The Heather chinee as Christian.

=
A San Francisco paper thus describes
the progress of Christian attempts to re-
generate the heathen Chinee in that city:
Here is richness again; yea, juiciness
galore. On last Sabbath band of
young followers of the meek and lowly
Jesus, after performing their devotional
exercises, retired from the sanctuary to
Brannan street, near Sixth, for contem-
plation and silent prayer. Here they
beheld a Chinee. One of the larger
youths at once lifted his voice to the
right hand of the throne with the brief
but fervent appeal, Howly Jesus, here S
Chineei and lifted up brick in his
own right hand. This example of zeal
was not lost upon his young companions
The Holy Ghost wrought in their awak-
ened hearts, and they all lifted up
stones. So they proceeded to make a
prophet Stephen of that heather, and
stoned him good. And about the same
hour another band Of Christian hope,
who we're on Fifth street, near Mission,
found also Chinaman, and the love of
their Savior wrought nightly in their
hearts; and falling on that pagan, they
entreated him spitefully. The leader Of
the band said they had Kicked hell out
OF him" 1t is at least sure that he was
transfgured before their eyes, and his
face glowed in rainbow hues, for there
was red and blue and yellow and green.
Perhaps the reader thinks that they were
goddess Hoodlums who did this. Not
any; they we're veritable Sabbath-school
lads, verbally let out from their Cos
pelry. And Of such is the kingdom Of
Christ in San Francisco.
