with her, each carrying her little bundle, and the sewing and prayer-meeting went on in com- bination. In 1871 the Presbyterian Mission decided to open a boarding school for girls and a training school for women. Miss Noyes was invited to take charge of these, the first schools of their kind to be established in Canton. She had a good hold of the language, she was somewhat acquainted with the customs and ideas of the Chinese women and girls with whom she had been associated, and her day schools had given her experience in teaching and supervision. She also had the power of putting herself in the other person's place, a gift that proved especially important in the new under- taking. Two other teachers had now come to join her-- Miss Shaw and Miss Happer. These three "Faith, Hope and Charity" as they were called, were one in spirit and interest in the project. They prayed earnestly that teachers and pupils be sent to the new school and Miss Noyes her- self felt that those who applied had been sent in answer to these prayers. The school opened in 1872 with seven girls and three women. A contract had been made with each family represented by the seven girls that the pupils were to be supported in full by the school, all purchases to be made by the Superintendent; the agreement was for three years. If at any time a pupil was withdrawn by her family they were to refund all expenditures. A student who was not -11- amenable to the rules was, after due trial, to be dismissed. The object of these arrangements was to hold the pupil long enough to really benefit by her studies and it proved an effective measure. In 1873 Dr. Noyes and his sister were joined by another sister appointed by the Board to help in the work of the school. Soon after this the school met with a disaster in the loss by fire of the neat, comfortable school building. Miss Noyes wrote to the Women's Missionary Society who were standing behind her, of the break-up of the school and of the scattering of the girls and women to their homes. "Miss Noyes is a beautiful beggar," one of the ladies of the society wrote. They responded by sending out funds to replace the loss. Another building went up on the old foundation and before many months the pupils returned, delighted to be back. Three years later the school had grown so large that it demanded more room. The old quarters on Sha Kei were large enough for the beginning of a boys' boarding school, but the girls' and women's school had completely outgrown them. So the call was again sounded and again the funds were forthcoming. A vacant lot on the mission compound at Kuk Fau beside the Canton Hospital was appropriated for this purpose, where, since the plot was rather small, it was decided, in order to make the greatest possible use of it, to put up a three-storey building. There were no houses of that height in the city at that time, except pawn-shops. The Chinese were afraid to build so high lest the spirits to the air should be disturbed and perhaps retaliate. How- ever the venture was made, not without some misgivings. The only indication of concern that was noticed however was the appearance of an earthenware cock on the roof opposite, stationed there in order to keep watch upon the offending structure. Miss Noyes herself drew up the plans for this building. The contractor and workmen were rather dubious about being directed by a woman but the clearness of her plans, her knowledge of details and her ability and judgment won -12- their confidence in the end. When the work was finished they summed up their opinion of her by declaring "Miss Noyes can do anything." She had some narrow escapes. One day while crossing a bridging plank on the third storey she felt it slipping and only saved herself by a quick spring across the opening. An instant later the plank crashed to the ground. It was a red letter day when the building was dedicated. The Viceroy sent his representative to the cere- mony; other officials appeared in official costume; business men, teachers and many friends, both foreign and Chinese. assembled to see this imposing edifice which was only a school for girls and women! After speeches of congratula- tion and expression of good wishes and hope for future prosperity, the visitors were taken through the building and then dispersed, leaving a weary but happy group of teachers behind them. Quite a contrast with the opening of the modest building with its ten pupils in 1871. One of the rooms in the new building was set apart as a prayer-room. It was the only room where a pupil could close the door and be alone. It was always open for anyone who wished a quiet place for thought and prayer or for a serious talk with a companion. This was only one ex- pression of Miss Noyes' thoughtfulness for the well-being of others. Her time, strength, talents and funds were poured out as a free-will offering for these women and girls who had access to her every hour during the twenty-four. During these years a number of changes took place in their circle. Her brother was married and in 1881 her sister left on furlough. In the autumn of that year Miss Electa Butler came out to join them. Miss Butler intro- duced calisthenics into the school and would have liked to establish a kindergarten department, but the Board did not see their way clear to encourage the idea. Miss Noyes' sister, soon after her return, was married to Dr. John G. Kerr, surgeon in charge of the Canton Hospital. The first move toward self-support in the school was the charge of one dollar as an entrance fee; later it became a dollar at the beginning of each term. The pupils thence- -13- forth furnished their own books and before long their cloth- ing as well. Applicants increased until it became difficult to receive them all. Parents at last were ready to under- take the entire support of their daughters if the school would take them in. As time went on some of the former graduates came back as teachers and became valuable mem- bers of the staff. Text-books which had been translated into Chinese were now available; new studies were intro- duced into the curriculum, including the teaching of English. Music had long been on the list; the care of the organs used in practise and teaching was one of the principal's many duties. She studied the anatomy of organs enthusiastically until she could take them apart and put them together again--could find out the trouble and remove it. The enlarge- ment of the school, henceforth known as "True Light Semi- nary" meant increase of care and responsibility for the two ladies in charge. Not one of their girls could go into the street alone lest she be kidnapped. In case of fire this had to be thought of too in case it should be necessary to leave the compound. There was still greater danger when for various reasons excited crowds would collect in the vicinity. More than once mobs have poured into the narrow street separating the hospital from the school and have beaten on the gates demanding entrance. On one such occasion Miss Noyes went down to see what could be done. "As I descended the stairs," she said afterward, "I turned and looked back thinking it was not likely that I would ever as- cend them again, but I did not feel afraid." They found it wise to keep a dress and small satchel ready in case of emergency, but though they twice had to prepare for flight, on both occasions help arrived on time. While the school continued to grow in size and pro- gramme, it steadily maintained its evangelistic work. A Sabbath School was formed in 1872 consisting of all ten of the original members of the school. As no lesson helps were available, Miss Noyes was obliged to write out a list of questions each week, have them translated into Chinese and copied in sufficient numbers to supply the constantly -14- growing number of teachers and students. The teachers themselves had to be trained for this special work of Bible teaching. And constantly she prayed with her pupils both individually and in groups. In later years a Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor was formed and carried on in line with those at home. This was in charge of Miss Butler who was also interested in the school missionary society which undertook the support of a Bible-reader. As years passed True Light Seminary again outgrew its borders. A division of the students was made in 1915, part crossing the river to Paak Hok Tung where the True Light Middle School was organized. The alumnae of the school are now scattered far and wide over the province, engaged in various forms of Christian work. From the Christian homes they have founded a second generation has come into the school. In 1917 the fiftieth anniversary of Miss Noyes' arrival in China was celebrated. On the evening of the fourteenth of January the Presbyterian Mission held a banquet in her honor. So radiant she was that evening and so lightly the years rested upon her that again and again friends exclaimed "Who to look at her would think she had been fifty years in China!" January fourteenth was spent at the Seminary and the next day at the Middle School, child of the Seminary. The throngs which gathered on both occasions were com- posed largely of her women and girls. Hundreds of her girls were there who had become the wives of pastors, evangel- ists and teachers; many were themselves engaged in teaching, nursing and medicine. Scores of Bible-women were present, trained in the old school but serving now not only under the Presbyterian Mission but in every mission represented in Canton. During the exercises on the 15th a member of the class of 1872 who was present, was conducted to the plat- form where Miss Noyes greeted her warmly. When the two turned with grasped hands towards those who were there assembled they received a salute that thrilled the heart of everyone present. As in imagination Miss Noyes saw again -15- that original band of ten and then looked into the happy faces of so many of her former pupils, everyone of whom loved her and had a part in her love, her countenance bore the impress of a happiness and peace born not of earth. The third was an "At Home" at True Light Seminary, spent in receiving calls from those who had come to the city to be present at the anniversary. It closed with a feast and left "Noh Koo Neung's Jubile" a rose-colored memory in the hearts of all. There were those present who remembered that Miss Noyes' brother also had almost completed fifty years of mission service. At the time of his death it was in fact fifty years since his appointment, but the Civil War claimed him for service as a chaplain so his actual term in China was forty-eight instead of fifty years. Soon after her anniversary Miss Noyes went home on furlough. It was a happy circumstance that the Jubilee of her society in Philadelphia occurred while she was there. This was not a small gathering that could be housed in the church to which the society belonged but a vast concourse of delegates and friends from every department of the mis- sionary activities of the women belonging to the Northern Presbyterian Church. It was held in the huge Academy of Music and those who were there will never forget the part of the programme that showed in dramatic form the story of the early days of True Light Seminary. All the parts were well taken and the young woman who impersonated Miss Noyes had formerly been a teacher at the school, so the representation was life-like and convincing. When at the close of the scene, Miss Noyes herself was called to the stage, every one in that vast audience rose to her feet by common impulse. "They did not do it for me," she said when the General Assembly that year offered the same tribute, "but for the work's sake." The close of her furlough found her back in Canton. She had grown much thinner while at home and her whole appearance indicated a decline in health, but in response to all solicitous inquiries she constantly maintained that she felt -16- perfectly well. She was finally induced, however, to consult a physician who had known her for thirty years and in whom she had great confidence. This friend discovered an internal trouble which she was convinced was inoperable and incurable btu she felt that it was best not to cloud her remaining years by letting her know the gravity of her situation. She there- fore gave her some general medical advice and Miss Noyes left feeling that there was nothing seriously wrong. She felt, nevertheless, that it would probably be best for her to return to America, so during the months that followed she busied herself "trying to get everything done before leaving China." The Seminary was now under the direction of Mrs. Law, a former pupil and teacher at True Light, and Miss Noyes was satisfied that she was leaving it in competent hands. She had already published her "Light in the Land of Sinim," her story of the school. For almost a year she was able to work on and she finally had everything in order for her departure. It seemed as if the Chinese could not let her go. Their visits were constant and she gave herself to them without reserve. On the fifteenth of May 1923, accompanied by her life- long friend Miss Butler, she stood on the Hongkong boat as it drew away from the wharf where friends had thronged to say farewell. A month later they reached Seville where she spent a comfortable summer and had the pleasure of meeting many friends from far and near who came to visit her in the old home. A few days before sailing she had said to her sister, "I have always wanted to go home and be buried in our family lot, but I wish to have only this on my stone, "Awaiting His coming." She did not know how soon her wish would be fulfilled. In October her strength began to fail. Her last ounce of energy was used in putting the finishing touches to the manuscript of her "History of the South China Mission" which she had written at their request. After writing a letter in regard to its publication she laid down her pen for the last time. She had wanted to live a little longer with her sisters "But if I do go," she said, "you will know that I am ready." Everything that medical skill and loving care could do to prolong the precious life -17- was done but the call had come and on the fifty-sixth an- niversary of her arrival in Canton, the golden gates were opened and she entered in to be forever with her Lord. M.N.K. "So gently, tenderly, Death came for thee, Thou didst not see his face, so kindly veiled; Not as the King of Terrors, but instead, The messenger of a loving father, sent To guide thee safely to thy home in Heaven." H.N.N. (Extract from a poem written by Miss Noyes in memory of her father.) -18- [u] BY A FELLOW-MISSIONARY. [/u] In every mission community there stand out a limited number who by virtue of certain characteristics impress strongly and helpfully all those whose lives they touch. It was perhaps her large vision, her unquenchable faith, her devotion to her Master and to her work, and her belief in the power of life that so marked out Miss Noyes. Her influence upon the women and girls she taught, to quote one of her friends, was not unlike that exerted by Archbishop Leighton of whom it was said, "Those for whom he was responsible did right not because they were afraid to do wrong, but because they were ashamed to." Those who worked for her or under her felt the weight that her words carried and respected her. Kind and courteous always, she nevertheless was firm in bringing offenders to book. "Oh," sighed one of her friends "to have her grace in scolding!" Charm was hers in large measure; graciousness, sincerity, dignity, a seriousness touched with humor, instant sympathy. Her in- telligence impressed people but the sunshine that radiated from her enfolded them. The younger missionaries looked up to her and loved her, but those with whom she had walked down the years were bound to her with bands that neither life nor death can break. She understood the Chi- nese and they understood her and rightly estimated her, for she kept the 'balance of the virtues' to quote Dr. Pearce, which the Chinese prize most highly. Her life was seen with growing clearness as the years passed to reflect more closely than most lives do the qualities which Confucian moralists join to praise yet too often find impossible of attainment. We rejoice that to-day hers is the 'joy un- speakable' and the 'life more abundant;' that she is face to face with the Savior she loved, abiding in that Light which for long years shone steadily through her--'a light in the land of Sinim.' J.M.M. -19- BY MRS. LAW. (Lau Sam Sz). Miss Noyes' work is widely known, as several thou- sand alumnae are its evidence. So I will not here speak of her achievements but instead will tell of her as I knew her. She was full of kindness to everyone, patient, industri- ous, unselfish, very humble and yet always dignified. The students all feared and respected her and yet loved and followed her as their dear mother. One declared that even though Miss Noyes should punish her she would bear it gladly, knowing that the punishment would certainly be just. Although she was stern toward wrongdoing she was slow to reprove and always ready with forgiveness for those who truly repented. "Bad temper," she said, "is the be- setting sin of good and energetic people. From this they must escape." In the early days of the school the new teachers did not know how to carry responsibility, so that all the over- sight fell upon her, including all details of land and build- ing, curriculum, staff, examination of applicants and graduates, class-room and dormitory discipline, as well as all her own household affairs. I remember, for example, her coming around the dormitories every night at nine o'clock when lights went out, to ensure the peace and quietness that would otherwise have been missing, and then making rounds in the school-room where she opened each desk, closing it again when neatly arranged, but laying some article upon any that were untidy. The following morning those who found their desks so marked were admonished without words, and greater care was in this way secured. She was always very neat herself in her personal dress, never leaving her room until entirely presentable, one of many instances of her skill in teaching by example. In patience, too, she set a notable example, for although she had many trials in the early days of the school, she never complained; even those nearest to her never heard her mention her troubles. -20- There was one real respect in which she reminded us of our Lord himself. Many of the women who came to the school in the old days had bound feet. To these Miss Noyes showed endless kindness, loosening their feet, bath- ing, annointing and bandaging them herself. In earlier days there were many slave girls in Canton and not a few of these owe their rescue to her and their education and later training in some trade or profession that enabled them to fill a useful place in society. Miss Noyes had a wonderful memory, seldom forget- ting a name or face even after many years. Though she lived to an advanced age she never grew old. One did not hear her repeating herself; to the young she always seemed young also. On any occasion she could speak interestingly on almost any subject owing to her readiness of expression and her surprising fund of information. The Bible was a favorite gift of Miss Noyes. On the day she left Canton she presented over a hundred copies. It was characteristic that this should have been her last gift as well as her first to the women of Canton. At the Alumnae Memorial meeting, at the time when news of her death reached Canton many of those present advocated erecting a bronze statue to her memory; but the majority felt that to carry on the beloved work in her wonderful spirit would be the best and most enduring memorial. "To be appreciated by the living is better than to be commemorated in stone."

作者是认识她的人。 这幅素描的主题是 Harriet Newell Noyes， 于 1844 年 3 月 5 日出生在俄亥俄州的塞维利亚。 四兄弟和一个姐妹在家中欢迎她。 三岁的姐姐清楚地记得爬到床边的椅子上一睹新宝藏的风采。 她的父亲在马萨诸塞州完成神学课程后， 于 1832 年作为家庭传教士前往远西地区， 当时这意味着纽约州以外的任何地方。 他定居在上述城镇的边缘， 该城镇由主要由新英格兰家庭居住的小木屋组组成。 不久， 他在这里建立了一个由十三名成员组成的长老会教堂， 一直延续到今天。 第二座教堂建筑与建造第一座教堂的地点相同， 这是牧师指定的地块。 第一个牧师住宅是一个木屋。 二十二岁就从她美丽的波士顿附近的家中搬到西部荒野的小木屋， 照顾牧师的家庭和牧师的妻子， 这对他的妻子来说是一种全新的体验。 在她结婚两年后， 她的父亲拜访了她， 并立即安排为她建造一座“像样的房子”， 仿照东方的房子。 它建造得如此坚固， 以至于它仍然是家庭住所。 房子建在一个轻微的高度， 地面向街道倾斜， 很吸引人。 西面是一片茂密的树林。 高贵的榆树、枫树和核桃。 当小女孩长大到可以欣赏它的时候， 她欣喜地看着春天的花蕾展开到夏天的茂密树叶中， 然后是秋天的绚丽色彩。 霜降时， 她为压在树枝上的美丽积雪而欣喜若狂。 在树林和房子之间是田野和牧场， 她过去常常在那里欣赏她父亲的奶牛和-2-马。 当她大约四岁的时候， 她问她的母亲是否可以去看她的兄弟挤牛奶， 当她得到这个许可时， 她那张酒窝的脸上高兴地发光。 她披着红色的小斗篷， 戴着与之相配的兜帽， 双手戴着温暖的手套， 握着哥哥的手， 在雪地里跌跌撞撞地跑到谷仓， 站在他旁边， 有趣的过程还在继续。 奶牛不习惯孩子， 她的兄弟担心她会受伤， 但她一点也不害怕， 此后看挤奶是她不厌其烦的消遣。 后来又来了第二个请求：“哦， 我可以出去看看哥哥套马吗？”她去了， 开始认识马。 不久之后， 人们发现她正和那匹未拴在院子里的马闲聊， 而她在危险的附近盘旋着， 靠近他的脚后跟， 他略显满足地看着。 然而， 不用说， 这两个朋友很快就分开了。 随着年龄的增长， 她总是随时准备好与父亲或兄弟一起开车。 自然是很快， “哦， 请， 请[注：第二个“请”是斜体]让我开车！”缰绳易手， 在父亲的指导下， 她成为了一名熟练的学生。 她学会了如何使用安全带中的每一个带子和扣环， 并且很少在以后上车时没有确保安全带是否完好无损。 作为一名司机， 她可以始终将方向线保持在一个给定的点， 因此她不太可能在旅途中迷路。 她有一双正确的眼睛， 良好的判断力和自制力。 一个例子将说明她在紧急情况下的自我控制能力。 她父亲曾经有一匹脾气暴躁的小马， 有个坏习惯， 就是竖起耳朵， 狂奔下山。 有一天， 海蒂和她姐姐在一起时正在骑马。 他们悠闲地往前走， 直到来到一座长山的顶端。 像往常一样， 那只动物立即接受了情况， 那辆马车上的乘客开始以极快的速度下坡。 她的双脚支撑在仪表板上， 她将-3-所有的重量都放在了缰绳上， 同时她的妹妹紧紧抓住座位， 以免被一头扎到街上。 人们冲出房屋， 大喊“逃跑！拦住那匹马！”但幸运的是， 没有人尝试完成这项不可能完成的任务。 山脚下的村子在马恢复往常的步态之前， 已经被远远地甩在后面了。 海蒂带着征服者的神情再次坐下。 她坚持住了。 这是她一生的性格特征——“坚持”的力量。 离他们家大约半英里的地方是她第一次进入学校的校舍。 该建筑由一个大房间组成， 该房间应该容纳属于该地区的所有学生。 在中心， 一根柱子从地板上升到天花板和小新来的第一件事就是老师在小女孩顽皮的时候把他们绑起来。 一直以来都习惯于说真话的她， 天真无邪的她含蓄地相信了这个故事， 她那颗信任的小心脏立刻被她害怕做坏事被绑起来的恐惧所侵袭！在接下来的六年里， 她来来往往在一所未分级的学校学习她能做的事情， 那里的老师通常每六个月更换一次。 她是一个有魅力的孩子， 赢得了老师和同学的好感， 也赢得了全校最佳拼写者的美誉。 下午不时举行一场拼写比赛， 所有学生都参加了比赛。 选出了两位领袖， 所有的孩子都站在选出他们的领袖的队伍中。 然后拼写继续进行， 直到每个人都错过了， 所有人都坐下。 正是在这些比赛中， 海蒂赢得了桂冠。 当她还在这所小学校时， 她成为了一名基督徒。 她表达了在九岁之前成为传教士的愿望。 这两个决定， 远没有影响对她所发生的一切的正常兴趣， 只是为她所做的一切增添了热情。 离开这所学校后， 她去了塞维利亚学院。 放学后的第一个晚上， 她在-4-茶几上说， 老师给他的学生一个由两个词组成的座右铭， 如果实践的话， 将成为他们一生的祝福， 并将他们带入永恒的生命。 .在他们猜测这句座右铭但徒劳无功之后， 她告诉他们这是“小心”。 “但我会选择‘做对’， 我认为这是一个更好的选择， ”她说。 多年后， 当她提到这个时， 她肯定地说， “我的座右铭是[注：“是”是斜体]最好的！”她在塞维利亚学院培养的数学和会计方面的天赋在她多年担任教师和行政人员的工作中得到了很好的帮助。 她喜欢她的学业、她的同事， 也喜欢那些填满娱乐时间的游戏和运动， 并且随时准备解决一个难题或解开谜题的奥秘或讲述一个好故事。 早年的收获中， 最重要的是她所爱和铭记的许多朋友， 尽管几十年来， 他们与她相隔数千英里的陆地和海洋。 在完成她在学院的工作后， 她与两个兄弟和一个姐妹一起去了俄亥俄州西部的朱红学院。 她的父亲为他们争取到了使用学院附近的一间小屋， “刚好够四个人住， 不能再多了”。 四重奏搬进了这个房间， 带着一些普通的家用家具， 包括小提琴和低音提琴！三年来， 学生和家庭生活结合在一起进行。 没有精心的家政服务， 他们的餐桌上只有一些重要的东西。 所有人的目标是争取尽可能多的学习时间， 他们是朝着那个方向努力的一个单位。 同时， 大家在一起也是一种莫大的幸福。 第一年， 她在 32 人的代数班中获得第一名， 其中 30 人是 15 到 20 岁的小伙子。 当孩子们看到他们的成绩时， 他们大吃一惊。 “我们从没想过那个小女孩能做到这一点”是他们的评论。 然而， 这并不是所有的工作。 一天碰巧和一群学生在一家照相馆里， 她突然说：“要不要我打扮成老太太拍照？”随着一声-5-的赞许， 她消失了， 不久又出现了， 肩上搭着一条小披肩， 下巴下面系着黑色贴身针织帽， 还有一把雨伞。 她在老式摇椅上坐下， 双肩前倾， 下巴垂下， 双手撑伞， 拍了张照片。 可以肯定地说， 没有人能认出她。 三年后， 她回到了老宅。 内战刚刚爆发。 一支北方和一支南方军队已被征召并正在服役。 海蒂是一个热心的爱国者。 她热爱自己的国家， 一想到分居家庭的父亲、儿子和兄弟不仅不得不放弃他们所爱的人， 而且还要看到他们相互交战， 她的心就被撕裂了。 她对士兵表示同情， 她渴望去医院担任护士或以某种身份为他们做点什么。 她的机会来了， 但以一种意想不到的方式。 政府决定在他们的医院附近建立饮食厨房， 以便在适当的监督下为伤病士兵准备合适的食物。 北方各州分为东、中、西三省， 各由政府推选的总督主持少将的。 三名女性被选为这些重要职位， 她们都完全掌控着她的部门。 她的职责之一是为她所在地区的每个厨房配备一支称职的工人队伍。 俄亥俄州所属东部省的负责人怀特迈尔夫人发出了一个电话， 要求人们以他们可以推荐的合适人选的名字来参加这项工作， 他们会全心全意地投入到这项工作中.哈蒂·诺伊斯小姐因此引起了她的注意， 结果她和一位亲爱的朋友， 当时美国长老会在广州的高级传教士哈珀博士的侄女， 一起被送到了岩点， -6- 距里士满 5 英里， 那里有一家可容纳 1， 200 名患者的医院。 他们发现用于厨房的建筑物和用于自己住宿的相邻建筑物是非常临时的结构。 有必要“粗暴”， 但两个朋友已经为任何事情做好了准备。 第二天， Whitemeyer 夫人下来给他们下达指示。 诺伊斯小姐负责厨房， 十二个人被指定为她的助手。 每天早上， 医院的医生都会给她指点， 开出三种饮食。 记录每个助手要服务的人数， 然后开始一天的工作。 她的第一步是对她的领地进行仔细调查， 不久之后， 她就将厨房的整个操作简化为如此完美的系统， 以至于她的十二个助手中的每一个都知道他的职责和身份预计会做。 在写信回家时， 她报告说：“我有一位浸信会牧师在洗碗。 ”后来发现他是一个有色人种的兄弟。 使用外力将食物运送给患者。 每个搬运工都被委派到他自己的窗口去取货， 所有用来运送这些物资的器具都由他负责。 他要把它们带回来准备下一顿饭， 然后把它们挂在他特别的窗户下， 以备不时之需。 这防止了分发餐点时的任何延迟或混乱。 她与她的助手们的友谊， 她理所当然地认为他们和她一样有兴趣以最好的方式完成每件事， 她努力使每件事都尽可能地有利于他们的舒适， 尤其是她愿意提供帮助走出任何地方， 赢得了他们的信任和热忱的服务。 有一天， 她怕晚饭来不及， 来回匆匆忙忙忙忙忙忙的， 从壁龛里又经过了两位先生。 其中一人喊道：“你叫玛莎吗？”她头也不回地回答说：“不， 我的名字是哈丽特”， 立刻就听不见了。 后来她才知道， 和她说话的是格兰特少校--7-将军， 他正在参观她的厨房。 她有机会在这里锻炼她的会计技巧。 政府要求饮食厨房负责人提供完整报告。 声明是由华盛顿负责审查这些报告的人发表的， “为了整洁、清晰和没有错误， 诺伊斯小姐送来的报告是没有对手的。 ”后来， 在她传教期间， 她常说：“我好想当传教司司库， 好能算账。 ”她曾被她的使团选中担任该职位， 该建议已送回董事会， 但未获批准， 因为他们担心这些外部职责对女性来说过于繁重， 无法承担。 在她与这个减肥厨房建立联系的一开始， 有一个情况对她的生活产生了明显的影响。 怀特迈耶夫人到达后的第一个下午， 一位年轻的军官拜访了诺伊斯小姐。 坐在隔壁房间里的怀特迈尔夫人无法避免听到他们的谈话。 在谈到她的工作时， 她听到诺伊斯小姐说：“我以前从未从事过这样的工作， 也不知道如何才能成功。 ”客人走后， 她的朋友打电话给她说：“千万不要告诉任何人你不能做的事情！如果是让你做的， 就去做吧！”在她最后一次离开中国前不久提到这件事时， 她说：“从那天到现在， 我从来没有害怕过任何人的脸。 ”这是她人生的转折点。 战争的结束标志着她生命中另一个阶段的结束。 她怀着对下一步行动将是到外国领域的宝贵希望回到家中；但近三年过去了， 她才打开了实现多年前形成的这个目的的道路。 1866 年 2 月， 她的兄弟和他的新娘乘坐一艘开往中国广州的帆船离开纽约， 途经合恩角——为期三个月的航程。 他们满怀希望和热情走出去， 盼望着长命百岁， 但在十九个月内， 她哥哥的妻子死于肺结核。 当这个消息传到纽约， -8- 诺伊斯小姐立即被任命为传教士， 不久之后与休假归来的克尔博士及其家人一起启航。 他们向南到巴拿马， 在那里他们乘铁路穿过， 然后乘轮船到旧金山， 在那里他们等了十天， 等待一艘香港船。 1868 年 1 月 14 日， 他们抵达广州后， 震惊地发现她的兄弟病重。 然而， 她的到来， 只是他所需要的补品， 这两个一直都非常的相投， 而他也及时恢复了元气和活力。 他们能一起生活和工作， 这对双方来说都是一件非常高兴的事。 她尽快开始学习语言。 当然， 那时还没有语言学校。 老师没有指导课程， 而是问学生他或她想学什么。 她的老师认为他教女人是在失去种姓；他总是被告知他们很愚蠢， 无法学习。 每天他们一起度过六个小时， 而她正在学习该语言的实用知识， 令她的老师感到惊讶的是， 她在相对较短的时间内完成了一项任务！她的音乐耳朵对正确使用音调有很大帮助， 记忆力有助于确定最常见字符的名称， 因为学习语言所包含的数千个字符是他们自己的学者中最聪明的人并没有完全完成这一壮举。 她的教科书是古典风格的圣经（因为只有四福音书被翻译成粤语口语）、新旧约圣经故事， 以及两本较小的书——《窥视》和《来到耶稣。 ”她的国内词汇主要是在与她的厨师对话中获得的！一个年轻的传教士每天要在这种错综复杂的语言中苦苦挣扎六个小时， 据说这是世界上最难掌握的语言， 当她的老师在四点钟的时候松了一口气， 这并不奇怪。 出现了。 劳累过后， 有必要做一些运动。 槌球是当时流行的游戏， 她第一次购买的是一套 -9 套的球、木槌和拱门， 当然这些都是必须定做的。 在槌球场上， 每个人都受到欢迎， 下课后， 这里成了那些想把所有汉字和成语的思想都抛到脑后的人的集结地。 “之后我们几乎总是有一个或多个人进来和我们一起喝茶， ”诺伊斯小姐说。 “我们讲故事， 经常听音乐；这些晚上让我们为第二天的工作做好了准备。 ”她对音乐的兴趣已经被提及。 她能够很好地利用这份礼物， 首先是作为周日在克尔博士家中举行的服务的领导者， 后来在她的学校工作中。 诺伊斯博士和他的妹妹都热切地渴望在福音尚未到达的某个地区从事直接的布道工作。 为此， 他们要求被转移到肥山， 长老会在那里刚刚进入， 这座城市现在距离广州只有一小时的火车路程， 但当时相当偏远。 然而， 董事会不同意该计划， 并决定将他们留在广州。 由于此时长老会教堂中没有妇女委员会， 诺伊斯小姐的正式信件起初仅限于总委员会的秘书。 然而， 作为第一个被派往华南的单身女性， 她越来越觉得美国的基督徒女性应该更密切地接触外国领域的工作和工人。 在给她的高级秘书的一封信中， 她附上了另一封信， 详细说明了她对这个问题的看法和感受。 她要求他将这封信转发给任何可能对其内容感兴趣的个人或团体。 因此， 它进入了一个由费城第一长老会的女士组成的会议， 她们被召集在一起， 目的是组建一个妇女传教士协会， “为传教筹集资金和祈祷”。 这封信被宣读了， 在会议结束之前， 协会成立了， 诺伊斯小姐被选为传教士。 为“我的女士们”和“我们的诺伊小姐”之间的终生通信奠定了基础-10-。 她承担的第一项传教工作是组织和监督女子走读学校。 她每周去这些地方两次， 听学生背诵， 并与他们和附近的妇女举行祈祷会， 这些妇女可能被诱导参加。 在其中一次会议中， 一位为一家商店缝制的女士问她是否可以把她的缝纫带到会议上。 犹豫片刻后， 传教士回答说：“是的， 带上你的缝纫机， 你可以一直缝纫， 除非我们向我们的上帝祈祷：那么你必须停下来。 ”接下来的一周， 那个女人又带着几个朋友来了， 每个人都带着她的小包裹， 还有缝纫和祈祷会议继续进行。 1871年， 长老会决定开设一所女子寄宿学校和一所女子培训学校。 诺伊斯小姐受邀负责这些学校， 这是在广州建立的第一批此类学校。 她的语言掌握得很好， 她对与之交往的中国妇女和女孩的习俗和思想有所了解， 她的走读学校给了她教学和监督方面的经验。 她也有能力把自己放在另一个人的位置上， 这一天赋在新事业中被证明是特别重要的。 现在又有两位老师来和她一起——肖小姐和哈珀小姐。 这三个被称为“信仰、希望和慈善”的项目， 在精神和利益上合而为一。 他们热切地祈祷老师和学生被送到新学校， 诺伊斯小姐自己觉得那些申请的人是为了回应这些祈祷而被派去的。 这所学校于 1872 年开学， 当时有 7 名女孩和 3 名女性。 与由七个女孩代表的每个家庭签订了一项合同， 学生将由学校全额资助， 所有购买均由学监负责；该协议为期三年。 如果学生在任何时候被她的家人退学， 他们将退还所有费用。 一个不-11-遵守规则的学生在经过适当的审判后将被开除。 这些安排的目的是让学生有足够长的时间真正受益于她的学习， 这被证明是一种有效的措施。 1873 年， 诺伊斯博士和他的妹妹与董事会任命的另一位姐妹一起帮助学校的工作。 不久之后， 学校遭遇了一场灾难， 整洁、舒适的教学楼被大火烧毁。 诺伊斯小姐写信给站在她身后的妇女传教士协会， 讲述学校解散和女孩和妇女散落到家中的事。 “诺伊斯小姐是个漂亮的乞丐， ”该会的一位女士写道。 他们的回应是派出资金来弥补损失。 在旧地基上建起了另一座建筑， 几个月后学生们回来了， 很高兴回来。 三年后， 学校变得如此之大， 以至于需要更多的空间。 沙箕上的旧宿舍足够开办一所男子寄宿学校， 但女子和女子学校的规模已经完全超出了它们的规模。 因此， 电话再次响起， 资金再次到位。 为此目的， 在广州医院旁边的 Kuk Fau 传教区的一块空地被占用， 由于地块很小， 为了最大限度地利用它， 决定建立一个三-高层建筑。 那时， 城里除了当铺外， 没有这么高的房子。 中国人不敢建这么高， 以免空中的精神受到干扰， 甚至可能遭到报复。 然而， 冒险是如何进行的， 并非没有一些疑虑。 然而， 唯一引起关注的迹象是对面屋顶上出现了一个陶制的公鸡， 驻扎在那里以监视有问题的结构。 诺伊斯小姐自己制定了这座建筑的计划。 承包商和工人对由女性指挥颇为怀疑， 但她的清晰计划、她对细节的了解以及她的能力和判断力最终赢得了-12- 他们的信心。 工作完成后， 他们总结了对她的看法， 宣称“诺伊斯小姐无所不能”。 她有一些险些逃过一劫。 有一天， 她在穿过三楼的一块桥板时， 感觉到它在滑倒， 只是一个快速的弹簧穿过开口才救了自己。 片刻之后， 木板轰然倒地。 这座大楼投入使用的那天是一个红字日。 总督派他的代表出席仪式；其他官员穿着正式服装出现；商界人士、老师和许多中外朋友。 聚集在一起参观这座仅是女子学校的宏伟建筑！在致贺词和表达对未来繁荣的美好祝愿后， 参观者被带进大楼然后散去， 留下了一群疲惫但快乐的老师。 与 1871 年这座拥有十名学生的简陋建筑的开放形成了鲜明的对比。 新建筑中的一个房间被分开作为祈祷室。 这是唯一一个学生可以关上门独处的房间。 它总是对任何希望有一个安静的地方进行思考和祈祷或与同伴进行认真交谈的人开放。 这只是诺伊斯小姐关心他人福祉的一种表现。 她的时间、力量、才能和资金作为自愿奉献倾注给这些在二十四岁时每个小时都可以接触到她的妇女和女孩。 在这些年里， 他们的圈子发生了一些变化。 她哥哥是妈妈1881 年， 她的姐姐开始休假。 那年秋天， 伊莱克塔·巴特勒小姐出来加入他们。 巴特勒小姐将健美操引入学校， 并希望建立一个幼儿园部门， 但董事会并没有明确鼓励这个想法的方式。 诺伊斯小姐的姐姐在她回来后不久就嫁给了负责广州医院的外科医生约翰·科尔博士。 学校实行自给自足的第一步是收取一美元的入场费。 后来在每学期开始时变成一美元。 学生们从那时起—— -13 —— 第四次布置了他们自己的书本， 不久之后他们的衣服也有了。 申请人不断增加， 直到难以全部接收。 家长们终于准备好接受女儿们的全部支持， 如果学校愿意接纳她们的话。 随着时间的推移， 一些以前的毕业生回来当老师， 成为教职员工中的重要成员。 已翻译成中文的教科书现已面世；课程中引入了新的研究内容， 包括英语教学。 音乐早就在名单上了。 看管实践和教学中使用的器官是校长的众多职责之一。 她兴致勃勃地研究器官的解剖结构， 直到她能够将它们拆开并重新组合起来——能够找出问题并消除它。 学校的扩大， 即后来的“真光神学院”， 意味着增加了对两位负责人的关心和责任。 他们的女孩没有一个可以单独上街， 以免被绑架。 万一发生火灾， 也必须考虑这一点， 以防有必要离开大院。 还有更大的危险， 因为各种原因， 兴奋的人群聚集在附近。 不止一次， 暴徒涌入将医院与学校隔开的狭窄街道， 并殴打要求进入的大门。 有一次， 诺伊斯小姐下楼看看能做些什么。 “当我走下楼梯时， ”她后来说， “我转身回头看了看， 想着我不可能再爬上楼梯了， 但我并不感到害怕。 ”他们发现准备一件衣服和小挎包以备不时之需是明智之举， 但尽管他们两次不得不为飞行做准备， 但两次救援都准时到达。 在学校规模和项目不断扩大的同时， 它稳步保持其布道工作。 安息日学于 1872 年成立， 由该校最初的 10 名成员组成。 由于没有课程帮助， 诺伊斯小姐不得不每周写出一份问题清单， 将它们翻译成中文并复制足够多的数量， 以供应不断增长的 -14- 数量的教师和学生。 教师自己必须接受培训， 才能从事这项特殊的圣经教学工作。 她不断地与她的学生单独和集体祈祷。 晚年， 成立了基督教奋进青年协会， 并与国内同胞一起开展工作。 这是巴特勒小姐的负责人， 她也对学校的传教士社团感兴趣， 该社团接受了一位圣经读者的支持。 随着岁月的流逝， 真光神学院再次超越了它的边界。 1915 年， 学生们分成了一个小组， 一部分过河到成立真光中学的白鹤洞。 现在学校的校友遍布全省各地， 从事各种形式的基督教工作。 从他们建立的基督教家庭中， 第二代人进入了学校。 1917年是诺伊斯小姐来华五十周年。 1 月 14 日晚， 长老会传道部为她举行了宴会。 那天晚上， 她容光焕发， 岁月流逝得如此轻盈， 以至于朋友们一次又一次地惊呼：“谁看她会以为她在中国已经五十年了！” 1 月 14 日在神学院度过， 第二天在中学， 神学院的孩子。 这两次聚集的人群主要由她的妇女和女孩组成。 那里有数百名已成为牧师、福音传道者和教师的妻子的女孩。 许多人自己从事教学、护理和医学工作。 数十名圣经女性在场， 她们在旧学校接受过培训， 但现在不仅在长老会传道部服务， 而且在广州代表的每一个传道部服务。 在 15 日的演习中， 在场的 1872 班的一名成员被带到了诺伊斯小姐热情地迎接她的讲台上。 当两人握紧的手转向在场的人时， 他们收到了一个令在场所有人都心动的敬礼。 就像在想象中的那样， 诺伊斯小姐再次看到了-15-最初的十人乐队， 然后看着她以前的许多学生的快乐面孔， 每个人都爱她并参与其中在她的爱中， 她的脸上流露出一种并非来自地球的幸福与和平的印象。 第三个是真光神学院的“在家”， 用来接听那些来城里参加周年纪念的人的电话。 它以一场盛宴结束， 并在所有人的心中留下了“Noh Koo Neung's Jubile”的玫瑰色记忆。 在场的人还记得， 诺伊斯小姐的弟弟也差不多完成了五十年的宣教服务。 在他去世时， 实际上距离他的任命已有 50 年， 但内战要求他担任牧师， 因此他在中国的实际任期是 48 年而不是 50 年。 在她的周年纪念之后不久， 诺伊斯小姐就休假回家了。 当她在那里时， 她在费城的社团的禧年就发生了， 这是一个令人高兴的情况。 这不是一个可以在社会所属的教堂举行的小型聚会， 而是来自北方长老会妇女传教活动各个部门的代表和朋友的庞大聚会。 它在巨大的音乐学院举行， 在场的人永远不会忘记以戏剧形式展示真光神学院早期故事的节目部分。 所有的部分都拍得很好， 而且那个冒充诺伊斯小姐的年轻女子以前是学校的老师， 所以表现得栩栩如生， 令人信服。 演出结束时， 诺伊斯小姐本人被叫上台， 广大观众中的每个人都出于共同的冲动站了起来。 “他们不是为我做的， ”她在当年的联合国大会上表示同样的敬意时说， “而是为了工作。 ”休假结束后， 她回到了广州。 她在家的时候瘦了很多， 整个外表表明健康状况下降， 但在回应所有殷勤的询问时， 她一直坚称她感觉-16-非常好。 然而， 她最终被引诱去咨询一位认识她 30 年并且她非常信任的医生。 这位朋友发现了一个内部问题， 她确信这是无法治愈和无法治愈的， 但她认为最好不要让她知道自己情况的严重性， 从而让她的余生蒙上阴影。 因此， 她给了她一些一般性的医疗建议， 诺伊斯小姐离开时觉得没有什么严重的问题。 尽管如此， 她还是觉得回到美国可能是最好的选择， 所以在接下来的几个月里， 她忙着“在离开中国之前把所有事情都做好”。 神学院现在由真光的前学生和老师罗夫人指导， 诺伊斯小姐很满意她把它交给了有能力的人。 她已经发表了她关于学校的故事“Sinim 土地上的光”。 将近一年的时间里， 她能够继续工作， 她终于拥有了一切准备离开。 中国人好像放不下她似的。 他们的访问是不断的， 她毫无保留地把自己献给了他们。 1923 年 5 月 15 日， 她在终生挚友巴特勒小姐的陪同下， 站在香港船上， 驶离朋友们蜂拥而至告别的码头。 一个月后， 他们到达了塞维利亚， 在那里她度过了一个舒适的夏天， 并有幸结识了许多远道而来的朋友， 他们来老家看望她。 出航前几天， 她对姐姐说：“我一直想回家， 葬在我们家的坟地里， 但我只想在我的石头上写下这个， “等待他的到来。 ”她不知道如何很快她的愿望就实现了。 十月， 她的力气开始衰竭， 她最后一点力气都用在了她应他们要求写的《南华传道史》手稿的收尾工作上。 一封关于出版的信， 她最后一次放下笔。 她本来想和她的姐妹们多住一会儿 “但如果我真的去了， ”她说， “你就会知道我已经准备好了。 ” 一切医术和关爱可以延长宝贵的生命 -17- 已经完成了， 但召唤来了， 在她抵达广州五十六周年之际， 金门打开了， 她进入了永远与她的主。 M.N.K. “死亡如此温柔， 温柔地为你而来， 你没有看到他的脸， 所以亲切地蒙着面纱；不是作为恐怖之王， 而是作为慈爱父亲的使者， 派来引导你安全地回到你在天堂的家。 ”H.N.N.（摘自诺伊斯小姐为纪念她父亲而写的一首诗。 ）-18- [ u] 由一位传教士同工。 [/u] 在每一个传教团体中， 都有少数人凭借某些特征给他们所接触到的人留下深刻和有益的印象。 这也许是她的远大远见， 她永不熄灭的信仰， 她对她的师父和她的工作的奉献， 以及她的信仰在生命的力量中， 诺伊斯小姐如此显着。 引用她的一位朋友的话， 她对她所教的妇女和女孩的影响与莱顿大主教所施加的影响没有什么不同， 据说， “他所负责的人之所以正确， 不是因为他们害怕做错事， 而是因为他们感到羞耻。 ”那些为她工作或在她手下工作的人都感受到了她的话所承载的重量和尊重她。 她总是善良而有礼貌， 但她坚定地将罪犯绳之以法。 “哦， ”她的一个朋友叹了口气， “在骂人时有她的优雅！”魅力在很大程度上是属于她的；仁慈， 真诚， 尊严， 带有幽默感的严肃， 即时的同情。 她的智慧给人们留下了深刻的印象， 但从她身上散发出来的阳光却将他们包围了。 年轻的传教士仰望她， 爱她， 但那些与她一起走过的岁月， 却用生死都无法挣脱的绳索与她捆绑在一起。 她了解中国人， 他们也了解她， 对她的评价是正确的， 因为她保持了“美德的平衡”， 引用了中国人最看重的皮尔斯博士的话。 随着岁月的流逝， 她的生活越来越清晰地反映了儒家道德家们共同赞扬但往往无法获得的品质， 这比大多数生活都更密切地反映出来。 我们欣喜的是， 今天她拥有的是“说不出的快乐”和“更丰富的生命”；她与她所爱的救主面对面， 住在那道多年来稳定地照耀在她身上的光中——“西尼姆土地上的光”。 J.M.M. -19- 由夫人。 法律。 （刘三思）。 诺伊斯小姐的工作广为人知， 数千名校友就是它的证据。 所以我不会在这里谈论她的成就， 而是会讲述我认识的她。 她对每个人都充满善意， 耐心， 勤奋， 无私， 非常谦虚， 但始终有尊严。 学生们都敬畏她， 尊敬她， 却又爱她， 追随她， 视她为亲爱的母亲。 有人宣称， 即使诺伊斯小姐应该惩罚她， 她也会很乐意忍受， 因为她知道惩罚肯定是公正的。 尽管她对错误行为很严厉， 但她责备的速度很慢， 并且随时准备宽恕那些真正悔改的人。 “坏脾气， ”她说， “是善良而精力充沛的人所犯的罪。 他们必须从这里逃脱。 ”建校初期， 新老师不知道如何承担责任， 以至于所有的监督都落在了她身上， 包括土地和建筑的所有细节， 课程， 人员， 申请人和毕业生的考试， 班级-房间和宿舍的纪律， 以及她自己的所有家务。 我记得， 例如， 她每天晚上九点熄灯时都会在宿舍里来回走动， 以确保原本会失去的宁静与安宁， 然后在打开每张课桌的教室里巡视。 ， 在整理整齐后再次将其关闭， 但将一些物品放在任何不整齐的地方。 第二天早上， 那些发现自己的课桌有如此标记的人受到了无言的警告， 并以这种方式获得了更多的照顾。 她自己穿着个人的着装总是很整洁， 在完全体面之前从不离开她的房间， 这是她以身作则的众多例子之一。 在耐心方面， 她也树立了一个显着的榜样， 因为她在学校初期虽然经历了许多考验， 但她从不抱怨；就连她最亲近的人也从未听她提起过她的烦恼。 -20- 她让我们想起了我们的主本人， 这是一种真正的尊重。 以前来学校的女人很多都是小脚的。 诺伊斯小姐对这些人表现出无尽的善意， 她松开他们的脚， 亲自给他们洗澡、涂油和包扎。 早期， 广州有许多女奴， 其中不少是由于她的拯救和她们的教育以及后来在某些行业或专业上的培训， 使她们能够在社会中占据一席之地。 诺伊斯小姐的记忆力极好， 即使多年后也很少忘记名字或面孔。 虽然她活到了高龄， 但她从未变老。 没有听到她重复自己的话；对年轻人来说， 她也总是显得年轻。 在任何场合， 由于她善于表达和惊人的信息量， 她几乎可以就任何话题进行有趣的演讲。 圣经是诺伊斯小姐最喜欢的礼物。 在她离开广州的那天， 她提交了一百多本。 特点是这应该是她最后一份礼物， 也是她第一次给广州妇女的礼物。 在校友纪念会议上， 当她去世的消息传到广州时， 许多在场的人都主张为她竖立一座铜像。 但大多数人认为， 以她美妙的精神继续心爱的工作将是最好和最持久的纪念。 “被生者欣赏， 胜过被石刻纪念。 ” [注：空白页] [注：最后一页包含一个 PMP 的小印记， 垂直书写并被月桂花环环绕] Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and
