THE CHINA MAIL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 1947.
AN APPEAL FROM FOOCHOW
Restoration Of Repairing War Damage
An apneal for funds for the restoration of St. John's Episcopal Church in Foochow has been received by the "China Mail" from the Rev. David M. Paton, Chaplain, J. G. P. Wilson, Trustee, and other church officials. The church, known as the "Stone Church" has stood in Foochow since 1859. ··
Pointing out that the number of foreign residents in Foochow has dwindled to the point "they are unable to do more than maintain the church," the appeal says the church has never before "been forced to be the subject of an appeal for funds."
By comparison with other buildings in Fouchow, the Church suffered lightly during and after the Japanne `occuba- tion. The structure is intaci. and at the seating and
