the Bible, and his Bible-reading to the people and his work for Christ, were
in his own tongue. It was the truth in his own tongue that saved Little
Eagle. _Shall we not, then, teach the children Christian truths in their
own language?_

THE CHINESE.

A CHINESE CHRISTIAN IN CHINA.


Chin Toy was a shoemaker until he accepted my invitation to become a
Missionary Helper. His education, in English and as a Christian, has
been wholly in our humble mission work. He is now engaged in
evangelistic service. Having recently returned from a visit to his
native land, I asked him to give me an account of his experience there.
I give it below to the readers of the _Missionary_. W.C. POND.

DEAR PASTOR:--You asked me kindly to give you my experience during
my visit in China. I stayed home about ten months. I had a very
hard time there at first, because I have no Christian friends who
live near enough to help me. The temptations around me very great.
My father and my uncle wanted me to help in their store: they had
sacrifice-paper and candles for the offering of idols for sale.
This hurted my feeling very much. I told them I was a Christian. I
could not help in that business, for I know it was against the law
of the true God. They laughed at me and said I was very foolish to
believe such a doctrine. I found it very difficult to enlighten
their minds.
