FIRES.
HOUSE AT TARADALE
As a result of a fire that occurred at Taradale at about 2 o'clock yesterday morning, a house known as "Roseneath" occupied by Chinese market gardeners, was totally destroyed. The outbreak started in a room containing lime. The Chinamen, who had no insurance on their effects, lost all they had in the house, including a sum of money. Fourteen tons of potatoes were also destroyed. One of the Chinamen, who was a heavy sleeper, was somewhat burned in making his escape from the building. The house, owned by Mr. Kelly, of the Post Office, Wellington, was insured in the State Office for £llO.http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=HAST19110817.2.20&srpos=2&e=-------100--1----0chinese+taradale--

After many years of agitation— Synodical and otherwise— the Vicar, by corresponding with the Chinese mission authorities m Wellington, was able to secure the services of a Chinese lay evangelist— Mr. Young Choy, a good, simple man. After working Otaki on the way up, he threw himself whole-heartedly into the task, of making himself and his message known) to his fellow countrymen. Everywhere he was gladly welcomed by them, hospitality being
provided, also means of conveyance to 1 the various scattered Chinese gardens. At Taradaie, Napier, and Hastings, Sunday services were held for Chinese only, with encouraging results, so it is to be hoped this will be but the first of a series of visits, which cannot fail to do good. The Chinese themselves responded liberally towards the expenses of Mr. Young Choy's visit. Mr. Young Choy, w!ho has had fifteen years experience of such work, is but one oi the many fruits of the C.M.S. work m China.Taradale.
