ton, the missionary begins the dreary
work Of repeating after a Chinese
teacher the various words he learns,
giving to each in its turn the four diff
ferent tones Of the Chinese language,
each tone or infection having a dis
tinct and separate meaning. After q
year spent IN this way he makes his
first attempt at street preaching, and
by talking to natives wherever he can
get them to listen he seeks his drst
convert out Of whom he makes a help
