Description
“Tablet presented to Mr & Mrs Webster by Tieling members.” Exterior group portrait with James Webster and his wife standing on the right, both wearing winter clothes. A large banner is displayed in front of the windows of the building behind. The Rev. James Webster arrived in Manchuria in 1882 and helped establish a station at Tiehling, a walled city forty miles north of Shenyang [Moukden], in 1885, under the authority of Chiao one of the indigenous evangelists. Chiao was manhandled and the chapel damaged by opponents and Mr Ross and Mr Webster both received rough treatment in attempting to establish the station. The family was probably based in Shenyang at this time. The Rev. James Webster was appointed Joint Foreign Mission Secretary in 1910. ❧ 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.
