Upwards of 291 Protestant missionaries and their wires and children, and 16,000 Chinese converte, it is estimated, were massacred, 1900 there Were ia China about 2,785 Protestant missionaries and about 110,000 communicants or full church members; these numbers have increased in the five years after the terrible Boxer outbreak to 3,750 missionaries (including wives) and to about 250,000 fall church and probation members.
