THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
At the monthly concert of prayer for
missions last Sunday evening, Rev E.
E. Aiken gave graphic account of
one of the tours made by him in his
work as missionary in China going
out from Picking from village to vii
lage. A large audience listened with
great interest to his vivid descriptions.
He showed, how in some instances
Christianity spread from place to
place, along lines of relationship, so
that from the conversion of one person
his kinsmen in other localities are led
to consider and to adopt the new
doctrine. He spoke of one faithful
convert in Tientsin, known by himself.
often employed by the missionaries as
a messenger to distant stations, who in
the great Boxer persecution was put to
death by being buried alive, refusing
to accept deliverance by recantation:
Of another who was steadfast to the
end. Surrounded by brutal enemies of
hands he was hidden to sing one of the
Christian songs for the entertainment
of his prosecutors. He sang the
familiar song, "He Leadeth Me-"
Another song was demanded and he
sang "Heaven is my Home" Hardly
had the sound died upon the air, when
he was slain. Mr. Aiken reported very
encouraging intelligence from his
fellOw-WOrkerS in China, who have al.
ready resumed their labors there, the
people in one locality thronging about
the returning missionary, with proc
fuse and cordial greetings.
