Stanley Peregrine Smith (Stanley P Smith) was sent to North China. Here he learned Chinese language and soon became as fluent a preacher in Chinese as he was in English. He died in China on 31 January 1931. Stanley P Smith was one of the Cambridge Seven comprising seven students from Cambridge University, who in 1885, decided to become missionaries in China. Having been accepted as missionaries by Hudson Taylor of the China Inland Mission the seven were scheduled to leave for China in early February 1885. Before leaving the seven held a farewell tour to spread the message across the country - it was during this tour that someone dubbed them "The Cambridge Seven". [Source: Wikipedia, 17/12/2013]
