DEAR FRIENDS: I am a Chinese. Why I not be a heathen? A few years ago I didn’t know anything about the Bible. I didn’t know about Christ. I had not heard of the true and living God; but I heard of this land, where so many of my countrymen came and I come too, and here I found Christian people who loved Christ, and for His sake love me and show me the way of life. When I first hear of the Bible I didn’t think I like it. I said: If no other books, I don’t care for this one; I don’t want such a book as this. I thought I didn’t need any more gods, for I said I have all kinds in the temple, and I could see them if I go there, but the God I hear of in America I cannot see! When I learn in the Bible what it says about the heathen gods that are made of silver and gold, the works of men’s hands—how they have mouth and cannot speak, eyes cannot see, ears and cannot hear, noses cannot smell, and hands but handle not—I learn also the God of the Bible made all things and sees us all the time, every thing is ruled by His hands. We must fear him, for He is powerful and glorious, but the idols is unwise. I am obliged to leave the idols and come to worship the true God, and trying to observe His law and commandments the Bible shows me how sinful I am, and if Christ had not come to the world to save me I am sure get lost. After I was converted I study the Bible more and more and learn great deal, great wonder to me. Now the Bible is a precious book. I am glad I accept the Saviour for my Saviour and His God for my God. “I pass from death unto life, from darkness and bondage of sin into the glorious light and liberty of a new creature in Christ Jesus.” What I expect to do if I still be a heathen? I must be bound to worshiping idols, bow down to all kinds of gods; great fear to them and not dare to touch them. Whenever I enter the temple, cannot without three bow to the idols.
