of Field Dalling (1858–1859) then Rector of Broseley with Linley, Shropshire (1859–1873) At his death on 16 September 1893, he was Rector of Ross-on-Wye and a prebendary of Hereford Cathedral. CMS in Guangzhou (Canton) Guangzhou (Canton) became a mission station in 1898. Holy Trinity College opened in 1908 as a boys' school, and was until 1914, also a training college for missionaries. The CMS also established St Hilda's School for Girls, which opened in 1916. These schools operated until the Japanese invasion of Canton in 1938. CMS in Guangxi (Kwangsi) province and Hunan province CMS began working in Guilin (Kweilin) in Guangxi province (Kwangsi) from 1899 and in Yongzhou (Yangchow) in Hunan province from 1903. The first bishop of Kwangsi-Hunan, William Banister, was consecrated in 1909. In 1910 the CMS started a mission in Hengyang (Hengchow). A hospital was established in Kweilin in 1910. Following the invasion of China by the Japanese in 1937 many of the missionaries left. CMS in Fuh-Kien (Fujian) In May, 1850, an English ship turned into the Min river on the south China coast some 400 miles north of Hong Kong. She made her way slowly up the river for twenty miles before arriving at Pagoda Anchorage. Passengers and cargo would have to make the final ten miles to Fuh-Chow (Fuzhou) in junks or sampans. Thus, the Revd W. Welton, a man with medical qualifications, as mentioned in an earlier section, and Revd R. D. Jackson arrived at Fuh-Chow, Fuh-Kien as missionaries of the CMS. American missionaries had preceded them by four years. Five years later Revd F. McCaw and Revd M. Fearnley joined the mission. These early missionaries either died of fever or moved back to England. The Revd George Smith was the next arrival in 1859 yet only a year later the CMS was considering abandoning Fuh-Chow where not a single conversion had been achieved. However, that year yielded baptisms and in 1862 Revd John Richard Wolfe was appointed as missionary minister in Fuh-Chow. Smith died in 1863 leaving Wolfe alone until Revd A. W. Cribb joined him in late 1864. A small number of other clergy and their wives followed including Revd J. E. Mahood in 1868. Slowly numbers of adherents began to increase, such that within the next fifteen years, three thousand Chinese converts could be counted, many living in country districts such as Lieng-Kong (Lianjiang), Lo-Nguong (Luoyang), Ning Taik (Ningde)
