On the breaking out of the Opium War between England and China - at which date upwards of 12,000 cases had been treated at the Canton Hospital - Dr. Parker returned to America, visiting, also, England and Scotland. As a direct result of his efforts, a wide-spread interest was awakened in his work; auxiliary societies were formed, and the sum of $6000 was secured for the purposes of the Medical Missionary Society.
In Washington, D. C., Mar. 29, 1841, Dr. Parker married Miss Harriet Colby Webster, dan. of John Ordway, and Rebecca Guild (Sewall) Webster of Augusta, Me., and returned to China in 1842, - Mrs. P. being the first foreign lady to reside in Canton. In 1844, with the consent of the Pru. Com. of the Am. Board, he accepted the appointment, by Hon. Caleb Cushing, U. S. Minister to China, of Chinese Secretary and Interpreter to the Legation. An historical fact of interest may here be recorded : A projet of a treaty had been prepared by Mr. Cushing, and translated into Chinese, prior to the arrival at Canton of the Imperial Commis-
Parker. 661
sioner, Ke Ying. This projet was referred to deputies named by each of the two Commissioners, to be examined in detail. One of the Chinese deputies was Pwan Tze Shing, son of Pwan Ting-kwa, a Hong merchant, from whom Dr. Parker (one of the American deputies) had successfully removed a large polypus in each nostril, and whose mother had also been his patient. When, in the progress of their exam- ination, the deputies came to the 17th Article, which granted to Americans the right to rent sites and construct houses and places of business, also hospitals and cemeteries, Pwan Tze Shing -evidently as a graceful tribute of acknowledgment to the benefactor of his parents, as well as a public recognition of the claims of the Christian religion -proposed to add, "and temples of worship." The added clause was adopted, and was accepted by the Commissioners, and became a pro- vision of the treaty. Whether the prompting of personal gratitude, or of a broader motive, this suggestion prepared the way for the Imperial Rescript of Dec. 28, 1844, granting toleration to Christianity throughout the Chinese Empire.
In 1845, Dr. Parker was appointed by our government Secretary of Legation and Chinese interpreter, at which date his connection with the Am. Board of Missions ceased, though he continued his labors at the Hospital till 1855, when 53,000 names of patients had been entered on its roll. He then returned to America ; but was soon appointed U. S. Commissioner, with plenipotentiary powers, to revise the treaty of 1844. He reached China in December, and after two years' service returned to the U. S. in 1857. He has since resided in Washington, though a love for his native town has induced him to purchase the paternal homestead in Fram- ingham, where his summers are passed.
Dr. Parker was made a corporate member of the A. B. C. F. M. in 1871 ; was elected Regent of the Smithsonian Institution in 1868; and was appointed in 1871 by the Evangelical Alliance, one of the American delegates to Russia, to memo- rialize the Emperor in behalf of religious liberty in the Baltic provinces. His only child, Peter, was born in Washington, June 13, 1859.
