Sometimes I showed them some things which they never saw before, such as photograph album, Holy Bible, book of mission stories with many pictures in it. I explained the pictures to them and they were all pleased. I also told them that these good books were presented by my kind teachers. I gave the names of these faithful workers of the Lord and said they were the best friends of the Chinese, the reason was that they love Jesus. I then went on and told them about the true God, and his blessed Son Jesus, who love the whole world. They all kept quiet and listen attentively. Besides these, I show them my coal-oil stove, alarm clock, thermometer, etc. These things greatly pleased them. I told them the wonderful arts, the machineries, railways and the telegraphs. These news led them spoke out in a loud voice, "The people in Christian land have more wisdom than our Chinese." I said, "God gave this wisdom, our Chinese must love the true God and forsake the idols, then God will send the Holy Spirit to make us wise and happy, and love to do good. The Bible says, Trust the Lord and do good." After this, I found opportunity to preach the gospel every day. Though I could not make them become Christians yet, I was glad they shew so much interest in receiving the good seeds. Nearly every day, some people came in our little store and asked me to tell them about this new doctrine. During March, Rev. C.R. Hager paid us a visit. Our store was crowded with people. They all came to see him. He preached to them. Several of the students had a long talk with him. On the day of my marriage, my father did not compel me to worship the idols and ancestors. I felt very thankful for the Lord's help in this matter. My mother used to believe in all kinds of superstitions. If any one in the family was sick, she would go to a sorcerer and ask for some charms to heal the sick one. I told her that this kind of belief and doing were all wrong. I shew her how to pray the true God, and taught her to say the Lord's prayer. One day my sister was sick in bed, and my mother called me home to pray for her. I asked my mother whether she had been to the sorcerer or not. She said she had not. I then opened the Bible and read the first eleven verses from the fourth chapter of Matthew. I knelt and prayed, while my mother and all the rest of the family kept silent. When I said the Lord's prayer at the close, I asked them to follow me, but they were too bashful to comply. I am glad to say that my sister's health was restored, and this greatly pleased my mother.
