"Up the North River"
River boats; Furniture; Cities and towns; Tracts; Pleiades; Buddhist monasteries; Cormorants; Caves
Harriet travels along the North River in November on a boat called a "Ho-tan" with Mr. Piercy, Miss Radcliffe, and the Whiteheads from the English Wesleyan Mission. They furnished their cabins from their houses. Harriet details their travels, discussing how they handed out books and tracts in small towns. They also handed out tracts at a Confucian temple. During their journey, they paid no heed to potential pirates. They anchored by a Buddhist monastery, where they climbed to a number of temples for a better view. Mr. Whitehead gave a Buddhist priest a tract. They passed through the countryside where natural features were of spiritual significance, and eventually took Blind Boy's Pass. They saw natives fishing with domesticated cormorants. After enjoying the scenery of Kau Yam Shan, they proceeded to Ying-Tak, where they met some opposition as foreigners. A favorable wind carried them to Fatshan and the rest of the way to Canton.

Section of "A Plea for the Chinese" by Henry
Chinese Americans; Emigration and immigration law; Opium abuse; Chinese--Religion; Kearney, Denis, 1847-1907
Henry criticizes the exclusionary proclamations of Denis Kearney towards Chinese immigrants. He explains that every claim towards the Chinese invasion of America is reciprocal to American actions in China. He adds that statistics reflect a decline in the Chinese-American population. To Henry, the spiritual state of China demands missionary action rather than the military. He compares their fortitude with that of Native American laborers.

"A Chinese Account of Christianity"
Theology; Confucianism; Taoism; Christianity and other religions--Taoism; Confucianism--Relations--Christianity; Gazettes; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ--Crucifixion
One of the Noyes missionaries, most likely Harriet, is sending back home a translation from a Chinese gazette summarizing Christianity. The account tells the story of Jesus as a mortal man who had no powers but was a physician. He renounced his biological father and claimed to be a heavenly host, starting his own sect. They compare this to figures in Taoism and Confucianism. He was crucified for his sins in not worshiping his ancestors or other gods, but his followers claim he rose again in order to spread their religion.
