Century-old Liaoyang Church in Liaoning held a preview exhibition of its history on May 12, welcoming the first batch of church staff to visit.
The retrospective exhibition displayed more than 100 pictures of the 133-year development of the church from 1888 to the present.
Besides the pictures of Charity Hospital founded in 1887 and Pastor James Lee from Scotland who sacrificed his life to build the church, there were also photos of a library, the church’s pastoral staff in 1898 and a church middle school established in 1904 by Liaoyang Church, covering an area of 9,000 square meters (2.22 acre).
In 1887, the British doctor James Allan Wylie purchased the Daming Temple in Dongliudao Street to build Charity Hospital and Church of Scotland Women’s Hospital, providing free treatment and medicine. Charity Hospital was listed as the ninth batch of provincial-level cultural relics protection units in Liaoning Province in 2014. Church of Scotland Women’s Hospital has been completely changed, except for the brand of "Unrated Cultural Relics Protection Unit" in Baita District, Liaoyang.

五月十二日，辽阳基督教会完成了“百年堂历史回顾展”的展品展示布置，迎来了第一批主内的同工参观预展。
回顾展用了100多幅的图片回顾展现了该堂从1888年至今133年的发展历史。
这里有用自己的生命换来教堂建设的英国传道人李雅各的照片、有1887年教会创办的施医院的照片、有1898年教会教牧同工的照片、有辽阳教会于1904年创建的“文德中学”，占地面积达到9,000平方米，还有实验室等，
预展参观结束后，笔者乘车参观了原辽阳基督教堂牧师府、医院、学校的旧址和遗迹。
1887年，英国医生吴阿礼购东六道街大明寺庙址创办了施医院（意为仁爱施与）医院和仁母院（妇女儿童医院），免费施医舍药。施医院2014年被列为辽宁省第九批省级文物保护单位，仁母院已面目全非，只是在旧址立有辽阳白塔区“未定级文物保护单位”的牌子。
