The following cheery item it was my privilege to publish in the _Pacific_ of June 20th. I am sure that it will interest the readers of the MISSIONARY: In connection with our California Chinese mission, thirteen schools were sustained during the month of June. This is one less than were in operation in May, the school at Tucson, Arizona, having been discontinued temporarily. But the number of pupils enrolled was 595—a net gain over the preceding month of 45, and the largest enrollment ever reported. The average attendance was 314—larger by 10 than during the preceding month, and larger than was ever reported before. In the course of this fiscal year, thus far, not less than 1,465 Chinese have been enrolled in these schools, and have thus been reached by Gospel influences. Among the pupils now in the schools, 128 are reported as giving evidence of conversion. _Laborers wanted for God’s Harvest._—Christ bids us pray for these. I ask the readers of the MISSIONARY to join us in prayer for more Chinese helpers made fit by the power of God’s Spirit for the work that they, they alone, can do. The teacher in one of our more recently established schools writes me as follows: “I find it very hard to get along alone. We sadly need an efficient Chinese helper. The boys are beginning to think and ask so many questions, and each requires so much time for himself, that it is often after ten o’clock P. M. when I get through. Then there are so many Chinese outside that we cannot reach, and who will not come to school; and they need some one to meet with them and talk to them in their own language.” What is true of this school is just as true of all the rest. We have now nine of those helpers employed. I should like to add four to the list as soon as September 1st. Can I have the means to sustain them? I believe that if the Lord will send forth the men, I will trust Him for the money. But I certainly purpose not to waste the Lord’s money sustaining men whom I alone, not He, have called into the field. Unite with us in prayer for the _right_ men.
