THE RIJNHART'S.
Letters received by C. T. Paul, of To-
ronto, dated in May and June of the
present year, written from Kum -bull
the friAmcloends de of Peter RijnharNortheastern t and wife,
formerly Dr. Susie Carson, of Strathroy
and London, Ont., to think that there is
no truth in the recent report that 1Jr.
Rijnhart bad been killed and his wife
abducted by the rebels.
The rebels are Mohammedans who
came 60 yeara ago from Turkestan and
settled in the Province of Kansah, which
forms part of the frontier between China
proper and Tibet. The fame of Kum -
bum has extended to the most remota
parts of Dietary, China, Mongolia, Man-
ohnria, and all the Tibetan territories,
even to the Himalaya Mountains. It is
the site of the great Lamasery or
Monastery, which contains about 4,000
lamas or priests, who are there studying
the doctrines of Buddbiem. Here Mr.
Rijnhart and his wife have been work-
ing for the past two years.
The district of Kumbum is held by the
Tibetans to be especially sacred, for it
was here that the great Buddhist re-
former, Teong-Napa, was born. Kum -
bum means 10,000 images, the name be-
ide derived from the existence of a
marvelous tree, said to have sprung up
from the hairs of Teong-Napa. The
Tibetans superstitiously maintain that
on every leaf of the tree is visable the
image of Buddah.

I think we would be lees careful, but I
would not like to fall into the hands of
the rebels, because I am a woman ; and
Mr. Rijnhart is careful, too, for if any-
thing happened hint what would I do ?
Of coarse if we really felt it was God's
will we would risk anything however,
dangerous looking to human eyes, and
go forth rooting securely in Him "who
meth for ue."

lamaetery (monastery) there, and we
go in response to the invitation of many
friends, Ae for as gaining the oonfidenoe
of the people ie concerned this rebellion
has helped us more than years of mei-
donee here could have done. We have
made friende everywhere, and most
influential ones, too. Iu the Chinese
army the commanders are Our best
friends, ono of them having sent ue food
from hie own kitchen while we were at-

showed great gratitude to Mr. Rijnhart
for extracting a bullet from hie fano.
"While the battles were going on not
far from Kumbum, Je-rin•poobe, the
Grand Lama, or abbot, of the great
monastery, supposed to be an incarna-
tion of the "precious Buddha," was eo
much concerned about our safety that
he offered us some rooms in hie own
house for ourselves and our things until
it was pendent for ue to return to our
own home. We accepted his offer, and
found him very kind to ue.
"Daring thee troublous times we
have not been able to do much pruneh.

to teach."
MOHAMMEDAN cenELTIEO,
Following are extracts from Dr. (Mrs.)
Rijnhart's letter :
"If I remember rightly I have told
you of the cruelty of the Mohammedans.
The same sword that has been devastat-
ing Armenia has been busy here.
Thousands of Imperial trcops with
foreign guns, cannons, torpedoes, etc.,
came up three months ago to quell the
trouble. They went to Topa, the rebel
stronghold, 8011 (10 English miles) from
ns, where about 40,000 rebels were im.
mured. four fearful battles were
fought. Alter the first bloody day, Mr.
Rijnhart and I betook ourselves to the
battlefield to help the wounded soldiers.
We had about 150 wounded an our hands
at onoe, with no hospital, no nurse, not
even a bit of clean cloth to dress wounds,
except what we had ourselves. Mr.
Rijnbart went to the camps to see those
soldiers who were too badly Burt to be
brought to us. while I stayed in a shop
the Chinese commander bad got for us,
and treated the wounded there. How I
sighed for more help, or even a place for
the poor fellows to stay in. We did no
amputation, as the Chinese are averse to
that, and thus three or four died who
might have been saved.
"Mr. Bijnbart is beooming a famous
autgeon, extracting ballets and operating
for dead bone quite skillfully. At the
close of another battle we were summon-
ed to a small village where 0,000 soldiers
were stationed. The scene beggars de-
scription. Soldiers were sleeping in the
alleys, horses feeding ready saddled,
guns and spears glittering everywhere.
Our coming was hailed with delight,
everyone shouting at the top of his voice.
After being introduced to the command-
er we began our work of attending to the
wounded amidst the most deafening
yells. A small room five feet square
furnished with a kung or mud bed serv-
ed as our surgery. Upon the hang we
cut out bullets, set broken limbo, treat-
ed wounds, eta. The only window was
an opening a foot square in the mud
wall, which was kept free of heads by a
man with a whip, who vigorously yelled
and beat right and left. When we ask-
ed for hot or cold water, cotton wadding,
wood for splints, eto„ everyone yelled at
once, but yet the desired article was
brought.
WOMEN AND 011ILD0EN KILLED.
"The past three days have been days
of terrible bloodshed. Several Sloham.
medan forte have fallen before the im-
perial troops, and 1,000 rebels, including
men, women and children, have been
killed, The Chinese and Tibetans who
fell into the bands of the rebels, have
been butchered and mutilated in the
moat barbarous manner, Al) 1 you in
the home lands have no idea of the hor-
rors of a rebellion here, In civilized
countries in time of war women and
children aro eats, but here, no tongue can
tell the fate of some of the weaker ones
that fall into the hands of either the
rebels or the Chinese troops. The dead
and wounded are not treated humariely
either. I reoontly wont down to Si Ning
to meet Mr. Rijnhart. On entering the
gate of the city I beheld a gbaetly sight,
for just outside the gate lay a heap of
dead bodies being settee by the dogs. I
