For THE RECORD.
We copy the following from letters writ
ten to the Lambertvillo Auxiliary of the
" Woman's Union Missionary Society" Mrs.
Thomson, at Shanghai, writes
You will be pleased to learn that your Bible.
Al
of this neighborhood aud the city within the
walls. She lives near u.s. with another Bible
reader, aud her usefulness is thus much in
creased, as the two go out together great
deal. Your woman is u very good talker and
does not hesitate, as many of the Chinese con-
verts do, to make known the truth. There
are many obstacles in China to women going
about alone. No unmarried, or very young
person, can go out unattended. All the mis-
sions feel the difficulty, so that the number OF
Bible readers is very small indeed. | think
you have no cause to feel other than encour-
aged by the abors of your woman.
Miss Fletcher writes from the American
Mission Home in Yokohama, to tell us
about the girl supported by the ladies in Lam
bertville, and says
/ have nothing special to tell you of Kunie,
except that she is improving, we hope, in all
good things. will try to have her write to
you soon. Our school gives added cause for
satisfaction and gratitude. We have lost by
marriage within the past year three of our
best girls, but others seem ready to take their
places. Below tie bluff on which our house
is built is part of the city where | go on
SUNDAY afternoon and gather my ragged
school . of little Japanese. They come from
the narrow alleys aud houses SO crowded and
small that hey look like sheds for animals.
Sometimes the room will hardly hold the lit
tie ones that crowd in. Few of the children
can read, but we teach them 20 repeat Bible
texts, the Lords Prayer and hymns
Miss Fletcher also writes of wonderful
mission work in the southern part of the EN-
pire of Japan, on small island named Shi-
ko-k ee, containing some three millions of peo
pie. Two or three years ago missionary
found his way there, and his preaching awak-
ened such an interest that the priests of the
Shintoo religion determined to counteract IT
by erecting new temple and soon IL was
completed, with the names of deyotees pa-
carded around it's walls. But the Christian
faith spread and many of these names were
added to the list Of believers in the true God.
In year they numbered more than thirty
and had native pastor, aud the interest is so
extended that hundreds attend the preaching
N~~s'i
too busy, often, looking for the fruits Of our
own labors to see the fields whitening for the
harvest. e
In e. Warren Clark's book of :" Life and
Adventure in Japan he speaks of the Mis-
sion Home" saying "The most interest
ing and successful missionary work found
at Yokohama is that of the American Mis-
sion Home established by three ladies sent
out by the Woman's Union Missionary Socie-
ty, and aims to educate and train Japanese
girls In Christian TRUTH.
The next meeting Of the Lambertvile
Branch win be held in the Presbyterian
Church the first Tuesday in May, before which
time The collectors will make their annual
visits, and we hope the interest in this work
may be fully testified. w
