and Ku-Cheng (Putian), places Wolfe and Cribb regularly visited, and being considerable journeys (itinerations) of some days from Fuh-Chow. As well as building churches and/or renting buildings, the missionaries and their wives, like Mary Wolfe, early established both elementary and intermediate level schools for boys and girls. Later, senior boarding schools, for example, Trinity College, which came to have solid reputations were founded. The first CMS church to be opened in Back Street, Fuh-Chow in 1865 was known as All Saints and stood there for about 125 years. Earlier in 1860 St John’s Church on Nantai Island had been built by the English trading community. Later, hospitals were erected and staffed by medical missionaries and nurses. A theological college for training Chinese men also on Nantai Island was opened by Bishop Burdon in 1883. Wolfe, himself, came to be described as “the chief instrument in the remarkable ingathering in the Fuh-Kien Province” and he remained the senior and longest serving missionary until his death in 1915 having given 53 years to the missionary cause in Fuh-Kien. He was known among the Christian Chinese as the “Fukien Moses.” In an article in the CM Gleaner in 1893, he wrote of the bleak outlook for the Mission in 1862. He further describes the progress such that by 1893 the Mission had extended its operations into five of the largest prefectures or provinces of Fuh-Kien which covered an area half the size of England. Across this area there were 170 churches or places of worship in 17 large counties with nearly 11,000 adherents. Since 1862, 15 Chinese clergy had been ordained. There were also 125 trained catechists and 38 theological students in training. Over all the counties, 106 Chinese schoolmasters were teaching in elementary schools with two or three boarding schools for boys in country stations as well as a high school for advanced students in Fuh-Chow in which young men were training for entrance to the theological college to become future pastors and teachers. The Mission had four boarding schools for girls and three schools for training the wives of catechists, students and other women for Christian work whether as voluntary or as paid Bible women. Also, by 1893, two medical missions were in operation in the prefectures of Fu Ning and Kieng-ning carried out by Dr. B. Van Someren Taylor and Dr. Rigg. They were assisted by Chinese men who they
