“Nearly five years have passed since I leaved my native land and came to this country, where I found all the things strange and different from what I had ever seen before. I found there was much for me to learn. A friend of mine invited me to Sunday-school, and I went with him. When I returned to the Chinatown I ask some person what kind of people are they who teach us there? They said, American people; but I could not know how it was that they should be willing to come and teach us without pay. They told me that they were very good people who come to teach you, and talk about Jesus Christ, and show us the right way. I kept on going till I can read the Bible. Great many things very different from other books. My heart was touch of Christ. I could not understand all; but not many days after the same friend invited me to go with him to the evening mission school. So I went with him to the school. After the lessons were over, the Chinese helper explained the Bible and talk to us, telling us it was useless to serve idols; they cannot help us; _they cannot take care of themselves_. But we must come to God of heaven, who made all things, heaven and earth. We must ask Him to help us, and pray to Him to give us all things what we need. We ought to praise Him. So when I heard him say this I saw and felt all I had done before was of no use, and was very wicked. Then I make up my mind to leave off worshiping idols, and begin to worship the true and living God. So I went back where I was employed. When I kneeled down to pray I opened my window, because I thought God cannot hear me if I leave it closed. After a few days the Chinese helper request me to join the Association of Christian Chinese, which I did, and read the Bible day by day, learning more about Christ. Oh, friends, I was very happy when I was converted! when I come to Jesus and worship the true God; leave the darkness and follow the light, and try to lead others of my countrymen to learn of Jesus, and know Him who died for us and save us from sin. “When my father heard I follow Christ he sent me a letter. He said: ‘What are you doing out there? Are you going to believe Jesus, and leave all your countrymen, and your ancestors, and idols, and Confucius unserved?’ And he said: ‘No other way better than Confucius; so many of your countrymen do not believe Christ. You must leave off and come back to _our own way_. Believe the way that most of our people believe.’ But Christ tell us, ‘He that loveth father or mother more than Me not worthy of Me.’ I cannot leave off the way of Christ for the way of darkness; but I can try to bring them to Jesus. I hope you all, brethren, who come to Christ, will help hold up the light of the Gospel to shine on them which are in the dark and bow down to idols, and that many of my countrymen shall go back to China to tell the glad news to thousands there who have never heard of Christ; and if we cannot reward you, God will reward you every one.”
