of the Christian Church can YOU find
an organization that will look after
people thousands Of miles avay2 He
had labored for twelve years in China,
having started with his bride in the |
good old apostolic way, two BY two, |
though one was girl, and had labored |
until his health failed. Speaking of |
the Ohiusse queue, while 70 that head |
there brings tale, yet there Is a head |
attached to tail. He then gave a very |
accurate and plain talk about the Chi |
Aeee oastoms. He piAyfally alluded TO
the pleasant manners Of eourting days
10 this country, &c compared With the |
60 between system Of China, where the |
fathers did all the oourting. He had |
known a man to be engaged to q girl |
two years old, and then depositino two |
dollars per month with her father until |
she was of age. Sometimes the boy re- |
bels. but il don't do any good, for the |
father rules the whole.
The first missionaries going to China |
went in an American sailing vessel In |
1873. From that time all churches have
been repsesented. Twelve years ago
there were bat 10000 native Christians, |
and there are nov $50 missionaries.
There were last January 25,000 living
Christian members. In all parts Of the
empire the Christian missionary is
found With his printing press, Sunday
school and church. Outside Of these
we find great many true Christians.
II is a strange thing in that empire that
the first word Of q girl is its last, being
mefdered by izs mother. Thus by
school and press and daily preaching
God 10 innpresaing the truth upon that
immense kingdom.
