Description
“House in Moukden [Shenyang] with Watchman and Teacher standing in front.” Exterior view of single story 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 Moukden [Shenyang] 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.
