Dates of existence
History
Originally a Presbyterian station, the Women's Missionary Society had twenty-nine missionaries in medical, evangelistic and educational work in Honan in 1925 and the United Church WMS carried on the work. Especially important in this service was university and hospital work as well as that of the Christian Literature Society for China. The rise of Chinese nationalism in the late 1920s, the Japanese invasion of 1937, and the war between Nationalist and Communist forces in the 1940s made the work difficult and by 1947 the Mission had to be permenantly abandoned.
