IV The Gathering of the Storm THE people of Shansi are naturally timid and jrentle DEGREESjiot DEGREESiyeriJo making disturbances, being the most peaceabl_e_people in Chinar"Sb our Shansi Christians were hopeful for themselves, even when the reports from the coast grew more alarming. But there was one thing which caused us deep apprehension, and that was the fact that the wicked, cruel Yii Hsien, the hater of foreigners, was the newly appointed governor of Shansi.
