    1927 Hebei (North of Yellow River) leprosarium"There are now thirty-eight lepers in residence here, and in spite of a number of trials and difficulties the work goes on hopefully. Among these difficulties I might mention the four or five nationalities (or rather races) concerned - Chinese, Moslem, Turki, Tibetan, and Tartar - all being represented among our lepers. ... At present we have no dressing room for lepers, so that their dressings are done in the open for lack of a meeting-room. Yet the work has progressed and over ten have given their names as inquirers. Of these we hope to see five baptised at the end of this week in the Yellow River which flows close beside us."
