separation

Kiukiang Institute was a Methodist Episcopal organization that proselytized in China. "The six months which have elapsed since the last Annual Meeting have been almost entirely free from the disquieting rumors which have disturbed other parts of China, and throughout the district the old time confidence and friendliness have been largely restored. At Hwang-mei Hsien serious trouble was threatened. Preaching services were interrupted, the chapel defaced, the preacher's house stoned, and he and his family subjected to much annoyance and discomfort, if not actual clanger. An appeal was made to the United States consul at Hankow, who promptly represented the case to the viceroy, and quiet was immediately restored. At Sha-ho, ChSn, the magistrate of the Teh-hwa District, while visiting the place on official business, publicly incited the gentry and people to riot and violence. He is a Hunan man, and is bitterly antiforeign. Happily there was no actual outbreak, but it has had a marked effect upon the people. The facts in the case were communicated to the United States minister, and doubtless the magistrate will be punished." "The work has gone steadily forward in all departments. In the Kiu- kiang Institute we had a gracious, old-fashioned revival with over thirty conversions. The blessed influence of this outpouring of God's Spirit was felt through the whole district. The older circuits are ripe for a similar work, and we are looking and praying for a mighty revival which shall roll over the entire Kiukiang District."

Thank you Richard Norton, for the additional information about the Kiukiang Institute. We will add some of it to the record when we update.

Poem called "Reparation from the World"

Andy Mabbett Hello. I do believe it's "Separation…" because otherwise it would be followed by the preposition "to" and it wouldn't make sense, in terms of the spiritual philosophy of Christian sentiment, yes?

"Roll your sleeves up and let's get to work."

One of the twins died in 1902, after being separated.

And one lived...wow.

I wonder why they refer to them by their religion, Hinduism, rather than by their nationality? Should children this young really be considered of a certain religion when they are not old enough to have experienced or read about any other religion? I think not.

Looks more like a dissection than a surgery.
Anybody wash their hands then?

The 2nd sister died about a year after the first, also of tuberculosis.

The spelling of a lot of these place names seems to be German. In Danish: Fredriksborg Slot

Actually it's now "Frederiksborg Slot, Hillerød, Denmark", but when the picture was taken, the spelling in this picture could very well have been correct. I live just 1500 meters from here, and my grandfather used to work as a gardener in the park around the castle. He lived in a little house just outside the frame of this picture. Frederiksborg Castle isn't situated in Copenhagen, but in Hillerød, approximately 35 km from the center of Copenhagen. It is now a museum where you can see a large collection of historic paintings.

I was at Fredericksborg some years ago, and I found the museum very interesting. With each room, you advanced about 10 years in Danish history. Of course you are correct, Jesper. It is Hillerød, not Copenhagen. I have a later view of this photo. It will have to wait a few days, until I post the set on Flickr.

Thanks for the correct location! We'll update the title and subject fields in the source data and reload the description.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Historical Gardens, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
