MISSIONARY WORK IN CHINA.
Miss A. Nj. Fielde's Estimate of the Success
of the Work.

Miss A. NJ. Fielde, who for two days has been
q guest Of Mr. and Mrs E. c. Atkins, No. 666
n orth Meridian street, left at noon yesterday
for Chicago Miss Fielde has been for seven
teen years missionary of the American Bap-
4st Missions at Swallow, China. The work of
the mission to which Miss Fiede is attached
IS the training of Chinese women as evangelists.
"The mission" said Miss Fielde, "was estab
lished in 1868 The district is about two hun.
dred miles long and seventy wide, and there are
thirty out stations, centers from which native
preachers. male and female, go out among the
towns and villages to preach the gospel. The
women who are educated as evangellsts are all
native Chinese women and all Christians. As
not one woman in thousand in China can read,
you will see that we dong a good work.
We have educated about one hundred altogether
having in hand from ten to thirty at
time. This education is wholly scriptural. All
the women, some of whom married and
others widows-in China the women are all
married long before they are twenty-are from
twenty to seventy years old. The length of
time taken in their education varies according
as they are bright or duh, from six months to
three years."
"Are they taught any Englisha"
mo English is used in their work, and no En-
Elsh is taught them. All is Chinese, no English
being spoken"
s'What is the immediate good in Christianity to
the Chinese?" inquired the reporter
christianity greatly improves the condition
of Chinese women. Under its influence the GUS
tom of binding he feet of female infants Is given
up girls are not married without their consent
from Chinese families; superstitions which keep
people poor, degraded and miserable are de-
strOyed; infanticide, so prevalent among nearly
oil classes, is given up. There many other
benefits TO the temporal welfare, leaving aside
the spiritual good, that Christianity has done
and is doing in China. The selling of girls is a
" crime of which only the lowest classes are
guilty. Our work is among he farmers, me-
chanics and shnp-keepers, neither the highest
nor the lowest classes Christianity has made
as much progress in the Swatow district as in
cry part OF China"
"A13i tiiib w0*x mas been going since 1868
How many Chinese Christians are there in that
distrcJq'
about eight hundred natives" said Miss
Fielde
"And what is the population2"
'Six million people. All missionary work is
slow. Though our number of converts appears
small, we have done well. IL is beginning
from which great results will follow.
