Text Appearing Before Image:
an-darin, is very fond of reading our HolyBook, and that his wife loves to listen, as itdoes them good. Will you pray that GodsWord may accomplish in their hearts andlives that whereunto it was sent ? Our Sunday services have been CROWDED WITH WOMEN, averaging at least two hundred during theday. Last Sunday we also had a large num-ber of men, who insisted on coming aroundthe womens guest-hall, where I was con-ducting the service. We could not accountfor this, as there was preaching for men inthe street shop. The cause appeared lateron, however. I was told that a child hadbeen lost from the street adjoining ours; thestreet crier had been sent out, and when thepeople heard, they at once said I had stolenand eaten the child, so the crowd of nuncame to see the cannibal foreigner. I wasglad to hear that, before night, the child wasfound. Amid all difficulties, we are gettinglarge numbers daily to the dispensary, all ofwhom hear the Gospel of Christ, which isthe power of God unto salvation.

THIi HolM llol.l) AT VI H SHAN KIANG-S1, 21 IMatljnt ~#onu. BY MISS M. C. WORTHINGTON, UAN-HSIEN. MISS WORTHINGTON, writing from a wayside inn in Sichuan, says: We have come out here to tin- mountains fora sojourn. The mountain air outside of the inn room- isdelicious, and we shall find it a contrast when we shortly return to the city many Feet below. All experience 1- valuable in China, andnone more so than that which helps to acquaint one with the peoplein tluir homes. Heathen home-life has much of discomfort and littlereal joy in it; for instance, the daughters in law and younger sistersare all being crowded together with the other members of the familyin the He In,me. This of itself 1- destructive of much of tin- refine ment in womanhood, but no doubt i- also a protection, preventing many wives and children from being beaten to death, for when aquarrel becomes too violent the others may lend a helping hand to the unfortunate member of the family. The landlord here must be well-to-do
