am going above." With his last breath and his Bible open, he asked to be
shown the way, that he might go in it.

The influence of a genuine life is strongest at home, and so it comes
that the wife is seeking to follow her husband. There are other converts
with us now, but we shall never forget this first Gros-Ventre "friend,"
(madakina); and although the story of his life is not a peculiar one to
white men, nay for that very reason, we are glad to write this record of
a once lowly, but now glorified, believer.

THE CHINESE.

LOS ANGELES CONGREGATIONAL CHINESE MISSION.

BY REV. ROBERT G. HUTCHINS.

Our First Church has recently enjoyed two peculiarly impressive
occasions; one the anniversary on the 17th of last month, of the Chinese
school, established by Dr. Pond; the other the reception, on the 3d
instant, of six Chinese brethren to church membership. To appreciate the
significance of these scenes, one must remember how contemptuous is the
prejudice which prevails on this coast against these inoffensive
strangers.
