'tacks of angina pectoris TELLS OF LAST DAYS OF GREAT MISSIONARY Rev. Paul R. Reynolds Describes Life and Passing of Dr. Watts O. Pye Rev. James Austin Richards of the Winnetka Congregational church is in receipt of a letter from the Rev. Paul R. Reynolds, of Fenchow, Shansi. China, foreign minister of the local church, containing the details of the final illness and death of Dr. Watts O. Pye at Fenchow, January 9, brief men- tion of which was made in a recent is- sue of the church Bulletin. Dr. Pye, who had been in charge of the work at the station in China under the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, since 1907, visited Winnetka about a year ago, when on furlough, and spoke at the Winnetka Congregational church. He formed many close friendships while here and the news of his passing is deeply mourned because of the personal grief which these friends sustain and also because of the loss which his taking away from the great work in which he was engaged means to the church. Since 1922 Dr. Pye had had as his associate in his missionary work, the Rev. Paul R. Reynolds, whose position is supported by the Winnetka Con- gregational church as its principal con- triution to this field. Mr. Reynolds is now in full charge of the Fenchow mission. His letter, relative to the final illness and death of Dr. Pye, follows: Ill Many Years . "It is our sad duty to tell you of the sudden and tragic death of Dr. Watts O. Pye on January 9 of this year. You have been his friend for so long that I know you will want to hear some of the details of his last illness. "He was ill in bed for nearly one month, but his trouble dated long be- fore that. Perhaps you already know that he had tuerculosis in 1912, the year after he went through the Revolu- tion here alone. He recovered and had no more trouble until 1923, after the strain of the death of his little daughter. He then had a serious at- tack of heart trouble, with permanent damage to the heart. He was caution- ed many times to go slow, but such a thing for' a man of his nature was seemingly impossible. However, when he went to America on furlough a lit- tle over a year ago, he seemed in good condition. While in the United States, he gave himself little rest and was un- der considerable nervous strain. "When he returned to Fenchow, he plunged into the work with his usual enthusiasm, but complained once that he tied more easily than he had be- fore he went home. His habitual routine of work for years, by the way, had been to start at four o'clock in the morning and continue until midnight. "Suddenly one night early in De- cember, he awakened with an acute attack of pleurisy in the site of his old tuberculosis in the right side. Then his heart "began to show signs of grave weakness. Because of his double- sided illness, he could lie on neither his right nor left side. Twice he seem- ed on the road to recovery, when at- gave him serious relapses. He was seen in con- sultation by Dr. Hemingway of Taiku, a friend of many years, and Dr. Wampler, of Pingtingchow. We also attempted to get a specialist from Pe- king, but were unsuccessful because of the civil war around that city. How- ever, we were in telegraphic communi- cation with Dr. Meleny of the Peking Union Medical college, who studied Dr. Pye's case in 1923. These doctors did all that could be done and rendered invaluable assistance. We were able to secure a special nurse so as to give Mr. Pye every care. Passes Away Quietly "The lung signs improved, but the signs of heart weakness persisted, al- though he was kept strictly at rest. We had every drug available to modern medicine. One night before his death, Mr. Pye slept well. The next morning, he had a light break- fast and seemed in unusually good condition. His temperature was norm- al, and his pulse slowing and improv- ing in quality. Suddenly, at 10 o'clock, his heart hHegan to fail, and in spite of immediate stimulation, he passed away in twenty minutes. He was conscious to the last and had little pain. The immediate cause of his death was probably a large thrombus, or clot, lodging in one of the great vessels of the lungs or in the heart itself. "We feel that Dr. Pye laid down his life for this work, like the gallant soldier of the Cross he was. He might have spared himself and his life prolonged, but such was the intensity of his nature, and so keenly did he feel the call of this work, that it was seemingly impossible for him to con- serve his strength. No one realized, not even he himself, until this last ill- ness struck like a bolt from the blue. His body rests in a great casket of Chinese wood, bearing only one decora- tion, a great cross carved in the high head piece, prepared by the loving nands of his Chinese friends and fol- lowers. He is to be borne to his last resting place on the shoulders of several score of these same people, who have begged for the privilege of doing this. He is to be buried in a beautiful grassy terrace in the Valley of Yutaoho, next to his little daughter, Mary Elizabeth. Trained Many Leaders "Mrs. Pye won our unstinted ad- miration through it all. Her courage never faltered for an instant, and never did a patient have a more tender or more untiring nurse. Our only wish is that she and her little boy may stay on with us to give us the inspira- tion that only they can give. "'Fenchow has the largest and most able group of Chinese leaders of any mission in China,' were the words spoken just last week by Y. M. C. A. secretary at the provincial capital. "Mr. Pye's greatness and statesman- ship are clearly evidenced in this. From his first days in Fenchow he began. to seek out and train leaders. An ever increasing stream of young men and women have been going up through our schools and on to ccllege and university, either here or in America. Teachers, doctors, nurses, executives, pastors, are now busy in the work. In the schools others are coming on to take their share in this great program. " "These métt! are now saying that Mr. Pye's leadership will be even greater in the future than it has been in the past. We are all reconsecrating our- selves to give our very best in order that, all working together, his dream for hospital, school and church may come into reality to bring healing, light and life to the people all over this vast field. "You, his friends, will continue to bear us up in your prayers."
