Riutan is an interesting place.
Most of the people in Riutan are
nominally Christian. Originally they
were an .Aboriginal tribe. First, theji
accepted Chinese (custom's and the
language, then 'Christianity, ov|er
half a century ago. This village is
said to be the first, place in North

That night those young people, made
the Whole valley ring with- the old

ity in Riutap but 'they take care not
to let it interfere over much with

“Byoritsu worst hit.” ■. “Kokansho’s

; places < aje“’ oniy/a“ few miles apart,
but > they are rough miles. The
crowds that, travel back and forth
do so on foot, on push ears or on
the rattling buses of Mr. Henry
Ford.
The city of Byoritsu and sjirroun-
Ghinese called Hakka, from the dis=j
trict north of/Ganton. 'The Hakka
people came later, to Formosa than
the. Amoy people and had, therefore
to be content with the poorer foot

-h.owever.^.their thrift and industry

Both Byoritsu, and Kokansho have

-erences—oFTaceT—language—and—-na;€7
ionality, the answer' has profound
significance in this divided world.
■ “ByoiitsuTwOrSt hit.” What is one to
. . ,,J|-------------—jU—
“Goryu wiped out.” If it isri’jt one;
thing it is another. I remember a
few years ago, when they had a ter-,
riffic flood. The water rose to the
roofs of the houses and destroyed
not a few of4 them.
- . The description of the filth laden
water during a'flood in a Chinese
town makes understandable the ter
rors .of the people of floods;. We pic
ture rain torrents, and floods rising,
but we think of it as just ordinary
H2O: we do not understand the
tears of these/ people. , They know
the horrors of greenish slime filled
with filth and stench beyond des
cription, perhaps filling their houses.
That year, for Goryu, it was a flood:
this year it is an earthquake. I
wonder what will happen the little,
struggling Christian- group there.
lJe?ple are sure to say ...the Chris-
tio’ns God is to be blajried for it. all.
“■Taiko in flames.” What about
the nevy church ? The new building
should already be Completed; In-the
la'st letter from Taiko they expected
the. opening ceremony to be Boon.
Perhaps it was set for today, Erister
Sunday. It is only tabout, six months
since that congregation n^as so upset
about having, to pull dowri- their
church and build a new tone. The
town officials came along, one day
and said, We are* very sorry for
you but a new street is going to be
put. through here so you will haye
to pull this building down. It is
right iq the way. At first it seemed
an impossible task to^ even think of
raising enough money to build' a
church' anything, like as good as the
original one. But they met the eih-
ergency bravely and rose' to the
.unusual situation. Can it be possible
the new Taiko church is in ruins’the
very clay the decoratioris are upTldF
the Opening?
badlyj'.'ghri!l<en,”' * What
about the Shinchiku church?, Built
by the late Dr; Gauld who left his
mark of strength oh . every wall and
roof he put up, I should think the
Shinchiku church would stand, a
heavy quakg. Anyway Shinchiku is
farther away from the centre. And
the iShinehiku church tower— the
Marian Keith tower with the bell; I
wonder if it is alright?1
We. folded^, the r'^O-gai” with a
thousand questions running ^through
our minds} We wonder what -the
next mews wifi be.« We wofider if
there will be “Gd-gai’s” in Chnada,
too, Porhaps/’The woifld is becoming

doing that. Only such a1 shock would
account for the terriftic destruction
‘ and .heavy loss of life. How often
have T~slept arid'-TfeId~rirevtii^
those' Abuses' that are how prababiy
. heaps Of ruins. Japanese houses' of
wood, straw mats and paper doors,.
/wouldn’t cause such destruction with
the first shock but the fires that
wriuld immediately ' break- but yvould
complete the devastation later. There
would be - few .fires .in the Chinese
section; . -
“Railways paralyzed.” “Taian Fiver
bridge collapsed.”; Tunnell along the
mountain line broken.” Naturally,
such a shock ■ would paralyze the
railway, would it not? Bix b’clock in
the morning. I wonder where the
night expresses would be' then. Ac?
cording to the old timetable the up-'
train would be near Taihoku, while
the down train would not be far
from Tainan. So early in. the morn
ing, there' would bejZfew ordinary
trains in the -.quake area. Taian
bridge—I remember the last time I
Crossed it. It is a huge steel struc
ture over the Taian river. That time
N.K.C. thd minister from Ba-u and
(LS.T. the minister from *Tonshiky-
aku were with me. N. K. C;, though
the champion tennis playef in North
Formosa and a leading athlete, had
n’t nerve -..enough io /walk the ties at
such a height- as that bridge was
above the water? The ties being ,un-
. usually far apart and the possibility
of a special train, not on the regular?
time table coming, along, of course
made it more nerve racking.. He had'
to. leave civilization’s steel' structure
and cross as - the Aborigines have
from time immemorial. He jumped
from rock to rock, climbed over an
old shaky tressle, and waded the
stream in the half-dried river bed
below.-
Grossing the bridge, the railway
leads immediately into a long, jdark.
