WOMEN IN THE CHURCH
. . The recent death at the age of 85 of Mrs. Nora Lambuth Park, a retired missionary of the Methodist Church, in Soochow, China, brings again before church people the name of one credited with doing perhaps more than another woman missionary half a century ago to free Chinese women from foot-binding and other social disadvantages. Mrs. Park was the widow of Dr. William Park, who was one of the most famous medical missionary pioneers sent to China by Methodism, and the founder of Soochow Hospital and several other hospitals. She was a sister of the late Bishop Walter R. Lambuth, long a medical missionary in China, and later founder of his church’s mission in the Belgian Congo, Africa. They were the children of the Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Lambuth, Methodist pioneers in China.
