Description
“House in Moukden [Shenyang].Teacher and Watchman.” Exterior view of single storey mission house that combines Chinese and Western styles, two indigenous men stand at different points in front of the building. Dr Thomas M Young and his wife arrived in the Manchuria field in 1889 and were based at Shenyang [Moukden] but Mrs Young would die the next year. Dr Young would pioneer the mission at Shuang-cheng-pu in the Sungari district, situated in the north of Manchuria, in 1892. Moukden was the state capital and an important centre for mission activity with a number of schools, orphanages and medical facilities being established there, the work was built upon the efforts of indigenous evangelists Old Wang and Tang who started work there in 1876. ❧ The image is from an album associated with Rev. James A Whylie (1863-1894) who was ordained to the Manchuria mission in 1887 and based in Liaoyang, 1888-1894.
