were training. Medical work expanded further in the next decades with Wolfe, particularly gratified, when a hospital was opened in 1905 near the North Gate of Fuh-Chow. Dr. Wilkinson was in charge, assisted by his wife Amy Oxley/Wilkinson who opened a blind school for boys in which much was achieved through her efforts and for which she was awarded the very rare Chinese Government Order of the Golden Grain in 1917. Wolfe also reported in 1893 of the women missionaries of the CMS, in the Church of England Zenana Missionary Society (CEZMA) and the Female Education Society (FES), working all over the Mission among women. At that date, five women were evangelising Chinese women in schools and congregations. Miss E. S. Goldie had arrived in 1887, Miss M. D. Boileau, 1889, and sisters Misses J. C. and J. E. Clarke together with Miss Minnie E. Wolfe are listed in 1892. Miss Bushell and Miss Lambert lead the Girls’ Boarding School in Fuh-Chow which was to produce Christian wives, teachers, nurses and doctors over many decades. By 1900 sixteen English clergy, eleven Chinese clergy and 34 CMS women missionaries as well as approximately the same number of CEZMS women were serving in Fuh-Chow and in other prefectures. Among them were eight women who arrived in 1896 undeterred by the Kucheng massacre the year before. The Revd Robert Stewart, his wife, a child and six women missionaries were killed. The dangers and hazards of missionary life were considerable and included health risks arising from insanitary conditions and anti-European feelings expressed in hostile actions towards people and their buildings. The Kucheng massacre was by far the largest of the latter. Missionaries did not cease their preaching and teaching in the area. Later in 1930 two women missionaries, Miss Eleanor Harrison and Miss Edith Nettleton were murdered in Chungan in north west Fuh-Kien. A year after Archdeacon Wolfe’s death in 1915, Revd Llewellyn Lloyd wrote of the many changes taking place in China following the Revolution of 1911 and in the growth of the Mission. The revolution itself, brought many benefits to the status and education of women. He estimated the number of missionaries was fiftyfold what it had been in 1876 and a Provincial Synod complemented Church Councils. He notes that the Fuh-Kien Mission had the largest staff of women missionaries of any CMS Mission in the world. And among these women were
