I have room for a sentence or two from Chin Toy at Sacramento, in a letter just received: “The tracts and small books were duly received. I was very glad for them. I think will do much good to our people. Street meetings here every Sunday. I give out some of the tracts at the end of the preaching. All hearers seemed very glad to come and get them. Each one say, ‘Give me a piece.’ I trust the Lord will bless the seed still growing, which were sown on these ground. This school is better lately. Had five or six new scholars come last week. The Christian brethren are all well and attend the meeting regularly.” And here is a little of the “shady side” in another field: “I found these three brethren here not quite love each other. They too much complained each other’s faults. I felt very sorry for them. I think every one of them is try to do right, but they are all impatient; that is the trouble. I visited some stores in Chinatown; invited men to come to school. Some men told me many scholars stayed away because the Christian boys quarrel. So I thought better write you that you will pray for them on that matter. I told them we must love and forgive each other, hold fast together in the bond of peace, and serve the Lord with the pure heart, then we will bring forth fruit.” Sound doctrine, to which many a company of American believers would do well to take heed, though it comes from the pen of one who once sat in darkness and worshipped idol-gods!
