The Friends missionary work in China began in 1887 with the arrival in Nanking of Esther Butler. She worked in the Philander Smith Hospital, learning the language and customs of the people, until 1890, at which time land was secured and a missionary home was built. The compound was closed and evacuated several times during its early years due to civil and political unrest, including the Nanking Incident of 1927, and the missionaries there endured great danger and hardship.
