Description:Excerpt from Life of Father Richard Henle, S. V. D. Missionary in China: Assassinated November 1, 1897 On the night of the 1st to the 2nd of November, 1897, the Fathers Francis Nies and Richard Henle were murdered in a little hamlet of China by heathen Chinese, The horrible massacre and especially its cruelty called forth at that time the indignation of the entire Christian world. Not alone Catholic but also non-Catholic newspapers and journals reported the violent death of the two missionaries. I was to share the same lot and only by an altogether special dispensation of Divine Providence I escaped. However, I had the happiness of receiving the last look of my never-to-be-forgotten friend Father Henle, a look which I shall always remember, so full of heavenly joy and love and so full of indescribable pain. Father Nies, who died in my place, was apparently dead, at least I could not discover any flicker of life when I came to him. It naturally devolved on me to write the life of the two assassinated missionaries, in particular that of Father Henle, who was then my superior and at the same time my best friend. Together we shared for a number of years the joys and sorrows of mission life and passed some happy hours of cherished memory in the silent solitude of a small Christian mission station; I knew him better than any one else could know him. Even in this introduction I wish to acknowledge that I have always regarded, honored and loved Father Henle as a saintly man. To him, the friend. I dedicate this little book.
