Text Any textual data included in the document Canton China July 25th 1885 My dear Father, This is our last day for writing the mail but I have already sent some letters to the office. We have some hope that the home mail may come in today It is due in Hong Kong but sometimes it comes in a little earlier than expected and if it came in early in the morning they might perhaps get it off on the Canton steamer. We have had our new boarder Dr McCandliss for a week now. We like him very much. He looks very young but seems equal to whatever situation he finds himself in. Dr Thomson is down in Macau so that he is at the head of the hospital, and he is at the head of our mature family, has prayers with us every evening and just now he is the only gentleman in the mission now in Canton. Mr Fulton is in Hong Kong [u] resting [/u] Henry and Mr White are away on a relief expedition. He the little doctor conducted our prayer meeting last Wednesday. There were six ladies present and we all kept silence. He did not seem to mind it at all but I think he did a little. He is accustomed to leading prayer meetings however as he has had charge of a young people's prayer meeting in Philadelphia for more than a year. His father is a Doctor in Philadelphia. For a long time he was very unwilling that his son should came out as a missionary. He said he told him he should not have named him Henry Martyr if he were not willing to allow him to be a missionary He did however finally give his consent. We have two Henrys in our mission who were named for Henry Martyr and one who was named for Harriet Newall so perhaps there is something in a name I saw the article in the Atlantic Monthly which refers to our name, the original of Noyes and this is what it says. It is in an article on Huguenot Emigration to America written by Dr Baird. He says there were few of the French Huguenots who came with the Pilgrims to New England but among them was Philip De la Noye, who came over in the Fortune in 1621 and from whom or from whose kindred of like name are descended all the numerous persons named Delano and [u] Noyes [/u]. I am very glad to know the origin of our name. I have been told before that it [Note: page mostly blank, text written vertically] Clara from Hattie Master we have toiled all the night and have taken nothing Luke 5-- 5-- All night in the darkness toiling, And seemingly all in vain, In a land that sits in the shadows, Of sin, and death, and pain. And our hearts sometimes grow weary, Our thoughts are with sadness fraught, For doubt, and discouragement whisper Ye but spend your strength for naught. Does the seed [u] all [/u] fall by the wayside, Amid thorns, or on stony ground, Will there be no yield of golden grain, Will nothing but [?tares?] be found? Oh! surely, the Lord of the harvest, Will care for the seed we sow, For His love for the erring, and sinful Is deeper than we can know. And the eye that never slumbereth Watching ever the sparrow's flight, Sees beyond the midnight darkness, The glow of the morning light. So our faith, and hope grow stronger, With thoughts of His boundless love. And the darkness around us brightens On the light, that shines from above. For the Master will come in the morning When the long dark hours are past, And the work that has seemed so fruitless. He will crown with success at last He knows all our trials and weakness, But with Him is infinite power, And His promise, "Fear not I am with thee," Is ours in the darkest hour. and when sowers and reapers together Rejoice o'er the ripened grain. We shall see when the harvest is gathered That [u] no [/u] work for the Master was vain. Hattie Noyes [Continued vertically on the first page] is of French origin. I wish some one would trace up the Noyes family as the Walkers has been. Your aff daughter [u] Harriet De la Noye [/u] 中国广州 1885 年 7 月 25 日 我亲爱的父亲， 这是我们写信的最后一天， 但我已经给办公室寄了一些信。 我们有一些希望， 家里的邮件今天可能会到。 它是在香港到期的， 但有时它会比预期的早一点， 如果它是在清早到的， 他们可能会在广东轮船上把它拿走。 我们的新寄宿生 McCandliss 博士已经一个星期了。 我们非常喜欢他。 他看起来很年轻， 但无论遇到什么情况， 他似乎都一样。 汤姆森医生在澳门， 所以他是医院的负责人， 他是我们成熟家庭的负责人， 每天晚上和我们一起祈祷， 刚才他是现在广州传教团中唯一的绅士。 富尔顿先生在香港休养亨利， 而怀特先生则在进行救援探险。 上周三， 这位小医生主持了我们的祷告会。 有六位女士在场， 我们都保持沉默。 他似乎根本不介意， 但我认为他做了一点。 不过， 他已经习惯了带领祷告会， 因为他在费城负责一个年轻人的祷告会已经一年多了。 他的父亲是费城的一名医生。 很长一段时间， 他都非常不愿意儿子出来传教。 他说他告诉他， 如果他不愿意让他成为一名传教士， 他不应该给他命名为亨利烈士， 但他最终同意了。 我们的使命中有两个亨利， 他们以亨利烈士的名字命名， 一个以哈里特纽沃尔的名字命名， 所以也许我在大西洋月刊上看到的文章中提到了我们的名字， 诺伊斯的原作， 这是它说什么。 这是贝尔德博士写的一篇关于胡格诺派移民到美国的文章。 他说法国胡格诺派教徒中很少有人与朝圣者一起来到新英格兰， 但其中有菲利普·德拉诺伊， 他于 1621 年在《财富》杂志上来到这里， 无数人都来自他或他的亲属命名为德拉诺和诺伊斯。 我很高兴知道我们名字的由来。 之前有人告诉我 [注：页面大部分空白， 文字垂直书写] 来自 Hattie Master 的 Clara 我们整夜辛勤劳作， 一无所获 Luke 5-- 5-- 整夜在黑暗中劳作， 似乎全都在徒劳的， 在一个坐在阴影中的土地上， 罪恶、死亡和痛苦。 我们的心有时会变得疲倦， 我们的思想充满悲伤， 因为怀疑和沮丧而低语你却白费了你的力量。 难道种子都掉在路边， 在荆棘丛中， 还是在石头地上， 会不会长出金色的谷粒， 除了等待之外什么都找不到？哦！庄稼之主， 肯定会眷顾我们播下的种子， 因为他对犯错和有罪的人的爱比我们所知道的更深。 永不沉睡的眼睛 永远注视着麻雀的飞行， 超越午夜的黑暗， 晨光的光芒。 因此， 我们的信心和希望随着他无限的爱而变得更加强大。 我们周围的黑暗照亮了从上方闪耀的光。 因为大师将在早晨到来， 当漫长的黑暗时光过去， 而这似乎是徒劳的工作。 他最终会以成功加冕他知道我们所有的考验和软弱， 但他有无限的力量， 他的承诺， “不要害怕我与你同在”， 在最黑暗的时刻是我们的。 当播种者和收割者一起为成熟的谷物欢欣鼓舞。 我们将看到何时收割庄稼 主的任何工作都是徒劳的。 Hattie Noyes [在第一页垂直续] 是法国血统。 我希望有人能像步行者一样追查诺伊斯家族。 你的女儿， Harriet De la Noyes Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Letter Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Letter from Harriet De la Noye to Father, July 25, 1885 Subject The topic of the resource Mail steamers; Postal service; Men; Travel; Names; Names, French; Faith; God Description An account of the resource Harriet writes to her father about the mail steamer coming and their new boarder Dr. McCandliss, noting that he is very young but they like him. She then elaborates that Dr. McCandliss is the only man with their mission right now while others (Henry, Dr. Thompson, Mr. Fulton, and Mr. White) are away. Harriet notes that Dr. McCandliss was almost not allowed to be a missionary, and discusses the power of names (leading to the discussion of an article attributing the name "Noyes" to a Frenchman named Philip De La Noye). Also included in the letter is a note to Clara about faith and trusting in God when things seem dark.
