     Mr. and Mrs. Judd went forward to Wu-ch'ang, the capital of Hu-peh, and there established what they trusted would become the basis for the new western work of the China Inland Mission.Not long after, another sum of three thousand pounds was given for work in western China by donors who wished their names withheld.
     As is well known, Wu-ch'ang is the chief governing city of central China, and is situated at the head of the more navigable lower Yang-tse, just opposite Han-kow, that great commercial metropolis to and from which large ocean-going steamers carry merchandise. In these two cities and the adjacent Han-yang, three cities in one, there is a total population of not less than two millions.
     Wu-ch'ang is not merely the capital of Hu-peh and residence of the governor, but also the seat of the viceroy of Hu-peh and Hu-nan.
